[edit] Unreferenced & NPOV

This article, as mentioned in the previous tag, needs rewriting to avoid looking like an essay or a review. Facts only please; no point of views.

And as for the facts, support them with credible resources. Think about your audience--it's the whole world. Noone will appreciate blatant promotion without credible sources (newspapers, journals, books, etc.) to back it up. Perhaps someone from the current batch, or an alumnus, can work on it. Keep the tags until you are satisfied with the page. They will make sure that if not you, someone else will work on the page.

For a good article, you can refer to educational institutions in the list of Featured Articles in Wikipedia. s1 14:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My views

I'm not good at using wikipedia so pardon me for being so wikipedia-illiterate.

1.I feel apart from the association of being a cultural festival held at IIT Roorkee there is no other connection i.e. participation, sponsorships,judges,prizes all that are supposed to be in a festival.

2.We are quite serious about this festival as you must have seen a separate web page(for those who want to clarify please google on domain registration). We could have had one in our institute site, but a separate web page is to show the level of Thomso. So a separate wiki page is justified as much.

I wish you would learn that this is not an event but much more than an event. It is A festival, occurs on yearly basis in which a lot of people are eagerly waiting for. For a community of students in Uttarakhand, U.P., Delhi it's like a musical festival or a film festival. Also I invite you to Thomso. Please do take your time off and come here, then maybe you can actually decide for yourself. Until then it would be wise to enjoy the festival instead of discussing for such a small thing. There are a lot of important issues than this which need to be addressed.

I hope you see the light now
