This page is heavily unsourced
This page is heavily unreferenced and not sourced. seems like it has been written by someone based on his/her personal knowledge. such content goes against the principles of wikipedia. --Sushilbhandarkar (talk) 16:42, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Cleaned up
I moved the sentences around to form a paragraph and commented two portions. Firstly I commented out the Places to Visit section because not one of the places seems to have a proper link yet. If you find a relevant link for them, please feel free to uncomment the section. I also commented out Distances from other Indian cities for Mangalore and Mysore. The reason for that is that it is inappropriate for those distances to be included yet there is no measurement for the distance from Delhi. Again, if you find some verifiable data, please feel free to uncomment the two smaller cities. Green Giant 00:10, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Border issue

Unsourced information
"Karwar" is an important place but large amount of the information in this page is unsourced and essay like written. Reliable sources are to be added to the page. Further, the para regarding separate state demand is a little partisan and neutrality to be attained; the interview with a person is not of encyclopedic value; if there is a demand, it should be brief and neutral, sourced. Also distaces from different places looks a little odd in an encyclopedic article (ref other articles written on other cities of world). I would try to add sources and convert flowery sentances to ordinary sentances with encyclopedic view, which pl. cosider before feeling offended.Rayabhari (talk) 06:52, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Merge
I merged the page to Karwar. Please check.-- PATH SLOPU (Talk) 16:32, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the mess. I've reset Karwar back to a redirect to this article and have now asked for it to be deleted to make way for the move .—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 17:18, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Karwar, Karnataka was created by copy pasting the content of Karwar into a new article. since then both articles have grown in parallel. User:Thomas.W why do recommend a HIST MERGE here. ?-- D Big X ray ᗙ  19:36, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
 * If we copy paste stuff from here to Karwar, then we'll lose the history of all contributions since 2016. If we copy paste stuff from Karwar to here, then we'll lose the history of all contributions before 2016.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 07:31, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Cpt.a.haddock First of all The main article should be Karwar and Karwar, Karnataka should be redirected to Karwar and not vice versa. As I said above. Karwar, Karnataka was created in 2011 as an internal inside wikipedia copyright violation, by copying content from Karwar (created in 2006) into a new article on Karwar, Karnataka. That was the only major edit and after that only minor maintenance edits and corrections have been done and these edits have been done to both articles. So I am not sure if HIST MERGE of this copyvio is the right thing to do. let me ask admins on this-- D Big X ray ᗙ  10:24, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Ping HISTMERGE admins User:Fram and User:Anthony Appleyard to know their view if HIST Merge is necessary and do it if they feel the need to do so. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  10:24, 15 September 2018 (UTC)


 * If a page is text-split into 2 pages, or 2 pages are text-merged into one, a break in edit history cannot be avoided. That is why I put a history note in here. Text-merging is not the same as history-merging. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:30, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Anthony, thanks a lot for your kind reply. Please note that this was not a case of text-split between 2 articles but Text-duplicated into 2 duplicate articles without any attribution into the 2 articles. and after duplication some amount of maintenance edits went into both of them. So according to you, is the TEXT MERGE that is already done is enough and no further actions needed  or we should request for a HIST MERGE ? -- D Big X ray ᗙ  11:42, 15 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Sorry :: pages Karwar, Karnataka and Karwar both have long edit histories, which are very WP:Parallel histories. History-merging them would shuffle the parallel editing histories together in one list and make a mess. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:16, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your valuable help. PATH SLOPU (Talk) 12:19, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅ That was exactly my opinion which is why I had suggested a text merge to Path slopu. I hope Anthony's reply clarifies the doubt of Cpt.a.haddock and User:Thomas.W who had opposed a text merge here in past. -- D Big X ray ᗙ  12:22, 15 September 2018 (UTC)


 * And see User talk:DBigXray. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:39, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
