User:24.136.24.38, please do not remove the introduction sentence. And don't keep reverting me. Rameswaram is first a town in India. And then a piligrimage site. Please explain. Regards, Ganeshk ( talk) 01:35, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm moving most of the temple related contents to the temple article. I could revert it back, if any of the editors find it important to stay in the temple. This way, we can both talk about the town in a secular way and be able to talk about the temple in a religious way. Balajiviswanathan 20:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Paul Theroux in The Great Railway Bazaar mentions that the purported tombs of Cain and Abel are located here. Can anyone confirm this? Brutannica ( talk) 07:56, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Guys , i have added description about rameswaram beach in the geography paragraph. Anyone please provide suitable links to support that. I couldn't find any references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.196.206.222 ( talk) 11:42, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Question: Are you using British English or American English? -- Tito Dutta ✉ 08:53, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
I can not understand the reference style in the article. Are you following sfn, harvnb or cite book? -- Tito Dutta ✉ 04:49, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
For demographics, add information from 2011 census, if available
What is Cr rupees? -- Tito Dutta ✉ 06:04, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
I really wonder how this article managed to clear the GAR. The article lacks any section on "History" and thus clearly fails criteria no 3. The article lacks extremely important facts like when the temple was built (in historical times). P. S. I am not pointing out something totally obscure- there are plenty of good, reliable sources on the history of Rameswaram. Secondly, two of the images in the infobox are of places quite outside the municipal limits of Rameswaram town. (One of them, uploaded by me, is of fishing boats near Pamban town which is situated on the western edge of Pamban Island and outside Rameswaram town. The other is of Ramban Railway Bridge which is no-way connected to Rameswaram town).- Ravi My Tea Kadai 02:53, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
"Pamban Island" in the lead is not linked. Besides, in "Municipal Administration" section, there might be unnecessary capitalizations - like, municipality and panchayat union in "According to the Madras Presidency Panchayat Act of 1885, Rameswaram was declared a Panchyat Union during British times. It became a township during 1958 and was declared a Municipality in 2004."- Ravi My Tea Kadai 03:14, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
I request the participants to cooperate with me in rectifying these shortcomings.- Ravi My Tea Kadai 11:00, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
Apart from the above discussed issues, there are a few MOS issues:
— Vensatry (Ping me) 17:26, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
An example: "The major religion followed in Rameswaram is Hinduism. Being a Hindu pilgrimage centre, majority of the visitor to Rameswaram are Hindus. There is a minority of Christians, predominantly from the fishing community of the region"
Aside from the obvious poor English phrasing, the above is sourced to a work published in 1882, which wasn't reliable then and certainly cannot be used to verify a set of statements formed in the present tense. Worse still, the Sfn link doesn't work. - Sitush ( talk) 21:02, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
"Rough checks" mean nothing, especially when it involves original research of passenger statistics. And the fact that refs for small towns are sparse is not an excuse: WP:V is one of the Five Pillars - if you cannot source it reliably, it should not be here. - Sitush ( talk) 23:36, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
The montage doesn't look good, especially with so much gap between the images. Any suggestions? - Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 10:28, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Oops! As I said above, this seems to be another example of a recently-promoted Indic article that is full of Harvard citation errors. Using Ucucha's tool, there are swathes of red appearing. I neither have the time nor the aptitude to fix them right now but hopefully someone can resolve in order to avoid a delisting. - Sitush ( talk) 02:13, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
