Talk:Parimal Garden

Paraphrasing
, can you point to the exact text which need rewriting? -Nizil (talk) 07:47, 2 August 2023 (UTC)


 * There are artifacts of machine translation left in the current version of the article, and they match with the google translation output, which is why i tagged it. e.g. "presented an idea of establishing the city parks with great distinction." is a weird sentence in English, but i guess it is better in the original Gujarati. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:59, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm the one who created this article and have physically visited the place. Near the entrance of garden, there is a "board" which has history about the garden. If you zoom in (with scroll wheel) enough you'll be able to spot exact sentence which you mentioned above.
 * It seems like every reporter (including me) just took content from it, and published. I'm no expert at legal stuff but I think it should be fair to use that sentence (or paragraph) from board. Rahilarious (talk) 21:21, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The board uses the phrase "parks of great distinction" which works better than "parks with great distinction". I've changed the sentence in the article. I recommend that you compare the english translation provided by google with the article's text, and change things to write them in your own words. It's sometimes fine to quote short pieces of text, but the source needs to be present, and I don't think an image uploaded to google maps will do for that.
 * Anyway, good luck with your DYK. I hope implementing my suggestion, above, will get it approved faster. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:57, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I was unaware that the text was taken from a board of the garden. I have removed/reworded the close paraphrase part. Please have a look. If anything else need change, please let me know. Regards,- Nizil (talk) 05:43, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Queries

 * Oldest park in India: I added that as reference said so but there is no corroborating reference so I have decided to remove it.✅
 * Ambawadi: Added note in the article clarifying. ✅
 * Banyan trees live very long and it is not unusual but long-living banyan trees in the middle of the city are very uncommon. So I had decided to make it DYK hook. As you pointed out in TOI ref that the tree is 80-year-old while other references mention that it is 400-year-old. There is no other way to decide which one is correct. So I removed both claims from the article with a note.✅
 * I will nominate new hook for DYK.
