Talk:Baramulla

Third largest city??
'''Mythology has it that Vishnu took the shape of of Vraha (boar) and hit the bank of the lake with a Mulla (in this case a molar tooth) and thus created a passage to drain the lake. Therefore the genuine name of this place a Vrahamulla (in modern Kashmiri Varmull).'''

How can Baramulla be the third largest city if it is listed after Srinagar, Jammu and Anantnag?? Denisarona (talk) 17:39, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

October 1947
You have reverted most of my edits today. Here is my justification for the edits:
 * The first paragraph, regarding Sheikh Abdullah, has nothing to do with Baramulla, and should be removed. You have added some sources, which are neither WP:RS nor do they fully support the content anyway.
 * And, you say If you want to name the tribe be more specific. Pashtuns is an ethnicity, not a "tribe". Is it known that the majority of the invaders were Mahsuds? Do you haven an RS for it? Even if they were a majority, there were others too, weren't they? Why this obsession with Mahsuds?
 * And there is a route given: Rawalpindi-Murree-Muzaffarabad. Is there an RS for it? Is it relevant to Baramulla?
 * Operation Gulmarg is still a theory; there are no RS that attest it. It cannot be used without attribution to sources. Once again, that term is not relevant to this article.

That entire section is an extremely poor shape. Baramulla deserves better than this.

I encourage you to clean it up and make it more encyclopedic and use better quality sources. Pinging in case he is interested to help. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:03, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Invalid source on demography
Provided I didn't miss something, the source used for demography data is invalid.

The main infobox (top of the article) claims the popoulation is 1015503 "as per the 2011 consensus" (uncited). Moreover, searching for the city in the consensus doesn't yield any results ("No matching records found"). Additionally, the demographics section claims the population is 200k. The wording also makes it seem as if it's directly behind three cities; Crinagar, Jammu, and Anantnag. However, with the listed 200k population, that doesn't add up because Srinagar has a population of 1.18 million in the 2011 consensus, Jammu is listed with 502 thousand, and Anantnag is listed with about 110 thousand.

To make things more interesting, the section for the state the city is in doesn't actually list Baramulla (I cannot link the page because it's blacklisted by Wikipedia. You can find it by going to the 2011 consensus, searching for Jammu, and clicking on the region name). Additionally, the 2001 census linked in the first paragraph lists a city called "Baramula" (I'm not sure if the missing L is significant) with a population of about 70k. If you've kept up, that means there's so far 3 vastly different population numbers, two of which are unsourced and one of which may be for another city.

I also can't track down the city with either of the two other names listed in the section in the consensus. In addition, the website links appears to be dead (archive.org cross-reference from 2016). -- OliviaZoe0 ❤️  (She/her) (talk ) 11:37, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * As per the District Census Handbook, page 28, the population of the city is 71,434 in 2011. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:35, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
