Bastar state → Bastar State — Fix capitalization. See other XXX State in Category:Indian Princely States.--TopoChecker (talk) 03:05, 20 January 2011 (UTC) comment by banned editor

• Oppose The entity was never known as Bastar State, which is suggestive of a state in the Republic of India. State is a descriptor here, not part of the title, and capitalisation is inappropriate. Arguably, the article should be at Bastar (state), Bastar (princely state) or Princely State of Bastar. In fact, anything but Bastar State. Skinsmoke (talk) 12:34, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

• The five proposals follow Hyderabad State, which was both, a princely state and a state of the Union. princely is wrong for several of these articles, since they also contain info about the time before the British arrived and called them princely, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject India#Princely states of India.

• The Imperial Gazetteer of India http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/ enter "bastar state" see all three results as "Bastar State". TopoChecker (talk) 18:53, 23 January 2011 (UTC) comment by banned editor
