Comments

 * The old images should be tagged for their Indian copyright status as well. They have disclaimers at present.
 * I'm not sure how exactly needs to be done (I am not very familiar with images' copyright). Could you assist?? Kpddg  (talk)  14:24, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Review from Ovinus
Not sure of the processes for changing reviewers, but whatever, here goes. I'll probably be making tweaks as I read; feel free to revert ones with which you disagree. Ovinus (talk) 05:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

On first blush the article seems okay, but there is a fair amount of work to do.


 * "is known for its pleasant climate throughout the year" – Why is this in the first paragraph? Or is Bangalore really defined by its nice climate? What is Bangalore truly important for—culturally, economically, etc. Ovinus (talk) 05:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, it has one of the best weather in India. Though it is changing in recent years. So shall I remove it? <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  05:44, 11 June 2022 (UTC)


 * "The Begur inscription is written in Halegannada (ancient Kannada), and mentions 'Bengaluru Kalaga' (battle of Bengaluru). It was a significant turning point in the history of Bangalore as it bears the earliest reference to the name 'Bengaluru'." Too much detail; remove. Ovinus (talk) 05:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ here <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  05:24, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "accompanied by his second-in-command Shāhji Bhōnslé defeated Kempe Gowda III and Bangalore was given to Shāhji as a jagir (feudal estate) and the Mughals captured Bangalore from his son, Ekoji I and sold it to Chikkadevaraja Wodeyar (1673–1704), the then ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore for three lakh rupees." Too much detail; just name the main actors. Unless readers already know significant context for Indian history this will fly over their heads (incl. mine). The target of this article should be people who have basic familiarity with modern India. Ovinus (talk) 05:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ here <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  05:33, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "and remained the capital when the new Indian state of Karnataka was formed in 1956" Why would the capital change? Ovinus (talk) 05:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * This is because, when states were being formed and changed after independence, the capitals of various states had changed. <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  05:36, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "Bangalore is widely regarded as the "Silicon Valley of India" (or "IT capital of India")" Ah ha, something along these lines belongs in the first paragraph (and still in the fourth, in more detail). I like this paragraph. Ovinus (talk) 05:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅: Moved to first paragraph <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  05:41, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "A demographically diverse city" Can we be a bit more specific here? Is it diverse enough compared to other large Indian cities that it deserves mention? Ovinus (talk) 05:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅Removed here <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  05:47, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "with a population of over a million under the Ease of Living Index 2020" What is the Ease of Living Index? If someone is "under" it, does that mean they are living in bad or unacceptable conditions? This phrasing seems somewhat contradictory Ovinus (talk) 05:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * It is a tool that assesses the quality of life in a city. Do you want this to be removed from the lead? I have tweaked the sentence... <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  05:28, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "The government of Karnataka accepted the proposal and it was decided to officially implement the name change from 1 November 2006" – But you said later that it was renamed in 2014. Which is it? Ovinus (talk) 05:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The state government renamed it in 2006. The centre gave its approval in 2014. <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  05:29, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * History section just has too much detail. E.g., "Within the fort, the town was divided into smaller divisions—each called a "Pete" (Kannada pronunciation: [peːteː]). The town had two main streets—Chikkapeté Street, which ran east–west, and Doddapeté Street, which ran north–south." We can discuss what level is appropriate, of course, but it looks like a slog, esp. with all the names. Ovinus (talk) 05:09, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Is this fine? <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  05:51, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Was in a deletionist mood when I wrote that, sorry. Ovinus (talk) 02:50, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

@Ovinus, I have replied to all the comments raised... <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  05:55, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

 * I apologize; been pretty busy in real life. I promise I'll get to it by Friday evening. Ovinus (talk) 05:14, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  10:25, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Happy with your changes above. Continuing (am quite enjoying the article so far):


 * Put the actual Kannada names of "Bangalore" and "Bengaluru" in Etymology Ovinus (talk) 02:50, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ here. I've put the translation for Bengaluru only. Since in Kannada, Bangalore was usually not written, only Bengaluru. <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  12:49, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "many lakes have been polluted" – how much  and how badly is "many" Ovinus (talk) 02:50, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅: About 90% <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg   (talk)  12:40, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "The city government is making revival and conservation efforts" – maybe be a little more specific, or reword; feels flowery Ovinus (talk) 02:50, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Ovinus, I am not sure what exactly can be written in its place... <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  12:53, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hm, tried my hand at something more specific. Lmk if it's not to your liking Ovinus (talk) 08:01, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "wettest months are September, October and August, in that order" – decreasing or increasing order? Ovinus (talk) 02:50, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

A bit busy again, sorry—it's finals week. I'll get to finishing the review by Friday. :) Ovinus (talk) 16:29, 22 June 2022 (UTC) Continuing:
 * "As in the rest of the state, Kannada is the most widely spoken language, but English is a commonly spoken second language in the city." You just mentioned this above, so delete I think? Ovinus (talk) 08:01, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ here <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  09:44, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "to carry out low-profile jobs" Is the "low-profile" modifier here necessary or relevant? How about just "for business"? Ovinus (talk) 08:01, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ here <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  10:25, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "Other native communities are the Tuluvas and the Konkanis of coastal Karnataka, the Kodavas of the Kodagu district of Karnataka" – I don't really understand this sentence Ovinus (talk) 08:01, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Ovinus, is this better? Could you tell the exact problem...I didn't get it <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  13:21, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes looks great Ovinus (talk) 16:29, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Convert the "Important officials of Bangalore" table into prose—it's small enough. Ovinus (talk) 08:01, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

 * "In 2008, Bangalore produced around 2,500 metric tonnes of solid waste, and increased to 5000 metric tonnes in 2012" Only 2500 tonnes per year? check the figure; big US cities make millions of tons/tonnes annually Ovinus (talk) 08:01, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅: The previous figure was from 2008, I have updated it now <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  16:02, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * But now it says Bangalore generates about 3,000 tonnes of solid waste per day, of which about 1,500 tonnes are collected and sent to composting units ... as of 2022, Bangalore produces around 6000 metric tonnes of solid waste per day. which is self-contradictory. Keep the most recent figure only, and if you can add recent info about composting etc. then that belongs too, but always with an "as if" qualifier. Ovinus (talk) 16:22, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I forgot to remove it earlier...done now <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  10:31, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Ye, that's what I'd guessed; looks good Ovinus (talk) 16:29, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "The families living in the slum were not ready to move into the temporary shelters" – Yeah, I'm assuming the problem of abject poverty isn't going to be solved in an instant. Probably remove, or give more context on the shelter efforts Ovinus (talk) 08:01, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

 * I'll remove it, but the economy article does not have all of this info. Would it be okay to put the same content in that article? <span style="font-family:Segoe print; color:#FF8C00; text-shadow:skyblue 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; font-weight:bold">Kpddg  (talk)  10:43, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Final concerns:
 * Still a failed verification for Since India's independence, schools for young children (ages 16 months to 5 years) are called nurseries, kindergartens or play schools, and are broadly based on Montessori or multiple intelligence methodology of education. None of the sources afait contain the word "nurseries", "kindergartens", etc. and they don't say that schools are broadly based on xyz theory, but that some schools are (whichever schools they are writing about). might have something, but it's fairly obscure.
