Khammam town and district[edit]

Looks like district information is mixed up with town .

This article needs cleanup . Pavithrans (talk) 10:33, 9 May 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Population[edit]

The population which is above 2 lakhs says that its taken from 2006 data which is quite surprising as there is 2001 and currently 2011 census . Was there a census in between ? Khammam population as per 2001 census is 1,98,620 [1]

Name[edit]

The old name was "Kammamettu" or "Kammamet" Evidences are given.Kumarrao (talk) 17:34, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The original name was Kamma Mettu as evidenced by six citations from 19th century books. It is prudent to accept historical truths. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.204.27.89 (talk) 14:30, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Needs more cleanup[edit]

I have performed some reorganisation and cleaned up some parts of the article . But the article as of whole needs a lot of cleanup .--Pavithrans (talk) 12:24, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Add sources.--Vin09 (talk) 05:58, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology[edit]

The original name of Khammam was Kammamettu as evidenced from the records of British India and Christian missionaries. Proper citations were provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polumetta (talk • contribs) 16:09, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I didn't know that Telugu was the native language of the British and Christian missionaries. Telangana state government has to learn Telugu from them, I suppose? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:41, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am amazed at the logic of your argument. Wikipedia has some very "capable" administrators. Hail Wiki.Polumetta (talk) 17:42, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Edits were not disruptive but backed by reputed authors. That appear disruptive to stupid scoundrels who pose as administrators. Pity! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.196.2.234 (talk) 17:47, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you hot shots provide full citations and quotes then? And, why is the history provided by the Telangana government being deleted? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:52, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
