Which way of spelling is correct, Viluppuram or Villuppuram? - Mirage5000 09:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Using the highly respected hits on Google method, I found that Villupuram got 334000 hits while Viluppuram got 32000. But the city's official site says Viluppuram, so I'm not sure. Can anyone clarify this? Damanmundine1 14:52, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to move this to Viluppuram (city) because there are two distinct articles - Viluppuram the district and Viluppuram the town. I will create a disambig page as well. Damanmundine1 08:57, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

Sorry, I've made a mess of the links here. Can somebody fix up the talk page so it's for the disambiguation, not the city? At the moment, if somebody goes to the disambig page, then the talk page, then back, they end up at the Viluppuram (city) article. Damanmundine1 13:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC) Fixed.

[edit] Viluppuram (city) vs Viluppuram (town)

Sorry for the cut and pasting instead of using the move feature.

  • Regarding this article Viluppuram (city), the place should never be defined as a city. City "definition" will contribute confusion among readers. By the way a "town" is larger than a village and smaller than a city.
  • In general local officials and general public always call this place as Viluppuram town. I honestly believe that this information should not be censored.

I've had a read through Wikipedia's naming convention for places. It sounds to me as though we should perhaps rename the article as Viluppuram, Tamil Nadu. This would make it similar to the various Springfields. What do you think? I am not familiar with Indian geography. Would this be an appropriate way to refer to this town?
