thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: Hello. My apologies for not making myself aware that this talk page was being used, before making recent changes. I've only got enough time just now to comment on the 'State of Coorg' section, which I removed yesterday. Previously, I removed the history section, because someone else had already created another History of Kodagu page with the same content. The historic State of Coorg is history, and it belongs there. However, I put in mention of the current autonomy movement. If someone can provide enough material to make it a separate section, then please do so.  Imc 07:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: State of Coorg

message: I've twice recently removed the suggestions that Kodavas may have originated in the Middle East or with the Greeks. Several other theories exist, most with little evidence.  There is a little evidence for the Middle East origin and it could reasonably go in if a clear source stating the evidence was quoted. There is no evidence that I know of for the Alexander's army theory, except repeated conjectures that keep floating round the internet. As far as I can make out, it is just somebody's fancy and probably originate in those Kodava who would like to think of themselves as a little bit European.  The unsubstantiated theories have no place anywhere with encyclopaedic pretensions (unless they are examples of thinking without evidence). Imc 22:08, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Origins of Kodavas

message: The DED seems to suggest that the name "Kodagu" possibly has some connection with "west" (The relevant entries are 1649 and 2203).  At any rate, the fact that this term seems to go back to Proto-Dravidian (note that it treats "Kurukh" and "Kodagu" as coming from the same root) would seem to rule out the etymologies which this article suggests, so perhaps the best way forward is to remove them unless they're confirmed by a reliable linguistic source? -- Arvind 23:53, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etymology 

message: I'm copyediting this page, and there's one sentence that I'm taking out which refers to a threat that globalisation poses to the region.  I'm removing it because it is unspecific and unsourced, but I think it would be a good idea for someone to check that out and see if it needs to be included in the article.

message: Just to let you all know I'm back at work. If I accidentally alter or delete information, please wait 2-3 days before editing/correcting so I can finish the wording. BTW: the ancient and modern Hebrew name for Greece was Yavan, if this has any bearing on ethnic origins. Thank you all, Shir-El too 21:03, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: coorgcreek.com

message: Hi, I personally prefer the use of the local name (in Kodava takk and in Kannada) Kodagu over the anglicised word Coorg. But as many people, especially outside Karnataka, are unaware of the name Kodagu and instead know of Coorg as being a popular tourist destination i had used both terms. However one must remember that Kodagu is the older and more authentic name, the word Coorg arose from callous mispronunciation. There are many theories regarding the origin of the words Kodagu and Kodava but most of them are mythical hence they can't be verified. However they all have the same root 'Koda-'. This must be analogous to 'Tulu' (as in Tuluva and Tulunad).
Also many people lay stress on the foriegn origins of the Kodavas. Till date that hasn't been proved, instead it is known from ancient inscriptions that the Kodavas lived in the same land Kodagu from many centuries. Both the Kodavas and Kodagu have similar names, one arose from the other, hence they have very ancient ties. Also one must not forget that there were several smaller-numbered communities of Kodagu who were similar to them while belonging to different castes and social classes : Amma Kodavas (Brahminised), Kodagu Gowdas (Vokkaliga), Heggades (agricultural), Airis (artisan), Kodava Moplah (Muslim), Poleyas (Dalit), Yeravas (tribal), Betta Kurubas (tribal), etc. Many Thanks.

thread_title:  Names and Origins 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Kodagu's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "demographics":
From Karnataka: 
From Orissa: 
From Demographics of Karnataka: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 03:48, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Kodagu]] 

message: This article was moved as above without discussion. There is no convention that districts must have the word 'district' after their name. There is the  Wikipedia convention that names should be the standard common form. I am therefore requesting that this be moved back to Kodagu. Imc (talk) 17:59, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

message: In the history section it says that British rule "led to establishment of educational institutions" and "better governance". The first statement means that there were no educational institutions before the British came in which cannot be true. The second one is a judgemental statement.
