[edit] Page title

Koyamutthoor? Why has this page been moved? Koyamutthoor gets 4 Google hits, compared to 309,000 for Coimbatore. Angela. 08:44, May 2, 2004 (UTC)

An anon user tried to move it back using cut and paste so I've merged the page histories back together, and returned it to this title (Coimbatore) as there was no explanation for the move. Angela. 09:42, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Now OK

Dear Angela it is fine now. Thanks for avoiding confusing names. I like your wit..ie ref no of google searches for the term!

[edit] Educational Institutions

• Its been mentioned that there are many colleges in coimbatore but no seperate section is devoted to education. I'll try to get as much

info about colleges and make a new section for it. The article seems biased towards TNAU.

• The other name for coimbatore like "koyamuthur" and "kovai" can be mentioned in the intro section

[edit] more info needed

On history, demographics,industry, cuisine etc. Would love to make it equal to chennai page. Arunkrishnan 11:08, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Go ahead and make it a featured article!

[edit] Improvements

This entire article is incoherent nonsense. This page needs more information about the history and culture of Coimbatore and less information about how well the city is suited for IT outsourcing. Parts of the page have even been degaded into cheap advertising.
I would like to see this develop into an authoritative and useful article,like the Chennai page. Will try to push it in that direction as much as I can.

I took a stab at improving the grammar and tone in the introduction paragraph and the History section. However there was almost nothing there for the period after India's indpendence. Someone who is interested in the subject should fill that out a bit. WmLGann 14:45, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured Article

Coimbatore should be made a Featured article, like the Chennai and Mumbai ones.

Sure, you're welcome to bring it up to the mark. I can help you with small formatting needs, but you've to bring the content with proper citations. -- Sundar ^{\talk \contribs} 04:51, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How many language

It appears strange: in how many languages one will write the name of the article - one, two or all languages of India. --Bhadani 15:59, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Legend has it that coimbatore was originally known as "Koni-amman-putthur".

[edit] Coimbatore Exporters/Manufactures - Some of them

• - Some exporters/manufacturers of Coimbatore listed here
