[edit] Cleaning up this article

I have begun cleaning up this article extensively. There were many unnecessary parts to it, and they should not be added again. In addition, the tone of this article is hardly enyclopaedic. Please refrain from writing this as if it were to be read from a touristy handbook. I understand there may be important information that has been left out. Please do not hesitate to add it where it is needed, but please use utmost discretion. Abhishek 17:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Excellent work! I am doing the same thing with the Orissa article. I think Ekamra Kanan should be added to the list of tourist attractions. I have some beautiful pics of Ekamra kanan and some other parts of BBSR that I will upload within a day or two. SDas 19:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Again, please refrain from adding unnecessary educational institutions to this page. If you would like to help on this page, start by editing the tone of the article. It currently reads like a tourists guide, not an encyclopedia. If you feel that your institute of education is of note, make an article about it, and link to it in this article. Thanks.

Wikipedia is NOT for promotional purposes. Kindly stop bumping Kalinga Institute of Industrial Tech (KIIT) to the top of the list of educational institutions. Earlier I had noticed that it was even written in upper case letters so that it stands out from the rest.

NIS is of national importance, and that is why I put is back in the top.

[edit] Move request

Originally at Talk:Bhubaneswar, Orissa state's capital city

Bhubaneswar is the state capital of Orissa in eastern India. Now there have been many ocassions of misspelling teh word, by adding an h, and it is understandable given the varied and many languages in India and thus for varied pronounciation. In anycase, the offcial name is Bhubaneswar.

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 19:04, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Please read before adding information to the EDUCATION

• Colleges, universities, institutions are SUB-SECTIONS, not individual sections.
• Please do not list the same college three or four times under different redundant headings
• Having a notable section separately and listing only a few colleges is POV
• Subsections for colleges read like advertisements. Also they are unnecessary and expanded the article to great lengths. Information on individual colleges should be on the COLLEGE wiki-page.
• External links should be at the end of the article in footnotes, notes, see also, or external links sections NOT in the middle of the page.
• PLEASE DO NOT BUMP YOUR OWN SCHOOL OR UNIVERSITY UP. I am Oriya myself and I want to see this page get featured someday but it will take hard-work not a desire to boast and publicize.
