References[edit]

at least one of the references in this article are labeled simply "Book." Should I delete the information it is referencing, or hope someone comes back to change it? Orcahuman (talk) 17:12, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Book" is reference name for Ayub, Akber (ed), Kerala: Maps & More, Kumarakom, 2006 edition 2007 reprint, p. 53, Stark World Publishing, Bangalore, ISBN 81-902505-2-3. The first time all details are there and subsequently the references are marked only "Book". This detailing is visible only when one opens the edit. In the normal page the reference leads to the deatils. Multiple references to the same source are marked in this manner in hundreds of Wikipedia pages. - P.K.Niyogi (talk) 10:26, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such Bird Sanctuary officially[edit]

Officially there is no such Bird Sanctuary in this name, or in this area. Please check http://www.kerenvis.nic.in/isbeid/forest.htm for List of Wildlife sanctuaries in Kerala. But The place is well-known for its birds, mainly migratory birds. --Praveen:talk 14:54, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
