thread_title:  Old Merge 

message: The excerpt from "scholarship" given at the end of the article is completely unneccesary and biased. It is reflecting a very trivial view by and author that obviously has an agenda, and doesn't add anything worthwhile to the content of the article (since it discusses a single, most likely mythical, event.)03:24, 23 October 2005

message: The section about Nur Jahan seems to be a bit biased. Can anyone change it so it is bit more neutral?

thread_title:  Nur Jahan section 

message: I corrected a few mistakes and tried to harmonize the transliteration for Jahangir's son Khusrau Mirza: the name Khosrau has had through history many spellings: Khusraw, Khosraw, Khusrau, Khusro. The wikipedia article is titled Khusrau, in the Jahangir article Khusraw is mostly used. I also found Khusro in the artcle Mariam-uz-Zamani. (Shas3 (talk) 06:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Since Jahangir ruled the Mughal_empire_after_akbar, it would seem sensible to merge the Empire Article with this one. --Haruth (talk) 18:34, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Merger Proposal

message: Puzzling to see no reference to this in the article....
:"In 1615, Sir Thomas Roe was instructed by James I to visit the Mughal Emperor Nuruddin Salim Jahangir (r. 1605 - 1627) to arrange for a commercial treaty which would give the Company exclusive rights to reside and build factories in Surat and other areas. In return, the Company offered to provide the Emperor with goods and rarities from the European market. This mission was highly successful as Jahangir sent a letter to James through Sir Thomas Roe:Indian History Sourcebook: England, India, and The East Indies, 1617 A.D"
:{{Quote|Upon which assurance of your royal love I have given my general command to all the kingdoms and ports of my dominions to receive all the merchants of the English nation as the subjects of my friend; that in what place soever they choose to live, they may have free liberty without any restraint; and at what port soever they shall arrive, that neither Portugal nor any other shall dare to molest their quiet; and in what city soever they shall have residence, I have commanded all my governors and captains to give them freedom answerable to their own desires; to sell, buy, and to transport into their country at their pleasure."

thread_title: Toehold for the British?

message: " and the Sikh Guru Arjan (the religious fifth guru) tortured for five days until he had disappeared while taking a bath in a river—"
I would think he wouldn't let himself be tortured, he would be in prison.  True?  How did he get to the river?  "had disappeared" is pluperfect and usually means one past action that preceded another, what's the subsequent past action to the disappearance?  Also usually "Xing somebody until they Y" means that X caused Y.  Maybe "until" is the wrong word?
"In this state, Jahangir was also open to the influence of his wives, a weakness exploited by many. Because of this constant inebriated state, Nur Jahan, the favourite wife of Jahangir, became the actual power behind the throne."  the sentence right before "in this state" should say what the state is; "this" always refers to something in the immediate area.  The reference to inebration should come before it not after it.

thread_title: File:Gold Mohur (coin) of Jahangir, with his portrait, 1611.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: On 25 October 2015, approximately 50 references were deleted from this article by 106.194.133.191. Is there any good reason for it? The IP made a few edits that could be constructive, but mostly just deleted references without any explanation. Maybe we try to put it back. Krubo (talk) 19:59, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Many references deleted on 25 October 2015 

message: An anonymous user keeps changing Jahangir's birthdate and birthplace to respectively "14 December 1569" and "Peshawar, North Western frontier province, British India(Now in-Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,Pakistan". He always gives the comment "This is the truth" with his edits, which clearly identifies the editor as the same person regardless of the continually changing anonymous IP-adress. These edits are untruth and clear vandalism and are - given the rpeated character - not good faith edits. -- fdewaele, 4 November 2018, 17:15 CET.

thread_title:  Vandalism to birthdate and birthplace 

message: In the same paragraph at the top of the Nur Jahan section, we have these two statements: "...Jahangir yearned for [Mehr Un Nisaa] much earlier than her wedding to Sher Afgan... most travellers' reports say that [Jahangir] met [Mehr Un Nisaa] after Sher Afgan's death." The article overall seems to suffer from this problem, but it is rarely so obvious. Is there a consensus view? We state both with equal authority and, unless Jahangir had a time machine, it cannot be both. I do not have the knowledge or the sources to find out which is right and correct the article.

thread_title:  Need Subject Matter Expert 

message: I just added some citations from reputable books to a few paragraphs in the Art section of this page, but don't have the time to make all the edits that are required for a properly supported section. This excerpt (...my liking for painting and my practice in judging it have arrived at such point when any work is brought before me, either of deceased artists or of those of the present day, without the names being told me, I say on the spur of the moment that is the work of such and such a man. And if there be a picture containing many portraits and each face is the work of a different master, I can discover which face is the work of each of them. If any other person has put in the eye and eyebrow of a face, I can perceive whose work the original face is and who has painted the eye and eyebrow.) is quoted in full without any source as to where/when Jahangir said it.

thread_title:  Rebellion 

message: I find it interesting that any of the listings of the various Mughal rulers of India never lists the brutality of their reign. No mention that Jahangir planned his fathers death to take over. He blinded his own son and not to mentioned how many he has skinned to include Guru Arian Dev Ji, that lead to hostilities/war between Mughals and Sikhs. 70.106.201.136 (talk) 23:39, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

message: It seems that the article has been heavily edited, to make it shorter, with less pictures. Makes it less informative.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathularog (talk • contribs) 14:46, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
