Talk:Lal Bagh

Conflicts/ Clean Up
Under "External Links", the link "Lalbagh Protests" seems to link to a purely comercial site, hocking hair care products and baldness cures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrishibbard7 (talk • contribs) 23:03, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

The Gate (North / South / East / West) information is inaccurate. needs to be corrected

The protests for encroachment (eating into -- need appropriate term) of lalbagh (by Bangalore Metro Construction is now complete and has reached its end)

There is an existing problem of Wastes thrown into lalbagh ; vendors / hawkers - increasing littering lalbagh, and the wastes being burnt inside lalbage (damaging plant life), a group calling themselves litter-free lalbagh  link: www.litterfreelalbagh.com is making a current fight in this regard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.34.252.146 (talk) 18:25, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

There is an error: The article says that the foundation stone for the glasshouse was laid by Prince Albert Victor in 1898 but according to his Wikipedia page he died in 1892. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.212.180.130 (talk) 10:20, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Style
The article has some unnecessary info about where the gates lead to making it seem like a travel guide, can this be removed please? I will do it in case no one has any issues.

Lal Bagh → Lalbagh Botanical Garden – Proper name, see here. There are also a number of other Lalbagh places in south Asia. Gryffindor (talk) 17:14, 28 May 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. Natg 19 (talk) 00:51, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Support clearly more consistent. Capitals00 (talk) 07:03, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Lal bagh qualifies as WP:COMMONNAME, nearly all the sources refer it as Lal Bagh. Other places named lal bagh has zero impact on this place's common name.--Ab207 (talk) 14:08, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Appears to be common name. A huge number of incoming wiklinks. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:39, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose as article name is in-accordance with WP:COMMONNAME ~ Amkgp ✉  06:11, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME.--Ortizesp (talk) 06:17, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Regarding watch tower and kempegowda
The intro para suggests that the Watch tower was built by Kempegowda II, but other places suggest link the watch tower to Kempegowda I (which i have since removed). Since no citation has been added in this regard, wanted to know if anyone had any credible sources about the origin of the watch tower so that I can add the citation.

Thanks! --ShellPandey (talk) 07:15, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * There really is no credible source, the recent book on Lal Bagh by Vijay Thiruvady is NOT a reliable source, it is self-published to start with. A reliable book would cite their primary sources. There is simply NO historian claiming this, nor is there any documentary evidence for kemputhota and the other claims made in the article. There are a mainly political factors involved in ascribing the origin to Kempegowda, it would appear. Shyamal (talk) 04:09, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
