Census India 2001 called it Mavelikkara. Mavelikkara returns 33,500 results. Mavelikara returns 29,900 results. Mavelikara redirects here. So, should be okay. - Ganeshk (talk) 19:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Election Commission/Parliament records show it as Mavelikara. I doubt if any traffic/establishment sign boards ever use the double K. Railways use the single K. --Anoopramanujam 06:59, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • The coordinates in the geography section is off its actual location by atleast 20kms the coordinates 9.267° N 76.55° E is more near to the actual location (as in the locator map) and checked in google maps...the change has been done. activevoid 08:09, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
The coordinates at Mitchel Jn. are 9.2506°N and 76.5401°E. I have myself measured it using my GPS device (in WGS84 coordinates).--Anoopramanujam 06:59, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I think the idea coordinates here is to guide the user to the city and i do not think wikipedia would be made a source for accurate Lat long....Any way an accurate meaurement is always welcome.activevoid 13:16, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Mavelikara is a town. Changed city to town --Anoopramanujam 06:59, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Some of the links in here are just ads. And all external links need to be moved to that section. I would like to clean up. Anoopramanujam (talk) 09:49, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV Tag

I'm doing NPOV tag cleanup. Whenever an NPOV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tage was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.
