Kollam is a real city, not mythical Palombe

Palombe, an imaginary city from early modern European myth, redirects here, and it should not. This article claims without evidence that Palombe was identified with Kollam. Maybe it was, but if so, it was also identified with other places, including an island in the Bahamas. It is presumptuous to claim that Kollam is the only place on earth ever to be identified with Palombe. — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 16:26, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a mess.

Not to be disparaging, but it pains me how poor of a quality this article is at the moment. Kollam/Quilon deserves better than all the poor/misleading citation, contradictory information and confusing formatting you guys. I made this edit revamping the introductory paragraph, and I'd appreciate any feedback you have for me.

I plan to refurbish the rest of this article over the coming days, so leave a message on my talk page if you have see anything that really needs a fix! Luna Netto (talk) 09:11, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
