"Kodaikanal has train connections to Nagarcoil, Coimbatore, Thanjavur, Erode, Tirunelveli, Palaghat, Rameswaram, Dindugal and Madurai"
This is not correct. Kodaikanal has no railway station. It does have road connections (windy, and rather slow) to various towns with rail connections, as listed above. Not to be confused with Kodai Road which is a railway station on the plain on the Madras-Madurai line. Jellytussle 06:29, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Are you sure that Perumal is an extinct volcano? I was under the impression that it just looks volcano shaped. Jellytussle 17:01, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
"Views from Kodai are dominated by Mount Perumal, an extinct volcano." C'mon. It isn't a volcano. It is at a lower altitude than Kodai, and it is not visible from the lake or Coakers walk. Can hardly be said to dominate the views. Jellytussle 20:42, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Perumal is visible from the entrance to coakers walk but not from the lake. It is definitely not an extinct volcano; it is a distinctively shaped hill really - you can climb it in about 2 hours THANK YOU ······· SO MUCH·§··
"Meadows and grasslands cover the hillsides."
Except for the bits where there is shola, or building, or Bryant Park, or KIS.
"Gigantic Eucalyptus trees and shola forests flourish in the valleys."
Except for the bits where the trees have been cut down.
"Mighty rocks and cascading streams. rise up from the valleys."
Do the rocks really rise? In my experience cascading streams usually go downhill.
"There are many high waterfalls and ubiquitous gardens and flower beds in bloom.[9]"
There are some high waterfalls. There are some gardens. Flower beds, where planted, bloom in season, and are presumably not unbiquitous in the places where meadow and grasslands cover the hillside, gigantic eucy trees and shola flourish, and the bits where mighty rocks and cascades rise up etc. Jellytussle ( talk) 16:20, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Someone states that:
I have deleted the following passage, which seems like gratuitous advertising:
"The oldest restaurant in Kodaikanal is "The Silver Inn", whose speciality is the "Steak sizzler" - beef steaks and assorted vegetables on a hot plate made to sizzle by adding meat sauce on the hot plate."
Firstly, is there documentary evidence that this is the oldest restaurant in Kodai? Older than the one in the Carlton, or the one in the English (Kodai) club? Secondly, there are other places to get sizzlers in Kodai. If we are going down this route then we should list the oldest chai stall, souvenir shop, church, latrine, school, pedalo etc. Jellytussle 09:01, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone tell me which are the English newspapers based in Kodaikanal or printed locally in Kodaikanal? Also, if possible, their websites?

Image:Tnlogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

To creat this new section see: Nora Mitchell Marcus ( talk) 05:30, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Although I approve of Marcus' extensive restructuring of this page (considering the amount of time and edits he has made), I am beginning to think this article is now a mess with too many photos, terrible alignment and bad overall structure. The reading pattern is not linear, and the information isn't balanced. Marcus, I think you need to consider what other people have written also, rather than just completely remove text and replace(whichever you see fit!). I know thats the idea of how wikipedia works, but to replace some better photos with worse ones of yours is just sad. I'm talking about the Silver cascade image (which I spent 1 hour to shoot, waiting for everyone to move out and even cleaned the area a bit), which you have replaced with a pathetic overexposed amateur picture. Its almost like vandalism - Please consider other people's uploads. Nijumania ( talk) 12:44, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
