[edit] Spelling

do we use "Mysuru" or "Mysooru" as we do for Bengalooru? Bdeepu 07:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Officially, it is Mysuru as per this -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 08:32, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mention about name Mysuru becoming official

I believe, there needs to be a mention about official renaming of the city's name from Mysore to Mysuru. Right now, the article just says officially Mysuru in lead, and doesn't give any explanation later. We could take references used in Bangalore article I guess.

[edit] Lead

I think it would be appropriate to mention "Mysore is the third largest city in Karnataka in terms of population" in the first sentence rather than just saying "One of the largest cities in Karnataka". Here is the reference. Gnanapiti 17:32, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

It is actually the second largest, I have added that info with citation. -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 10:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nandi @ Chamundi betta

I have a couple of images of Nandi. Can/Do we fit one of these somewhere in the article? The Nandi, I believe actually underwent an elaborate ritual cleaning process and I think it really looks fresh and new :)

Sarvagnya 05:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Awesome pictures! One of these can be easily incorporated into the article. Thanks Sarvagnya, for these pictures. - KNM Talk 06:13, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Well, taking a fresh look at the article now, it didn't appear that easy to put in a new image, as all the sections are already equipped with the relevant good images. Only possibility is to consider replacing Chamundi Hills image with one of these Nandi images. Any comments / thoughts? - KNM Talk 06:19, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
"...as all the sections are already equipped with the relevant good images..." - :) that's precisely why I started this discussion. Or I'd have pushed them into the article by now :) .. Actually replacing the Chamundi hills image is not a bad idea because that image really doesnt show anything distinctive.. it could be any hill. right? Also this Nandi is part of the Chamundi hill and then we have the race course pic which is the view from chamundi hill. So Chamundi hills is embedded into all these by default. Sarvagnya 08:54, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
The only replaceable photo according to me is the Chamundi temple one in the Demographics section. Personally, I would prefer Chamundi Hills pic to be there because it is a "geographical icon" of Mysore visible from almost anywhere in the city :) -- ¿Amar៛Talk to me/My edits 09:56, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
hmm.. you do have a point. Sarvagnya 10:13, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] etymology

hindu mythology can not be history. There many other facts behind the name. --202.83.54.246 (talk) 08:01, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay. Please provide those other facts, sourced from reliable sources. - KNM Talk 16:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
