message: Why was the article not changed to "Bikram Sambat" (instead of "Bikram Samwat"), since the article primarily deals with the calendar of that name in Nepal anyway? --SameerKhan 19:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Name change 

message: well the default name is Vikram Samvat, nepali speakers cannot pronounce "va" consistently. Bikram samvat is incorrect. either Bikram Sambat or Vikram Samvat should be written, even bengalis and biharis cannot pronounce "va" correctly. king vikramadita is seldomly written bikramaditya hence the default name of the calendar should be "vikram samvat".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.70.73.82 (talk) 19:09, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: why

message: Why this article list this calendar as lunar calendar? This is a solar calendar and not a lunar calendar.
If it is lunar calendar; can someone explain how it can have months with 31 or 32 days?
Also please explain if it is lunar calendar how it is kept in sync with Gregorian Calendar?

thread_title:  Lunar Calendar? 

message: Coins and inscriptions of the "Malava" are found in the region around Ujjain. In memory of their victory over the Saka invaders, an era first known as the Krita and Malava samvat, and later on as the Vikram samvat, was founded in 57 BC.
At least the fact that Malava inscriptions were the first to use the Vikram Samvat era, needs to be mentioned in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.105.180.19 (talk) 07:04, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: There is a discrepancy between the month numbers listed here and those used for writing dates based on the Vikram Samvat calendar. In Nepal if a receipt shows the date 2073/1/1 the month "1" corresponds with would be Baishakh.http://www.ashesh.com.np/nepali-date-converter.php This appears to be correctly recorded on the Baishakh month page. Is there a reason for the month numbering discrepancy?

::It should be noted that the Nepali Vikram Sambat was only started in 1901 AD, where as the Indian Vikram Samvat is the classical one which has been in use for many centuries and have been used in thousands of historical books and inscriptions, and is still widely used. It is inappropriate to make the Nepali Vikram Samvat as the main topic in the article.

thread_title:  Title Change 

message: I do not believe the article should be merged with Nepal Sambat. Vikram Samvat covers many regions in India. Nepal Sambat covers a separate country and calendar.

thread_title:  Proposed merger  

message: Why is this a separate dedicated page talking about exactly identical subject as another one? Following wikipedia page is dedicated to exactly identical subject, both of of these pages should be merged into each other.

message: The article is completely confusing. It will be hard to a reader to know what applies to the classical Vikram Samvat, and what applied to the modern reformed Nepali Bikram Samvat. Malaiya (talk) 20:39, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
