Talk:Pondicherry

message: Someone please edit the main article along the following lines:
Only the Union Territory of Pondicherry has been renamed to the Union Territory of Puducherry by an act of the Indian Parliament. Pondicherry city remains Pondicherry city. A notice to this effect will be published in the next gazette of the govt (of Puducherry).
It is likely that the local  politicians will decide to rename the city too to Puducherry. But this is a long drawn out process, requiring the consent of various central govt ministries; it is much easier to rename a state or a union territory than it is to rename a city. So at least for the next few months or even years, the city will remain Pondicherry.--Ujm 02:52, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This article states its Pondicherry....and then it says it used to be known as Pondicherry...well isn't that the same thing?....And wasn't it changed to Puducherry? Os it that a different place? ? 71.106.83.19 (talk) 17:44, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. The leade still states the same as above. Very confusing. It seems that the city's name wasn't changed when the Union Territory name was changed, but is in the future. Can a knowledgeable editor confirm?--TGC55 (talk) 22:33, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Which reference, among the ones present in the page already, is the source for the native name in the article? The only two instances of the French name are the ones that you have added. —Gazoth (talk) 20:52, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Oops, did I add the French name as the native name? I'll correct it to other name. Also, according to the treaty of cession to India, since the Government of India hasn't specifically repealed French as the native language, French is an official language and the French name is Pondichéry. This appears in many places, for example, the Lycée français de Pondichéry, a famous school here.-- friendlyneighborhoodanon 20:56, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

message: It is incorrect to state in the article that the city is 'now known as Puducherry'. It is emphatically not known by this name in English, the language of the article, as well as other languages - 'Pondicherry' remains the normal, common place-name. The name may have officially been changed by the local government, but that is not the same thing. The article ought to state it in these terms, i.e. 'Pondicherry, now officially renamed Puducherry' etc. 2A01:CB04:86D:4300:69BE:ED07:DBD1:B29 (talk) 10:02, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
