 * I have removed his name, and reason is in the edit summary . --Bhadani 14:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Removal of red/unlinked
I have removed everyone from the list who is either unlinked or redlinked (except for the ancient people) per WP:NLIST. In order to appear on a list like this, we need either a wikipage or a reference that verifies that the person is notable and lived in Bihar--without that, a person cannot be included. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:12, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Order of people
Actually, the correct way to order each sublist is alphabetically--it is the standard procedure for all lists of this type (except in cases where there's some other indisputable logical ordering, like a Chief Minister section where chronological makes more sense). I don't have the patience right now to fix this, but if you just alphabetize each of the lists, then there's no need to get involved in arguments about who has "precedence".

Suggested addition
name of great freedom fighter of bihar dr. maghfoor ahmad ajazi should be added 117.197.102.92 (talk) 16:30, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * In order to add a person, we need a source that 1) verifies he was from Bihar, and 2) that he is an important/notable person. Without such sources, the name cannot be added. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:54, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

 * First, you didn't actually put the name here; second, does the person have a Wikipedia page? And does that page contain a reference that verifies the person is from Bihar? If not, they can't be added here. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:16, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Pandit Dhanraj Sharma was a nationalist and the first jail goer from Bihar in Independence movement. Please check his details. His contribution on the freedom movement is even revered by Sri Krishna Sinha. He was closest of people to Subash Chandra Bose. Please read about his activities mentioned By Amiya Bose in his website. Pandit Dhanraj Sharma's contribution & stature is above most of his time mentioned in your list. He defeated Rajender Prasad in elections held within Congress Party. He sacked Simon Commision from Bihar, which resulted in winding up of Simon Commision from India. He a ferocious leader from whom Britishers were also scared. He was a man who made Britishers leave the train in pre independent era if he boarded it. My request is Please add his name in your list immediately. His clear mention & presence is already in many of the National museums in Delhi, Kolkata & Patna. The name of his residence even today in Patna is Azad Hind. His residence also served as Subash Chandra Bose's & his own working office for a long time pre-independence. His youngest son Mr Mahesh Sharma joined Iskcon Hare Krishna movement and is a leading Entrepreneur from Bihar. He was also on Board of Big Industrial houses of this country Like Uniworth Group... etc.
