Snipped from "Do"
Someone's first person, rather vague recommendation. Good luck on finding Suraj or Billu.. --Ravikiran 14:51, 26 February 2006 (EST)
- If you want to see a couple of happy smiling faces and need some help getting to know India (without being ripped off) you'll be lucky to meet Suraj and Billu (who drives an auto rickshaw)... I reckon if you ask around in Connaught Place someone will know where they are! They're the best thing that CP has to offer!!
This article...
...contains a lot of advertising and lacks mode of style at present. Someone ought to do something about it. I'm sorry I'm not doing it myself, don't want to spend precious chilean internet café money on it... Is there anyone out there with some spare time? - Fridday 20:20, 11 July 2006 (EDT)
- I agree it needs some care & attention, but do you have anything specific in mind? I'm not sure what "advertising" you're refering to. Majnoona 21:58, 11 July 2006 (EDT)
- Sorry about my general and vague accusations. What do you think about this:
- Asian Guest House, 14 Scindia House, 2nd. Floor, Kasturba Gandhi Marg, Connaught Place, New Delhi 110001 - Phones: 91-11-23313393 / 23314658 / 23310229 / 23313663. Tariff range From: Single Occupancy non air-conditioned room for INR 400 [USD 9 - AUD 12 - EURO 7.5 - AED 32.5] to Double Occupancy air-conditioned room with cable TV for INR 800* [USD 18 - AUD 24 - EURO 15 - AED 65]. The place to stay while visiting Delhi/ New Delhi in nice clean rooms with homely atmosphere and a helpful staff, besides it being so very centrally located.
- I'm also a little concerned with the Sagar- entry under "South Indian" in the Eat secion. -- Fridday 16:31, 14 July 2006 (EDT)
- Sorry about my general and vague accusations. What do you think about this:
- The Asian Guest House listing doesn't seem too ad-ish, maybe a little more detail than needed. I'll go ahead and tighten up that last sentence so it's a little more useful and a little less touting. In general, we are recommending places by including them in the guides so there's something to be said for mentioning specificly what's good about a place. But both your examples can prolly be toned down a little. Lemme know if you have more comments -- or feel free to plunge forward and edit it yourself (it doesn't take any longer than explaining what you want changed on the talk page!). Majnoona 21:12, 14 July 2006 (EDT)
- Maybe I was wrong. I had a quick look and it felt like the guesthouse owners had just copied and pasted it from their standard ad, but I guess that might not be the case. I don't want to edit the description of a guesthouse I have never visited and only explained it on the talk-page because I felt I was asked to. I'll concentrate on countries I'm in at present from now on. -- Fridday 13:28, 15 July 2006 (EDT)
- Missing the point here 'guesthouse owners had just copied and pasted from their standard ad'... can you please elaborate on it...

Districts
I'm pretty sure this qualifies as a huge city. Anyone want to comment before I try and district-ify it? Majnoona 22:02, 11 July 2006 (EDT)
Stab at districts:
- North Delhi - around Delhi University, Shah Jahanabad
- South Delhi - Santushti, Greater Kailash, Sainik Farms, Dilli Haat, Vasant Vihar,
- East Delhi - Laxmi Nagar, Preet vihar, Ito, Mayur Vihar
- West Delhi - Rajouri, Punjabi Bagh
- Central Delhi - Khan Market, Paharganj
Majnoona 22:13, 11 July 2006 (EDT)
- Great initiative! Good luck. Would be conveinient if the list of districts specified in which "Old Delhi" and Connaught place were located. -- Fridday 18:26, 14 July 2006 (EDT)
- Err, can you just edit my list and add them? I haven't been to Delhi in a long time... Majnoona 21:15, 14 July 2006 (EDT)
- Ehm, I'm sorry, but I don't know where to put them... Haven't been to Delhi in a couple of years myself... I just felt a little confused when confronted with the list and I remember the Old delhi and connaught circus areas as quite important and well known among travellers. Sorry if I implied to know more about Delhi than I actually do. -- Fridday 13:21, 15 July 2006 (EDT)
- No problem! Any and all contributions are always appreciated... we'll get there little-by-little! Majnoona 13:34, 15 July 2006 (EDT)
- EAST DELHI area is Trans Jamuna, ITO doesnot come in East Delhi

Delhi vs New Delhi?
Should this article be moved to "Delhi", as the article already seems to cover more than just the strictly defined legal capital? I note that LP's guide is also called simply "Delhi". Jpatokal 20:36, 15 July 2006 (EDT)
