Conflicting statements

Anon user had added this line : "siliguri also has a new stadium called the indoor stadium near desbandhupara. minor indoor games, including tennis and table tennis tournaments are held here." It conflicts with the statement in Sports section which says there is only 1 stadium in the town. Is it the same stadium ? Jay 11:43, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

media

Is it sensible to list all available media? I think only newspapers etc. that actually are from Siliguri should be mentioned. Otherwise every other city article should list available media, too... --117.201.119.150 (talk) 09:12, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why use this system? It causes confussion as most non indians would not know it. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 21:35, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Figures/demographics

Figures mentioning population numbers do not correspond to western guidelines:Introduction, line 6, in article:" (...) 7,01,489 (Not at all 19,01,489. Please check)..." Infobox: Population 5,09,709. Demographics (section) "population of 5,01,489 9Not 19,01,489" and (same section) "Tibeten languages are spoken".- Bornsommer (talk) 01:14, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Figures/demographics

This being an English-language article, figures/numbers should/must comply with how figures/numbers are written in the English language.Bornsommer (talk) 22:42, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Articles related to India are guided by WP:MOSIN. In India related Articles, "All units should be metric (SI) units. Imperial equivalents should be given alongside in brackets. Use the Indian numbering system of lakhs and crores. Give their equivalents in millions/billions in parentheses." Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 06:21, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong information regarding earthquake

Under Climate section of the page, it is mentioned there was an earthquake in 1988 with a magnitude of 9.7, which is a mistake. The largest earthquake in recorded history is of magnitude 9.5 in Chile https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_earthquakes#Largest_earthquakes_by_magnitude, so this cannot possibly be 9.7. The earthquake this article is referring to could be this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Nepal_earthquake. If someone can confirm this and make changes accordingly, it would be great. Also, I think it should be mentioned under Geography rather than Climate.Cx3z (talk) 16:50, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

VK lord's revision

I don't feel improves the quality of the article, yet I'm not reverting it because it appears GFE and I'm not a scholar on the subject. Could someone else have a look at it? Thanks L3X1 (talk) 15:04, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It would be helpful to provide diffs to identify what specific edits are problematic. -- Whpq (talk) 15:20, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what a diff is, but here is the URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Siliguri&oldid=758108582 . It's the latest revision, I detected it from RCP. He changed: It was named New Jalpaiguri as it is located in the Jalpaiguri District. It is located 35 km away from the city. This station connects both the twin cities of Jalpaiguri City and Siliguri to the rest of the country by railway. to It is located in the city but as it is in the Jalpaiguri District so it is named after Jalpaiguri but it is also know as "Siliguri Station". This station connects Siliguri to the rest of the country by railway. There are grammatical errors, but I am treading cautiously after having been warned for over zealous vandal patrolling.L3X1 (talk) 15:36, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the 'and is an integral part of Gorkhaland Territorial Area' because this is not true. Siliguri is a part of West Bengal State in India. The current information is completely politically incorrect. Amritaroy19 (talk) 08:15, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Overprocessed photos

Most of the photos on Siliguri page look garish as they seem to be overprocessed with excessive contrast and colour saturation. I think they should be replaced by photos that reflect reality better. I live in Siliguri and can vouch for the fact that the actual environment isn't as 'colourful' as depicted in the photos :) FaramRK (talk) 13:31, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

History section not factual

Please add sources to the History section for the various claims being made. Also, this section reads more like a tourist or local administration advertisement/brochure rather than a fact based article. There are also grammatical errors which render some sentences quite incomprehensible. FaramRK (talk) 13:49, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
