Height[edit]

Please understand that Jog is the higest untired water fall in Asia. Water fall database does not rank untired water falls. It also cosiders falls that flow like a stream from hill. Thus saying Jog falls is 8th heighest is incorrect and does injustice to its beauty.

Injustice to beauty? Sorry, we're here to give facts and not judgments on subjective matters like beauty. Lynch 7 12:40, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is't Jog heighest plunge falls in Asia? ~rAGU (talk)

What is real?[edit]

First of all, I had never heard of these falls, and came here only by chance because I had been at User:Sarvagnya's user page. They are beautiful! Now I have to say some things about the article, only some of which I can fix.

The informal tone lent to the article by the use of the 2nd person in the Cause for Concern section makes it difficult for me to ascertain the genuineness of what is written. When the article says, If you happen to ask any of the local people what happened to the falls, they would tell you that the authorities open the dam only during weekends, when there are a lot of tourists to view it, I cannot tell if the locals would tell you this because it is actually true, or if it is because they are playing a prank on the tourists. I know that, here in the US, there are many rivers that are "turned on and off" for the benefit of tourists (often to allow for rafting), and I have no reason to doubt that this sort of thing would be done in other countries. My point is merely that, if this is true, then the article needs to abandon the use of the 2nd person (which is bad form, anyway) and write, Local people frequently need to explain to tourists who wonder why the falls are so small that the river's flow is blocked except on weekends, when authorities release it for the benefit of tourists, or something like that. So could somebody clear this up? Many thanks. Unschool 05:17, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the "Cause for Concern" section to "Change in Flow". I saw no reason why the information in that section constituted a "Cause for Concern". Unschool 05:22, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Jog being relatively remote and also because tourism department does not have more information the fact has to be learnt by word of mouth. It is true that it only opens on Sunday in summer. This is obvious because ther is a dam before water reaches the falls. In rainy season gates of the dam are opened when there is too much rain to let excess water out and hence more glorious falls. True the article needs polishing. I will put some time. Thanks. 72.137.199.238 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 01:52, 5 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Jogfalls under Uttar Kannada ( North Canara ) District. Only view point under Shivamogga District. VaibhavUG (talk) 17:25, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously[edit]

Is this article seriously going to remain like this? Are lines such as: "...is a slab of rock projecting over the verge of the gulf, by lying down on which and peering over, the best view is obtained of the appalling abyss from above, rendered more striking by the continual flight across it of myriads of rock pigeons, which find a congenial home in the face of the cliffs." written in the encyclopedic style? Can we have a discussion and get rid of this and make this article read more like an article than a high school kid's mediocre attempt at a creative writing essay? Thanks.
