I am giving you this Barnstar for your excellent and brilliant work in Wikipedia in the Kerala esp. Trivandrum related topics.

Sameel beat me to your barnstar. :(
I wasnt able to participate in any of the peer reviews. There are some problems with the article that needs to be addressed on a war-footing now, as it is in FAC. I feel guilty of pointing these out at this crucial hour. But please take care of them. The "demographics" section is too short, and needs development. The etymology section needs references. There is no article on the
Ay kingdom. While the history section has no pictures, the transport section has too many. While in FAC, people may accuse you of writing only good things about the city. You need to add more negative details like traffic congestion, sex trade, smuggling, etc. All the places and names of buildings and airport (in short ALL proper nouns) should be wikilinked (internal linking). Also take care to see that they are wiki-linked only once, during their first appearence in the article. There should, ideally, be no references in the
lead section. The lead section also needs to be expanded to atleast three paragraphs per
WP:LEAD, considering the article's size. There is some sentences that
praise the city a bit too much. Also, for help on copyediting, see
Tony's copyediting guide.--

Congrats for getting Thiruvananthapuram article nominated for Featured Status. Great work Rajith.
Under Economy subheading, its mentioned that Thejaswini is to be completed by October 2006 and 400,000 ft² TCS Peepul Park by May 2006 which it seems is wrong. Try to update with right deadlines.
Btw ,I am Subin. -- NewAltruist 05:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Raith, this is not a revert war; this is a content dispute. pls see my discussion in culutre page.If you want to build consensus, then the edit in question has to be deleted and only reinstated only after the discussion; & not the other way around; So pls revert it to previous version-Regards- Bharatveer 07:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if those late comments created too much trouble. What happened was that I had removed most of the Kerala articles from my watchlist as I am concentrating in some other sections, and hadn't noticed the FAC. I noticed it only because of an interesting comment that appeared in Deepu's page last Friday. Tintin ( talk) 08:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
As per your request on my talk page, the article for Trivandrum International Airport has been renamed and updated to show the correct name, with a reference its official AAI page. Thanks for the information. Zyxw 13:31, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
From one of your edit summary on the Thiruvananthapuram page I guess you modified the IPA transcript for the name Thiruvananthapuram. Please note that the audible pronunciation and IPA transcript do not correspond in this case. As I leave this message, the IPA transcript is /tĭr'ūvənŭn'təpur'əm/. The audible pronunciation has two sounds approximate to /θ/. Although /θ/ doesn't precisely render the relevant Malayalam phoneme, it could serve as a broad transcription as explained on Wikipedia:Manual of Style (pronunciation) page. Substitution of /t/ with /θ/ is not correct. Further the occurrence of /ŭ/ in the transcription is patently wrong. It should be /ʌ̟/. The I-breve in the first syllable is also unncessary, I feel. I don't need to say that stress marks are given at ridiculously wrong places. I can correct it, if you have no objection. Kundan After Sundown 14:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
I think you did a good work, but the article fell short as you didn't have much experience. The article is lacking, but not much. As I said in the SAC, it is a good copyedit and a couple of citations away from getting selected. FAC is still a far cry, but we give critical reviews early so that once the things start rolling, it eventually become a featured article. I will give a suggestion. Work on one problem at a time. This will make you end up with great results without stressing too much. Try asking for help from other editors. I can only help after a week as I will be out-of-station. — Ambuj Saxena ( talk) 16:40, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello. There are some basic problems with the article. 2 main issues - 1) the article needs to be toned down a bit to make it neutral and 2) references need to be checked more rigorously. Besides that, the prose can be improved. To start with, I would like to ask you to take a look at Ahmedabad, Kolkatta or Kochi (India). All these are already FAs and the article should reach that level of detail. Take a look at guidelines given at Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Cities. The Strategic Importance needs to go. Whatever information is in it needs to be distributed over other sections.
So starting with the lead - There are a lot of examples of unknowingly including text which glorifies the city, and hence makes the article un-encyclopedic. Examples of such text are "lovely beach side city", "political nerve centre", "major academic hub", "premier educational institutions", "first Information technology park of its kind", "home to many of the world's leading technology companies". Now this is just the lead. The lead must be worked upon. Try and do it yourself. If not, then I will help you do it. I am sort of busy till monday, after which I can devote time to the article. - Aksi_great ( talk) 18:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. Nice work with the lead. You need to add references to 2 sentences. First, for the Mahatma Gandhi quote, and 2nd for the "first of its kind" sentence. I hope you know how to add references. I usually use footnotes. It would also be nice if you could create an stub on Kazhakoottam. Moving on to the origin of name - again there are no sources. You may find some news sources on the net about the name change in english from trivandrum. The last sentence needs references, else it should be removed. - Aksi_great ( talk) 09:29, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Rajith, Thanks for your help and guidelines. Infact, I was very overzelous modifying these pages.
Regards, Paddy

Can you help on this, Thanks,

Got it.. Thanks for your help
Paddyiyer 19:59, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for pointing it out. I will surely make the changes. What the page currently needs is some pics, am in the process of searching for it. Any help is welcome.
BTW good work on Thiruvananthapuram.
