Not done The article already states "Chennai city is governed by the Greater Chennai Corporation (formerly "Corporation of Madras"), which was established in 1688" - Arjayay (talk) 13:36, 4 February 2024 (UTC)An easy typo: In the etymology section it should clearly say 1639 and not 1939.

In 1914 the German cruiser Emden bombarded the oil tanks in Madras and set them aflame, killing some civilians and damaging structures in the city. The ship got away completely unscathed despite being shelled from shore batteries in Madras. Someone with more Wikipedia expertise could add this as I am inexperienced.

Earwig detects a 95% similarity to CDN, but with the highlighted text being there (far) before 2018, it's likely them copying off here. Skipping that, the next largest is an 18.7% similarity to a "hubert.herald.nl" source, which is unlikely. Plagiarism check pass . 750h+ 09:20, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
