Special case?

Nearly no author seems to write jallikattu with the 'j' in lower case. I just checked ngram. What is to be done here? King Prithviraj II (talk) 11:48, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

@King Prithviraj II: Do we normally conform to widespread ignorance? That'd be pretty much my counter-argument. We don't capitalise bullfighting or rodeo or race car driving or boxing, or hockey. Why would Jallikattu be any different? It is not a person, a place or a trademark as far as we know. Also, there are reliable sources that prefer the lowercase, like The Hindu, Times of India, Firstpost, etc. Note also that even in matters of direct quotations, we retain editorial options to repair typos and remove "ums" and "hmms", as necessary. My point being, we are not required to blindly adhere to what other people do if it doesn't make sense. In this case, capitalising jallikattu makes little grammatical sense.

I was leaning towards following the proper grammar conventions, ie. 'j' in lower case, I just wanted to see what other users thought of this. Regards, King Prithviraj II (talk) 17:40, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Telugu definition?

@Ripapart: re: this edit, it's unclear why we would include a Telugu definition of jallikattu in a section where we're explaining the etymology of the Tamil word. I've removed it for now, but if you feel strongly about its inclusion, please explain further so we can figure out whether or not it belongs in that section and if it does, how it should intuitively be presented. It doesn't quite make sense to put it in the middle of the existing content. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:17, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

The root of the words jalli and kattu have origin in telugu borrowed into tamil. Ripapart (talk) 10:03, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
