[edit] Geo Coordinates

I changed the Geo in the metadata tag from Coordinates: 30°44′N, 70°29′E to Coordinates: 30°44′N, 79°29′E because I stumbled upon this wiki tag near Tanusa city in Punjab,Pakistan in Google Earth. But yet I could not fix one problem that is when you look at the coordinates in the top right corner of the web page you will see to sets of coordinates one on top of each other, will you please fix this? -Timir Patel Feb 15th 2007

MZMcBride fixed the problem with being able to read the coordinates. I've used his fix on a few other pages as well. If you see any more that need fixing, let me know. cheers, ॐ Priyanath talk 21:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Badrinathpuri

Is Badrinathpuri same as Badrinath? If it is, then the information there has to be merged into this article. ~ srini 15:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I guess they are both the same, as this news article shows: http://www.tribuneindia.com/1999/99sep25/head6.htm Balajiviswanathan 20:12, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

With confirmation from User:Balajiviswanathan and User:Musicshop13 at Talk:Badrinathpuri, I have completed the merge operation. -srini 11:32, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Changes to Badrinath article

Feel free to discuss changes that I've made to the article, and my explanation of them. With the recent split of Badrinath into Badrinath (town) and Badrinath temple, there were parts of the temple article that should have stayed in the Badrinath town article.

I moved the stories, history, and legends of Badrinath and the Badrinath region from the temple article to the town article. The temple article should have only what pertains specifically to the temple: the temple, the temple complex, and temple worship.

In addition, I've added a small section in the Badrinath article about the temple - because Badrinath temple is by far the most significant and visited feature in the town. Any significant feature in a town needs a section in that town's article about that feature. But Badrinath temple is still the main article about the temple. The new temple section here is small, but I think it should be a bit larger to reflect the importance of the temple to the town. I also added a tag at the beginning of the Badrinath temple section pointing to the main temple article thus:

Main article: Badrinath temple

Additionally, both articles need good references. I hope to come up with some in the next couple of weeks. If you have any, please add them, thanks. ॐ Priyanath 03:35, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
