thread_title:  excellent work 

message: It's been about 6 months now since I completely overhauled this article once over due to blatent infringements of WP:NPOV, and it's been a few months since I last checked the quality of the article.  I cannot believe how much rubbish has found its way in without being reverted - pretty much every sentence after the opening section has some sort of POV being pushed about how great Mangalore is, or how much so and so will make Mangalore a great city or something along these lines.  What is worse is near the end of the article - several sections that are just lists of places - their inclusion violates WP:NPOV, WP:CITE, WP:NOR and WP:MoS.  I've scrapped as much as I can be bothered to do now, but there is tonnes still left to be done.  It's in a very poor state, and I have a discerning feeling it might be in need of yet another complete overhaul.  DJR (T) 17:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Dear Konknni friends,
Konkani Wikipedia has been started and been in test stage since August 2006.
Kindly contribute towards the Konkani wikipedia. We intend to make it a multiscript 
Wikipeida. At least tri-script with Roman ,Devanangiri and Kannada scripts since these are the most popular ones.
We would like to get more articles/templates in place. 
We also need volunteers to do the thankless and boring job of transliterating it to different scripts .
As of now only two members are making active contributions. The more the merrier. Your contribution is vital to its success.

message: Had British ruled longer they would have completed the railway link to Bombay. But why it is required to mention three times in the article that it was an unfinished job of British. The Konkan Railway is an engineering marvel, proundly completed by Indians. So, advising owners/contributer to change that mention.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Piyushj23 (talk) 03:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Repeated Mention of British for leaving tracks uncompleted

message: The article cites that Mangalore is the fastest growing Indian city followed by Kochi.This is absolute nonsense.For the information of author,there is no comparison between Mangalore and Kochi,infact Mangalore is no where near Kochi.For your information Kochi is the fastest growing metropolis in India.
So pls change that meaningless note. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 122.167.140.197 (talk) 07:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: comment' the problem in keeping seprate articles for one city is that any edits in one will have to be carried out to the other. This is an unnecesary duplication(see ‎Chitpavan Konkanastha Brahmins and Chitpavan and you will realise it is a miserable task to keep both in order when they are one and the same ). Rather redirects allow us to point to one article ,or subsections. so we can have redirects named Kudla , Mikal, Kodial. It is rare that anyone searching on the english encyclop will search for local names; but in that case they do they will be redirected to this article. And we can amplify the names section and make it more detailed. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 11:10, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure I understand this disagreement. Are you disagreeing with a merge because Kudla contains nothing that is not already in Mangalore? If so, it is still a "merge" to simply redirect. In this case, as there is an alternate use for the word "Kudla" (Kudla, South Australia), it is probably appropriate to leave that page as a disambiguation page. --Scott Davis Talk 15:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Mangalore on a Map

message: I think this article should be locked for editing. The user by name 'Tulu war' is always seen vandalizing the article without any discussion. Some of his statements are even baseless. He always erases any word called Kananda in the article. Love for Tulu is fine. Even my mother toungue is Tulu. But vanadlising the article in such a way nothing but depiction of Tulu fundamentalism. One should not forget that Kannada is the administrative language in this region.

replies: text: Can you tell the reason and necessity of doing this.--PremKudvaTalk 04:31, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Yes, Ofcourse
If you just check most of the cities, almost all of them have IPA phonologies.
But the main pupose is not that.........
Consider a word BAT
U can pronounce it either the way we pronounce BAT in English or the way I have written बट in devanagari. None of them is wrong.
BAT	बट
bæt	bɑːt
But check their IPA phonologies. They are different.
Similarly, Mangalore may be pronounced in many ways.
Check in Mangalore itself, the letter a in Mangalore is silent and its effect is just implied by nasal stress.
Therefore, putting a IPA name for Mangalore is the best way to avoid errors of any sort while pronounciation.
Morever, IPA phonology is very significant in Wikipedia. If U are editing something, then just check below, along with different characters, you will also find a IPA
Mangalore has already made it's mark on the globe. It has also been twinned with Hamilton in Canada. 
Therefore, I suggest we should add a IPA phonology for Mangalore.</br>Kensplanet (talk) 08:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I checked various other major Indian city entries on Wikipedia and found no one has adapted it yet. Currently adding  it makes the article look clumsy, and I wonder if it will serve its purpose. If it becomes a standard then do add it.--PremKudvaTalk 10:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
