Semi-protected edit request on 21 March 2022 [GSOC Microtask]

In Transportation Section there's written The Kanpur Metro is under construction. Instead the Kanpur Metro has started operating in its first phase from 28 December 2021. [Check the current network section on Kanpur Metro Wiki Page [1]] Also add that the Agra Metro is under construction. [2]. Divyanshsikarwar (talk) 10:52, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Please state the number of the most populated US states that add up to a population that is smaller than that of Uttar Pradesh. What I mean is if you sum the populations of states in order starting with California and Texas, when will you end up with a population that is greater than Uttar Pradesh's? 50.24.26.218 (talk) 18:34, 21 May 2022 (UTC) 50.24.26.218 (talk) 18:34, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. This seems like trivia. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:39, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

The literacy rates mentioned in the side boxes is wrong even by the source (census 2011 data) provided in the footnotes. Kindly correct it. SPriyadarisi (talk) 04:24, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Misrepresentation of data

What is written in Wikipedia page does not match with what is written in reference 134. 123.136.149.93 (talk) 14:01, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

If it is this source, the source says on page 7 that Uttar Pradesh has a total of 598.19 lakh people in poverty. That would be 59,819,000 people in poverty. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:17, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Sources

An editor has been marking Indian and State government sources as primary and therefore supposedly inadmissible. However, governments are reliable sources, and like all primary sources may legitimately be used for basic facts about themselves. There would be no advantage in seeking secondary sources for such facts as those sources would simply rely on the government statistics, often using older versions the data, which would not be any sort of improvement. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:47, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

@Chiswick Chap Government sources are primary sources, reliable or otherwise. Apart from statistics (census, temperatures, etc, aka hard numbers), if it is a basic fact, please use a secondary source where possible, which is what we should do I take back that, they are fine as long as it is a basic fact. I also noticed some statements which are not basic facts, they need to be sourced from secondary sources — DaxServer (t · m · c) 17:12, 21 January 2023 (UTC) (amended 17:17, 21 January 2023 (UTC))

Well I'm glad we basically agree. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:13, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

In Tourism section:

1. owing to its rich and varied topography ... viharas - This is not cited. Is it available in the earlier two citations?

1. Doubt it. Removed.

1. Second para until Vaishnavism is uncited

Edited, added refs.

1. Ayodhya sentence is a substantial claim and thus cannot use primary sources. Good sources are available in either of the Rama and Ayodhya articles

— DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:53, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

I don't agree, it's a basic fact: such things can certainly be substantial. But I've added another ref anyway.

Um, WP:SOFIXIT? You are completely at liberty to construct rather than to criticise. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:43, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

I would if I have enough time on my hands to do the research. It's quite unfortunate that you take that as criticism when it is simply a plain feedback — DaxServer (t · m · c) 11:46, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

No, criticism of the article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:49, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Ahh, okay. I thought you’re referring to my reply. Sorry — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · c) 11:54, 22 January 2023 (UTC) — DaxServer (mobile) (t · m · c) 11:54, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

In Culture section:

1. Proper cite is required for the gharanas, the existing one is not a valid WP:RS
   1. Replaced ref.
2. Starting Buddha Purnima until the end. The end cite is for Ganga Mahotsav
   1. Repositioned ref; removed uncited/national/international festivals as not distinctive of the state.
3. Cuisine ref does not support the content
   1. Replaced ref.
