How can we help in cleaning up the page? Like, is there any section which is not relevent in the article or are there any other specific issue? --bkris 20:30, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Here are the major points I see:

1. The information needs to be better organized: for example, an important statement such as "The town itself gets its name from the lake - "Yeri (lake)" + "Kaadu (forest)" should be in the introduction rather than buried in a subsection.
2. There are many improperly capitalized words, such as "Coffee Plantations" and "Orange Groves."
3. Obscure phrases such as "Ooty of the poor" need their significance explained; I'm also unsure what "the then Collector" means in context.
4. Many statements appear to be of little if any factual value because they are based on personal observations or inadequately summarize other resources: "The island is home to a couple of deers and peacocks," and "surrounded by greenery all around."
5. The "Places of interest" section should be bulleted, and the names in plain text rather than bold.
6. An overall copyedit needs to be done for proper punctuation.

Fix these problems and you're off to a very good start. Postdlf 23:19, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
