Talk:Ahmednagar

Under the history section of the article, it is claimed that the city was captured via siege by Richard Wellesley, Earl of Mornington. This is using a citation from the Encyclopedia Brittanica, which states that General Wellesley captured the city. This is a correct citation in that a General Wellesley did capture the city in 1803; however, the General in question was not Richard, but Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington.

Was added by a Columbia University IP along with many other links to the site. I have moved it hear in keeping with our external links guidelines so unconnected editors can evaluate its appropriateness. Many of the websites entries are short and may not contain much more than the articles they have been added to. However, this might be a good source even if editors do not consider it an appropriate external link. -- SiobhanHansa 23:00, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Encyclopedia Iranica is produced by Columbia University and is a scholarly source. It should not be removed from the articles as they are pertinent sources of reference.--Zereshk 12:53, 23 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

For that it seems you need to raise a move request using below template

Ahmednagar renamed as Ahilya Nagar 2404:BA00:1:5B6D:3C46:F46E:FFD0:FC9B (talk) 10:27, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

But the new name of the city was only approved by the state cabinet on 13 March 2024. But if people want to rename the article, they need to present evidence that "Ahilya Nagar" is the commonly used name in English. Note that news stories about the renaming are not evidence that "Ahilya Nagar" is the commonly used name.

The article should be written using the article name, not some other name. I have added a paragraph to the history section on the renaming of the city. This is an important event in the history of the city, whatever the Wikipedia article is called. -- Toddy1 (talk) 10:27, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have requested an increase in page protection.-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:25, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

We obviously know that - the opening words are "Ahmednagar (officially Ahilya Nagar)" - however, our article titles are based on the WP:COMMONNAME in English, not the WP:OFFICIALNAME - Arjayay (talk) 10:14, 5 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
