Has Belgaum's name changed to Belagaavi officially? All citations regarding the renaming are worded in the future tense. Although the date of Nov 1 is long gone, there's no government or media website which says that the name is now Belagaavi for official purposes.

I've taken a cue from the Bangalore and Mangalore articles (because those cities are in the same boat) and have slightly modified the opening sentence. I hope it reflects the future tense reports of the cited sources more accurately.

I haven't seen any official notice yet, so retaining the original name for now is probably prudent. It will be a decade before the new name is in common use. Achitnis 17:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. One just needs to be wary of the edits of language hawks who try to "put things right" :-). - Max ^{- You were saying?} 06:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As per the rules at WP:CITE, you will need to provide a reference. This can be a book, website or other source, but it can't be a YouTube video or social networking page. I hope you understand and thank you. Chevymontecarlo. 17:54, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've semi-protected the page due to numerous editors changing information regarding languages without providing a source to support that information. All information on Wikipedia must be verifiable using a reliable source. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:17, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just reverted two edits that deleted all mention of Marathi, including the citations to reliable sources. Here As mentioned above, this seems to be a real and ongoing problem. --Bejnar (talk) 04:13, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

<Comment>: The section on the KLE education society written under education section seems little biased and reads almost like an eulogy. For one statement that KLE Engineer college is World Famous is nothing but far fetched. This section must be definitely edited. Apart from KLE there are other societies which have done good work in the field of Education in Belgaum. For Instance, KLS (Karnatak Law Society, Colleges GIT, GCC), SKE(South Konkan Education Society, GSS, SKE - most popular Science College) are older of these. Also should be noted, that some of these societies, which were to be run democratically, and conceived as such, are now being run/controlled by a single individual or a family - KLE being a best example in this case. New entrants like Balekundri, Angdi, JGI have their own education institutions. More popular among Engineering colleges atleast a few years ago was GIT going by the CET ranks that would chose between the two colleges. The current list of Engineering colleges in Belgaum HQ.

1. GIT (KLS societies, Gogte Institute of Technology) 2. KLE Societies Dr Sheshadri College of Engineering 3. A. M. Sheik Engineering College 4. Balekundri College of Engineering 5. Angadi College of Engineering & Management 6. JGIs Jain College of Engineering & Management 7. Maratha Mandal College of Engineering 8. One more (I just can't remember this now).

There are more engineering colleges in Talukas and other rural areas like Hukkeri, Nidshoshi etc.

Belgaum → Belgaum, India — This would make it consistent with other pages on Wikipedia.Ryan Vesey (talk) 17:49, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. There is only one Belgaum, so this is completely unnecessary. Contrary to the nominator's reasoning it would not make it consistent with other pages as standard Wikipedia policy (WP:TITLE) is to use the shortest unambiguous title, which in this case is the name of the city on its own. 86.6.193.43 (talk) 23:24, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I realize that now, I had been confused because I was imagining the "city, state" method for writing many towns in America. I do think that the entire policy should be changed to reflect a city, country method; however, Wikipedians are usually very opposed to change. I do think this discussion can be closed because I was incorrect about the policy.Ryan Vesey (talk) 05:11, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• I went ahead and removed the template for you. For the record though, I think I remember seeing something about US cities (Chicago, Los Angeles) being moved in the opposite direction, i.e. away from unnecessarily long names. Just something to keep in mind in case you propose new guidelines. Gonfaloniere (talk) 07:45, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
