State Maps
To help learn the state maps, can we replace the 🇮🇳 with, etc?    Tabletop (talk) 23:56, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * That suggestion would be better than displaying the Indian flag. This is redundant per list title. Of course, the templates would need to be created first.Mjroots (talk) 11:02, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Noted inconsistencies with puncuation used in entries.
I've noted that someone has taken the time to use em dashes in sections of this article, while others use colon, creating some inconsistencies that I believe make the article look a little on the sloppy side.

I've not had much luck trying to find Wikipedia policy on the correct usages, and wonder if there's a valid "one-or-the-other" to clean up the article.

Any person have suggestions on how I should proceed?

 * Additionally, what is the correct version of date usage? There are two different variations used throughout the article, and I would like to (1) recognize the usage correctly for the country of India, and (2) manage some consistency within the article.


 * Dating format examples: (A)  1 January 2012 -or- (B) January 1, 2012

21 February 1974, Morabad
Can anybody locate this "Morabad"? -- Reinhard Dietrich (talk) 13:36, 28 August 2014 (UTC) The correct spelling is Moradabad. It is a fairly large city in Uttar Pradesh state. I remember this accident from 1974. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.161.88.26 (talk) 17:45, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
