 Goa - the present day name of this small state on the Western coast of India was given by Portuguese who invaded Goa in the year 1510 AD. The name of a town which is known as Old Goa today was earlier known as Goy. After commencement of Portuguese Inquisition in 1536, Portuguese Jews who fled to Portuguese Goa settled in the town with native non-Jews whom they called Goy (meaning non-jews). The name Goy is derived from Hebrew/(Yiddish) language. Yiddish is a German language spoken mainly by Jews in eastern and Central Europe. 157.33.124.79 (talk) 19:26, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Goa is also famous for Carnival. It is the most famous festival in the state and has been celebrated since the 18th century as a precursor to the abstinence of Lent. The 'Carnaval' is exclusive and unique to Goa, and was introduced by the Portuguese who ruled over Goa for over five hundred years. JacintaCarolina (talk) 19:23, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: Carnival is not mentioned in the Culture of Goa article; what's here should be the highlights of that article. Further, you have not provided any reliable sources —C.Fred (talk) 19:30, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Incorrect location

Goa is not on the southwestern coast of India. It is in Western India; see page ii of ‘Native Officialdom in Western India’ by Abhijit Siredesai.

Please refer to the Western India Wikipedia page for internal wiki consistency regarding this. In addition, there is no mention of Goa in the South India page and therefore the description of it being on the southwestern coast, especially without a reliable citation, is inaccurate and requires a correction. Goingoan (talk) 19:54, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

It's the southernmost state in Western India, so I don't think southwest coast is inaccurate in a general geographic description. —C.Fred (talk) 20:01, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

No reliable published or peer reviewed documents describe it as being located in southwestern India. For example, Odisha is the southernmost state in Eastern India, but is not labelled as being in southeastern India. I have reverted the edit to reflect the original source.

"No reliable published or peer reviewed documents describe it as being located in southwestern India." Ah yes, arguing from the negative. How could anyone disprove you? They'd have to read every reliable source and peer-reviewed document... Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:33, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

@C.Fred and Cyphoidbomb: The descriptor "southwestern coast" was as per the consensus at WP:INB, according to which we agreed to follow geographical definitions for Indian states and UTs as written in Britannica, instead of government definitions since government definitions change depending on the organization. Goingoan has been disruptively going against that consensus since then. See diff, diff and now today. Also note that "southwestern coast" described geographically is not the same as southern India. The Andhra Pradesh article also uses similar geographical identifier, and its northern areas are far above Goa latitude-wise. Restoring. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 08:54, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

The Britannica entry for this does not cite a reliable source for southwestern. Furthermore, the Britannica entry is more a less a copy of an old Wikipedia article for Goa (even the image for a house from Goa is originally from Wikipedia).

I suggest the removal of this circular reference. Goingoan (talk) 16:11, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

this line citation needed: The 1619 Se Cathedral at Old Goa is an example of Portuguese architecture and is one of the largest churches in Asia.

(line update ):- The Se Cathedral was built in 1619, but it has been renovated and restored several times since then.

so can i change this ?

 Question: Do you mean replace the current text with what you wrote after "line update"? Actualcpscm (talk) 12:03, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
