List of Indian districts
A great list of all Indian districts. Comprehensive and neat. Mostly User:Brhaspati's work (See: User:Brhaspati/indiadistricts. He hasn't made an edit since mid-May. I've only neatened and dab'ed this work. 600+ rows and 7 cols = 70+kb. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  13:27, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * Support - good work - but a few minor niggles. (i) The lead section needs a copyedit (I'll try myself when I have time)  (ii) Does the article need two lists of the states of India?  The key to the map could be merged with the big blue list in "Overview".  (iii) Shouldn't the number columns be left-justified, so they line up properly (compare Guntur and Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh)? (iv) Are there no relevant paper references - maps or Government documents? -- ALoan (Talk) 15:06, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your suggestions: 1) I've removed the extra list of the states. 2) I've left-justified the table. 3) I've included an official link 4) I've made some minor corrections in the lead. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  06:28, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, brain failure - I meant right jutified, so the least significant digits line up. -- ALoan (Talk) 11:00, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Right aligning; It will have to be done manually (!shudders!) I'm not sure if the piped table supports HTML which would save my energy. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  11:28, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)


 * Support - comprehensive. Wish we win back Brhaspathi from his real life ;) -- 03:45, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support pending print references. Also, why are there so many repeat links? If something has already been linked to in one section, normally it shouldn't be linked again. But good work all around. --Dmcdevit 07:54, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) I've added a print reference. 2) I've reduced the overlinking. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  09:18, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

 * Support, but some minor niggles: 1) Since the main part of the table is divided up by state, does the first column ("State") need to be there at all, as it will be identical throughout each section? 2) The "Density" column is apparently in km&sup2; - would that be better shown as /km&sup2;?

 * Scratch the second point - I've done it myself, as it was obviously right (and very quick to do). Didn't want to be too bold about the first without some feedback (and it'll take a lot of work). OpenToppedBus - Talk 10:18, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * I've seen one or two instances of the district code being written as IN.AN.NI for Nicobar Islands. This nominclature though, is not widely prevalent in India (PIN codes are used instead). It will take me a while to do this. Should it necessarily be removed? =Nichalp   «Talk»=  12:30, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily - I just wasn't sure it added much. But it's no big deal to leave it. OpenToppedBus - Talk 15:35, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, FWIW - it uses up a column unnecessarily (presumably there used to be a single table for all of the states, rather than tables with section headings). OTOH, it is hardly a fatal error.  -- ALoan (Talk) 15:51, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
