Map wrongly labeled

The map shows Chennai in the middle of Tamil Nadu, which is clearly wrong. Could somebody please edit the image file? I would, but I don't have the knowhow. Gokul Madhavan 14:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I think I'm going to have to quick-fail this article. There are too many unsourced sentences (see Etymology, Administration and politics, and Culture sections (which all have unsourced sentences), as well as Notable people, (which is almost entirely unsourced)).

Additionally, there are many grammar issues; a quick scan gives examples such as "The Notable [sic] colleges in the area...", "Muzhukku every year in October...", etc. and other listing and tone problems; I recommend requesting a copyedit from the Guild of Copy Editors before re-nominating, which would significantly benefit this article.

I understand this is disappointing, and I apologies for the big wait. Thanks for the work you've done on this, GA or not. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions on the article talk page with a ping to me or on my personal talk. Best, GoldRomean (talk) 03:09, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
