This stub got it all wrong!

There were two distinct persons - the writer Pudhumaippithan and the poet and song-writer Pulamaippithan. This stub is titled "Pulamaippithan" but talks about "Pudhumaippithan"! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.197.248.97 (talk) 07:39, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are thoroughly confused. This article is about Pulamaippithan and not Pudhumaippithan. I dont know on what basis you have made this comment. Even all the three references is also about Pulavar Pulamaippithan. You can verify yourself. Balaji (Let's talk) 14:20, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit What?

I just created an account on Wikipedia. It gave me several suggestions of articles that needed grammar editing, and this was one of them. There isn't much here, but I don't think that there's any problem with the grammar or anything that needs be edited. I don't think that stub articles shouldn't be tagged for grammar, 19 times out of 20-- if there's nothing to edit, why edit. If there's not much to edit, why play the editor.

I also wonder about the wisdom of asking people to edit grammar if they don't know anything about the subject-- it implies the whole thing is an idiot machine, if you know what I mean.

Also, I think that the user template of this screen is a little difficult-- I'm not sure that this head-line text or whatever is going to be displayed right. Editing my LibraryThing userpage was simpler. Obviously this is different in being more social than a personal page, but I don't see why the interface has to be difficult.

But if we could take down the flag on the top of the page that I don't think ought to be there, that would be a great start, anyway. --Kwiataprilensis (talk) 20:38, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I looked up information about the office holders in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Council and found that the presiding officer was called "Chairman" at the relevant time, so Pulamaipithan's proper title would have been capitalised as "Deputy Chairman". I searched for the Tamil phrase "Arasavi Kavingar" but was redirected by Google to "Arasavai Kavignar", which listed a number of news articles about e.g. other poet laureates of Tamil Nadu. The only links to "Arasavi Kavingar" appeared to be articles quoting this Wikipedia article (with one exception). The spelling "Arasavai Kavignar" also had rather more links in Google, from more diverse sources. I added the explanation "poet laureate" to help non-Tamil readers and linked to the relevant article, as it mentions India and (in particular) another poet laureate of Tamil Nadu. I also expanded the abbreviated name MGR in line with the main article on that person. --IAKenny (talk) 07:00, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
