Talk:Tamil Nadu

Food

 * MEAT MADRAS- This is a spicy but delicious curry is named after Chennai, the metropolis in southern India perhaps because in the humid south, people rather eat hot food. Strange though it may seem, this is because hot and spicy food makes one perspire thereby cooling the body.

Ingredients: 6 tbsp cooking oil 2 medium-sized onions, coarsely chopped 1 inch cube of ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped 3-4 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped 4-6 dried red chillies 1-2 fresh green chillies, sliced lengthwise 6-8 medium tomatoes chopped 3 tsp coriander powder

 * PLAIN IDLIS- Plain Idlis are similar to rice cakes, but they are eaten with a coconut side dish made out of beaten coconut white mixed with a little spice. Its called Coconut (Thenga in Tamil) Chutney. Also typically served are Tomato chutney (the difference is here tomato pulp is used) and Dal sambar. The Idlis are served steaming hot. They are meant to be eaten with hand.

The extra ingredients added are whole husked blackgram, Oil, Melted ghee, Whole black pepper, Cumin seeds and Fresh thick curd. These Idlis are a little oily compared to the normal ones. The sides are usually the same.
 * KANCHEEPURAM IDLIS- Kancheepuram Idlis are hot and spicy. These differ from the normal Idlis due to the extra ingredients added usually to make it a little more spicy.

Rice - 1 cup Thick milk - 10 cups Sugar - 1 cup Cardamom powder - little Cashewnuts - 1 tbls thinly sliced Ghee - for frying
 * PAL PAYASAM OR RICE PUDDING- This is a sweet dish made from rice and thich milk. The Ingredient used are as follows.

Dosas again come in a variety of forms and sizes. A dosa with potato curry stuffed inside becomes a Masala Dosa. A Dosa made from Rice flour and Fine semolina (Rawa) becomes a Rawa Dosa. Dosas like Idlis are usually eaten with Coconut chutney, Tomato chutner and sambar.
 * DOSA- This is Indias answer to the French Crepes (french dish very similar to dosa), though the answer could arguably have been given much before the question was asked. It is made from rice flour. Rice flour is mixed with an optimum level of water. Finding the optimum level is an art which most of the Indian women are born with. As too much or too less can make your Dosa non-appetizing.

Too many cities?
I reckon there's too many cities here. Someone in the know is gonna have to chop some out, or better still, create a few sub-regions. (WT-en) Tim 23:40, 17 August 2006 (EDT)
 * We need to split the city into regions. Any suggestions. Please let me know on your talk page. (WT-en) Upamanyuwikivoyage 07:51, 1 March 2007 (EST)

 * I was actually thinking of pruning the whole article. There are lots of typos and mis-organisation in the Festivals too. Just give me 2 days time. Am tied a wee bit up now. (WT-en) Yogi

 * Yes, pruning this and creating regions would both be fine ideas. I do not know the area well enough to do much of either. Volunteers? (WT-en) Pashley 22:19, 29 December 2009 (EST)

 * There are too many cities, but as Tamil Nadu is right now the lowest level of region, we can not just delete the cities, as this will leave many of them without anything linking to them. I will now put the cities in again and afterwards consider a possible subdivision.  (WT-en) ClausHansen 03:24, 30 December 2009 (EST)

Regionlist template
I'd like to suggest we re-add the regionlist template. Even without a map, the template provides consistent and easy-to-edit organization of the region information. (WT-en) LtPowers 09:04, 25 February 2010 (EST)

Cities again
I just removed this listing from the "Cities" list, because it's a district:

 * Tirunelveli — gateway to far southern part of Tamil Nadu

What do we do with this, in the "Other destinations" section?

 * Ooty, Kodaikanal and Yercaud - Hill Stations

Hill stations are cities, under WV definitions. Which one is more important to list in the "Cities" section? Ooty or Kodaikanal? Or should both be listed and one of the cities currently in the list be deleted - and if so, which one? Any other thoughts about "Cities" and "Other destinations"? Pondicherry is not in Tamil Nadu and shouldn't be listed; same with Auroville, right? Are there other "Other destinations" that are actually cities? Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:46, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I removed Pondicherry and Auroville for not being in Tamil Nadu. The remaining question is which of Ooty and Kodaikanal should be added to the Cities list. The Ooty article is more developed - Usable vs. Outline (Yercaud is a messed-up Stub, as it stands), so unless anyone thinks otherwise, I will add Ooty to the cities list and delete the rest from "Other destinations" quite soon. Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:48, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

 * As per the Wikipedia articles, Kodaikanal has less than half the population of Ooty. Yercaud's population is actually slightly greater than Kodaikanal's, so its article really should be better. Ooty has been added to the "Cities" list, with the other two deleted from "Other destinations" as cities, albeit small ones. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:13, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Stuff removed from "Get around"
Did not fit the section. — Ravikiran (talk) 14:03, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Religious festivals

 * Aadi Perukku (18th day of the Tamil Month of Aadi) is celebrated to welcome the huge influx of water in the major river Kaveri.
 * Akshaya Tritiya On the third day after the new moon day that follows the Tamil new year. Locals believe that anything done on this day is equivalent doing it a thousand times over and it is believed that buying gold on this day will ensure prosperity throughout life.
 * Deepavali, the festival of lights marks the killing of the demon Narakasura by Lord Krishna. To celebrate the end of evil, people symbolically take oil bath, burst crackers, exchange sweets and adorn new dresses to express their joy.
 * Karthigai Deepam when people light a large number of oil lamps at their homes to signify the dawn of light.
 * Krishna Jayanti or Gokulashtami A celebration of the birthday of Lord Krishna.
 * Navaratri is a festival celebrated across nine days in honor of the three goddesses Durga (strength), Lakshmi (wealth), Saraswathi (learning). Vijayadasami is the next day after Navaratri and is considered to be the most auspicious day for starting new ventures.
 * Pongal, the harvest festival of the state is celebrated during the Tamil month of Thai (mid-January in Gregorian Calendar), is an important festival for the people of Tamil Nadu, especially the farmers, irrespective of their religion. It is celebrated over four days. The festival thanks everyone - the sun god for his sunshine, cattle for their work, friends & fellow workers for their support, for the season's harvests.
 * Bogi Pongal (The first day) is about getting the old things out of your household to make way for the new harvest. On this day, discarded household items (brooms, mats, etc.) are burnt before sunrise and delicacies are offered to the Gods.
 * Uzhavar Thirunaal (The second day or Farmer's day) is about thanking the sun god for his sun shine. On this day Ven Pongal, a mixture of rice and lentils, is cooked in earthen pots and offered to the Gods along with sarkarai pongal, the sweeter version of the  former.
 * Maatu Pongal (The third day -- Maatu (Cow)), is for paying respect to cattle. Cows/bulls are washed, their horns are painted and decorated, and they are taken to a nearby temple. Jallikattu, Indian version of the Bull run, competitions are also held.
 * Kaanum Pongal (The fourth day), family and friends are visited and new clothes are given to maids and servants. This day is for thanking fellow humans for their support.
 * Tamil Varuda Pirappu (Tamil New Year) The 1st day of the Tamil month of Chittirai. Usually, this falls on 14th or 15th April.
 * Vinayaga Chathurthi A celebration of the birthday of Lord Ganesha.
 * Varalakshmi pooja on this day, married women pray for the well being of their husbands.

Other festivals

 * Natyanjali is celebrated in many Hindu temples at the end of February and beginning of March, and includes daily classical Indian dance and music performances.
 * New Year's Eve Parties are hosted on New Year's Eve. Special prayers are offered in churches.

 * Should any of these be in a subsection of "Do"? Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:51, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

New page banners for subregions
A variant of the banner used by Tamil Nadu is used by its two subregions: Southwestern Tamil Nadu and Tamil Nadu South Coast. I think we should use different banners for the subregions to comply with our WV:Page banners guideline: "Do not use custom banners in more than one article. Using the same banner in multiple places may confuse readers." Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 08:38, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

 * I think Southwestern Tamil Nadu should use a page banner showing the Meenakshi temple complex, while Tamil Nadu South Coast should use a page banner showing Rameswaram temple or Dhanushkodi or Adam's Bridge (Rama Setu). Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 08:43, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Southwestern Tamil Nadu banner.jpg]]
 * I have now proposed to use a different image of the same subject (Palani Hills) as the banner of Southwestern Tamil Nadu, which looks very decent to me. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 04:56, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Tamil Nadu South Coast banner.jpg]]
 * I have now proposed to use the skyline of Rameswaram as the banner of Tamil Nadu South Coast, since Rameswaram is an island town, thus a coastal town. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 05:06, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Pinging active editors in case of inactivity. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 05:22, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll simply defer to you, but I hope a better banner could be used for the state. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:11, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I like the first banner better, so my preference is to use that banner for this, while the third banner for Southwest TN. SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 06:18, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Let me clarify, I want separate banners for the subregions of Tamil Nadu, not the state itself. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 06:25, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I understood that perfectly. My comment should be read as addressing a separate point. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:14, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Too many restaurants
There are too many restaurants with virtually no descriptions now. Please describe the good ones and nuke the bad ones... (WT-en) Jpatokal 08:46, 27 October 2009 (EDT)

Star article
I think I want to make Tampere article into a star. Have already been working on it last couple of sick days. Kudos for whoever wrote those bus line descriptions, solid work!

Drink & Eat
I can re-write those sections, I've sampled them all...

Bus
I updated the bus section to reflect the changes enacted in 2014, i.e., the new prices and bus lines. For those bus lines that have direct equivalents, I updated the route information accordingly. For some of the bus lines that were discussed, there are no equivalents in the new system, so I cut them out. Leaving the text here, if someone wants to incorporate them back somehow:

21 Tahmela - Hatanpää - Turtola: A devious and long line. Western terminus near to line 10 Pispalanharju terminus, but dozens of meters below. It curves through picturesque lower Pispala, or more specifically Tahmela and continues along a narrow road made in the ridge wall, just like in Monaco. The line goes by Rosendahl hotel and the Pyynikki summer theatre and passes some nice villas and palaces like the line 10. You may use also this line to the Pyynikki Tower, but the walking distance is somewhat longer. From Central Square the line continues southbound to Hatanpää (see line 3), and then all the way through some boring suburbs to Turtola hypermarket area. There's however a nice pasture with cows, owned by Ahlman farming school along Veisunkatu road, just between the apartment blocks. You can buy raw milk and other rustic food products from Ahlman. Departures every 30 min.

39 Pyynikintori square - Hervanta (travels only during Mon-Fri during the winter season): A line for architecture enthusiasts. It goes by every (post)modern buildings of Tampere designed by the famous architect couple Reima and Raili Pietilä. When the bus leaves Pyynikki square, the next stop is at Metso, the city library resembling a capercaillie above. Then at the end of Itsenäisyydenkatu street (which begins from the railway station tunnel) is a very prominent Kaleva church, also known as the "silo of the souls". From Kaleva the line continues along a boring highway to Hervanta. In Hervanta the whole central axis is planned by Pietiläs, namely from the old part of Duo mall and the public buildings surrounding the "bazar" and "piazza" west from the mall. The line proceeds then to its terminus with nothing worth seeing, chiefly 1970s "commieblocks". The line departures only during the peak hours on winter season working days, so using the line might be challenging. The nearest equivalent is the line 20 (Central Square - Hermia - Hikivuori), which shares the same route from the central square to Hervanta. If you wish to see Metso, you'll have to change to another line or walk the few clicks there.

70 Nokia - Central Square - Kangasala (travelling to Nokia or Kangasala crosses the city border, so you need to buy a specific ticket on board. Traveling within the city limits is possible with the Tourist Card). If you are eager to see a town called Nokia, use this line (or lines 71 and 79) westbound. There's nothing special or worth to see. The paper mills along Nokia river are the origin of the contemporary Nokia corporation, but the mobile phone firm has no longer any activities in Nokia town. Nokia manor is however still owned by the corporation. Eastbound to Kangasala, there's much more to see. The line passes the long Kaukajärvi lake, which has served as a world-championship paddling stadium. There's two well-equipped and popular swimming beaches along the line, particularly in the west end of the lake (Kaukajärvi swimming stadium) and in the east end (Liuttu beach a half kilometre from the bus stop). The lake offers also some great views to Kaukajärvi suburb, with "recumbent skyscraper" apartments on the opposite shore. They are of wow especially at night, when the windows are lit. The line then proceeds to Kangasala with some ordinary industrial and residential areas and then the bus arrives to Kangasala bus station. There's a small market place at the bus station, some local cafés and very nice hiking routes along the roads or the ridge. Further away there's some observation towers which offer great views. One of them has inspired the 19th century poet Z. Topelius, who wrote the poem A Summer's Day in Kangasala. Departures every 20–60 minutes.

'''4 Särkänniemi amusement park - Railway stn. - Bus stn.''' (only during the summer, June–August): Takes you from the stations, drives through the main street, then turns right to the picturesque Hämeenpuisto avenue and finally stops at the gates of Särkänniemi amusement park. Departures every 20 min.

Get around section
Given the trams are now running, I think the get around section should be updated. Unfortunately I'm not a local and don't speak the language, but I think we do have Finnish editors, right?

I think the "By tram" section should be moved up and a description of routes be given. I'm pretty sure there'll be changes to the bus network, so those should also be updated. Anything else I'm missing? Hobbitschuster (talk) 14:38, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Yes we should definitely describe the trams now as the service is officially running (in May there were some of them running along the main street, Hämeenkatu). I think I could add some basics to the article. --Ypsilon (talk) 14:57, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks. What do you think about the order of the subsections? I think the tram subsection should at least go above the bus subsection... Hobbitschuster (talk) 19:38, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

 * I don't really have an opinion. According to the news (Google translate from an article in a Non-Indo-European language here) the tram hasn't become that popular right away, so I don't think it's important to lift it up yet but do as you like. --Ypsilon (talk) 17:49, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

The name of this article should be "Tamsui". The only place "Danshui" is used as an English name in the whole town is the Metro station, which is named by Taipei Metro, not by the local government. The official town website, as well as just about every sign, map, and store in the whole town, uses "Tamsui" as the English name. I'll change the name of the article, unless someone wants to dispute it. —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 114.45.211.82 (talk • contribs)

MR link title YASSINE SERROUKH

=The Ferry routes=

This is an area I hear time and time again travelers really struggle with, the guide section is already long and difficult to follow. I have some ideas about how to improve it, but I would like some feedback and especially help from people in the know on this because it's a sensitive edit and I want to get it right.

1. the route from tangier MED to Tangier/Tangir isn't so concise, all that is really needed is the bus, ferry, cash exchange, and a warning about the bus/train not operating for late arrivals. I'm not 100% sure, but I hear the train hardly ever runs at all, only in peak season or something.

2. the taxi fare seems seriously overpriced and it reeks of cartel conduct, it's a long way to tangier from the port but the driver often picks up random (paying) passengers on the side of the road, and 250DM is more than the average daily wage in Morocco.

3. the bus FROM tangier to tangier MED, there is so much mis-matched information online about where it leaves from, I hear it's actually free. they told me at the offices it runs hourly 24/7 from the bus station, but on arrival at the station I was told it was bi-hourly. This could be some clever morrocan ruse, hard to say.

4. there is currently no complete list of ferry operators or prices, and no distinction between where one buys the ticket

5. there is no mention on just how unreliable the ferries are, both times I found them leaving on a timetable completely unrelated to the advertised one, one was 30min late, the other was FOUR HOURS late

6.I recieved good advice that it's MUCH better to not book the ferry, and just buy the ticket based on which ship is in port, that way you don't have to wait hours for a delayed vesstle

also do you think we should link the "get in" "go next" pages for cities linked by ferry? --Willthewanderer (talk) 08:35, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Non-sequitur, possibly copyvio
So, I just replaced a non-sequitur version of this article, which consisted of an article about Tanzania ("Zanzibar"?) receiving an award from a travel magazine.

I'm pretty sure that's not what we want for the Tanzania travel guide, and I've got a hunch that it was copied from the Guardian newspaper.

Anyways, I don't think it belonged, so I reverted to the previous version. --(WT-en) Evan 02:37, 11 Aug 2004 (EDT)

Tanzanian capital
Isn't the capital Dadoma? The gov is there. Perhaps someone had some outdated information?
 * You're obviously knowledge about Tanzania, but, Dadoma isn't the capital. You're right that the legislative branch has moved there. A quote from the CIA 2006 World Factbook: Dar es Salaam; note - legislative offices have been transferred to Dodoma, which is planned as the new national capital; the National Assembly now meets there on regular basis. Dadoma will eventually become the capital, but it's not official. I will make a change on the article reflecting this. - (WT-en) Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 01:31, 15 June 2006 (EDT)

Actually, since 1973 Dodoma, not Dadoma, has been the official capital of Tanzania. Although the government had planned on transferring all government offices to Dodoma by the mid-1980, that fell through for a number of practical reasons, but the title of Capital remained. This was basically a failed experiment in the hopes of spreading economic growth and development beyond Dar es Salaam. Dar es Salaam remains the largest city and the location where most if not all government offices are located and that will not change for the foreseeable future. - Dagobert29 21:37, 21 February 2007, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (EAT)

''To add to this (from different contributor than the rest of this article): My experience with Scandanavia has been horrendous. I really do not know why everyone tells me that they are the best. With bugs in the broken seats and poorly maintained vehicles in general, each of the 6 rides I took with them was uncomfortable. Dar Express was ill advised to me at first, but when I took their bus, I was much more impressed with their quality of service and product. Accept for the movies that many of the companies like to play at high volume of screaming Nigerian soap operas or old Jean Claude Van Dam movies that seem ubiquitous, just about anything was better than Scandanavia.''

Theft
Tanzania is not inherently can dangerous. Pickpockets and snatch and grabbers don't make a city dangerous, by that qualification Paris, London, New York, L.A. and pretty much any large city would require such a qualification. There are areas of the city that should be avoided or only visited during the day but then most large cities suffer from this. I've lived in this city long enough to know. I travel at night without hesitation and have never been the victim of any crimes and most of my friends and colleagues have had the same experience.

Who ever wrote in the "corruption" section on if the Police and military know how to handle ak 47s why don't you read about Tanzania's invasion of Uganda or invasion of Anjoun then maybe you will get the motherfucking god damn picture of how wel trained the Tanzanian military is. If you don't think any military knows how to handle guns then lets just say you have an i.q. of 30 and are a stupid fat motherfucker who needs to be beaten by the Tanzanian police (let me stress they don't do that) and then be thrown into the serengeti so that you can be eaten by lions your ignorance is an insult to all of africa and we in africa do not want your presence. I have never gotten this angry before at ignorance and i have been studying Africa and all other countries (not israel or america) for 15 fucking years and i can tell you with certainty that tanzanians and africans in general know how to fucking handle a fucking gun better. sorry about getting so angry but i can not stand such blatent ignorance against such a great continent

 * Apology accepted. We all have our moments.  --(WT-en) Inas 21:24, 3 May 2009 (EDT)

Although I agree that the comment on corruption was completely wrong and insulting, your language and tone are uncalled for and put you in the same category as the person who made original post. This is unacceptable. The section is called "Discussion", not "Rant and Swear". I don't see how you feel you deserve an apology when the comment was not directed at you, whether or not you've served in the military or even if you are Tanzanian. You say we all have our moments which means you were aware of how inappropriate your posting was but still chose to include it.

I also lived in Tanzania for many years. Although I don't have an opinion on the skills of of the military or the police, their corruption is unquestionable. I have experienced it first hand so many times it no longer counts as fluke. Even Tanzanians rate their law enforcement as some of the most corrupt in the region with a staggering +62% judging them as the most corrupt group in the country. This creates frustration in many people who chose to extrapolate. This still does not exonerate you from acting like a civilized person and using proper discourse top express anger.

This is exactly what I have done with my posting. No insults, personalizing or swearing required.

No apology given. --(WT-en) Dagobert29 17:17, 18 December 2009

Choice of vehicle
The author claims Vehicles with always-on 4x4 are not the best choice for off-road driving. because these are made for driving on snow. The author obviously does not realize that every Land Rover Defender oder Range Rover has always-on 4x4. What would be a proper 4-wheel drive in the eyes of this author?

Traffic is bad, but it's definitely not LA-like. Just a few minutes of a jam in downtown, but while you're sitting there, if you're in the Taos state of mind, you can people watch and window shop -- that activity may account for the press of traffic. Yeah, it can be a drag, but you're not in Taos to rush, are you?

Strip shows
OK, this is the randomest question I've ever asked on Wikivoyage, but... what is it with Uzbeks and strip shows? (Which, as the article notes, are apparently "common" in Tashkent too.) I was recently dragged into a nightclub in Jakarta of all places that imports some of its dancers from there, although the two countries are both notionally Muslim and rather far apart to say the least...!? (WT-en) Jpatokal 01:50, 1 August 2006 (EDT)
 * I have often wondered where the statistics for religion come from. My experience in many countries that are notionally Muslim, is that they are far from that. Tashkent is only one example, Sierra Leone is also largely Christian rather than Muslim, as the widely accepted information would suggest. Certainly a walk around Tashkent will dispel any impression that Islam is a major factor in the life of people there.  The Uzbek government is also ruthlessly secular.  (WT-en) Davidbstanley 16:04, 2 August 2006 (EDT)
 * The most immediate answer is that our figures come from the CIA. Don't ask me where they get them. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 17:07, 2 August 2006 (EDT)
 * I have noticed that the World Factbook is very inaccurate in places. I use it in my travels.  I think a lot of their figures and facts are guesses.  I know they calculate population statistics for a lot of counties by adding a percentage to the last years figure.  You don't have to do this for many years before the figures are meaningless.  But it is a free publication, so it is hard to complain! (WT-en) Davidbstanley 04:36, 3 August 2006 (EDT)

Uzbekistan is one of the most fun places I have ever been!! So Cheap and the locals are fun too.

Safety and security
My own experience over the last year of regular visits to Tashkent is that it is a very safe place. I feel more comfortable in Tashkent than in may cities in Europe/US. Though the travel advice form the US in particular is very 'conservative', no one should worry too much about going there. Even for US citizens, it is likely to be a good place for a visit. I have never had any problems walking around the city and I do walk after dark! I have only once been asked for identification by police (on the Metro). I did not have any (I never carry it) and he was not too bothered.

I am not sure I would describe it as one of the most fun places as mentioned above, but it is very cheap! (WT-en) Davidbstanley 02:09, 9 November 2006 (EST)

Uzbekistan is a very interesting and fun place to visit. During my recent trip to Uzbeksitan, I visited many of it's beautiful! cities. The hotels were comfortable with freindly staff and great service. I loved the architecture and many historical sights we visited. I felt safe when I was taking walks after dinner. The prices were higher than I expected, most of everyday expences weren't much lower than prices in US, guess they seem cheap for Europian visitors.

Regions
Watching the South Island New Zealand discussion on regions, it is obvious if I am possibly the only contributer on this issue here it would be best to leave explanations of why and how the various articles and regions link. I have made a few mistakes already, but hope the final result is better than what I found. Almost all the Tasmanian articles are outlines, and of fairly sketchy quality. Once I have checked a few things I will put up my suggestion for ammendment of the current Tasmania/regions/cities/etc structure... it may take a few days or more to come up with the proposal. sats (talk) 04:25, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

 * The regions as listed are the standard regions and correspond to how Tasmanians divide up the state (with one exception, there is is no "North", there is only "North-east" and "North-west" - I'll be altering this shortly). You'd need a pretty good reason to change from that, particularly as it would no longer correspond to how the tourism services in the state approach things. Manning Bartlett (talk) 23:19, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

 * which is exactly why i did the above message 0 just in case there was another editor interested - I am not sure your assertions are based in fact having been a tasmanian and also having done the regions article on wp en - feel free to change stuff, but as I had said I am in no rush to change anything, as it is, the lack of anything of substance about the southwest is a major issue, and the southeast and hobart things are a mess sats (talk) 23:59, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

 * OK so in one sense there is according to some versions no 'northern tasmania' (it is used widely in a range of tourism and other publications) - a good guide is the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government_areas_of_Tasmania - and their groupings. Conflating the regions into 5 seems a bit much, perhaps a conversation raher than assertions and change could help negotiate a better outcome sats (talk) 00:26, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

 * http://www.discovertasmania.com/launceston_tamar_and_north for something current, and also my copy of treasure islander for june 1989 also has it - so I really think it is a point of conversation or discussion, rather than a single editors assertion  sats (talk) 02:55, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

 * No probs. I've been a Tasmanian all my life and seriously, I have yet to hear anyone ever refer to "the North", only the North-west, North-east and Tamar Valley. Even that link you gave has a map which only shows the North-east region (despite calling it "The North"). The body text also only ever refers to the "North-east'. If any tourist starts asking locals about "The North" they'll get a strange look as well. Still I'm not bothered by it - I just find it pretty odd.

 * as far as how many groups there should be, five seems like a decent number, and corresponds to how Tasmanians generally view the state (it's also how the Discover Tasmania site approaches it). Whether the Central Highlands gets grouped on its own, under Northwest coast or under the West Coast is all a bit arbitrary. The argument for listing along with the NW Coast is that Devonport is the primary access point to the Cradle area. The argument for the West Coast is it ties in with the "Wilderness heritage" aspect (which is what the Discover Tasmania site does). Grouping on its own seems a little pointless IMO. Manning Bartlett (talk) 05:25, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

 * The problem with this strange thing called wikivoyage - its not our personal experience (I was a west coaster, and regular commuter throuh the central highlands to hobart - which in itself was looked upon by the locals as odd as the west coast orientation was always to the north west or even melbourne rather than hobart) - but the requirements of wikivoyage format -you might think grouping is pointless - after having changed it to your preferred clumping, ther preferred format is for the visitor traveller (aka mainlander) - where if you see the requirements as espoused by this project is quite different from wp en or other sites.So arbitrary or pointless is not what I am seeking - more - if the traveller goes to tassie fromthe mainland - how do they organise their visit - with most ofthe articles for tasmania to date being atrocious quality - it is embarassing to say the least to even be editing the mess that is there, so just to get articles to tie into the 5 regions (as long as no one else comes in and insists on another variation)- it is a case of a consensus of the 5 main regions and then cleaning up the mess... like trying to get some reasonable quality information into the outline articles once they in the correct region... sats (talk) 05:49, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

 * So the problem of claims for areas regions and their priority within a heirarchy for tassie regions is that it depends who you are and where you are looking from - west coasters - as I have mentioned are oriented to the north west coast historically it was their 'way out' by emu bay, ship or otherwise - the road to hobrt came quite late in time and was a killer until our lifetimes (relatively speaking)... so your comments about the 'the north' means either youve been istanbul too long :), or somehow you are related literally or metaphorically to the pollies who wanted to move parliament house to lonnie :), in general the regional rivalries and the ramifications in politics go back to my old home town of queenie was in a region that was politcally and demographically equal to lonnie and hobart and was trying to flex its muscle - just before the zeehan silver mines failed or about that time - pre first world war.  (all this could go into an understand section about tasmania - this is not wp en and the regional rivalries thing is quite unique compared to bloated over sized states on the mainland. )

so I do hope you get my drift - there aspects of this that could go into 'understand' about tassie - and the need for groupings and explaining the connections is an important part of editing and improving the article - is very very 'un' wp en - but a vital part of wikivoyaga imho. sats (talk) 09:25, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Tasmania eligible for guide?
Given that now all Tasmania articles are at least usable or higher, would that mean that after brushups to this article, would this now be a guide article? SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 01:48, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * This article looks pretty good, and is close to guide status. I see Hobart is at guide status, which is good news, but we might need a couple more important tourist destinations at guide status to justify the move. I would take a look at Tasmania. A minor point would be to make sure that list includes only nine cities, per the 7+2 policy. I think this is close to guide status, though, which would be a big step forward I hope can happen soon. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 17:40, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Oh dear, too many cities!
Here's a list of all the cities mentioned here:
 * – the state capital and largest city located in the south of the island
 * – beach town on the east coast
 * – the fourth largest city in Tasmania
 * – home to the Spirit of Tasmania ferry, third largest city
 * – gateway to southern Tasmania
 * – the second largest city
 * – historic mining town on the west coast
 * – home to many old buildings dating back to the 19th century as well as the oldest bridge in use in Australia

I personally think the last two should be removed, only because I've never heard of them. Given I've never visited the island, I'd prefer if someone who has at least visited to comment.

Banner
I like the current banner, but it's also being used on Australian Convict Sites, and the mountains are more a highlight of Tassie than the convict sites in Port Arthur. I've cropped some other ones though. Keeping in mind, that I, just like most mainlanders, have never been to Tasmania. If anyone has visited Tassie to give in some input on which place is more representative, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Alternatively, there are some banners also on Talk:Hartz Mountains National Park which may also suit the Tasmania article. -- SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 07:56, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Current banner is not bad, but doesn't convince me. 1 doesn't tell very much, and could be any place on Earth. 2 looks good, but we should reserve it for the park article to have a nice banner. The same with 4. 5 is a lesser version of 6. While 8 and 9 are depicting local fauna of the place, the focus of the animal is not good for a banner. --Onwa (talk) 18:00, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

It seems there's really a lot of mixed responses here.
 * Banner 1 – 0

Region structure
I must say that the region structure is an absolute mess. Why does a national park get its whole entire region? What's the benefit of that? North West Coast needs a massive cleanup, something that requires a lot of time to do, which I don't have much this month, and have abstained from doing that because of the region mess. I've come up with a new region list at User:SHB2000/Tas regions, which in a nutshell:
 * SE Tasmania is renamed as Southern Tasmania
 * North West Coast and West Coast are merged
 * Eastern Tasmania is basically just East Coast (Tasmania) and Northeast Tasmania combined
 * Southwest Nat Park, which seems to come under both Western and Southern (which was likely why it was a region of its own) is just going to be under southern for simplicity. Plus, the only road (B68) leading into SW Nat Park comes from the rest of Southern Tasmania
 * The two Bass Strait islands will remain as it is, along with the currently uncreated Kent Group National Park
 * Macquarie Island will remain where it is and not be breadcrumbed under Tasmania (or Australia for that matter)
 * The 7 regions are cut down to four, with only three having region articles

Does that work out? -- SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 01:23, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

"There is no ferry service between New Zealand and Tasmania (or indeed anywhere else in Australia)."
Common sense would indicate that NZ is way too far away from anywhere in Aus (even Macquarie Island or Norfolk Island) to justify a ferry service. Is it really necessary to have this line, or can it be removed outright? -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 12:45, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

 * About 50 years ago there were ferries from Australia to New Zealand. The line can be removed as it is covered by "There are no international ferry services operating." in Australia. AlasdairW (talk) 21:21, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

A minor niche milestone, but...
Maybe this isn't a milestone, and even if it were to be considered one, it's very niche (as I stated in the title), but hear me out on this (I even thought twice before sharing this).

On Feb 25, 2023, I made a list that kept track of every single Tasmanian article that contained a routebox – it was manually updated every time I added a routebox to the bottom of every article. After 1.5 months, I finally finished adding a routebox to every single Tasmanian article (destinations that have roads, obviously).

It wasn't until recently that I came to the realisation how everything becomes way more easily navigable without having to use the breadcrumb hierarchy. Now, for the first time, I can jump between every town between Burnie and Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area, per se, without having to go back to the region article (Western Tasmania), while also getting an insight on what's along the way.

So, what's my point, you ask? For content creators (or anyone, really), if you can add a routebox, please do so. It might not seem like a useful addition at first glance, but the more routeboxes added to nearby destinations, the more it'll feel in place. These are way more helpful for travellers than a geoline marking each hiking trail on Tombstone Territorial Park, per se.

Talk:Tatra National Park (Poland)

Article name
Should this article be called Tatra mountains? or just Tatra? The article naming conventions suggest using the (shortest) most common English name. Also, there are redirects from Tatras, Tatry, Tartras, Tartra too. This indicates to me that the mountains part is more of a description of the geography than the region name. Meanwhile I will point everything to Tatra Mountains, so any move can be done. -- (WT-en) Huttite 22:06, 18 Nov 2005 (EST)

Talk:Taupo

Merge with Lake Taupo?
Should this article be merged with the Lake Taupo article?

No
The lake itself is not so much a destination as an attraction and perhaps the page should be developed as such. Along the lines of the Mount St. Helens, Mount Rushmore pages possibly? This would leave the towns/settlements pages ie. Taupo, Turangi to provide information on accomodation, activities etc. in the relevent locations.

Motels
I've moved the following from a Taupo Motels page-- we don't create article for sections. We also like to offer people a short list of recommendations-- it is not one of our goals to be a yellow pages. It would be great if this guide featured 7-9 hotels in each budget range. Think of the places you'd send your friends and family-- you don't just give them an A-Z list. Anyway, this guide is coming along great, but this will make it even better.

Districtify
Hi everyone. I believe it would really make sense to split up Tbilisi in district. One really does move in one district or uses the metro to get from one place to the other. So these places are pretty much separated in their sense. Here is a suggestion for a splitup, no idea whether that matches the administrative parts of the city: If agreed, we would need a naming for these districts. If someone comes up with the naming, I would figure out the different administrative part they are made of. Cheers Ceever (talk) 14:17, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Old Town, sulphur baths & botanical garden
 * 2) Rustaveli avenue and surroundings (shopping)
 * 3) Vera Park (night live)
 * 4) Vake
 * 5) Station Square, Stadium, Marjanishvili (shopping, some hostels and clubs)
 * 6) Avlabari & Holy Triniti church
 * 7) Saburtalo (not so relevant)
 * 8) Didube and everything north (Chronicles of Georgia and Lake)
 * 9) Southest beyond Avlabari

 * The article looks long enough to districtify. About how many listings would you expect to be in each of these articles? Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:38, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

 * I guess at least 10 listings for each of the main 6 districts, with high a concentration along Rustaveli and in/around the Old Town.
 * Cheers Ceever (talk) 23:00, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Sounds good to me. You have my blessing, though I hope people who know the city weigh in with their opinions. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:46, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes, the article looks pretty long so a district division could be useful. If there are enough content for this many districts, then go ahead, but it's of course also possible to start with a smaller number of districts and if you notice some of them will become very long they can be further split. Also, official districts can be good guidelines, but if their borders are counter-intuitive to visitors, then it's better to use landmarks that can be seen in reality and on maps such as wide streets/roads, railways, parks and bodies of water. Ypsilon (talk) 16:59, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Turns out, there are no proper district bounderies on OSM. This makes it a little harder and I dont know whether it is a good idea to disrictify Tbilisi without them, probably double work.
 * I tried using existing district ways on OSM to define relations, but apparently these ways are not exact and editors on OSM prevent creating relations from them. 🤷♂
 * If anyone is keen enough creating the proper relations on OSM and WD for the districts, this would definitely help.
 * Cheers Ceever (talk) 21:35, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

 * @Ceever, @Ypsilon: I have added a list of districts with neighbourhoods and a map here: Tbilisi. Maybe it's a good idea to separate Tbilisi to several articles?

 * Yeah, it was also kind of sad to see this go. But again, we've had other FPs also been deleted from Commons as well. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 01:57, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Cycling
right now it's described as rare -- in my view, it should be added that there are many bike paths. Something like "Cycling was rare, but with an expanding network of bike paths, more cyclists now can be seen. The consensus view is that cycling does require significant experience."

(One could also add that scooters are available.) Hundnase (talk) 03:49, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Right. I'm not an editor of Wikivoyage, and don't really intend on becoming one, but I thought I'd point out that Tinganes is not the location of the parliament but of the government offices. The parliament is in lögtingshúsið, I believe. However, the name Tinganes does imply that the parliament used to sit there, as if it means the same as Þinganes would in Icelandic (I'm Icelandic), it means parliament peninsula. So I don't really want to edit it, as I don't know the truth of the matter, apart from what's located at Tinganes today. See www.tinganes.fo --Sterio

 * I agree. Tinganes is where you find red houses with green roofs. The parliament is where the marker and the street address are but this is clearly not waterfront (and let us hope it will never be) and not something to visit. I changed this entry to an entry on Tinganes. Michael63-osm (talk) 21:24, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Alternative banners

What would you say about adding a more colourful banner to this article? I have two new suggestions, from which I prefer #2 (although perhaps nicer colours and better composition, I feel #1 is slightly out of focus). They are both typical views when coming by ship. --Danapit (talk) 09:15, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * If there are no objections, I'll go ahead and use alternative banner #2 later today. --Danapit (talk) 07:24, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
 * 1 is prettier, though. I'm not seeing the lack of focus on my screen. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:48, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
 * All right, I quite like both, so #1 it is. --Danapit (talk) 07:42, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Istanbul is a fast food restaurant, which is fine. If you want to suggest a Turkish restaurant with one of the best Turkish food in Tubingen, you should suggest for example Aspendos. But please don't suggest a fast-food restaurant to be the best representative of the Turkish kitchen in town. Would you suggest X as a place that serves the best German food in town? I won't of course... —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 192.124.26.250 (talk • contribs)

 * Please plunge forward! --(WT-en) globe-trotter 10:47, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

"on the house where Goethe lived (or was it Schiller?)"
The both never lived here in Tübingen. Goethe once visited Tübingen from the 7th to 16th September 1797. Hermann Hesse, Friedrich Hölderlin, Ludwig Uhland and others well known german poets lived here for some years. Greetings from Tübingen. Till Kopper --93.205.46.154 08:56, 17 December 2011 (EST)

Style
The introduction to this article is slightly chaotic and disorganised with a childish/undergraduate feel to it. It could do with some work/ editing to make it more readable. —The preceding comment was added by 86.161.131.180 (talk • contribs)

 * I don't think it's that bad really, but if you have some ideas on how to improve it, please plunge forward and make necessary changes. Do keep in mind the Project:Tone policy, though—in short, we want lively travel writing here, not dry encyclopedic facts. – (WT-en) Vidimian 06:38, 9 July 2012 (EDT)
