Creating and adding Thiruvakkarai village edit

I have created the Thiruvakkarai village. Feel free to move it to Tiruvakkarai as both s[ellings have been used online. Please use the one that is official, though south Indina spellings have tendency to include the "h" with t. Please note, this village is on the peripheri of Auroville and it is the home of National Fossil Wood Park and Chandramouleeswar temple.^[1]^[2] I will make changes to the fossil park article to mention the village name to make its location specific.

I have made the following improvements, please discuss here is there is disagreement and help me improve the article.

Newly created article Thiruvakkarai village added with references. Please note, geological Survey of India website uses the spelling Tiruvakkarai here but google map uses a different spelling with "h" here Google map of the Fossil Park You are welcome to move the village and fossil park article to whichever is more accepted name with or without H in thiruvakkarai, I have no opinion or objection either way.
Google map inserted in the external links,
Gallery has been edited to remove syntax errors (gallery was not visible before) and moved towards the bottom of the article
infobox added, with map
more references added to improve the reference quality
see also has been colomunized to optimize the space

Thanks Being.human (talk)

Thank you. FYI, Google maps are unnecessary. The coords link is sufficient. As for the spelling, like the word Tamil itself, not all instances use Th; Tirupati and Tindivanam (mentioned in this article) are prime examples. Unless a case can be made for the park being commonly spelt with a Th, I think it's best to stick with the spelling used in the entrance board.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 13:42, 18 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
