We need to include some information about the Nilgiri Railways... probably something similar to what is present in the Coonoor page. --Madhu 14:50, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The author of this article has forgotten to mention that part of the Nilgiris district/mountain range is in Karnataka (not only Tamil Nadu and Kerala).

Fair use rationale for Image:Tnlogo.png[edit]

Image:Tnlogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Eucalyptus globulosum[edit]

Oh the power of Wikipedia. There is no such species as Eucalyptus globulosum, yet Google comes up with 25 hits all linking back to the one misspelling on this page! Wow, what power Wikipedia has. The caption printed on the image spells it correctly. Apparently the first author of the caption in the Wikipedia article spelled it incorrectly. The correct spelling is Eucalyptus globulus, which I corrected in the caption in the article. Nick Beeson (talk) 14:12, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 4 May 2020[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The Nilgiris district → Nilgiris district – As per, WP:CONSISTENT with all other articles of the districts in India. Superlatives Definite article is not used, similar to the page Nilgiris (Lok Sabha constituency). Superlatives Definite article is not used in other places names too i.e. The Philippines, The Maldives etc. Hemant DabralTalk 03:14, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support per nom and WP:NCTHE. (Though I think you mean "definite articles", not "superlatives".) Should "district" be capitalized? (See my comments under your other submissions.) — the Man in Question (in question) 05:16, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
the Man in Question, I have no problem if you could move or get help in moving 680+ district articles with lower case "district" title to upper case "District" title. Reason i've listed these three pages for the move (Baramati District, Sri Ganganagar District and Tengnoupal District) because these are the only three district articles having upper case "District" title and it looked odd to me in comparison with other 680+ district articles having lower case "district" titles. Although, moving more than 680 articles to upper case "District" would be harder than moving these three articles to lower case "district" for practical reason. By the way thanks for the correction in my comment above. Hemant DabralTalk 11:37, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would happily do that, but we should probably make it a discussion somewhere more visible before simply going forward with it. — the Man in Question (in question) 05:51, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Talk:List of districts in India would be a good place to start the discussion. Hemant DabralTalk 08:14, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be a good discussion to have, especially when you consider the inconsistencies already prevailing on existing articles (a mixture of "NAME district is..", "NAME District is.." and "NAME is a district.."). Keep this discussion just for what was originally nominated and have the wider discussion somewhere central, as suggested. Bungle (talk • contribs) 09:31, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the note I wrote at Talk:Baramati District#Requested move 4 May 2020, which I'm moving here since it's relevant to this discussion: "I would think […] that all the lowercase 'district' names should be capitalized. If this is its proper name, then in English it should be capitalized (like 'New York State' or 'Czech Republic'). If this is instead a general description (like 'Great Lakes region') then it should be in lowercase. Compare for example all the articles under these categories: C:Districts of Bangladesh, C:Districts of Ghana, C:Districts of Azerbaijan, C:Districts of Brunei, C:Districts of Afghanistan, C:Districts of Cambodia, and many more—where 'District' is always capitalized. Also, take a look at the discussion going on right now about 'Seoul station'." — the Man in Question (in question) 19:20, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The current discussion at Talk:Pyongyang Station#Requested move 5 May 2020 (which covers a large number of articles) also seems relevant (though not identical). — the Man in Question (in question) 19:20, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support move and keep district lowercase, as per other articles. Bungle (talk • contribs) 15:44, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Since you say "as per other articles", I would appreciate your input on the issue I identified at Talk:Baramati District#Requested move 4 May 2020 and similar articles listed by the requester. — the Man in Question (in question) 18:06, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    It's a fair question and one that does probably need to be considered on a wider scale. The nature of this rename debate was around the prefixed "the", however the consideration surrounding whether district should be lower or uppercase would affect many articles and I think should be a separate discussion. In the case of the article Pune district, this states the place-name as "Pune" and that it is a district, rather than this forming part of its name. Another example you gave in the other debate was New York State, yet the wikipedia article for this has "State" in parenthesis. I don't understand enough about the geography of these regions to have a conclusive belief either way - it should be understood and perhaps separately discussed how these are officially named/known to decide if the "district" is lower, upper, in parenthesis or not part of the name at all. As per nom, WP:CONSISTENT would say it should be lowercase as things stand right now. Bungle (talk • contribs) 18:43, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:55, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose see Talk:List of districts in India#Outstanding RMs. Andrewa (talk) 03:29, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Andrewa: It's worth noting that this move request is only considering the prefix of "the", rather than the capitalisation of "district", and so opposing means you support retaining the prefix? It seems clear there should be a wider discussion on the "district" element, though this move request is not suggesting a change to the current one associated with this article. Bungle (talk • contribs) 21:28, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, my opposition is that any move to the affected articles is premature. If it were to be clearly understood that this move isn't about (for example) the case of district, and purely about removing the article, then the move would do no great harm. But that isn't clear at all above. It could be argued both ways exactly what this RM is deciding. So the simplest thing is to be clear on the final result for all affected articles before moving any of them, and then (as I have been saying) do a multi-move to fix all those affected.
