Talk:Vellore

Please avoid comparing the city size with other cities
Comparing the size is creating an unnecessary, un-healthy competition with people from other cities. Because of this people from other cities are trying to edit vellore page often. Why can't we avoid that.

Regarding the copy right issue by velloreonline
velloreonline.com/Economy.php

1) The content related to leather originally appeared in Economic times and then in http://vellore.nic.in/dic.htm. Please see the second para in the link. These guys in velloreonline had acutally copied many contents from Wiki and claiming the credit. I was the one who had posted the leather related data. At that time this webiste was not even there. If vellore online is claiming credit for the text, then this text can be found in the following links too.§

google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=9&ved=0CGIQFjAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroup.php%3Fgid%3D54110192252&ei=rzLiTuz1CYjc0QGA1unABQ&usg=AFQjCNEomEQQMSr3svsP7z0EcUC9v56kjg

I will be posting details of the other texts too, in the coming days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geico2000 (talk • contribs) 16:28, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

1.1) The lines in http://www.velloreonline.com/Economy.php says

''The city, along with its nearby industrial towns has witnessed a consistent industrial growth, followed by the implementation of South Asia's second railway track between Chennai Royapuram and Walajah. The Golden Quadrilateral road; has significantly improved the region's industrial activities.Vellore lies between the IT majors (Chennai & Bangalore) and major pilgrim centres (Tirupathi and Thiruvannamalai). Thousands of men and women from here travel to Chennai and nearby industrial towns everyday for work.''

and the lines in MSN Green Article says

Pollution score: 81.79/ 100

''The city, along with its nearby industrial towns has witnessed a consistent industrial growth, followed by the implementation of South Asia's second railway track between Chennai, Royapuram and Walajah. The Golden Quadrilateral road; has significantly improved the region's industrial activities. This city is a hub for leather industries, chemical industries as well as automobile and mechanical industries.''

The same text can also been seen in

www.indiacatalog.com/cityguide/vellore.html gsuryalss.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/top-20-polluted-cities-in-india/ www.indiacatalog.com/cityguide/vellore.html

and if you search the term "The city, along with its nearby industrial towns has witnessed a consistent industrial growth, followed by the implementation of South Asia's second railway track between Chennai Royapuram and Walajah." in google, wiki is your first answer from google. Basically all these website including velloreonline had copied from wiki and the smart a** velloreonline is trying to steal the credit for that. Shame on you velloreonline § — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geico2000 (talk • contribs) 18:46, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

1.3) Please do a google search for the sentence "tvs lucas has its major manufacturing facilities in sholingur 40 km from vellore" and see in how many place this has been used. The base for all these is Wiki and not velloreonline  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geico2000 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

2) The content in this page http://velloreonline.com/Geologicalinfo.php says

''Vellore district lies between 12° 15’ to 13° 15’ North latitudes and 78° 20’ to 79° 50’ East longitudes in Tamilnadu State. The geographical area of this district is 6077 sq. k.m.''

and the contents from this government http://vellore.nic.in/aboutvellore.htm website says the same

"Vellore district lies between 12° 15’ to 13° 15’ North latitudes and 78° 20’ to 79° 50’ East longitudes in Tamilnadu State. The geographical area of this district is 6077 sq. k.m. The total population as per 1991 Census is 30,26,432."

So here, who has copied from whom, Did the TN government copied from velloreonline? You cheap velloreonline.

3) Lets come to the history page in velloreonline which says

 "One of the monuments of Vellore is the fort and its exact date of construction could not be established, in the absence of proper records. A very close examination of the stone inscriptions suggests that the fort in all probability might have been built during the rule of Chinna. Bommi Nayak (1526 to 1595A. D) . The fort is one of the most perfect specimens of Military architecture in S.India."' '''

which is the same in http://vellore.nic.in/aboutvellore.htm

'' One of the monuments of Vellore is the Fort. '''A very close examination of the stone inscriptions suggests that the Fort in all probability might have been built during the rule of Chinna Bommi Nayak (1526 to 1595 A.D.). The Fort is one of the most perfect speciments of Military architecture in South India.'

In the same page velloreonline has

''The Jalakandeswarar Temple inside the fort is very fine example of Vijayanagar architecture. The Kalyanamantap, on the left of the entrance, with intricate caring and delicacy of exaction, bears testimony to the engineering marble and advanced state of sculpture of the times. Another land mark that has put Vellore on the center stage of Medical world is the Christian Medical College Hospital''

and the nic website has

''The Jalakandeswarar Temple inside the Fort is a very fine example of Vijayanagar architecture. The Kalyanamantap on the left of the entrance, with intricate carvings and delicacy of execution bears testimony to the engineering marvel and advanced state of sculpture of the times. Another landmark that has put Vellore on the Centre stage of Medical world is the Christian Medical College & Hospital.''

So who is copying here?

4) In velloreonline http://velloreonline.com/history.php under "The Role Of Vellore District in the freedom struggle" says

''The outstanding performance of this district in contributing to the Military service is Commendable, as more and more men have enlisted themselves to the Military service, to serve the nation with indomitable sprit and courage. The clock tower in the long Bazaar Vellore was built in 1920 A.D. A stone inscription in the building reads "Vellore - From this Village 277 men want to the Great war 1914-18,of them 14 gave up their lives ". This is a recorded testimony the Velour and Military prowess of this area.''

and in the official vellore website http://vellorecorp.tn.gov.in/abt_City.htm it says

''The outstanding performance of this district in contributing to the Military service is commendable, as more and more men have enlisted themselves to the Military service, to serve the nation indomitable spirit and courage. The clock tower in the long bazaar, Vellore was built in 1928 A.D.. A stone inscription in the building reads "VELLORE – FROM THIS VILLAGE 277 MEN WENT TO THE GREAT WAR 1914-18, OF THEM 14 GAVE UP THEIR LIVES" .This is a recorded testimony to the Vellore and Military prowess of men of this area.''

5) In velloreonline http://velloreonline.com/tour_otherplaces.php it says

''Amirthi Zoological park zooAmirthi Zoological Park is situated under the Javadu Hills of Tellai across Amirthi river which is 25 kms away from Vellore. It is also a tourist spot. This zoological park was started in October, 1967. The area of the park is 25 hectares and one can find beautiful water falls. There are also different kinds of birds and animals. Swings, Seesaw etc., are there for children to play. Numerous kinds of herbal plants and trees and sandal wood trees also grow here. There are 2 rest houses and five members can stay in one dormitory. There is a meditating hall where one can have full concentration and be in serenity. The inflow of tourists is more only during the holidays. This zoological park has been recognized recently and so the state Government has taken initiative to develop this area. The entrance fees is only Rs.2/- per head. The Government earns Rs.6000/- per month and Rs.72,000/- per year by this entrance fees. The tribal people reside in this area. There is a range office at Amirthi headed by the forest ranger. There is also a hill tribe society at Nimmiyambattu near Amirthi. The main aim is to give employment opportunities to the hill tribals in that area.''

and in http://vellore.nic.in/amirthi_zoological_park.htm it says

''Amirthi Zoological Park:

Interesting Article
I enjoyed reading this article; a member of another forum lives in Vellore so I was curious to find out where it is. The article is packed with information- always the most important aspect- and the layout is good as are the pictures. Obviously, the originator and subsequent contributors have put a lot of work into writing it. There are a few minor points though which are worth making:

1) It was not immediately clear from the opening paragraph what Vellore is. Is it a city or an administrate area or perhaps both? It would be useful if this was clarified.

2) The pictures are very good, except one which is maybe a touch prosaic: 'NH 46 Green Circle Junction (Central Bus Terminus) flyover in Vellore City'. There is nothing wrong with the picture per se, but a more interesting subject would be better. There should be no shortage of them judging by the article.

3) In general, the readability of the article could be improved. This is no big deal to do though (mind you, I wouldn't even be able to read a single word in Tamil). CPES (talk) 09:33, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Request while editing
While editing the Intro para about vellore city please dont put information on a single topic in detail. Since its a Intro section, it should provide information on everything from history, demographics,city, tourism, education and economy in brief. If anything to be written in detail please write it in the particular section in the page. Sayowais (talk)Owais 18:07, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
