I think the literacy numbers are incorrect. If 54% of men are literate and 45% of women, then how come total literacy is 78%??.

This article is currently experiencing edit-wars. It may make sense to semi-protect it until the anons get tired of this game. Achitnis 14:07, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Achitnis. I have invited (in the edit summary) the anon to participate in the discussion. Hope that will put an end to edit-war. - KNM ^Talk 19:56, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

dont remove belgaon.

IMO, all parties involved should stop reverting each other. The article is not so bad that it should be semi-protected. Just don't revert and discuss here. - Aksi_great (talk) 06:52, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

belgaon has more marathi people than kannad. The Belgaum district was incorporated into the newly formed Mysore state (now Karnataka) with the passage of the States Reorganisation Act (1956), which reorganised India's states along linguistic lines despite having a large Marathi-speaking population [4]; about three-fourths of the total population.[5]. Since then Maharashtra is claiming the district to itself and the case is now in Supreme court of India.

I reverted[1] edits by 59.95.28.241, because no rationale was provided for the changes made (changing the alphabetical order in which the languages were listed and removing the sentence about the Airport). utcursch | talk 08:21, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

belgaon has more marathi people so marathi name should come first.

That's not an explanation for removing information about the Airport. utcursch | talk 12:54, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandigarh has punjabi first than hindi. sorry for removing airport information.

Please stop your edit war using an WP:SPA on this page. The order of transliteration is a trivial issue, and Kannada being the administrative language of the Belgaum deserves to be first. I am reverting it once again and if you continue your revert war, I will stop any further reverts as per WP:DFTT. You are free to continue your pointless reverts until an admin looks into this. Also, please stop terming content disputes as vandalism. -- Naveen ^(talk) 13:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have blocked User:Bell Ga On indefinitely as a disruptive SPA and sock of User:Arya Rajya Maharashtra. - Aksi_great (talk) 13:43, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I confirm that this result was reached by me using CheckUser. Dmcdevit·t 06:34, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On what basis have you blocked me. Who is Arya Rajya Maharashtra ? I am not a sock of anyone. And what disruptive edits did I make ? Please don't use administrator powers for wrong purposes. Bel Ga On 14:29, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. Naveenbm himself is a troll. On what basis u allege Bell as being a sock. I am sorry but u have no right. have u people read the explaination before doing a unilateral edit? Sarvabhaum 04:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Belgaon has more marathi people so marathi name should come first (see the article's border dispute sub-section)[2] and the marathi script should come first as it is more relevent that kannada. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandigarh where Punjabi is first followed by Hindi, naturally because Chandigarh has more Punjabis than Hindis. Sarvabhaum 04:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marathi is a far more recent language than Kannada and also now there is no Belgaum its BELAGAAVI. At present Kannadiga and Marathi population are same. Sarvabhaum is spreading vandalism .Boycott him. Sarvabhaum is causing vandalism and

belgavi is not used by common people or newspapers It is still Belgaum for all 1. Belgaum has more Marathi population so Marathi should come first as in Chandigarh where Punjabi is before Hindi. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.95.33.40 (talk) 06:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

The new name is not yet being used or approved by Central government. Search for Belgavi gives very few returns. Same is with Bangalore Also consider Marathi script first than Kannada script for the simple fact that Marathi speakers are more in number there.06:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Just go through the recent census this year and you will find both Kannada and Marathi population same.There a re few villages which have total Marathis .Also there are few in Maharashtra where complete Kannada is there.Please check it up.Karnataka has 2-5ths of India's backward people inside it who can be attracted anywhere.This is the fate that we got by state reorganisation and thats why Karnataka's representation is poor at centre.That is the root cause for all this.But still we tolerate for the country.But if this is the case we won't tolerate anymore!!! Just because we allowed Maratha light infantry there doesn't mean it is marathi.We also have a Madras Engg group in Bengalooru doesn't mean Bengaloor is Tamil. We have 5 states neighbouring with different tongues.We respect every tongue until they are tongues .When they spread venom we cut them. Don't go by google search .I can search for most prostitutes and find Mumbai in it! Don't spread vandalism.If we call Belagaavi its because its official from Nov 1 2006 by Karnataka GovernmentYou see Kannada boards in all places now in Belagaavi.Have a look.

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]
