This article doesn't seem to be quite up to [[WP:FACR|the current featured article criteria]]. The history section doesn't seem to be quite complete (nothing noteworthy happened after 1997?), and some of the information/statistics (particularly civic administration, utitilies, and education) are outdated. If these issues are not addressed, a [[WP:FAR|featured article review]] may eventually happen. [[User:Hog Farm|Hog Farm]] <sub> [[User talk:Hog Farm|Bacon]]</sub> 04:46, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Suzerein

"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)[reply]


Not NPOV Article

"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)Writtenright[reply]

I don't think any of those terms are exactly POV. Tibet was integrated into China, after all. Brutannica (talk) 01:38, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FARC

Lots of dead links. Should this be a FA?--S. Rich (talk) 06:35, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Population

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.

24.207.12.4 (talk) 04:01, 18 March 2013 (UTC)Squag[reply]

I changed the population back to 98,658, but I couldn't find a reliable source online that matches this population number. I found several websites (e.g. [1]) that claim Gangtok has a population of 30,700. One of the websites from the top of this talkpage [2] cites a population of "around 75,000", but this is a relatively old source (2002) and seems to be a rough estimate. Does anyone have a more accurate/reliable/updated source for the population? Lucien504 (talk) 03:23, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This report (at page 20) gives 2001 census population of Gangtok municipal area as 29,354, and greater Gangtok as 1,06, 746. I verified the municipal population in population finder of 2001 census. I did not find 2011 census report on Gangtok population.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:17, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Gangtok. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot.

Here

"...the channels available throughout India are also available here." The "here" should be specified or this sentence should be removed, I think Isjee594 (talk) 15:15, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring reverted edits

My recent edit to this page was reverted as it appeared to the editor to be WP:ADVOCACY of a particular point of view, specifically waste management in Indian cities or by Indian municipalities. I am relatively new to Wikipedia and see myself as a steward for water, sanitation and solid waste management related content on the site. These are the issues that I intend to write about in a neutral, balanced and informative manner. On reading my edits to the Gangtok page you will find that all of the content is verifiable i.e. it is sourced from reliable and published sources. My writing style, in my opinion, is (1) fact based, (2) neutral in tone without any puffery, contentious labels or unsupported attributions and (3) balanced i.e. holistic and not highlighting fringe views. I do not regard my edits as WP:ADVOCACY and would like to restore the content.

Improve audio clip

The audio clip right now does not have the right pronunciation. An authentic local pronunciation of the name of the city is needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sudarshanhs (talk • contribs) 18:08, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:URFA/2020

This article doesn't seem to be quite up to the current featured article criteria. The history section doesn't seem to be quite complete (nothing noteworthy happened after 1997?), and some of the information/statistics (particularly civic administration, utitilies, and education) are outdated. If these issues are not addressed, a featured article review may eventually happen. Hog Farm Bacon 04:46, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
