message: Hi,
I agree that users should not vandalize this page. One of the branches of RBI is more appropriate. I am editing that. Also there is no citation for the line," The Hindi language spoken by people of kanpur is the purest form of Hindi." In fact having lived here and in lucknow, I know that is not true. Removing that line. Also Kanpur was the economic hub of UP. Now its Noida and Ghaziabad.Would like to proof read the article a bit too. Would do that later. Good work Bobby.

An IPP address for IIT Kanpur has edited the article Kanpur and added a famous personality Aditya Kumar Tiwari which is not known to old Kanpurites. I found user:Adityakt in wikipedia user list who is a freshman at your institute.
This is to advice that Wikipedia is serious knowledge. Please dont put inappropriate links.

message: This is the English wikipedia. Someone should amend the map to read Kanpur in English only, and not Hindi. Furthermore, I suspect we should call the war of 1857 what it is: a mutiny. Common knowledge dictates that the occurrences of 1857 were not a "war of independence".

Hi Kamil,
It is not "Hindi creeping in" as you have tried to suggest. These are the names in local scripts. It is NOT just Hindi, if you could see and understand, there is Urdu label also.  Furthermore, if you are really interested in knowing what the MUTINY or WAR should be called, please go through the relevant "article" or its "Talk" and join the debate there.

The Co-Ordinates mentioned for Kanpur are pretty out of place.
They Should ideally be near/around:

Longitude: 80°19'4.29"E
I have used Google Earth to verify the same.
If some one has the exact co-ordiante, then p.s. change the ones mentioned in WikiPedia.

Sorry I had to update your comments. Talk page does give you the liberty, but not beyond a limit, you still cannot be offensive to millions staying in the same city. By your language, it appears you also have roots there. May I ask what you have done to improve the situation (besides saying shers while getting drunk next to a gutter, if you insist on so)!
Apologies for being a bit rude, though I dont stay there any more. I am sure I have seen even worse places in world.

message: Kanpur has a had a much glorious past which needs a mention. 
Kanpur having a strategic position close to jhansi and being a hub of military establishment had a bigger involvement in India's first war of independece. The inhumane treatment of Indians by General James O'Neil at Allahabad and Banaras invited the wrath of the crowd on the English which escalated into a massacre of innocents which was sad. 
Nana Sahib, Tantia Tope, Jwala Prasad and Azimullah Khan were the gallant fighters who spearheaded the revolt of 1857. The Boodha Bargad (Banyan Tree) at Nanarao Park is a symbol of the sacrifices of our freedon fighters with 144 of them hanged on the very tree.
I hope these more serious facts could get a mention in the article rather instances like Murray company is conveniently pronounced 'Mari' which bears no relevance to the cities past, present or future.

Apart from these mills, Kanpur is only place in entire India which have 5 ordnance factories

message: Add:- Cawnporeriders (The Cawnpore Riders a group of cycling enthusiasts based in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The goal of the club is to promote and encourage bicycling in our community for all levels of cyclists. Non-members are invited to join any of the rides offered.  From weekly rides to scheduled events to event support we are involved in a wide range of cycling activities. We would like to invite you to join the Cawnpore Riders (Kanpur cycling club). There is no better way to meet other cyclists and join some great rides. The mission of our not-for-profit recreational organization is to promote and sponsor bicycling activities in Kanpur. Riding a bicycle is an activity beneficial both to the health and the environment. It improves a person's physical fitness and endurance. Moreover, it is usually an outdoor activity, which is in the benefit of people as they get fresh air.
Riding your bicycle can help build muscle, eliminate fat, strengthen your legs, lower blood pressure and increase endurance. Cycling has also been proven to be an extremely effective way to alleviate stress, reduce anxiety, clear your mind and improve your mood. Riding a bike, as with many types of aerobic exercise can improve sleep and make an individual more heart healthy too. Those who incorporate daily exercise (like cycling) into their routine often live longer.
 Cycling requires no fossil fuel and, therefore, no harmful vehicle emissions or smog are released into the air when a person is riding his or her bicycle. Opting to use your bicycle a few times a week, instead of your car, is one of the simplest ways to lower your environmental footprint. Ravishashtri (talk) 10:05, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

message: Please change the "Kanpur Police Headquarters" in the primary collage to "City Kotwali" or "Nagar Kotwali" because, that is a police station (an old police station, which in India is called "Kotwali") and it is what it's name is. It is not the headquarters. The Kanpur Police Headquarters is the whole 'Police Line' area of Civil Lines. 
Please also change (in the same collage) "Civil Lines District" to just "Civil Lines". Just omit the "District", because it is not a district. In India, a district is an administrative sub-division within a state. Civil Lines itself is in the district of Urban Kanpur (called Kanpur City, or officially Kanpur Nagar). 
Since, the "Manchester" nickname is not something official but colloquial; being a resident of the city, I suggest that "Manchester of the India" be changed to "Manchester of the East". Firstly because, it is grammatically very incorrect. Should have been "Manchester of India". Secondly, "Manchester of India" name is used prominently for Ahmedabad. And "Manchester of the East" is what used by the residents and in general sense, as the nickname of the city. I can tell because I was born here and have lived here for my whole life until now.
The district administration information is also very-very old. For example, Mr. Mohanty who is named as the Divisional Commissioner; has been transferred months ago. Here is the updated administration (the ones I know) as of April 19th, 2020:
Divisional Commissioner                                   - Dr. Sudhir M. Bobde, IAS
District Magistrate                                       - Dr. Brahmadev Ram Tiwari, IAS
Additional Director General, Kanpur Zone                  - Prem Prakash, IPS
Inspector General, Kanpur Range                           - Mohit Agarwal, IPS
Senior Superintendent of Police, Kanpur Nagar/Kanpur City - Anant Dev Tiwari, IPS
Also, the DIG before the Senior Superintendent of Police should be removed, as both are separate posts. Also, since the article is just about the 'City of Kanpur', I believe Divisional Commissioner, ADG, IG, DIG should be removed from the table, and even from the article if possible. Because, these aren't the posts of the city, but of greater administrative divisions...of which Kanpur is seat. Or better, a section should be added in the article informing that the city serves as a seat for many bigger administrative divisions, and these posts should be shifted there.

message: Why the infobox - which supposedly is about a municipal corporation - is listing among the local leaders the district magistrate and the divisional commissioner too? They should be mentioned in Kanpur Nagar District and Kanpur Division respectively, not here. The same is true for the police leaders, who run local branches of the Uttar Pradesh Police, like the Kanpur Police.
I understand that the jurisdiction of those authorities extends over Kanpur, but the same can be said for Uttar Pradesh or the national goverment: should Yogi and Modi be added to the list too? The page refers to the municipal corporation, it's not a "who's who in Kanpur" list.
I propose to mention only mayor and municipal commissioner in the infobox, and resort the subsections of the "Government and politics" section: the "Civic administration" one should be first, and the "General administration" should go second and be renamed, maybe, "Metropolitan administration". --5.91.29.251 (talk) 08:26, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
