message: Guys can somebody suggest a good cover picture. I visited this page after like one years, and saw that this pic is really not up to the mark. Apart from Hazratganj no other monument can be seen properly. Look at any other "standard" city page, the pics are much more clearer and larger though they might be fewer. So we need like four good and large pics instead of six or seven small pics!. Please look into this. Let us have some sort of consensus over this.
I think a Photo of Lucknow Metro,Hazrat Ganj,Gomti River front,Vidhan Sabha,Gyaneshwar Mishra park,The Residency and Imambara would be great...The photos on the City page are old and I strongly feel sad that no one has changed it yet..As a Lucknow resident it pains me to see these old photos.
Please someone change it or let me change it. Lucknowite7866 (talk) 03:58, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Cover picture change required

message: Just a request, for those who are good at photoshop, is it possible to have a picture with Lucknow's principal monuments placed in boxes, the way Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur (among other Indian cites' pages on Wikipedia) have? It would make a world of difference to the initial look and feel of the page. I agree with you. Please read my comment above.
Thanks

message: We don't seem to have an etymology for the name.
Two characters in the book Kim, highly regarded in India BTW, deliberately pronounce the name as "Nucklao". Which seems "backwards." Why do they do this? Does this altered name mean something in Hindi or Urdu?
It also implies that it was called this as a "nickname". While Kim is fictional, it tends to be quite accurate. The author was raised in India. Student7 (talk) 17:00, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

message: "Lucknow" is the anglicised spelling of the local pronunciation "Lakhnau". According to one legend, the city is named after Lakshmana, a hero of the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana. The legend states that Lakshmana had a palace or an estate in the area, which was called Lakshmanapuri (Sanskrit: लक्ष्मणपुरी, lit. Lakshmana's city).
X However, the Dalit movement believes that Lakhan Pasi, a dalit ruler, was the settler of the city and is named after him. The settlement came to be known as Lakhanpur (or Lachhmanpur) by the 11th century, and later, Lucknow. Y 
A similar theory states that the city was known as Lakshmanavati (Sanskrit: लक्ष्मणवती, fortunate) after Lakshmana. The name changed to Lakhanavati, then Lakhnauti and finally Lakhnau.[20] Yet another theory states that the city's name is connected with Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth. Over time, the name changed to Laksmanauti, Laksmnaut, Lakhsnaut, Lakhsnau and, finally, Lakhnau.[21]
:, please change the X to Y According to a glimpse of the Archaeological department of Lucknow, the monumental heritage of Lucknow: The name of this city was named after Lakhna, who was the leader of the Bhar caste.http://asilucknowcircle.nic.in/fancybox/index.html
