Talk:Yelamanchili mandal

Copy edit of December 4, 2017.

This is my first Wikipedia edit. This article was suggested by Wikipedia. I tried to constrain my edits to style and grammar, since I am from the United States and have no knowledge of the Indian cultural and geographic concepts contained in this article. For this reason also, I request comment on a few points:

• Would Indians more commonly refer to the place as "Yelamanchili mandal" or simply "Yelamanchili"? Is the wording "the Yelamanchili mandal" at the beginning of the article correct? Should mandal be capitalized? (The original draft did contain frequent capitalization errors.)
• The article repeatedly divides population numbers into male and female. I left this intact, only rewording for easier reading, however, this practice does seem very strange to me. Is this common and expected for Wikipedia articles about India?
• Respecting the "Work Profile" section, many non-Indians are not likely to understand the difference between "main workers" and "marginal workers" or those engaged in "other works", or why "cultivators" should be counted differently from "agricultural laborers". For this reason, I enclosed these terms from the census report in quotation marks.
• What is the "household industry"? Are these people homemakers?
• The original draft contained the unclear phrase "aided and private schools". I removed it because I do not know what it means and therefore cannot word it correctly. Do private schools aid the government in providing education, or are "aided" and "private" two different kinds of schools? What does this mean?
