message: 3/8/05 -- Question about accuracy in the history section: article reads "Ranas ruled as hereditary prime ministers until 1948 when the British colony of India achieved independence." The issue is that India obtained independence in 1947. So is the error here simply a mistake in the year, or did the Ranas actually rule til 1948, which is actually shortly after Indian independence?

message: Anonymous user 165.21.154.10 and Chan Han Xiang have added links to "Ethnics of Nepal". This a questionable use of the word "Ethnic". There are "Ethnic Groups", "Ethnolinguistic Groups", "Ethnic Communities" and "Ethnicity" but I don't believe it is correct terminology to refer to the cultural groups of Nepal as "Ethnics". 
In any case, this subject is covered in more detail on the page "Demographics of Nepal" than on the page "Ethnics of Nepal".
I would like to delete links from the "Nepal" page to "Ethnics of Nepal" and redirect the "Ethnics of Nepal" page to "Demographics of Nepal". I hope this will not offend Anonymous user 165.21.154.10 or Chan Han Xiang.

message: hi
i am saroj khanl from nepal
i have sent a long email to nichalp regarding some missing information.hope that will be considered.some pictures of natural landscape and ethnic populations is missing gravely.
----
I have pointed out some errors,please go through them for a revision:
1.the GDP and per capita income are extremely high ;per capita  is hardly
$300
2.the history of nepal is almost a lacklustre block:
       the ancient history of gopalas,mahispalas are missing.
       lichhavy dynasty is ill presented-the golden era of nepali history.
       unification of nepal was a perilious task yet was presented simply.
       the anglo nepal war and sugauli treaty are lacking some vital
information (I had made 2 pages about these topics and is available
in wikipedia).not even PM bhimsen thapa is mentioned.
        nepalese Ranas helped british whole heartedly also in the 2nd
world war.
 
3.economy:
       agriculture makes 60% of GDP,contrinbution of services is not 40%
       remittances yield more than $1 billion (estimate).
 
4.culture:
        several things lack seriously for example the religious harmony
among the people,specially between hindus and buuddhists as much
as they share common temples and worship common dieties.
        culture is diverse as is ethnic tribes,the northern cultures
influenced by tibetan and the southern by indian .
         nepali marriage is of arranged pattern, polygamy is banned by law
and polyandry is prevalent in some tribes (eg Dolpo).divorce rate
is extremely low.
         special rituals of nwaran,pasni and bratabandha to neonate,5
month infant and preadolescent boys is performed,gupha for
prepubertal girls.
         bel bibaha is a marriage ceremony between a prepubertal girl and
a tree(bel) to earn sacredness.
 
5.holidays:
       dashain 15 days (mid autumn) and tihar 5 days (late autumn)
        there is no independence day but Martyr's day in feb 18.
       teej (lady's ) festval is an attractive holiday in late summer.

message: Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute#Nepal
I am a person of Nepalese origin. I checked 6 passports dating from 1989 to 2003 and found that the official name given to the country is simply "Nepal" in all of them. Also the citizenship certificates also write the country as "Nepal".
With all due respect to the first contributor, we also have to straighten the facts. Firstly,  "Nepal" was an officially recognized name for decades. Secondly, all soveraign parliament has now unanimously proclaimed that the King's reference be removed from all names of state institutions (country being the highest of them all). To add "kingdom of" in this context is no more than a matter of controversy. Note that CIA Fact Book run by Government of USA with full diplomatic relationship with Nepal always referred this country as simply Nepal as long as we can remember; and even the Royalist government of Nepal did not dispute that instead it issued passports and citizenship cirtificates to all its citizens with the name "Nepal". Why in this changed context, when people are overwhelmly opposed to the king, do we want to attach a controversial suffix?  Please stick with Nepal, which cannot be anything other than the truth. A beloved encyclopedia like Wikipedia should not drown into "lowly" political controversies. It should stick to generally undisputed facts and take a high and honourable road.

replies: text: Nice question. There is no definite answer. Some schools of thought consider that it comes from the Nepar tribe of Kirats who were the earliest Newars settled in the valley. These tribes were matriarchial which is illustrated in the fact that the earliest Newa deities are Ajima or mother goddesses. After the gradual Sanskritization and especially the influence of Pali under Ashoka, the Sanskrit/Pali term for "Nepar" became "Nepal" (the r sound has found to be replaced by l in all the inscriptions of the time eg-"lani" for "rani" etc). Later on, after trade with Tibetans, the name of place of Nepars changed to Ne-pa (roughly corresponding to southern land) in Nepal Bhasa. Nepars who later ruled by Indo-Aryan people like Lichchavi and Malla who considered Sanskrit as the formal language. Hence, they called the langauge of Nepal (from Sanskrit) as Nepal Bhasa and used the same term in all their inscriptions. So, the original name of the language got lost and the Sanskritized form of "Nepal Bhasa" remained. So, basically Nepa and Nepal came from Nepar word root. --Eukesh 10:42, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

This arrangement has been marked by increasing instability, both in the parliament and, since 1996, throughout large swathes of the country that have been fought over by Maoist insurgents. The Maoists have sought to overthrow the monarchy and establish their own form of republic; this has led to a civil war in which more than 12,000 people have died. On the pretext of quashing the insurgents, who now control about seventy percent of the country, the king unilaterally declared a "state of emergency" early in 2005, closing down the parliament and assuming all executive powers."

message: I have tried to correct some grave factual errors in this article. Somebody reinserts them again.
(I altso fixed up missing and wrong links to nepalese parties. Interestingly enough, nobody has reverted this and reinstated the broken and missing links!)
Okay. If this is supposed to be wrong (in such a generally praised article) well, then it is supposed to be wrong.
Ill just repeat here that:
* To state that "the democratic experiment was dissolved in 1959" IS WRONG!
On the contrary, the ONLY free, parliamentary election before 1991 was JUST in the spring of 1959! The result was a majority for the DC, BP Koirala (the legendary big brother of the present PM) was elected prime minister, and his government started (rather timid) reforms.
Not the END, rather the HIGHLIGHT of "the democratic experiment" was in 1959!
* King Mahendras coup d.etat, dissolving parliament and forbidding parties, was NOT in 1959 but on the 15th of december 1960!
* The "partyless Panchayat system" was formally created by the proclamation of a new constitution on  the 16th of december 1962!
* There was NO "Jana Andolan" in 1989! The Jana Andolan (now sometimes called Jana Andolan I, to avoid confusion with the Jana Andolan II of april 2006) started  and finished in the spring of 1990!
*The king had to accept multiparty democracy as a result of the Jana Andolan in the spring of 1990. 
"The Monarchy" dindt, as the article here says, "establish a multiparty parliament in May 1991". This parliament was a result of a free election (the second in Nepals history, after the first one in 1959) called by the coalition government formed in the spring of 1990, after the Jana Andolan,
by Nepali Congress, the alliance of moderate communist parties, and a couple of kings representatives. The parties had a majority in this government, and this was not "etablished by the monarchy" at all.
The person writing this has not been doing his/her homework. THE "FACTS" ARE WRONG! Check any real source, US official documents about the history of Nepal if that is the only things you trust.
THE DATES AND HISTORICAL FACTS I PUT IN ARE THE CORRECT ONES! So WHY does this article HAVE
to contain WRONG dates etc???
Then the following stuff about the year of 2005 is nonsense:
In September 2005, the Maoists declared a three-month unilateral ceasefire which was not reciprocated by the royal government; the latter vowed to defeat the rebels by force. A few weeks later, the government stated that parliamentary elections would be held by 2007 even after the failed municipal elections.
* Point one: The ceasefire was prolonged, it was about 4 months long. I put that in, for some reason it is cut out again.
* Point two: "A few weeks later, the govt stated that parl. elections would be held by 2007 EVEN AFTER THE FAILED MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS."
* A: "The municipal elections" werent held until february 2006! So HOW could the government comment on the parliamentary elections "even after the failed municipal elections" - a few weeks after september 2005?  For the record: Between the start of the ceasefire and the municipal election there was more than 20 weeks! 
*B: How can the poor reader of this rubbish understand what "the failed municipal elections" here refer to? I put in the generally aknowledged facts about this:
+ It was in february 2006
+ It didnt take part in most of the country, only in a few big cities
+ Only small pro-royalist parties took part, none of the parties elected to the last parliament in 1999 (and none of the parties that took part in the last municipal elections in 1997 either)
+ According to press reports (among other things, quoted by US diplomats) only about 20% of the people who could vote, did vote. (In fact, people from the 7-party alliance claimed that the turnout was far below that).
Okay so I put in this, to make the whole thing understandable and factually correct.
Cut out and the old absurd text put in again.
WHY?
WHAT IS THE POINT HERE? IS IT A PRINCIPLE THAT THINGS HAVE TO BE WRONG?
Togrim, user of the Norwegian Wikipedia and writer of over 100 articles about Nepal there 2006-09-29
:Here is one more:
:"Thus India sponsored Tribhuvan as Nepal's new king in 1951, and a new government, mostly comprising the Nepali Congress Party. After years of power wrangling between the king and the government, the democratic experiment was dissolved in 1959, and a "partyless" panchayat system was made to govern Nepal."
:The unsuspecting reader will read this as stating that king Tribhuvan dissolved "the democratic experiment" in 1959, and put the Panchayat system in place instead. However, Tribhuvan died in 1955.  It was his son Mahendra who did these things. And this didnt happen in 1959 either, but in 1960 and 1962.

Adding on this: 
On issue of flag , it is mentioned that Red color signifies Rhododendron, which is not total fact. Instead red signifies blood or bravery or courage. Not just the flower.
Nepal's flag uses red color from centuries, so citing rhododendron as sing of red color is not correct. Yes flower and flag share same color but interpreting just this would be wrong.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rabinesh (talk • contribs) 04:37, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

message: This framing of Shah as a nobleman seems to be a little unclear and imprecise.  If he was a nobleman, that assumes that there was some sort of regional (and united) political establishment that granted him the title. Considering he united much of the region under his rule, why a 'nobleman.' Why wouldn't it be:
"Prithvi Narayah Shah, King of Gorkha, unified the many small kingdoms in the Himalayan valley after taking the throne in 1743."
This is particularly important since the unifying didn't all happen in 1768; it was a process that took many years! It might even be better to use the term that he used to describe himself.  'Nobleman' (as a concept) seems to have started in feudal Europe (totally different context).  Anyone know what Shah called himself?  King? Big daddy? (ok, not really).

message: This is a direct quote under the recent events section:
"The seven parliamentary parties (SPA), with support from the Maoists, arranged a mass uprising against the reign of King Gyanendra. The royal government used various means to quell the uprising. Frustrated by lack of security, jobs and good governance, thousands of people took to the streets to demand that the king renounce power outright, but the royal government turned even more ferocious and continued its atrocities including daytime curfews amid a Maoist blockade. Food shortages hit people so that they prepared to march into the city centre and encircle the royal palace. The security forces turned brutal and the king seemed to think nothing had happened so far. Thousands were injured and 21 people died in the uprising, which was meant to be peaceful but turned violent due to the actions of the government and its vigilantes."
I don't see this paragraph as neutral.  While the paragraphs surrounding it are fine, I take issue with "turned even more ferocious and continued its atrocities," "turned brutal," "the king seemed to think nothing had happened so far," the comment that the people were frustrated not "over government decisions," but instead over "lack of good governance," and the comment that the uprising (note the word choice, an "uprising") was meant to be peaceful but became "violent due to the actions of the government and its vigilantes."  All of these comments kind of red-flag the neutrality for me.
On a seperate note, the diction does not seem to be up to academic standards in this paragraph.  For example, the use of the word "turned" instead of "became" sounds immature, and in any case the word is used redundantly.  Sentences through the paragraph could stand restructuring, as some of them sound somewhat disjointed and not all of them flow fluidly from one to the next.
A section regarding the royal massacre mentions that the official documents told us that then Crown Prince Dipendra wiped out the royal family but then goes on to add that some people believe Gyanendra's son did this. If we are to include gossip in this article then, we might as well add masked men, wrath of the gods and things like that to list of reasons for the massacre.

 Not done: Welcome and thanks for wanting to improve this article. From a quick scan, Sepoy Mutiny (or Sepoy Rebellion, as it is in the article) is a commonly used, non-derogatory term for the Indian Rebellion of 1857. According to that article and the India's First War of Independence (term) article, the term "First War of Independence" is still controversial, even in India. With those facts in mind, the current paragraph seems fine. Celestra (talk) 14:19, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Geography (2nd paragraph) 

message: Like most of the English language speakers/writers, wikipedia also uses Nepalese or Nepali interchangeably to define people of Nepal. But the debate is going on for long time whether people of Nepal should be called Nepalese or Nepali. 
A report by The Kathmandu Post, a leading English daily, has tried to shed in some light on this as below: 
According to historian Tri Ratna Manandhar, the first English-language book about Nepal was "An Account of the Kingdom of Nepaul" (1811) by William J. Kirkpatrick and the second book was by Francis Buchanan Hamilton with a similar title, except Nepaul was now "Nepal" written eight years later. Both books had one thing in common: both the writers were British, and they both used "Nepalese". He noted that perhaps these two books led to the use of Nepalese over the years 
But there are many Nepali historian/writers like Abhi Subedi,Mahesh Chandra Regm and others prefer using Nepali instead of Nepalese. Nepali newspapers like The Kathmandu Post, Nepali Times etc. uses Nepali to describe people of Nepal. Even style book of National Geographic uses Nepali to for a native of Nepal. 
Even if you respect local dialect, i think People of Nepal are called Nepali/Nepalis in Nepali language. 
Wikipedia too is using Nepali and Nepalese interchangeably. Instead of using both, shouldn't Wikipedia use only one adjective for uniformity and to remove ambiguity? If yes, which adjective should it use? In my view: Instead of using Nepalese, it should be using Nepali/Nepalis.

thread_title:  Nepali or Nepalese 

message: I spoke to some UN reprensentatives whilst in Nepal recently (Sep 09) who said that the name Nepal came from a contraction of the two Nepali words "neya" meaning "new" and "pal" meaning era. Thus "Nepal" means "new era".
I can't corroborate this information, but it seem plausible and significantly different to the current Wikipedia explanation to warrant investigation.

message: Newar culture dominates the culture chapter, although Newars are only a few percent of Nepal's population. Since this article is about Nepal as a whole, not just the Kathmandu Valley (historically a Newar stronghold), a more balanced view of Nepali culture is in order.  The article should probably cover Pahari (Hindu) culture first since they are the largest group, with paragraphs on Newar, Magar, Gurung, Thamang, Rai and Limbu chulture in the hills, Bhote and Thakkali culture in the mountains, Tharu culture in the inner terai, and mention of essentially Indian cultures in the outer terai.

message: I have a couple problems with this article. One it makes it seem like India and China are both equal in influcening Nepal when Nepal is more historically and culturally tied to India. Secondly, it gives the impression that the first people were Kirat, which makes no sense, because most of the people that were on the Northern part of the Indian subcontienent were Indo-Aryan. That info can be found here on Wikipedia. But this article cuts out Nepal as if it was always this seperate country, with seperate people, who were seperated cus they were Khirat, and were seperated and influcened slowly by India and China. But no, Nepal, much like Paksitan, and Afghanistan, were all one land of the Aryans along with North India, if you go back far enough. Nepal wasn't divided and then slowly influcned by a India. No it was all one connected land. 71.105.87.54 (talk) 01:10, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nepal was  historically and culturally with India more, and China less. 

message: I found the history part (unification part, under Kingdom of Nepal) a little misleading. Prithvi Narayan Shah started battles against neighboring states right after he became the king (in 1800 BS, 1743? AD) and it took 25 years for him to reach Kathmandu valley, not three years. Takeover of Kathmandu valley was not easy either. We need to remember three battles of Kirtipur which for most of the time was the part of Kantipur (Kathmandu). Yes, the last one was not like the first two. Prithvi Narayan bought weapons from Kashi but no one has ever written he was actually helped by any of the Indian states. Unification/ expansion of the country was continued until the treaty of Sugauli. Its not correct to assume the unification of Nepal was complete once the three states within valley were unified ! Please, write the history correctly. It would also worth mentioning the previous attempts of unification by Mani Mukunda Sen and others (I guess Yaksha Mall too? before he divided the country for his sons)!
And, also Nepal lost newly won areas in the treaty of Sugauli but not the right to recruit her soldiers. Nepal has never been under that type of provisions. Remember all those battles between Bhardars during the period of sugauli treaty to the rise of Jung Bahadur. Most of them involved military power. If it meant the British and Indians were allowed to recruit Nepalese people in their army, it needs to be re-written clearly.

We corrected the text and uploaded in in the commons, but somehow the experts at wikipedia decided to delete it (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_of_Arms_of_Nepal.svg). Its unfortunate that whoever is editing the page on Nepal, clearly has no understanding of Nepali language. As of now I have officially given up trying to correct people who don't care about being correct. Also, @MosheEmes sounds like a typical republican nutcase. If you don't like that line then rephrase it. Because, clearly, on certain issues Nepali constitution and judiciary system is way more "human" than the American's.

message: Until Prithvi Narayan Shah conquered the Kathmandu Valley in the 1760s, Nepa/Nepal/Newar only referred to the Kathmandu Valley. This valley forms only a portion of Nepal today. The name Nepal was then extended from the valley to refer to the entire country created by Prithvi Narayan Shah. The article's take on the history of Nepal combines these two facts which results in the history section before the 1760s only encompassing the history of this valley and not most of the rest of what is today Nepal, much of which was part of numerous empires and kingdoms, many of which had little to do with the Kathmandu Valley. This is especially true of the Medieval period section. There was really no distinction between the kingdoms of what is today's southern Nepal and the Gangetic Plain (in today's Uttar Pradesh and Bihar) so this should be clarified as well.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akhipill (talk • contribs) 04:33, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Its a misconception harbored by many. Kathmandu valley was called Nepal only in Shah and Rana era. Before that, Nepal existed as a country with Kathmandu valley as its central city for a very long time before being divided during the late Malla era. Please read any standard text book about the territory of Nepal during Manadeva or Yakshya Malla (as examples). As opposed to UP or Bihar, southern Nepal was never ruled by Muslims or British (except for 4 districts which were handed back to Nepal by the British).

message: The Federation of National Christians of Nepal said that it could prove from church records that there were more than 2.5 million Christians in the country (i.e. approximately 9.3% of the population), but the final report of the 2011 census, which was published towards the end of last year, recorded just 375,699 or 1.4% of the population. 
The preliminary results of the census, however, which were declared in late September 2011, had put the number of Christians at 2 million. Dr K.B. Rokaya, general secretary of the National Council of Churches of Nepal, said that the enumerators did not visit every house, and when they did, they presumed that anyone with a Hindu name was a Hindu. As a personal example, Dr Rokaya also said: 
"When enumerators came to my house, they asked questions about family members but not about our religion. My wife noticed they had already marked us as Hindus."
An accurate percentage of Christians and other non-Hindus in Nepal is very important as the country’s first elected representatives implement reforms.

message: The geographic division of Nepal is mentioned in this page as Mountain Region, Hills Region and Terai Region. I do not think it is correct. It should have been Himalayan Region, Mountain Region and TeraiRegion. 
We should know the difference of the word mountain and hills. Basically hills are very small compared to mountains. The mountains that lie in Himalayan region and Terai region are so huge, tall and massive that we cannot call them him. It will be like calling a 'Tiger' a 'Cat'.
Also, Himalayas are also mountain but they are special kinds of mountain that lies in between tibet and south indian plateau. Alpes, Andes are also mountains. So we should not be confused with the two distinct region, Himalayan Region and Mountain Region. And we should not take Himalayan Region as the part or subset of Mountain Region in case of geographic division of Nepal.

message: RESTORATION OF THE NATIONAL FLAG OF NEPAL
The national flag of Nepal is very unique in the world. It has deep spiritual meaning that common people do not understand because it was made from Tantric method very long ago by our saints from the blessing of Guru Gorakshanath. To know about the national flag of Nepal, first of all, people must understand what tantra means? 
The world is regulated with the three energies; Yantra (machines / computers), Mantra (Power of words) and Tantra (Cosmic energy drawn with the help of our physical body). And, during Vedic culture our national flag was prepared through Tantric method. This spiritual practice still exists in the Guvaju of Newar community or spiritual masters of Nepal.    
Triangular Shape: The triangular shape represents to trident as used by the God Shiva for destructing evils, ignorance and darkness. For this, the God Shiva receives spiritual support from the three mothers; mother of the earth, mother of the ether and the mother of the universe. Thus, the three points represent to the cosmic power of the three mothers. Next, the moon relays the sun ray to the earth in a triangular shape which stimulates our thought for creativity and lovingness for the nature. 
Three Color:  The three colors; red, blue and white represents the color of our Soul. In fact, we come down to the earth with pure three colors from the universe just before entering mother’s womb. Father and mother’s copulation is just the medium for the growth of the colors. The blue, red and white colors represent protective, destructive and creative qualities respectively. The three colors also represent the intrinsic qualities of human being; Raja, Tama and Sata Guna.  These three colors are the fundamental element of all the living creatures and must be balanced with apt conscience. 
The Sun:  If we look from the Vedic astrology perspective, the Sun is the soul of the Universe and it is the fire and its rays are channeled through the Moon. The Sun is the life-giver to the whole planetary system. He is the King, giver, active, destroyer but for creation. The Sun and male sperm has the same quality; Helium element. The Sun represents the positive (Pingala or Yang polarity) - the father principle and the creator. The 12 cones of the Sun symbol in our national flag represents 12 Zodiac (months) and shows how the Zodiac has ruled the whole non-living and living creatures.  
The Moon:  The Moon does not shine with its own light but reflects the life-giving energy flowing from the Sun. Moon is the water element and represents (Ida or Yin) negative - the mother principle. She is Queen, passive, womb-like, receiver and protecting. She plays the most vital role in nurturing the Mother Nature. The eight cones of the Moon symbol in our national flag replete the power of eight mothers (Asta-matrikas) and the Eight Nagas (Asta Nagas) who have protected all the living creatures. * The four Vedas spread in four direction (4 + 4 = 8) is also the meaning of 8 cones shown in the moon. 
Thus, the Sun has 12 cones + the Moon has 8 cones symbolizing the completeness. In tantric calculation (12+8= 20) number 20 is considered as the complete phenomena. Now, when there is completeness the law of nature works vibrantly, symbiosis in creatures prevails and peace & harmony exists in human beings. This is the real meaning of our original national flag. Therefore, let’s restore our national flag for peace and prosperity of Nepal. 
The present national flag is upside-down. This is the reason why everything is topsy-turvy and the political situation is chaos all the time. No doubt,  Vastu has predominant effect in our daily life. Similarly, the national flag of Nepal is the main Vastu of our country. And, when the main Vastu is not in its proper position then it is foolish to anticipate for peace and order. What happens when we act against the nature? Obviously, madness and chaotic situation just like the present Nepalese are experiencing. It is just like having electric current shut down in a house when the negative positive forces of the flag are kept upside down. In the nature too, The Sun is on top and the moon down. In our ancient temples has the bronze flag with the Sun atop.  Idiots of that time could not change the flag in those temples because of the vibrant swirling energy but they changed in government offices and small temples. Many priests were compelled to hide the original flag and keep the duplicate flag outside. Why was the flag politicized? The dunce leaders of present Nepal can not understand the fact as their mind is occupied by pig-dung. I shall give some evidence when the conscious government asks to me. I have been telling this fact since 2068 “Favorable constitution and political stability in Nepal is impossible unless we restore our original flag.”  Now, the time has come to ponder upon the fact, know the reality and save our nation’s chastity.

replies: text: The request is "please also specify the country as the birth place of lord Buddha" there are several problems with that, not least of all the fact that "the country" did not exist at the time, so it's inaccurate to say that he was born in a country that didn't exist, especially when not all sources agree even on where the birthplace was specifically, so listing a specific location in Wikipedia's voice would be inappropriate. More importantly, however, the article already contains the information you're referring to, and mentions the UNESCO site, so what's being asked is already there. - Aoidh (talk) 12:36, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Though these words are just labels provided to the administrative divisions in the country, choice of a particular word would provide a great deal of clarity. Key difference seen in our neighboring countries: Chinese Government defines provinceshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province which are created with very little autonomy & the Indian Government defines stateshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_and_union_territories_of_India which have a greater degree of autonomy. Chinese Central government can dissolve/define provinces whereas the Indian counterpart needs to take the state in confidence (even though it still has greater deal of power with respect to US Federal govt).
The Nepali word for the division is `प्रदेश` which is translated to English as State. Also, the official translation of the constitution of Nepal defines such divisions as States rather than Provinces (not a single mention). So, I think each and every references to the `provinces` should be converted to `states` to resolve ambiguity.

message: The entire page is rife with bogus claims, fake citations, and, unverified statements. Please add citation needed on all those claims that have not been verified or cited properly.
In 'Ancient' section it has been stated that, "The first inhabitants of Nepal were properly of Dravidian origin whose history predates the onset of the Bronze Age in South Asia (around 3300 BCE), before the coming of other ethnic groups like the Tibeto-Burmans and Indo-Aryans from across the border." I think it should be 'probably' and not 'properly'.
'By 250 BCE, the southern regions came under the influence of the Maurya Empire of North India and parts of Nepal later on became a nominal vassal state under the Gupta Empire in the fourth century CE. Beginning in the third century CE, the Licchavi Kingdom governed the Kathmandu Valley and the region surrounding central Nepal.' There is no citation provided for this. Can you please add 'Citation needed' Or please remove it? 
'By the late eleventh century, southern Nepal came under the influence of the Chalukya dynasty of South India.' Again no citation provided. Citation needed. Or please remove it.
In 'Kingdom of Nepal (1768–2008)' section it has been stated that, 'A dispute with Tibet over the control of mountain passes and inner Tingri valleys of Tibet forced the Qing Emperor of China to start the Sino-Nepali War compelling the Nepali to retreat and pay heavy reparations to Peking.' I think it should be 'compelling the Nepalese' and not Nepali. Nepali is just the language. Nepalese is used to denote the people.
'Madhesis, having supported the East India Company during the war, had their lands gifted to Nepali.' It should be Nepalese here as well. Further the link provided in the citation is fake. Citation needed. Or please remove it.
' In 1923, the United Kingdom and Nepal formally signed an agreement of friendship that superseded the Sugauli Treaty of 1816.' Same fake citation again. Can you please add 'Citation needed' Or please remove it as well?  
'The perpetrator was Crown Prince Dipendra, who committed suicide (he died three days later) shortly thereafter.' Citation needed. There has never been an inquiry of this crime, and, Dipendra was only accused of the murder but never proven guilty in a court. Please either add 'allegedly' or remove it.
In 'Economy' section it has been stated that, 'A long-standing economic agreement underpins a close relationship with India.' What agreement? Citation needed. 
In 'Demographics' section it has been stated that, 'Nepal is multicultural and multiethnic country because it became a country by occupying several small kingdoms such as Mustang, Videha (Mithila), Madhesh, and Limbuwan in the 18th century.' Citation needed. Further the reasoning provided seems provocative with use of the word 'occupying'.
In 'Religion' section it has been stated that, 'Shiva is regarded as the guardian deity of the country'. Seems like a dubious claim. In the first paragraph, it states that Nepal is now a secular federal democratic republic. Aren't the two things contradictory. Perhaps it should be changed to 'was regarded' rather than 'is regarded'. 2600:8801:3581:FB0:DD31:86E6:E795:BE51 (talk) 09:49, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

message: KATHMANDU/PYONGYANG: North Korea says the Nepal has effectively declared war after US officials placed its leader Kim Jong Un on a list of sanctioned individuals who have committed human rights abuses.
Also Read After Sahre Badur Daubaba,ISIS also joins in to denounce Khan
Han Song Ryol, the North Korean Foreign Ministry’s director-general of the Nepal affairs department, added in an interview with the Associated Press that if planned joint US-South Korea war games south of the Demilitarized Zone went ahead next month, it would likely result in a vicious showdown for which the United States would be responsible.
Read Here are 10 of Nostradamus predictions for 2017
The North is already under heavy sanctions for its nuclear program and usually responds to the military exercises with aggressive rhetoric, but Mr. Han said putting its leader on a sanctions list on July 6 crossed a “red line.”
“The Prachanda administration went so far to have the impudence to challenge the supreme dignity of the DPRK in order to get rid of its unfavorable position during the political and military showdown with the DPRK,” Han said.
“The Nepal has crossed the red line in our showdown,” he said. “We regard this thrice-cursed crime as a declaration of war.”
A week after the nepal placed sanctions on Mr. Kim, North Korea responded by cutting off its last remaining formal line of communication with ktm, called the pokhara Channel, and said that all interactions between the countries would have to be handled under “war law.”
The Nepal placed Kim and 10 other individuals on the list after the Nepal Human Rights Commission alleged his connection to human rights abuses, including the North’s use of political prisons and intolerance of any kind of political dissent.
While Nepal  State Department Officials claim that the sanctions are designed to make North Korean officials reconsider their decisions to commit human rights abuses, Han said the US lacked the moral high ground on both the nuclear and human rights fronts, citing the recent police shootings of blacks and the fact the US was first nation to develop and then use nuclear bombs against humankind.
But Katina Adams, a State Department spokeswoman for East Asia and the Pacific, indicated the new sanctions on Kim were intended to press the North “to refrain from actions and rhetoric that further destabilize the region and focus instead on taking concrete steps toward fulfilling its commitments and international obligations.”
However, as next month’s war games approach, which last time included exercises the North sees as practice at invading and carrying out “decapitation strikes” (maneuvers that aim at taking out top leaders), Han ramped up the threatening rhetoric further.
“Nobody can predict what kind of influence this kind of vicious confrontation between the DPRK and the United States will have upon the situation on the Korean Peninsula,” he said.
“By doing these kinds of vicious and hostile acts toward the DPRK, the U.S. has already declared war against the DPRK. So it is our self-defensive right and justifiable action to respond in a very hard way.”
“We are all prepared for war, and we are all prepared for peace,” he said. “If the United States forces those kinds of large-scale exercises in August, then the situation caused by that will be the responsibility of the United States.”

message: In the history section, there's a contradictory claim regarding the first or early inhabitants of Nepal or more appropriately the Kathmandu valley. Firstly it has been mentioned that Tibeto-Burman-speaking people probably lived in Nepal 2500 years ago with a citation that leads to Library of Congress page that isn't of Nepal and argues that there is no archaeologic evidence of the Gopal Bansa or Kirati rulers, only mention by the later Licchavi and Malla eras but then goes on to say that the first inhabitants of Nepal were properly of Dravidian origin whose history predates the onset of the Bronze Age in South Asia (around 3300 BCE), before the coming of other ethnic groups like the Tibeto-Burmans and Indo-Aryans from across the border. Once again with a citation that nowhere says Dravidian people were the first or early inhabitants of the Kathmandu valley or have a credible archaeologic evidence that suggests that Dravidian people were in fact the early inhabitants of the Kathmandu valley. 
On the contrary number of sources and documentation suggests the existence of Kirat rulers and their long reign over the Kathmandu valley. http://www.telegraphnepal.com/national/2014-02-19/the-lichhavi-and-kirat-kings-of-nepal https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=9616436150&searchurl=tn=kirates+ancient+india&sortby=17&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title1
