message: Triplicane is derived from the Tamil word 'Thiruvallikeni' ("Thiru" denoting the sacred/salutation, "Valli" or "Alli" meaning the Lilly flower, "Keni" meaning a pond - in other words, a place with a pond of lillies). Triplicane is famous for the centuries old temple, the Parthasarathy Kovil, whose main deity is Parathasarathy or Venkatakrishnan. Triplicane is also well-known for the various lodges and cheap accomdations it offers to bachelors.
It is located near the Marina beach in Chennai, Tamilnadu.

message: The various references and links to authentic websites and newspaper articles establish the existence of various objects/locations discussed in the latest version of the article(as on 20.3.12) namely mada streets, market, temple pond,parthasarathy temple, its culture, festivals, streets of triplicane, hotels, and so on. The links also say that marina beach, parthasarathy temple and mada streets are an integral part of triplicane. Since the are from authentic  news articles like hindu news article, times of india, indian express, deccan chronicle;  wikipedia will eventually stop complaining  and cribbing that the content in this wikipedia article is unverifiable, biased and other stuff. Additionally, weasel words, and low profile words like ondikuduthanam, madras bashai and too many other low profile words written by the previous author were removed , thus improving this article. Many references to news articles (like times of india or hindu or indian express, deccan chronicle) establish the importance, truthness, relevance, verifiability, of this article and thus will lead to improving it to the quality standards of wikipedia content. Additionally, parthasarathy temple original website is added as reference so that wikipedia stops cribbing that the contents are unverifiable or biased.
All the biased and useless, low profile content written by previous author(s) or editor(s) have been deleted leading to improvement of this article
Moreover, 
Wikipedia states that this article is of low importance. This view is completely wrong has this area triplicane is important from  not only heritage point of view, because of the fact that one of the 108 holy shrines i.e parthasarathy temple is in this this area, but also the world's second longest beach is in triplicane.Triplicane is moreover, one of the important areas of the Chennai , Which is one of the major metros of india and also an interanational city.
If two such important places in this planet are in this article/location/area triplicane, how come the article become unimportant?
All the unbiased content, so called weasel words, unverifiable content, have been removed from this article. Whatever has not been removed is almost verifiable, and the necessary references/images/external web links/ aerial map views have all been provided to support substantiate and justify the content.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snokia (talk • contribs) 18:29, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Summary: The edits by the user show that his motive is to merely remove content in the article.This may be out of vendetta, vengeance, or hatred towards the article and/or it's editors. This attitude to keep removing content from the article citing some or the other rule of wikipedia may sound intelligent on the first sight, but it's rather easy and is destructive in nature. Few of his edits in the article may be good, but that remaining are with a orientation to merely REMOVE content from this article. 
To Anbu121:
You seem to be removing a lot of stuff from the Triplicane article. Although, few of your edits can be justified, the remaining edits which form a majority seem to remove content simply with a motive to remove them. I understand that there are so many rules in wikipedia, but if you follow all of them, you simply can't write anything. To put it in other words, the extent,depth and complexity of the rules of Wikipedia is in such a way that writing or editing an article, particularly, an article on a neighbourhood like this one, is too difficult. Firstly, content available from newspapers is lesser and secondly, anything that goes into the article would seem trivial, since it's at the level of a small area, not a city or state or country. Well I can follow "Ignore rules" rule of wikipedia to undo some of your edits which removed a lot of content. As long as I don't do any business or commercial activity, I think it's ok to include the content, such as the table of bus routes. I saw several city or neighbourhood articles in wikipedia (both india and abroad cities) which had a table of bus routes. I really don't understand why you seem to deal with vengeance and vendetta when it comes to this article. Why don't you remove content in other articles where there are tables containing transport information such as bus routes and train routes. Please understand that it's very easy to remove content quoting some or the other rule of wikipedia, but it's difficult to add content, that too sourced content. Following every rule in Wikipedia, you can point out millions of mistakes and edit or remove content. On the whole, it would be better if you see the totality of the matter - just check if the content is not personal stuff or commercial, vulgar, erroneous, UN-sourced,etc - This would do. With the mere motive to remove content, anyone can quote some f*ing rule of wikipedia and remove it. I can remove hotels saying these are commercial, list of schools or colleges or temples saying these fall under the category "directory". Then perhaps, I can remove streets - saying wikipedia is not a travel guide. I could also remove train routes stating a similar reason. I would end up removing mansions, stating they are promoting a business or acting like a travel guide. I could remove ZamBazaar citing it's trivial. I would remove all content pertaining to Parthasarathy temple by moving it to the other articles.
Similary, one can remove roads, saying wikipedia is not a travel guide. List of banks, religious places, schools, hospitals, yoga centers, departmental stores can be removed under the rules directory/travel guide/commercial. Details on agraharams may be removed on the grounds of irrelevance. And eatouts, malls, can be removed as done by you. Bus stops, image on bus stops, how to get to other areas - may be removed on the grounds that wikipedia is not a travel guide or directory. 
Then some of the famous personalities may be removed since they merely lived in this area, citing that they don't have or have negligible significance with the article or its subject.
History - Timeline may be removed saying wikipedia is not a textbook or directory, or reference guide, etc. 
 Now go and look at the article - nothing would be left. So this shows lack of common sense or rather merely behaving like a machine that processes a set of commands following certain rules.
Or otherwise, this shows your attitude towards this article which is purely destructive in nature. Please don't justify by quoting some of your edits which were proper or constructive. But from this you cannot extrapolate things. 
Like this, If I continue removing content, nothing would be left in this article except for the Heading or article title, which would be eventually removed stating that there's no content in the article! - what an irony.
I don't want to do tit for tat for everything you do.  
On one hand, I wish to refrain from further edits to this article, perhaps other articles in wikipedia too - because of you. On the other hand, I might however, wish to continue editing, since constant criticism should not hamper my constructive work. 
I have taken so much effort to collect sourced content in this article, collecting sourced content for an area or neighbourhood in a city is very difficult considering the triviality of the subject on a broader scale. 
However it's very easy to remove stuff quoting some f*ing rule or the other on the wikipedia.
I wonder why you have so much obsession to remove stuff from this article. You may argue why I have obsession to add stuff to this article, anyway, I hope you would understand obsession that is constructive is far better than one that emanates out of vendetta, bias, negative attitude, dominating nature and a gut feeling that "I rule the wikipedia". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snokia (talk • contribs) 
I don't have time to explain you each of my edits individually. I have done that in the edit summaries. If you want to include certain information again in the article, start a new section on this page. Lets discuss about it. Articles in Wikipedia are improved by discussion among various users, not by abusing other editors Anbu121 (talk me) 05:48, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Edits by user Anbu121 on Triplicane Article

message: Am I in Wiki? There are a few brilliant additions to this page (such as information from 4000 Divya prabandham). However, there are tons of personal opinions and descriptions about food. What bussiness does Kaju cutlet have here??? On the whole, this looks like a tourist guide in black and white. Please advise on this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Challengethelimits (talk • contribs) 03:32, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Challengethelimits on the nature of the article. There is a great abundance of information, and is highly detailed. But the tonality and the context fit more closely with a travel guide. Perhaps this is better for Wikitravel? I ask that you should check other Wikipedia articles that have been written about neighbourhoods or locales, to get a clear idea about distinctions between a Wikipedia encyclopaedia entry and a travel guide.

thread_title: Confused

message: I have removed the table of bus routes in the article due to the following reasons:
1) Bus route infomration is not constant over time. It keeps changing every now and then. I feel, an encyclopedic article should contain information which is stable over time.
2)The article still has list of bus numbers under the section 'Public Transport' in the subsections 'Nearby areas and How to get there' and 'Other Areas and How to Get there'. Hence, essentially, it is duplication of information. I am OK with including the table and removing these two sections.
Discussions welcome. Anbu121 (talk me) 05:12, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Do we really need to retain the table? I feel mentions about frequency of buses will do. Challengethelimits (talk) 15:17, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Table of Bus routes 

message: Currently, this article is awry, or at least requires heavy editing. The article now has a few important and lots of unwanted (or at least I feel so) information. I believe the info on transportation need to be seriously tweaked. Anybody on this? Let me add a checklist for things to be done on this article.
1.	Restructure headings
2.	Remove unwanted or unrelated info 
3.	Remove sources from blogs and forums
4.	Copyedit for grammar and spellings
5.	Remove trivial information like yoga centers (yoga centers are present in almost all areas)
Anybody can add to this list the things to be done. Thanks in advance. Please revert if you feel my POV is wrong.Challengethelimits (talk) 05:48, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I uphold your points and I find this entry to be more like a travel guide. I mean, it's great for me to use it I guess, because I never been anywhere CLOSE to Chennai. So if I ever were to stop there, there's a plethora of information that can be used. But that's not the point I'm making. I agree that the article needs major restructuring - I think much of it could be used instead in WikiTravel. I think once we have substantially fixed the Chennai MRTS, Chennai Metro and related articles, we can fix this one up. H-Man (talk) 20:34, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Have cleaned up most of the sections (save for sections on Vaikunta Ekadesi, Famous Personalities, and Legacy, for which I've added comments to intimate the editors), removing the unwanted references and unsourced information. Still need to be done a lot. Rasnaboy (talk) 15:46, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Excellent work Challengethelimits. That's really a good start. Have wikified (somewhat) the rest of the sections (except a couple of sections at the end). Please review if possible. Thank you. Rasnaboy (talk) 15:49, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

message: The information contained in the table is partial. Either put the entire table/list or remove this table fully. Having partial information is misleading. In the previous versions of the article, I had put up a detailed table of bus routes, which may be referred to.
