Hello, I'm Toddy1. On English-language Wikipedia, we use commonly recognisable English-language names. This is explained at WP:COMMONNAME. The commonly used name in English is Ganges, so changing it to "Ganga" in the article on Allahabad was unhelpful. Other languages have other names. But here on English-language Wikipedia, we use the English-language name. Toddy1 (talk) 04:14, 20 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Hahaha! The name is, was, and always has been Ganga. Ganges was just an anglicised form used by the British, who for obvious reasons couldn't pronounce Ganga. You would not find the name 'Ganges' in any primary source. All of us in India, irrespective of the language we speak, call the river as 'Ganga'. Hence, it's not an English-language name as you say; it's just an anglicised form of real name. There's a conspicuous difference, if you wish to see it. But I know you don't, so don't bother. Have a nice day! नीलाभ (talk) 05:45, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Allahabad, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Toddy1 (talk) 04:19, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
