In the last line of 2nd paragraph in the "Early and medieval history " section . A correction has to be made to the location of "Someshwara temple" which is actually situated in Halasuru , not Madiwala as stated in the article. The above mentioned pages are enough and relevent for the change. Also , please do remove the reference number 36 . 16:47, 24 March 2018 (UTC) |answered= no

Why is Bengaluru still known by its old name in Wikipedia?

It has been almost 4 years since Bangalore has officially changed its name to Bengaluru, why is the article still known under the old name? Any reasons on why it should not be changed to the official name Bengaluru? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bengalurumaga (talk • contribs) 23:03, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

• Because we go by what WP:COMMONNAME says, and Bangalore is still the by far most commonly used name in English, both in English language media and among English-speakers. Even in Bangalore... - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 23:47, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

It's been 4 years since the official name change has been in effect. Name is very popular now, infact the airport is also named after the official name itself. ^talk Could we have the survey which tells us Bangalore is more popular than the name Bengaluru ? Let's not go by words without citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akumar5 (talk • contribs) 09:58, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Read the "previously nominated to be moved" section at the top of this talk page. It was discussed last September - when a year has passed since then a new move request might have a better chance of success. Batternut (talk) 12:02, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Sounds interesting, so how do we start a new move request ? comment added by Akumar5 (talk •

As explained above, you wait until September - Arjayay (talk) 10:25, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

If there's not enough evidence to make the change now, and apparently there isn't, waiting until September to propose a move that will not succeed, and probably be speedy closed, will accomplish nothing. Encouraging perennial proposals that will fail for the foreseeable future isn't a good idea. - BilCat (talk) 00:09, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

BilCat misinterprets the above comments as encouragement for the proposal, whereas the encouragement was to not raise it so soon after the other failed proposals. Batternut (talk) 09:41, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

This is not a change but addition. IFIM B School should be added under the list of renowned professional institutes. Here is the link to their wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Finance_and_International_Management Jibincjoseph21 (talk) 13:16, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

One institution missing in Bangalore premier (higher education) institutes list

The institution 'TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics' should be added to the list of the premier research institutes in Bangalore. Here is its Wiki page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIFR_Centre_for_Applicable_Mathematics.

This is really a cutting edge school on applied mathematics, but specially partial differential equations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Upanshu56 (talk • contribs) 10:08, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Move to Bengaluru

Why wikipedia still follows old name? Even google has changed everything to Bengaluru: https://www.google.at/search?q=Bengaluru https://www.google.at/search?q=Bengalore

there are many more news articles in 24h timefrime for Bengaluru than Bangalore: https://www.google.at/search?biw=1536&bih=763&tbm=nws&ei=lrLJW9nFPMnpsQH8hYDIDQ&q=bengalore&oq=benga lore&gs_l=psy-ab.3...22234.23089.0.23276.6.6.0.0.0.0.138.477.0j4.4.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..2.0.0....0.jhKoQ5Txlo8 https://www.google.at/search?biw=1536&bih=763&tbm=nws&ei=vrLJW-idF8SnsAHEva_gAQ&q=bengaluru&oq=bengaluru&gs_l=psy-ab.3...603.1592.0.1762.4.3.1.0.0.0.118.308.2j1.3.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.wyNcqWpgv_k

How is this still standing at "Bangalore" ?! --89.144.196.148 (talk) 10:30, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Cover photo issues

The cover photo of the article does not capture the essence of the city nor is appealing as an article. The main cover photo of UB city is also quite old and not updated. Perhaps a photo of Jayangar 4th block/Ghandinagar would be better, these areas are the true heart of the city. A photo of The Vidhan Soudha (the administrative headquarters of Karnataka, present in Bangalore) would also suffice.

Topic 7 -Economy MAJOR ISSUES

Most of the statistic are outdated here. Some from 2004! Bangalore economy is estimated to have grown by 1000% from 2004! Most of them are from 2014 - 15. This may not seem like much but Bangalore exports have increased by 60 % from then. Some of them are blatantly wrong stating Bangalore has GDP of $80 billion, Bangalore GDP is $110 billion plus! 45.126.205.163 (talk) 14:52, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
