Talk:Himachal Pradesh

message: The article Geography of Himachal Pradesh looks small enough. Wouldn't it make sense at this stage to merge it here? – Uanfala (talk) 03:42, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  merge with [[Geography of Himachal Pradesh]]? 

message: : 
* All the "smaller" state articles do not have these statistics mentioned. Uttarakhand, which is also similarly sized and populated has no stats in the article lede. Probably we should remove these things from this article as well. 
* All the states that have GDP and per capita mentioned also have precise values along with it. In my opinion rankings are rather vague if not supported by values. And this seems to be the norm in the articles. We should either keep ranking with values for the stats or remove it altogether.  
* No other state but Kerala has literacy rate, HDI mentioned. So I guess this line  could be removed as well. 
I've added GDP and per capita rank values and removed HDI and literacy rate in conformity with all other Indian states articles. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:25, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Since GDP and per capita GDP have been mentioned in this article's Economy section as well in the same detail as lead section and you've already removed content about HDI and literacy rate from the lead, I think it would be fair enough to remove GDP and per capita GDP as well from the lead section to avoid repetitiveness. Let the mention of all these stats be restricted to their specific sections in the article. Also, "22nd largest state economy" doesn't appear to be something big enough worth mentioning in the lead as well as economy sections. As you said, most of the similarly sized articles don't mention these stats at all in the lead. Even among bigger states, GDP and per capita income have been mentioned for only a few. So, I'm removing GDP and per capita also from the lead of this article. Actually, I had added the stats on HDI and literacy primarily because Himachal happens to be leading hilly state in these parameters. Vibhss (talk) 18:08, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  State stats 

message: Hi, regarding this edit of yours. Since most of the state articles have official/additional official languages mentioned in the infobox, for the sake of parity, I believe we should keep it. As for "Spoken languages", will it be that hard to add those in the infobox using "Hlist" or something like that? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:23, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: My removal might have been too bold: I was only objecting to listing Sanskrit and Hindi to the exclusion of the actual native languages. If you would like to list them all, feel free. – Uanfala (talk) 15:32, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  It would be better IMO to list only the most commonly spoken languages i.e. "Hindi dialects/Pahari languages" like Mandeali, Kangri, Kullu, Bilaspuri using a parm titled something like "Commonly spoken". Or do you want me to list Punjabi, Nepali, Kashmiri, Kinnauri, Tibetan, Lahauli? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:25, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that's for you to decide :) You might want to avoid labelling the Pahari languages as "dialects" of "Hindi" (as that wouldn't be true when the usual meanings of those two words are involved, and the infobox doesn't have the space for an explanation of what exactly is meant). And as for which of the other languages to include, it's up to you to decide where the line should be drawn. Languages spoken by larger populations have a stronger claim than ones belonging to smaller communities, and regardless of numbers, indigenous languages (like Kinnauri) have more reason to be included than languages of immigrant groups (like Nepali). – Uanfala (talk) 01:32, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

text:  Obviously labelling Pahari languages as "dialects of Hindi" would be a counter productive thing to do since Hindi will be mentioned already under Official. I've decided to have a parm called "Native" under which I'm going to mention  Mandeali, Kangri, Kullu, Bilaspuri, Kinnauri, Lahauli and Pattani which are native to that region, alongwith the Official and additional official language parms as before. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:20, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: I've accepted the draft. I don't think there's anything that can be merged or copied here, as the topic is really narrow. However, maybe a single-sentence mention could probably be weaved somewhere into the article text. – Uanfala (talk) 21:37, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Draft:Kuhls: Communal Irrigation Systems of Himachal Pradesh]]

message: Some sources list the height of Shilla as 7,025 meters, while others list 6,132. This is important because the former would make it the tallest peak in the state, while the latter would leave Reo Purgyil the tallest. Does anyone know the reason for this and/or which is actually taller? Kornatice (talk) 05:54, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tallest mountain? 

message: Dear User:Ron.Tyler1995 or User talk:Ron.Tyler1995 or Pulkit....The literal meaning of the word is 'Lap in Ice' or 'Lap of Ice'..... But as Himachal....in name Himachal...Him means Ice (बर्फ)...so as per official documentation of the state Himachal Pradesh Government, the literal meaning of the word Himachal is 'Snow laden' or 'Lap of Ice'...Also let me clear in the language hindi, in case of etymology, the articulation(or even also disarticulation) doesn't work same as for other languages, so the meaning of the word Himachal is 'Province in Lap of Ice' or province or land of snow-laden, as articulation is not same in case of Hindi language as of English language.

message: Dear Pulkit, I think, you are not trying to understand the wikipedia policy. Try to understand Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and WP:NOTPAPER. Also read How infobox should be. What matters is navigation to page of Government of HP. There is an another page for Government of Himachal Pradesh, if you want to improve, improve that. As there is already a section of Government (a navigation to Government page) exist in already given infobox. Important things have been given in the section .

message: The montage in the infobox needs an overhaul. It has seen major changes in the last few months (one such, admittedly, made by me). The current one doesn't seem very representative, and uses some bad quality images. I'll try and improve it, using featured and quality images as far as possible. Leaving this here for any objections since the montage has been changed several times. UnpetitproleX (talk)
This is the montage that I've come up with. It includes:
*Two featured pictures: Shimla and Key Monastery; and a WP:POTD on Odia wiki: Kinner Kailash
*Three Quality images: Dharamsala stadium, Bhimakali temple and Tosh (Paravati valley)
*Has symmetry, which I believe makes it much more visually pleasing.
*Actually includes three structures (HPCA stadium, Key Gompa and Bhimakali temple) instead of just pictures of mountains, as representative for the architectural styles and cultures of the people of the state rather than monotony of just the natural environment and topographical features of the earlier version.
* I've kept the Kalpa image from before and replaced the Khajjiar one with a better Khajjiar picture.
However, I believe that there's still room for improvement. Please suggest changes that you believe could make it better. UnpetitproleX (talk) 02:07, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
