Maintaining the quality of the page

There have been quite a few edits recently, I just thought it might be helpful to highlight a few Wikipolicies. Wikipedia has three main policies, namely: verifiability, no original research and Point of View (POV).

1) Citations I have found (and subsequently edited out) the following:

• "The name Tamil Nadu was given amidst much opposition"
• "Vanniyar kula kshatriya's community(33% of Total population) is the most dominant caste and largest community in Tamilnadu."
• "Ramasamy padaiyachi who formed the first regional party[common wheel party] in tamilnadu and one more party formed by Manikavelu Naicker[toilers party]."

If you do not have citations from published and peer-reviewed sourced, your information will probably be regarded as original research and be quickly removed. Please check WP:OR for further information.

2) POV Wikipedia policy WP:POV ensures that neutrality is maintained. The following can obviously be contested and debated; so ensure more tentative wording.

• "...most dominant caste"
• "...took the Justice Party away from its original path"
• "a moribund existence under E.V.Ramaswamy"
• "(a poet who inspired the freedom movement by his poetic skills"
• "Industrialist, who managed ships under the free India banner"

3) Language

• A kind reminder that this an English language article. Sentences like "Vanniyar kula kshatriya" is not going to make sense to an average English speaker.

• Please use encyclopaedia terminology, for example 'tamilnadu' or 'Tamilnadu' is not acceptable. Kindly use Tamil Nadu.

Hope this helps!--தமிழ் வாழ்க; யாதும் ஊரே, யாவரும் கேளிர் 20:20, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Semi-Protection

Many vandal threats and poorly sourced text and picture inclusions are done by some IPs despite repeat warning. So I raise a proposal for semi-protection status for this page. --BabuOnWiki (talk) 13:05, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Agree - need to avoid frequent vandalism in the important page of WP Tamil Nadu. Ssriram mt (talk) 22:24, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Agree - I also agree for the above reasons. --தமிழ் வாழ்க; யாதும் ஊரே, யாவரும் கேளிர் 11:22, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Chola sections

How many of you think that the Chola section under Tamil Nadu page has too much of information for a brief note about the history of Tamil Nadu? I propose to abridge this section and move other useful information to the main page of Chola history. Thanks! Balaji.

Agree! Just read the comments above from GA Reviewer. This page must face a major clean up and submitted again for GA Review. --BabuOnWiki (talk) 05:54, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Merge of Mines of Tamil Nadu

I suggest the Mines of Tamil Nadu is merged into this article, as I don't believe it will be notable on it's own. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 15:09, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

CMC, Vellore

I see somebody, willingly removing references to CMC, Vellore and VIT, Vellore every time I add that. These two are rated among the top institutions in Tamilnadu and we should be proud to have them. Can the person who is removing the references come forward and give an explanation for the same.
