Talk:Sriperumbudur

Guild of Copy Editors cleanup

I am handling the copy edit for this article. As I read through the article, I will make minor changes to it directly. I will list lots of other suggestions here on the "Talk" page. Feel free to comment on any suggestion or to ignore any suggestion.

You can also (slowly and carefully) make changes to the article based upon a suggestion while I am still copy editing (approximately 3-4 days to complete). --LukasMatt (talk) 22:41, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

The Fundamental Problem

This article has an identity crisis. Its title says "Sriperumbudur". The first sentence of its lead paragraph says "Sriperumbudur is a city". However, a large portion of the article concerns "Sriperumbudur taluk".

Unfortunately, an article about "Sriperumbudur taluk" already exists.

Somebody (an expert from the WikiProject India) needs to make a decision about the two articles "Sriperumbudur" and "Sriperumbudur taluk".

My suggestion:

• keep both articles
• move anything not directly related to the village "Sriperumbudur" from the "Sriperumbudur" article to the "Sriperumbudur taluk" article
• when the "Sriperumbudur taluk" article contains too much information about a specific village, create a new article about the village

Infobox

Suggestions for Infobox

For the "subdivision_name" parameter, why is the {{flagu}} template used? In the entire article, there is no direct wikilink to the article "India". Why not use {{flag}} instead? Problems with "population_total" and "population_as_of" parameters: Outdated. A census was conducted in 2011, but the Infobox shows the population in 2008 My research on the Internet found the population of Sriperumbudur to be approximately 20,000, not 200,000 [Note: A separate Wiki article exists for Sriperumbudur taluk.] "population_rank" parameter: According to http://www.citypopulation.de/php/india-tamilnadu.php?adm2id=3303, Sriperumbudur does not have a rank of 2 Problems with "website" parameter: the link does not work properly Even if the link worked properly, it only shows a map of villages in the Sriperumbudur taluk. This article is about the city of Sriperumbudur, which is only one village within the taluk. I suggest deleting the "website" parameter until a separate website exists for the city of Sriperumbudur.

Lead section

Suggestions for Lead section

Deleted just about 40 kilometres from the city, and offers all facilities that the international industrial giants want for their business to operate in the country Reasons: The distance to Chennai has already been stated in the lead section sounds like advertising Removed because the link in the citation is dead: It is believed that the doors of heaven will be open for those who die at Sriperumbudur.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.sriperumbuduronline.com/index-2.html|title = About Sriperumbudur }}</ref>

History

This article does not contain a "History" section. According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian cities#History, a "History" section is compulsory.

Economy

This section could discuss Bangalore Chennai Expressway.

Deletions from former "Industry" section

Removed this sentence The town is also regarded as India's answer to [[Shenzhen]], China, although it is not yet a SEZ. Reason: advertising Removed this URL because it is dead: [http://www.businessworld.in/content/view/962/1017/] Removed this sentence and its citation Every month, Sriperumbudur corridor is reported in the news for some new industrial projects. [http://paramprojects.com/sriperumbudur/news] Reasons: exaggeration and advertising the link is dead

Government and politics

Removed

<ref>{{cite web | url = http://archive.eci.gov.in/se2001/background/S22/TN_ACPC.pdf | title = List of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies | accessdate = 8 October 2008 | work = Tamil Nadu | publisher = Election Commission of India }}</ref>

Reason: It is outdated and not necessary because many wikilinks exist to support this section.

Demographics

Removed the entire section

{{As of|2001}} India census,<ref>{{GR|India}}</ref> Sriperumbudur had a population of 86,085. Males make up 50% of the population and females 50%. Sriperumbudur has an average literacy rate of 71%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 78%, and female literacy is 64%. In Sriperumbudur, 12% of the population is under 6 years of age.

Reasons:

• The most recent census was conducted in 2011. The Infobox has population figures from 2008. Therefore, the 2001 statistics in this section are outdated. (Before providing numbers for this section, see the "Talk" section above "The Fundamental Problem".)
• According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian cities#Demographics, the "Demographics" section is "Very Important", but not compulsory

Culture

Removed

It is believed that if a person drinks of Sri Ramanujacharya's milk as [[abhisheka]], all ailments will be cured. Followers of Sri Ramanuja, known as Sri Vaishnava, also believe that the worldly birth and death cycle can be overcome by letting an [[acharya]] or divine guide imprint the shamashrayana symbols ([[Panchajanya]])on the shoulders of the faithful.

Reason: While interesting, this article concerns Sriperumbudur primarily and, in this case, "Sri Adikesava Perumal Temple and the birthplace of Saint Ramanuja" secondarily. The removed information is better included in the article "Ramanuja" or the article "Vaishnavism".
