I think that the subheading "Surveyors Became Landowners" is not an appropriate subheading, as its word usage is strange. The purpose of a subheading is to be broad, and not elaborate on what is being talked about; that is what the text under it is supposed to do. I cannot think of any alternatives that would surpass the current heading in detail, but I think that this information should go under the individuals' pages (e.g. the land claims by the Chamrettes should go under their page and the claim by G. Everest go under his page). Vince 22:15, 14 January 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinceouca ( talk • contribs)
It seems that in the sources, the survey is referred to as the "Great Trigonometrical Survey of India" more often than "Great Trigonometric Survey of India," "Great Trigonometrical Survey" (without "of India"), or "Great Trigonometric Survey" (without "of India"), the last being the current title. Besides, a few references to "Great Trigonometric Survey" are not to India at all. Here are the results of Google Books and Google Scholar binary searches (in which, "-" means "not including"). I have not included plain old Google web searches because many of the links there are not reliable, though the results there too are proportionally the same:
It would seem, therefore, that the name of the article should really be "Great Trigonometrical Survey of India." I'd like to hear from other editors, both those who have edited the article and those who have not. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 14:33, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Great Trigonometrical Survey. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
