Colleges

Is the information about GATECH setting op its campus in Vizag true???

yes its false

Population?

What is "19 lakhs" in English? The population should be a standard English number since this is the English language Wikipedia. Jaguara 21:16, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

A Lakh is 100,000, which means that this article seems to contradict itself. Is the population 1,900,000, or 1,329,472? Narge 14:57, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I want to let the authors of the page know that the population figures for Visakhapatnam are highly exaggerated. Even the census website (referred for 2001 ) or World Gazetteer(referred for 2007) don't show the population that high. Obviously the wiki info posted in the Indian city population is also wrong. As rest of the info is very informative and accurate, I appreciate if the authors correct the population figures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Apman123 (talk • contribs) 16:17, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Schools have been removed

I removed an unreferenced list of schools from the article. Some seemed suspiciously like advertising attempts, like 'dance school' at the end of the list. For the rest, there was no reason for notability (except for Aloysius), no reference to back up importance, no wiki article (except for timpany). That leaves only 2 of them on the list, until there is a reason to put them back.

The list is:

- * Hindustan Zinc Smeleter Senior secondary High School.
- * ABS Public School Aganampudi   
- * BHPV English/Telugu Medium School.   
- * Mindi Zilla Parishat High School.   
- * St.Peter's Elementary School, Gnanapuram   
- * St.Peter's High School, Gnanapuram   
- * Jassver English Medium School, Lawsons Bay Colony   
- * Seventh Day Adventist High School, Jagadamba Center   
- * Kotak Salesian School, Waltair   
- * Sacred Heart's High School   
- * St. John's Parish High School, Old Post Office   
- * Ramanath Secondary School, NSTL, NAD Kotha Road   
- * St. Aloysius Anglo-Indian High School, Old Post Office
- * Fort Catholic Girl's High School, Old Post Office   
- * Sri Satya Sai Vidhya Vihar, MVP Colony   
- * [[SFS School, Seethammadhara]][http://www.sfs-school-vizag.org/]   
- * St. Ann's High School   
- * St. Anthony's High School   
- * St. Joseph's High School & Junior College

- * Visakha Tutorial College, Sriharipuram   
- * Visvodaya High School, Meghadripeta colony, Inside Defence    
- * Vasistha Vidhya Bhavan High school,seethmmadhara   
- Civilian Quaters.   
- * M.V.P Public School   
- * [[Sri TVS Rao Sri Krishna Vidya Mandir]]   
- * St.Anthony's High School   
- * Nehru Muncipal Corporation High School(NMCH)   
- * Olivet school,krishnanagar   
- * Little Angels High School, MVP Colony   
- * SFS school madhurawada*   
- * Belmont Schools Narasimhanagar & Madhavadhara   
- * Kendriya Vidyalaya Malkapuram   
- * National Tutorial College, Akkayyapalem, Visakhapatnam   
- * Perira English Nobel School(Also known as PEN School)   
- * port high school   
- * chaitanya residential school,ukkunagaram   
- * bharath dance school,parawada

I dont know why some famous schools such as Visakha Valley and BHPV school are removed from the list.

I removed all high schools listed. looks like they were listed for publicity and individual interests. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nballa (talk • contribs) 17:20, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add the list of schools back again. there are hundreds of schools in Vizag and all of them are important in their own right. try to keep the page as clean as possible. and try improving the education section if possible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nballa (talk • contribs) 16:02, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

i agree all the schools are important, and also that the list is unnecessary. but there is nothing on education. the city was known for its excellent education facilities... so if someone can add a bit without POV/adverts should help improve the article. Elncid (talk) 17:00, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Hospitals' list cleaned up

-Apollo Heart Centre

-Care Hospital (Cardiac Centre)

Are the names of two cardiac centres rqd? Which of the two is more important?
-VisionCare Centre (Super Speciality Eye Hospital)

-Sankar Foundation Eye Hospital

How many eye hospitals are needed in the article?
-Krishna Hospital (Women's Hospital)

Is it neccessary to note that it is a women's hospital?
-Krishna IVF Clinic

Are clinics notable? A clinic near my house is a two-room affair. Does that give it a spot on Wikipedia?
-Kala Hospitals

What is this notable for?

-King George Hospital (Medical College Hospital affiliated to Andhra Medical College)

This seems to be the only one with some reason to be mentioned (affliation)

-Padmaja Hospital

-Seven Hills Hospital

What are these known for?

-MVP Colony Hospital

Colony hospital? Is there any reason for this to be here?

-Victoria Government Hospital (Government Women's Hospital)

Does being a government hospital make it notable?

-St. Joseph's Hospital (Also known as American Hospital)

Is being called the American hospital its only claim to fame?

People, there has to be a reason why we are putting up such a massive list. I am sure there are some editors taking care of this page. Until they drop by and offer their views on this, this list is moved from the main page.

xCentaur |  talk  19:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know why did some one remove these two schools from the list, they are very old and top rated schools in Vizag. - * St.Peter's Elementary School, Gnanapuram - * St.Peter's High School, Gnanapuram —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.151.21.105 (talk) 19:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC) They are added back to the list. See properly

Population figures?

I just noticed that the population stated was 18,000,000.

That does not sound right. The state capital has 1/3 of that number. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.57.90 (talk) 01:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Tourism

i removed the entire section of vizag tourism and created a seperate wiki for it. just provided a summary and created a main article link.

removed the entire tourism section. too many images. and too much unrelevant information. create a seperate section for tourism in vizag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nballa (talk • contribs) 16:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup

This article needs a lot of work...

1. The grammar is poor in many sentences
2. A lot of content is POV and advertising
3. Needs reliable sources
4. The Tourism section has too many photos; they are are cluttering up the page Copana2002 (talk) 20:13, 29 December 2008 (UTC) -- i removed the entire tourism section. it is not relevant to the city and cluttering up the entire page with too many pictures. someone is adding it back in. i think this article needs to be locked to prevent future edits by over enthusiastic picture posters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nballa (talk • contribs) 21:00, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

The images in the article need to be organised, and put on one side. Alternating between left and right leads to a lot of clutter. Aveek (talk) 05:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

File:Vizagbeach.jpg may be deleted

I have tagged File:Vizagbeach.jpg, which is in use in this article for deletion because it does not have a copyright tag. If a copyright tag is not added within seven days the image will be deleted. --Chris 07:15, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

visakhapatnam is my favorite city —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.101.165.22 (talk) 08:15, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Content for removal

A lot of content has no place in this article. I just did a big clean up. I would be grateful if someone would remove the vast amount of promotional content. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:18, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I did a lot more clean up. Now there is a section entitled "The city". I'm not sure how that should be, or what subsections it should contain. Somebody familiar with the area might be able to straighten in out. Thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:56, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Also, I intend on de-redlinking a lot of those companies. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:57, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Spelling mistake in the caption of an image

In the Economy section of the Visakhapatnam page, an image that has an caption "Megadri River Channel that connects Outer Harour of Visakhapatnam Port with Inner Harbour, In the above caption, Harour has to be replaced with harbour thanks & regards Trivikram

Notable residents

The last name in the Notable residents section is "Srikanth boorela" , which I guess is not that notable in Visakhapatnam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.93.119.100 (talk) 11:20, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
