In the article on International Film Festival of India(IFFI) under History it's written"From 3rd edition in Jan.1965,IFFI became competitive"(It may be true-but) "It was since then moved to Trivandrum, capital city of Kerala."-which is a factual error. IFFI never had its centre in Trivandrum, to the best of my knowledge, as a cineaste born and brought up in Kerala.It had been in New-Delhi. '"In 1975, 'Filmostsav'non-competitive and to be held in other film making cities in alternative years was introduced" This may be historically correct -although I'm not sure of the year as I'm no historian. But I remember 'Filmotsav's held in Trivandrum twice, at least. "Later, 'Filmotsavs' merged with IFFI." That's a factual error-as 'Filmotsavs'were a part of IFFI organized by the same Film Festival Directorate of India-a central Govt. supported office in co-operation with the State Govts. of different Indian states-of which Kerala is one. Ïn 2004 IFFI moved to Goa from Trivandrum" Yes it did move to Goa but not from Trivandrum but from New-Delhi. And, Trivandrum has been the center of a prestigious film festival called the IFFK(International Film Festival of Kerala)since many years before 2004.

Do verify with the Film Festival Directorate of India, New-Delhi and make the necessary corrections. Of course these may not be such big errors but it'll be better for a global knowledge base like Wikipedia to be as much as possible accurate. So, these suggestions.
