message: Does anyone know why Puhar is mentioned in this article? It was a Chola port. If ther s no valid reason, I will remove the reference. - Kingsleyj 16:28, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Puhar is Chola! 

message: It is utterly ridiculous to claim that the Pandyas could be traced back to 9000 B.C.E. Ther is not a single justifying reference for this claim. If we want to keep these pages reliable, this list needs a thorough clean up.

replies: text: I read the rewrite and find it amazing. Can you replace the current article with the rewrited version? After doing that, we can add mor stuff on Pandyan architecture taking some points from :ta:பாண்டியர் காலக் கட்டிடக்கலை. Also, the existing map in the article showing the later extent includes some Indonesian islands. We should check sources with User:Senthilkumaras and incorporate redrawn maps into the article. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 08:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Sundar for your award. I will look into extending this article with the social and cultural information from the Pandyan period. I will also look to source an authentic map. - Parthi (Venu62) 09:21, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ridiculous claim of Pandyas going back to 9000 B.C.E.! 

message: Hello all,
         
Pandiyan is the correct spelling,remember the State Transport Buses in Madurai was Pandiyan Roadways.The current Pnadyan looks ridiculous.It also matched the exact Tamil pronounciation.If no one objects then may be I may shift it to Pandiyan and re-direct the current content over there.

thread_title: Pandiyan looks better than Pandyan

message: The article currently says:
:Pandyas also had trade contacts with Ptolemaic Egypt and, through Egypt, with Rome by the first century, and with China by the 3rd century. The 1st century Greek historian Nicolaus of Damascus met, at Damascus, the ambassador sent by an Indian King "named Pandion or, according to others, Porus" to Caesar Augustus around 13 CE.
I can't find the relevant quote in Nicolaus of Damascus. Strabo says exactly the same thing in section 15.1.4, but I can't find any indication that he got it from Nicolaus. Can anyone provide more information on this, or should I change it to reflect the Strabo passage instead? --Iustinus 05:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Iustinus. I am not sure if the account by Nicolaus of Damascus still exists, but Strabo does mention that he obtained the story from him (see Nicolaus of Damascus article, Strabo, xv, 1-73). PHG 05:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Aha! I'll look for that bit then. Thanks as always! --Iustinus 09:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

message: How can Maaravaramban Kulasekara Pandyan I die in 1308 and rule until 1311? 
"# Maaravaramban Kulasekara Pandyan I (1268 - 1311)"
"On the death of Maaravaramban Kulasekara Pandyan I in 1308, a conflict..."
I have gone ahead and changed the final year of his rule as 1308. Please do leave a message if that's inaccurate. --Madhu 13:19, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
