I'm not sure where the 85,000 figure came from - but the source linked as well as this source claim over 200,000 displacements now. — xaosflux Talk 17:59, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

As per this source, red alert has been withdrawn from all districts in Kerala, which renders the image related to red alert districts outdated.So I suggest it to be removed from the article (it could be replaced with another flood related data). -- A plane user ( talk) 11:41, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

The article says the total number of death is 350+. It is actually 200, per the latest news. What is the source of 350+ ? Lord Woldermort ( talk) 17:05, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

This page contains incorrect/stale information about the Indian states that have contributed to the relief effort. The up-to-date information is here:
TL;DR, The relief map is both incorrect and politically motivated. By now most Indian states including Madhya Pradesh, Chhatisgarh, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh have announced relief for the Kerala floods. The map depicts otherwise.
Please do not foment inter-state trouble. Remove the map. Dmohantyatgmail ( talk) 04:12, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Topic: What, if any, corrective actions should be taken on the relief map? (- Dmezh ( talk) 17:02, 20 August 2018 (UTC))
I believe this number in the lede has an extra comma that could be removed. -- 131.169.89.168 ( talk) 12:36, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Crores, Cr ( as well as Lakhs) will not fly. I request everyone to use million/billion or write the numbers in full. Also, Rs should be INR. Tharikrish 10:59, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
Why is the article only focusing on Kerala? Kodagu district in Karnataka has been equally affected by the same flood, causing 16 deaths with another 39 people missing. See [1]. But there is absolutely no mention of Kodagu anywhere in the article! 1.39.146.2 ( talk) 16:52, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
The first paragraph just says "bold text" (in bold). I think this was a mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.63.137.161 ( talk) 07:17, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
This is the permalink to the revision with "Bold text", in case anybody wants a reference. Sʀᴇᴇɴɪᴋᴇᴛʜᴀɴ I ( talk) 12:57, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
I think the final paragraph of the lead section should be removed from the lead and made into a separate section. This is because
A one-sentence summary may be enough in the lead. Jose Mathew ( talk) 13:29, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
I have changed the quality under WikiProject India (link at top of page) to C as I felt it satisfied the requirements. But since this is an ongoing event and there is no clarity on several key points (cause, extent of destruction, relief works, aftermath etc.) I do not think it would merit B. Can somebody please cross-check against the quality scale? Jose Mathew ( talk) 16:48, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
The main article mentions that the floods started in August, while the sidebar states that it started in July. Most of the news articles online about this subject have a publish date of August. I don't want to change the sidebar immediately without verifying it here in this talk page. Please let me know, thanks! Sʀᴇᴇɴɪᴋᴇᴛʜᴀɴ I ( talk) 13:30, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
@ Path slopu: You have not made a single edit to the article, but still nominated it for GA. That's not how it works. I have reverted your edit. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 06:46, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
