Talk:Hyderabad

message: I find it weird that the two languages represented in IPA at the top of the article are Telugu and Urdu. Telugu makes sense, as that's the official and majority language spoken in Hyderabad, but Urdu is the language of Pakistan, and that gives me the idea that this article was mistaken as the article about Hyderabad, Pakistan. Maybe that IPA should be relabeled as Hindi or Hindustani? Smeyers31 (talk) 19:29, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: That's because both Telugu and Urdu are official languages in the state of Telangana, but Hindi isn't. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:41, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct. In fact, Urdu has been recognized as a second official language for the Telangana region of the erstwhile AP, since 1966. 2605:8D80:506:2E6E:7911:4F68:9DD8:6BBE (talk) 18:14, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Hi @DrKay, I hope you are doing great. I have noticed that you reverted a few edits on the article but missed an intermediate change of importance involving the removal of a fictional flag from the article and placing the original flag. I assume it was a mistake in good faith on your behalf of reverting the other edits and have replaced the original flag in the place. If there are any further conflicts, please discuss them here. Thank you. Refer:  456legendtalk 18:08, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

message: In the history of Hyderabad section, there is a discussion about the name of the city. It is implied that the city was named after the Caliph Ali. However, that more accurately describes the origins of the name of Hyderabad in Sindh. The origins of Hyderabad in India is through Hyder Mahal. Perhaps her name was inspired by Ali, but the distinction needs to be made. 2605:8D80:506:2E6E:7911:4F68:9DD8:6BBE (talk) 18:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etymology of Hyderabad  

message: I saw you reverted my edit made to page of Hyderabad, Telangana settlement type changed from "Metropolis" to "Megacity" by me. I would like to share relevant sources to support my answer 
Hyderabad estimated population figures 2024 = 11,068,877, which is clearly > 10 million. Hence, Hyderabad qualifies as a Megacity.
Source url = Hyderabad Population 2024 (worldpopulationreview.com)
another sources which supports the fact that Hyderabad's population is > 10 million
url 2 = Hyderabad, India Metro Area Population 1950-2024 | MacroTrends
url 3 = Hyderabad Population 2024 (populationu.com)
url 4 = Population of cities in India 2024 - StatisticsTimes.com
url 5 = Hyderabad, India Population (2024) - Population Stat

url 7 = Hyderabad Population in 2024, Demographics, City Size, Population Growth (cinemamanishi.com)
Now, I would request you to publish my edit. Anonymous copy (talk) 18:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Many of these sources are quite poor.  For example census2011.co.in is a :scraper site that used to be blocked on Wikipedia. Others such as worldpopulationreview.com and www.macrotrends.net are publishing projections for their data after 2011.  The projections extrapolate from old census data using assumed growth rates and data on changes in the city borders. They are only reliable as sources for what they themselves say.-- (talk) 20:07, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Anonymous copy /  Toddy1 - As I have already explained to Anonymous copy on my talk page "we are working off the official census figures. The 2011 census of India ( page 3} clearly states that there are only 3 Megacities in India. We know the 2021 census is unlikely to be taken until late in 2024, and unlikely to report until 2025, but we need to wait until then, not only for the official population figure, but also as they may change their definition of Megacity" - There is no deadline - Arjayay (talk) 20:20, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: But many pages still contain estimated figures only, according to the 2011 census there are only 3 megacities i.e. Delhi, Mumbai & Kolkata but Bengaluru & Chennai are also given Megacity status as their population estimated figure is greater than 10 million, just like Hyderabad. I request you to maintain uniformity in data, either take estimated figures for all or take only 2011 census data. Anonymous copy (talk) 23:13, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: That other shops have broken windows is not a good reason to go around throwing bricks through shop windows.  See for example :WP:OTHERSTUFF and :WP:OTHERSPAMEXISTS.-- Toddy1 (talk) 09:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: go and correct them Mr. Editor, broken Windows can be replaced or repaired. OR just don't reverse other's edit and contributions. Don't try to justify yourself with illogical quotes. You're wrong that's why losing the argument, as I have provided all resources and references.   Anonymous copy (talk) 05:02, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

text: I agree that these sources are too poor to be used. If Hyderabad is a megacity, it should be easy to find strong reliable sources that say so. DrKay (talk) 05:11, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
