Talk:Indore/Archive 1

What else can be added?
The Indore article is getting better now, thanks to you. I think the article should also include Indore Health Service and details about major hospitals. Let me know if you guys think its relevant so we can add something related to this.

Another important aspect is about the cost of living, real estate etc. that is an important piece of information if someone wants to know about, or move to this city. Please suggest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashishszone (talk • contribs) 19:12, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup tag put up on the page
I feel that with the list of software companies and articles on coaching centres, this page is beginning to show signs of transforming itself into a yellow page, which I sincerely believe Wikipedia is not. This is setting a very bad precedent where in the future we would be seeing articles like Grocery Shops in Indore and Restaurants in Indore. I wanted to clean up this mess myself, but thought we should first discuss on what is to be allowed and what not.

Furthermore, I have found that articles on Educational Institutes are written with very high emotional involvement and clearly not written with neutrality. Although its not a critical issue and can be tolerated for a while, in the long run this should be removed. So why not do it now. This also can be done by anyone, but let's discuss it first.

Some examples are as follows:
 * 1) IIPS claims its India's leading technical and management institution for teaching and research, but does not provide any verifiable source for this statement. Same case with ACMV's article.
 * 2) Malwa Institute Of Technology is also not not upto the mark with unverifiable claims.
 * 3) Other minor involvements like quality education, noble profession, etc. are best avoided.

==POV in terms of places to

I agree. I am a resident of Indore and I feel that the information on Indore seems to be biased.

Viveksoley


 * The list of schools and colleges is too long. Some of the old and well known higher education institutions can have their own pages and added to Category:Universities_and_colleges_in_Indore. Also, the individual institute pages (for example, IIM-I or St. Paul's School) will link to Indore but not the other way round. The list of eminent people needs to go away. Cpbaherwani 04:37, 24 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The list of eminent people can be moved to a separate article as in Notable citizens of Chicago. This will remove the clutter from Indore city page. Cpbaherwani 21:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Added Notable citizens of Indore and links to new article in "See also" and "Eminent people..." section. Can we remove the "Eminent people..." section now? Cpbaherwani 02:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Expansion Tag
Please try and expand the article under following heads:
 * Law and Government
 * Geography
 * Demographics
 * Neighbourhood
 * Major industries
 * Sites of interest

I also want that the sub-sections on colleges and schools should be replaced by a list only, with relevant link to Wikipedia/external pages.

-Ambuj Saxena (talk) 11:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC) Expasion of culture is also needed as Indore is not only commercial capital but also Cultural Capital of State

The listing of the schools colleges and eminent people must be arranged in alphabetical order Viveksoley 13:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Page should be moved back
This page should be moved back to Indore, and the disambig list should be moved to Indore (disambiguation) which can be accessed from this page. Almost all people who type "Indore" are looking for the city and not the associated district, division, or British residency. In fact, they may not even have to be disambiguated at all, as they are mentioned in the introduction. --Schzmo 14:46, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Fully agree and that's done. Vjdchauhan 13:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC).
 * Hi Vjdchauhan, I added description to disambiguation page. The Indore city page shows heading as "Indore, India", how do we change it to "Indore"? Is it because Indore, India still links to the same page? Cpbaherwani 19:00, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Pls use move tab there at the top. Vjdchauhan 13:22, 25 December 2006 (UTC).

Promotion of shops rather than description of food
The last section under the title "Food" appear to be Promotion of shops rather than description of food. Adding names like Anna's Pan Shop, Laxmi Vijay Tea house, GuruKripa, etc. is business promotion.

Viveksoley 18:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

POV in 'Places of Interest
Definately not enclopedic. Take for example: Kajligarh - Nearly 20 kms towards Khandwa on Khandwa road, its a very small old ruined fort situated near to a beautiful valley & small waterfall. Its worth watching during & after the rainy season. An Ideal one day outing spot which is yet unknown to even most of the Indorites This reads more like a bad travel guide than anything. I'd like to devote some time to sorting this article out, but I'm not sure which parts are even legitimate at all, as per Vivesoley, above, as well as descriptions of places such as the one above. I think lots of 'citation needed' tags are also necessary? Ishaana 15:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

New Article/Section suggestion
If we are to remain un-biased an article/section about concerns/disadvantages about Indore should be included as well.

For example:

1. Slow implementation of Infrastructural Plans compared to competitor cities like Pune, Ahmedabad, Chandigrah.. etc.

2. Less expenditure on Infrastructure which is vital for a commercial capital to sustain growth.

3. Indore still remain comparatively backward in terms of personal expression.

4. Lack of proper enforcement of traffic regulations makes driving an unpleasant experience.

5. Ambitious plans like Crystal IT Park and BRTS are long awaiting completion due to lack of political will.

6. Indore airport is poorly connected to Major cities of the country like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Calcutta, and Chennai. Plans to have an active International airport have been in discussion for a very long time now but to no conclusion.

I have been born and brought up in Indore, and I love the city. But, we should try to include all aspects relating to Indore, including the drawbacks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anupams123 (talk • contribs) 07:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:INDIA Banner/Madhya Pradesh workgroup Addition
WP India with Madhya Pradesh workgroup parameters was added to this article talk page because the article falls under Category:Madhya Pradesh or one of its subcategories. Should you feel this addition is inappropriate, please undo my changes and update/remove the irrelavent categories to the article  --  TinuCherian  (Wanna Talk?) - 12:42, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

List of Hotels and Resorts
Can we add a list of Mojor hotels (5, 4, 3 star) and resorts in and around Indore. Example: Sayaji, Fortune Landmark, Lemon Tree, Sarover Portico, Shreemaya

Websites for most of these hotels are available and can be hyperlinked. This info will be helpful for people travelling to the city. 20:20, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * No, we cannot add a list of "mojor" hotels, because this is NOT a travel guide. Jasepl (talk) 18:38, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * rightly said, we cant write any thing which is not Notable as per Guidelines, citing references is must. (Abutorsam007 (talk) 19:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC)).

Multiple issues
This page has a lot of data which should not have been here, like distances to major cities, shops etc- in fact it seems to violate every thing in WP:NOT. I am sure a city like Indore deserves a much better page which hopefully will make it to WP:FA I will be removing these superfluous content if there is no objection trakesht (talk) 10:46, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Please do remove all the nonsense. I have done some already, but a lot still needs to be removed. Besides, the article is no longer in English - it's like some strange language with a few English words thrown in.Jasepl (talk) 18:40, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * yes, you are right, a lot of irrelevant things are here. i will try to improve article, you just guide me, where i need to incorporate changes, the strange language you are telling about is Hinglish(Hindi+English) :) (Abutorsam007 (talk) 19:15, 31 August 2009 (UTC)).


 * PLease don't remove Cleanup templates, as article is prone to advertising, & personal conflicts

(Abutorsam007 (talk) 13:37, 4 September 2009 (UTC))

I was born and raised in this amazing city of central India and it was an opportunity to give my contribution to make my city look good. Currently the article looks more of a classified page. If you know the local culture of the city it’s not at all surprising to see so many local vendors and institutions name popping in the article. Currently a lot of relevant and important information is missing and even the introduction of the city is cluttered and not up to the mark. I have tried to give correct information for both past and present and hence making article more relevant and informative.

Have a Look
Thanks for reverting Vandalism on Indore Article, but see this one : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indore&diff=312014338&oldid=312002234 the reference had been removed stating it as Vandalism."" "" I think placing references is not a Vandalism. Is this reference not to be included as per Wiki citing & referencing Policies.Please Assist. (Abutorsam007 (talk) 16:08, 5 September 2009 (UTC))
 * It shouldn't be vandalism nor is it a spam/bad link. That reference is from a government source and it relates to the subject at hand. Elockid ( Talk·Contribs ) 22:08, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

I had tagged the article with because the article is so long and it has very less references. Thus, I thought that the article will catch user's attention who work on adding references. If I have done something wrong by doing so, please notify me. -- Srin  ivas  14:11, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Indore airport image is inaccurate
The image used for Indore airport is way too "futuristic". Its not the real thing right. It should wither be completely removed or replaced with a real image. Anupams123 (talk) 11:41, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Image removed :) ( Abu Torsam   07:07, 22 September 2009 (UTC))

Pic of Karnataka Bus in Indore Bus
The photo of low floor bus (Volvo) shown in this article is of Karnataka ( BMTC).. Kindly update it with the Indore Bus Pic
 * Wrong Image Removed ( Abu Torsam   18:02, 22 September 2009 (UTC))

Yeshwant Club image
I do not see a relevance of the Yeshwant Club, Indore image in any of the topics. It has not been referred to in any part of the article. It can be removed as well. Anupams123 (talk) 10:30, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeshwant club image removed, Yeshwant Indore.jpg but can be added later on if propeerly related to article to any of topics. Most suitable relationship can be established via, Indore sports topics, as Yeshwant club is one prominent sports club in city.(    Abu Torsam    04:16, 5 October 2009 (UTC))

Malls(trade and commerce)
The Edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indore&oldid=318834786 states & adds some Malls in city but its an Advertising Entity at that point of time, but we can add these malls  in proper way so that no advertising appears, after we rewrite that section TRADE & COMMERCE, including all major markets like siyaganj, rajwada, e.t.c. all stated in neutral form.(    Abu Torsam    19:37, 9 October 2009 (UTC))

Education in Indore
I have created a new Article exclusively for Education in Indore. Its quite relevent as Indore is the education hub of Central India. I will be monitoring it daily and making sure that it is updated and stays neutral (no adverts and stuff). Kindly revirew and include it as a link to Indore main article. brtw.. its still under development. Anupams123 (talk) 20:29, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
 * A Very Good Initiative.(   Abu Torsam    07:58, 10 October 2009 (UTC))
 * Note: No more addition to section Indore in Main Indore Article, just add to Education in Indore, whatever is needed. Please Assist.(    Abu Torsam    08:36, 10 October 2009 (UTC))

Places of interest
WP:NOT says that wikipedia should not be written like a tourist guide and should only mention prominent places- hence the places of interest needs to go. However rajwada deserves a separate article in my opinion. Can some one create an article on it before that section is removed? I had searched some time ago for sources, but could not find many.. trakesht (talk) 03:19, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Regarding Places of interest, I added the intro. about Malls in Indore thinking they might be good places of interest, As i have gone through earlier history of Indore Article. But people have added info. about malls & multiplex like this one http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indore&oldid=352298564 which only leads to advertisement(though user is right in his perception about adding these places) & disorientation of article from wikipedi'a policies. So from now please don't add such information We can count the appearance of Treasure Island Maal as its first mall of city(but with proper references), &  I had added up some prominenet places including the references. More citations to be added, Also i have created article on Rajwada,Need your participation & contribution in making it a good article. (    Abu Torsam    21:39, 27 March 2010 (UTC))

I would like to add some information about the Bapna family and their role in the History of Indore
I am a distant relative and I would like to add some information on this family and its role in the History of Indore.

I have historical record in the form of independent book sources and newspaper sources to verify the info.

Any comments ?

Is there some reason why Khanzadas are not mentioned in the history section? Is there another place called Indore, and hence my confusion? - Sitush (talk) 13:45, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Article Restructuring and removal of unnecessary sections
