Talk:Roorkee

Untitled
Hmm...there seems to be two different versions of this on the same page? I'm not really qualified to decide which to use, but I think the second may be better. Help! Balletgirl313 16:50, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

What's the other page? Also, this article seems pretty well wikified, should we remove the stub? (I'm still pretty new at this.) --AntiEntropy 19:05, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It seems like this article is actually about the India Institute of Technology, not about the town of Roorkee. Most of it should be moved to an article with that title.

Some Changes
Made some changes to the student life section. Mainly added more information and corrected some old one.

New Info edited but still needs fixing of an orphan frangment in its end
Found new unedited info at the end of Education subsection. Did some copy editing and made it the last new subsection that still needs review for info-accuracy and some cleanup. A local User may help please. Wiki dr mahmad (talk) 20:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:INDIA Banner/Uttarakhand workgroup Addition
Note: WP India Project Banner with Uttarakhand workgroup parameters was added to this article talk page because the article falls under Category:Uttarakhand or its subcategories. Should you feel this addition is inappropriate, please undo my changes and update/remove the relavent categories to the article --  TinuCherian  (Wanna Talk?) - 13:55, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Educational institutions
The article contains endless lists of schools and colleges. Such kind of lists are unwanted on Wikipedia. The information should better be provided in the form of prose. I am unable to do this. As a first step, I want to propose to reduce the institutions mentioned to those for which a link can be provided. If the institution has neither an article on Wikipedia nor its own website, it should also not have a place in this list. No need to mention every little school at every corner.

 * I see no objections. So I will implement the steps proposed when I find the time. T om ea s y T C 12:35, 14 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Along with some other copy edits, I made culled down the name-dropping list of colleges and schools. Still, the section is not more than a list of names of institutions, which is discouraged by Wikipedia. If you want to improve the article, try to add information and transform the lists into prose with notable, verifyable content about these institutions. If you want to extend the list by an institution you consider notable, make sure that you provide a reference for this and wiki-link it if possible. T om ea s y T C 13:32, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Once again, I cleaned up thoroughly the list of educational institutions. There seems to be desire here to list all of them, or perhaps at least those which people have personally. The bar for inclusion hangs very low: a functioning website or a Wikipedia article about it. It shows that these criteria limit the size of the list to an acceptable length. The optimum length would certainly be even shorter. T om ea s y T C 12:43, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Climate date may be incorrect
The climate date may be incorrect because after seeing 3 different sources, they are fairly similar, but are different from what's in the article now. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 12:21, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
