message: It seems that large amounts of text in this article are taken verbatim from other websites.  I've begun removing copyvio information but the more I look, the more I find.  I'd hate to flag the whole article for speedy deletion but I'm not sure how much work I'm willing to do at this point and how much of the article will actually be left afterward.  I'm going to consult some admins to see what I should do. OlYellerTalktome 22:04, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Now that I've found that almost the entire article was a copyvio, I'm not really sure what to do.  I've posted on the Wikiproject India that this page needs help.  I haven't touched any of the pictures.  They're great.  OlYellerTalktome 23:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Links #2-8 are mirrors; they all provide exact copies of the Wikipedia text. Link #1 may or may not be contain Wikipedia text, so I haven't restored the content which is a duplicate of that website. Links #9-10 are not mirrors, so this Wikipedia article should not contain text from them. I've restored the vast majority of the content in the article because most of the links above are mirrors of Wikipedia but defer to your judgment as to whether or not any of the stuff I've restored are copyvios of the three non-mirror links I've mentioned above.

replies: text: I suspect that the "District Administration" information is also pasted, but I have not found a definitive source, so I have left it alone. Otherwise, this is all I've been able to find that I do not have reason to believe was copied from Wikipedia.

However, license is incompatible with Wikipedia, as it requires that the government be notified and that the material be reproduced accurately (not modified). (See  for instance.)

thread_title: Language

message: My favorite rock album of all time is, believe it or not, Woman's Gotta Have It by Cornershop. Its fantastic opening song is called "6 A.M. Jullandar Shere" (and the last song is called "7:20 A.M. Jullandar Shere", a reprise of the first one).
I love listening to that song, and the rest of the album, but i never really understood its title. Now maybe i finally found - could it be that the "Jullandar" is a different spelling of the name of this city of Jalandhar? And what is "Shere"?
I am not just curios about the song - if "Jullandar" is a possible spelling for this city, then it should be mentioned somewhere. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 10:18, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, Jullundar is a possible misspelling of Jalandhar, and "Shere" is a possible respelling of the Hindi/Urdu/Persian word usually spelled "Sher", meaning "lion". A "Jalandhar Sher" may be a lion from Jalandhar, literal or metaphorical. As for the spelling: since even before you asked the question, the article has carried, in the lead paragraph, the words "and it was also known as Jullundur in British times". This is already too much… if all possible English manglings of every Indian word were included in articles, they would look quite ridiculous ("Jalandar, Jalandhar,  Jullandar, Jullundur, Jullundhar, Jullandhar, Jullundher, Jullunder,…" ad infinitum). The article on Hinduism doesn't mention "Hindoo" anywhere, nor does our article on Gandhi mention the spelling "Ghandi". And so on. Shreevatsa (talk) 10:48, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

message: In the history section it is stated that Jalandhar was conquered by the Ghaznavids between 1058 and 1080 ce. This is incorrect information, as stated in the source it was c. 1070 ce that the battle outside jalandhar ensued and the battles outcome is not known which neither indicates defeat or victory hence 'conquered' should be removed and the rest reworded. It also states in the source that jalandhar is not mentioned in Ghaznavid annals hence defeat can not be guaranteed which should also be added. Trigarta (talk) 01:40, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Question: Can you please more specific about the source you're referring to? It would also help if you could provide the page numbers or quotes from it. M.Bitton (talk) 02:27, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

text: Thanks. I will leave a direct link to an accessible source for others to verify. M.Bitton (talk) 18:51, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

text: The source in question states: "it seems not improbable that the reference given points to the fall of Jalandhar before the Muhammadan arms, and the loss by the Bajas of Trigarta of their possessions on the plains which may have taken place about a.d. 1070". I have edited the article to more accurately reflect the unclear nature of the event. However, the source does seem to indicate that a successful conquest is a strong possibility.
