Talk:Belgaum/Archive 2

message: I have archived the old Talk page for two reasons:
# It was huge (125 kb+)
# It really had nothing in it that contributed towards the improvement of the article.
Let's use this space from now on to discuss factual improvement of the article, and not indulge in politics or speculation.
For starters, I think this article needs some updates to information related to Belgaum 
* Connections (air, rail, broad, bus)
* Rise of importance as an "education city"
and let's try and clean out political commentary and editorialization.
Let's make this a great article!

message: I suggest that this section be redone. It is really of interest only to very few people in a global readership context.
Instead of just listing out a number of institutions, I suggest we replace this section with some text about the growth of the professional colleges, with a few examples in terms of genre (engineering, medicine, etc.) rather than trying to make this a place to list every institution of note in Belgaum. Please understand that every institution is of note to people associated with it, so this could become a never-ending story. :)

message: Belgaum is a very important centre for industry. Yet this article hardly touches upon this. We need to fix this. Any volunteers from Belgaum knowledgable about this who could provide information in the Industry section?

message: User:Mahawiki has violated rules far too many times with this article to be allowed to continue the politicization of this article. In accordance with Wikipedia rules, I am requesting arbitration by admins. Achitnis 14:21, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

message: It seems like this article includes information about both city and district when there is already a separate article for the district. Would it be all right to remove the district information from this article?  Mattisse(talk) 02:48, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I've moved the culture section below the geography section because I think it makes the flow of reading better. I hope this is fine.

message: Kannada editors STOP your POV pushing yet again. Naveenbm and KNM(it seems u have no other work than to impose ur language.I am amused to find that u ppl 'come' unitedly wherever u need to push ur POV). 
Read this and this to ascertain the majority of Maharashtrians and their 'opposition' to Kannada.
Belgaum has 3/4th of population of Maharashtrians. They care less about Kannada. The order of transliteration is not followed as u said. U can find many articles which doesnt go alphabetically. Sanskrit is placed before kannada at Carnatic_music. technically though Kannada should find here, at the ground zero there are no takers for kannada. yesterday's Black day has ascertained it.Stop ur POV pushing and taking advantage of 3RR rule.

replies: text: I don't understand why people rake up a new issue each day. The transliteration order was this way all these days and there was no problem with it. All of a sudden, Bereft of any chauvinistic citations, this seems to have been raked up. Please let people contribute productively on wikipedia article pages, rather than waste their time on meaningless discussions on article talk pages. Request some admin to please take note of this.

replies: text: I have requested Blnguyen's intervention. And btw please dont blame all on me. Your Kannada friends are being chauvinist and dont assume good faith. U might be knowing the all fuss about my Tarun Bharat citation was all unnecessary and childish. The citations I gave now are far from being chauvinist. The transliteration was that way because I didnt have any citations. Thanks. Mahawiki 17:02, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Naveen has reverted the article even though I gave him citations and told him to wait for admin's intervention. This shows the Kannada users are in no way of Good faith edits and unnecessarily provoke. naveen was prompt to wake up to help POV pushing here after 2-3 hours wikibreak as soon as KNM had his first revert here.(see-Belgaum page history and Naveen's contribs) These people's action makes me paranoid!

message: I think the literacy numbers are incorrect. If 54% of men are literate and 45% of women, then how come total literacy is 78%??.
