WIKIDATA COMPE­TITION FOR GEO­LOCAT­ABLE CON­TENT

Please participate in Coordinate Me 2024 during May 2024 and win gifts. Support in improving the quality of geographical coordinates for the villages of Andhra Pradesh. This helps improve maps in Wikipedia, and OpenStreetMap. As a first priority, add coordinates for revenue village entries using AP State GIS portal. This is very easy. From the required villages (Example query for Guntur district), search for the coordinates in AP State GIS portal using Geocode locator menu. You can use village name and mandal/district name if required. Click coordinate symbol in Measurement menu and move the mouse to the place name and copy the displayed coordinates. Paste these coordinates and edit to change the order and separate them with a comma. Add reference with "stated in" and value as "APSGISP" (Example addition) In the past Telugu wikipedian as part of photography contest, added coordinates using online sources such as Google. But these can not be transferred to Wikidata, as wikidata is CC-0 licensed. Currently fo Andhra pradesh, there are coordinate entries for about 5000 revenue villages out of 16000 revenue villages. Many of them also are defective due to import from various wikipedias without validation check. This activity is very helpful for improving maps on Wikipedia and also for providing OSM Telugu maps using wikidata mapping to OSM. For more information check my OSM diary entry "Improving geodata accuracy on OSM and Wikidata" . Enroll here with your wikipedia account and start contributing. Contact me for any clarifications. Users interested in improving entries of other states can also join and contribute to the effort. ----Arjunaraoc (talk) 12:46, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Possible hoax?

Kalloor appears to be a WP:HOAX. Created August 31, 2005, not subatantially altered since. Only other inbound link is Shri Datta Venkata Sai Temple, itself made in 2009 and turning up no non-Wikipedia mirrors. It's possibly I'm missing something and these were just not translated properly from one of the many languages used in India. However, the lack of... anything on Kalloor, along with spurious claims of the apostle Thomas being killed there -- itself not supported by Thomas the Apostle. While Kalloor does appear to be a given name in India, the claims about the family name's origins are not backed up by any sources. As these also existed at the same time as the spurious claims of the city, it's very likely all of that is hoax too. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:09, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Created by an IP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/65.120.153.207 who also created Thrikkannamangal, a village which probably exists but it has a large unreferenced section on 'places of worship' that merits a review and possible blanking / moving to talk page. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:10, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Would anyone here be interested in reformatting this article so it's not in broken-up wikitables anymore? It's difficult to edit in this form, and I don't think it's really following the guidance at MOS:TABLES. -- asilvering (talk) 19:50, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
