[edit] Hatred & Religion

No mention of recent bombings or racial hatred... a strange ommission. CCKKAB

[edit] Format

I have made the images smaller to improve the format of the article and to help with easy readability. This also removes gaps in the text. The article looks neater. Someone complained that the pictures were meant to be seen. You can still see the images, if you want to see more click the image. Also someones blind revert also deleted some of the other contribs that I added to the article in the sports section. With the previous format, I believe the images took up a lot of room and in some cases overlaped the article as well. I also think the person who reverted my format may have uploaded some of the images so there might be some personal bias involved on his behalf. --Ad@m.J.W.C. 00:31, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

There is no edit war just trying to improve format, I think images at this size fit in quite well--Ad@m.J.W.C. 07:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Another thing, the images are no smaller than what you would see in a gallery. Why dont we transfer them to a gallery at the bottom of the article.--Ad@m.J.W.C. 12:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Please find me a featured article (which represents what all articles are supposed to be like) that has such small images...these images are TOO small!... they are meant to be seen easily. Nikkul 00:11, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Bhagya Nagaram'

'Hyderabad is also known as Bhagya Nagaram' by whome? I'm placing a cite tag to this statement... --hydkat 11:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

By Whom? It is known as Bhagya Nagaram among the sons-of-soil of Andhra Pradesh i.e. Telugus. Practically every telugu/andhri who had schooling in Andhra Pradesh knows it. I have nonetheless provided a citation. Satvahan (talk) 23:50, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Are you saying that Bhagya Nagaram is the Telegu name for the city, also about this edit, I believed that the analogy with Istanbul that was stated in your edit was incorrect, both Byzantium and Constantinople are very well known. The name change to Istanbul occurred only in 1930. However Bhagya Nagaram seems a little more complex, the etymology section states a "popular theory suggests that after founding the city, Quli Qutb Shah fell in love with and married a local Banjara girl known as Bhagyamathi and named this city after her, Bhagya Nagaram. ... Upon her conversion to Islam, Bhagyamathi changed her name to Hyder Mahal and the new city's name was correspondingly changed [to] Hyderabad." Was this actually its former name or folk etymology? Pahari Sahib 22:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

First of all Satvahan, Bhagyanagaram and Hyderabad were both names taken from the same person. This fact is mentioned in the etymology section. Besides it was called Bhagyanagaram only for a few years before Bhagmati converted and changed her name. This is also mentioned in the article. As far as your sons-of-soil theory is concerned, I have never come across any of my friends from AP reffering to it as Bhagyanagaram--Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 04:26, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peacock Terms Tag

Please provide the exact words that may be considered as peacock terms and whether their removal is required. This will help in the removal of the peacock terms tag.Abhishekmathur (talk) 21:58, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Maybe City of Nizams and City of Pearls can be regarded as peacock terms, as there is no explanation as to why these terms can be applied to Hyderabad? Satvahan (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:09, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article too long

The Article covers several sections too extensively despite the sections having their own separate articles. For example the Information technology section has too many company names in it as well as rumors! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhishekmathur (talk • contribs) 01:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
