Welcome
Hi, Bhadani. Welcome! Thank you for adding to the Chennai page and others! It's ok to link to existing content like Wikipedia, but I agree that when it's to a place or content we want to have here, a red link or stub might be better. I hope that content for the local bay or sister city would eventually be filled in here. It is more likely that the content will be added here, if we identify the need with red links or the stub template. But, if you want to refer to more information that is not really about places, for instance Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy or the history of cotton mills, could appropriately refer to another site with more information on that topic. My personal preference is for original content wherever possible. This is one of the differences between Wikipedia and here. We are often talking about places that we know. So original content and personal perceptions are ok. (Although opinions, like restaurant reviews, should be identified as opinion rather than fact.) Also, the sub-pages (accommodations, media, restaurants, etc.) are just suggestions and should be changed as appropriate for each place. Thanks again for contributing! I look forward to seeing more content from you. --CocoaZen 14:05, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Welcome from me too! (I've been busy with job applications for a few days, which is why I didn't notice you sooner.) I'm pleased that my city is on your list of useful links.

My main connexion with India is my late Aunt Grace Patterson, who spent over 30 years as a Christian teacher in places such as Darjeeling and Sikkim.

Best wishes!
