Chettimedu
[edit]Could someone from WP:INDIA take a look at Chettimedu? A question about the article was asked at WP:THQ#Not sure if I should PROD this article or not, and I tired to do aome minor cleanup. Someone more familiar with articles about Indian villages, however, might be able to do much more and possibly even find some sources. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:42, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

- The title is incorrect, the village is actually called Jogalakasti. It is on the Google maps at 13.0879176, 78.4068824 and Google books does have some results for it in various censuses and lists [1] - Ratnahastin (talk) 03:59, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Reverting the FAQ on Adam's Bridge
[edit]Hi, I am just an editor to many people, but I have an issue to talk about and it involves Adam's bridge. I know many things I will say are stuff you have heard a million times before, but for just three reasons, I will tell you why Ram's or even just God's bridge is a must better name for the article
1: The etymology lists that the christian missionaries around 1030 gave rise to the name Adam's bridge and that the much older Ramayana, which was dated about 2000 years older gave the ram Rama's Setu or Rama's bridge. And that the therevada and vaishanivite populations of the Tamizh and Celyonese also use Rama's Bridge. So, an older, first seen, popular and reliable name for the majorities that live near, take care of (not to mention OFFICIAL GOVERNMENTAL NAMES of the countries involved) the bridge is not put into account. This has literally no defense.
2: Bureaucracy. If you can't beat them with logic, beat them using confusing bureaucratic procedures to force them into submission. WP:AT and WP:PLACE are the properly used procedures for the naming. The main procedural policies is to use names that are used in reliable English conversations often mentioning the topic. WP:SPELLING. A main tenet of WP:SPELLING is that the Centres for Disease Control is redirected to Centers for Disease Control for the purpose that it refers to the country that uses Center in its English spelling. But the Labor Party of the UK changes to the Labour party as per British English Rules. Therefore, for the Ram Setu, if we were to translate to Ram's Bridge, then wouldn't it be a paradox in of itself and same for Adam's Bridge? Because the preferred name in Indian English is Ram's Bridge but it somehow violates title conventions and vice versa? Well, actually no. Because the NY Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/03/world/asia/india-sri-lanka-rama-bridge.html), Indian Express (https://indianexpress.com/article/research/why-the-ram-setu-debate-has-ignored-both-mythology-and-environment-8222105/), and the Official Gov. of Tamizh Nadu (the state where the bridge lies) (https://www.tamilnadutourism.tn.gov.in/destinations/ram-sethu-bridge) all "reliable sources" used by multiple Wikipedian sources and I believe the Deccan Hearald and the Wire as well. You may argue that these are all Indian sources and are biased but WP:SPELLING again. Also, the exact thing is entirely also a violation. It's a WP:WEASEL. Who? Which reliable sources call this bridge Adam's Bridge. Sure, there may be many, but none were cited so in of itself it is a WP:WEASEL.
3: WP:NPOV. Wikipedia's main goal is to provide a NPOV for all articles and let me give you one connecting to WP:SPELLING. If you say centre in the UK, there is no violation of NPOV because it is the accepted and widespread spelling there. It's fine if you want to use center in talk pages, WikiProject, CVU discussions etc but you can't change articles, that's forcing your own opinion against a regular NPOV accepted name. As stated in #1 and WP:SPELLING, accepted naming conventions in a nation bordering the areas are always Rama's Bridge in English, and any attempts to discredit it in favor of Adam's Bridge is like the centre-center thing. Please leave Indian English to allow them to name using their naming conventions. 2601:600:8D82:6200:F3:8C34:F3FD:F93A (talk) 06:31, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
