Talk:Ooty

message: Unfortunately, this article still reads like a tourist web site, not like an encyclopedia article. Tom Radulovich 15:11, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: cleanup

message: The original thing is that OOTY and other surrounding places had completely lost it's goodness in terms of preserving nature. The money motivated activities completely destroyed these places. Now the most of the places are filled with concrete.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrajutirupur (talk • contribs) 06:53, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: More Cleanup

message: The 2 pictures of Tea Gardens in Ooty are incorrect. They are actually both in neighbouring Coonoor. People who have visited Ooty will know that there are actually no tea gardens in Ooty, largely due to it being slightly too high in altitude. There are a few tea gardens on the way to Valley View on the Coonoor road, and others towards 10th mile and Glenmorgan. Most of the Tea fields in the Nilgiris are in Kotagiri and Coonoor. I will edit these pictures as soon as I can add new ones. Petkows 15:34, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misconceptions about Tea 

message: I would agree strongly with Tom Radulovich's comments that this article reads like a tourist web site. I have attempted to clean up phrases like "A must see" and "It is very beautiful" etc. Also there was some ambiguity with the original size of the lake, though there are a number of references which will backup some of the info I have added.
I would like to dispute the fact that "Ketti Valley is the second longest in the world". If someone could substantiate on this, or back this up with at least another referece this would be useful. Whilst in Otty, you hear many guides telling you 'facts' such that it is the largest (or second largest) valley in the world, or widest, deepest etc. depending on who you hear the story from. How is valley length measured anyhow? Surely the Indus Valley, Grand Canyon, Death Valley (to cite a few) are all longer than this. I have edited this comment out for the time-being.
In addition, I feel it is not very good citing distances in hours rather than in physical length (km etc.). This is ambiguous as it depends on speed of travel etc. and I would encourage further edits once info becomes available.
I hope others can add to this and make this page more professional! Petkows 15:15, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Further Cleanup 

message: This page still reads like a tourist guide. For a start I decided to move some of the info I had previously put on the Ooty page on access roads into the Nilgiris District onto a new page at Nilgiri Ghat Roads. There are many reasons for this which I have posted in the discussion on that page. Petkows 13:23, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Tnlogo.png

message: There is no need to constantly keep editing details on Coimbatore Airport. (User 203.221.44.107) There is a dedicated article on Coimbatore Airport already and a link should suffice. It is a fact that this is the nearest airport to Ooty for fixed wing aircraft. A particular emphasis (with bold) wants to be placed on the fact that it is now an international airport. Is this really necessary? 
I have again cleaned up the last edit on this, and in my opinion until more details of the Ooty helicopter services begin this section should suffice for now.Petkows (talk) 15:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The weather data is flawed. I have looked up the source and can find no references. Unless a new ice age has occured...Ooty does not ever dip to minus 25 nor does the temperature in April hover between -2C and -7C. Could someone correct this please.

thread_title:  Weather 

message: I cleaned up the language, as it was truly abysmal before.  It had this stream-of-consciousness style, and there was this bit about the Toda village, "which was the place given to John Sullivan as a complimentary gift by the Todas and is now called as 'Old Ooty' where there stands the first ever house built by British till date," which did not seem appropriate for this section.  If someone could make heads or tails of this snippet, it seems like it could be made use of elsewhere in the article. 3:23, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Udhagamandalam / Ooty is a railway station . Station code is UAM. So I have added back catgeory railway station in Tamil Nadu. Please do not revert it. Jethwarp (talk) 06:56, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Ooty is not a railway station. It is a town. I wouldn't mind adding it to a category like :Category:Towns with Railway stations in Tamil Nadu. I think you are getting me wrong here. Suraj T 09:20, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think you are getting it wrong. Firstly, there is no category like - Towns with Railway station is Tamil Nadu. Secondly, all towns having Railway Station are added to this category only. For your personal views you can not remove the category. If you feel you are right please create a consensus or start a discussion at proper forum. I am going to add back the category again. It is obvious that if the place has a railway station either it is a town or populated place. Jethwarp (talk) 09:43, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If there are no categories like Towns with Railway station is Tamil Nadu, then you can create it and start adding to it. A mistake done many times doesn't mean it is the correct way to do it. I find it very hard to agree with you. I am well within my right to revert the error I notice in the article and you are well within your right to go to WP:DRN. Cheers. Suraj T 10:52, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Should the "History" section in the Ooty article contain 'various Tamil kingdoms ruled over Nilgiris' which include even Cheras and Pandyas for whose rule over Nilgiris, there is hardly any concrete proof in the form of inscriptions/manuscripts/works indicating ruler, date, area of Nilgiris ruled, etc.?

replies: text: Perhaps the cite could note the nature of the source (for instance, "from a gazetteer"), or could say that "historians have not reached consensus on this," if it is disputed. The issue of kingdoms is significant; thanks for bringing this up.Parkwells (talk) 01:04, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
