Talk:Gangtok/Archive 1

message: I just went through this article since it will be on the main page on the 25th looking for disambiguation pages linked from here and other link problems.  While reading the article a few problems jumped out at me.
#Some of the sections seem to have every noun in them wikified.  Every crop and industry etc.  I think it is a bit excessive, just because a word has an article about it does not mean that the words should be linked too. In many cases most of the links are discussed or linked to by other links in the same paragraph. (I removed some of the worst offenders). This is a bit better and at least part of the problem is that the paragraphs need to be fleshed out a little.  I was actually annoyed with several of the lists of crops that were all linked but if the section was improved it woudl be ok.  I am not sure how I feel about the de-wikifying of every date in the article though .... Dalf | Talk 18:16, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried moving all the images over to the right and putting them in a table.  This meas that depending on the width of the browser and resolution of the monitor of the user the images will line up diffrently.  On my computer at full screen and 1/2 it looks ... well ... better than it did.  Can someone else let me know how this looks.  I wont be offended if you revert it right away I am just trying to get a feel to how to make it look better. Dalf | Talk 09:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

message: 1780 meters DOES NOT EQUAL 5480 feet.  1780 meters is about 5840 feet (rounded to nearest foot).  I'd change it but I cannot be certain whether the metric or imperial measurement is the correct one (presumably the metric one is right, but I'm not one to presume.) 128.173.49.45 19:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: "Sikkim became a suzerain of India..." I think you've got this the wrong way round - it was India that became the suzerain power over (not "of") Sikkim.PiCo (talk) 01:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suzerein 

message: "In 1975, after the integration with the union of India,..." sounds like a Chinese government description of the "integration" of Tibet with China in 1959 or a German government description of the "integration" of Poland with Germany in 1939. The author could have called a spade a spade and simply said that India invaded and annexed Sikkim in 1975 - against her will. Writtenright (talk) 21:13, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

message: There seems to be an extraneous and confusing comma in all listed population; there are only six digits, yet there is a comma placed after the first. this makes it, at a glance, confusing as to whether this is over one hundred thousand or one million, and on analysis it is still unclear what is intended. I would recommend that this be changed.
