Hem Raj BC[edit]hi, I am a fan trying to create a page for Nepali film director Hem Raj BC who directed popular movie Jerryy & Hostel (2013 film). It seems that most of his works have a wikipedia but his bio was not found here. Could some of you guys help me as it has not been able to pass for conflict of interest. Could someone help with the editing as well? thank you! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Hem_Raj_BC my openion : remove all unwanted sources and content form article. Endrabcwizart (talk)
Kirat Mundhum[edit]
Since creation in 2008, Kirat Mundhum has been described as the religion of the Kira[n]ts of Nepal, not a bunch of "stories", until this IP edit in October. Furthermore, the Kirats appear to be a Himalayan people, mostly of Nepal; changing their territory to "Indian subcontinent" (here), makes about as much sense as saying they're from "the Eurasian continent". Formerly, it just said "of Nepal and India" (until this edit added a bunch of countries not supported by the following ref). Probably it should just go back to saying, "Nepal and India" again (or "northern"/"Himalayan" India, or some such). Mathglot (talk) 02:09, 8 January 2019 (UTC) Menstruation hut[edit]Hi all!

The article isn't in pass shape currently; I was wondering before I removed it however if there would be anyone willing to work on the article to address issues and adopt the nom?

If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.
Population of VDC's: please update based upon the 2011 census.[edit]The population data for villages in Nepal that are provided in articles seems to be very much out of date or inaccurate, according to a sampling of a few in Sindhupalchok District, namely:
Today I have updated each of these with data from the 2011 census (the most recent one). I suggest that each village in Nepal with a Wikipedia article be updated to provide number of people (men and women) and number of households.
This can be done by following the examples on the abovementioned pages that I have already updated, using a format like: This could be done entirely manually. Alternatively, some clever person might be able to create a convenient template like {{Nepal-village-population|2011|Tauthali|p=2762|f=1507|m=1255|h=776}}. Ideally some extremely clever person would create a bot, but with the variation in spelling of the village names, this seems impractical. By the way, I still think the issue of verifying "official" English names of Nepali villages needs more attention. —DIV (1.144.107.163 (talk) 13:04, 25 June 2019 (UTC)) One of your project's articles has been selected for improvement![edit]

As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables. We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC) Merging the five old development region articles into the main Development regions of Nepal article[edit]After 2015, the Provinces of Nepal came to be. The five old articles for the development regions still exist, and they're generally poorly cited or just stubs. I suggest that someone with more expertise to just merge all of the necessary information from the articles to the main Development regions of Nepal article and then redirect all of them there. If there is some information that pertains to the new provinces, it can be added to those articles instead. The old development region articles: Eastern Development Region, Nepal Central Development Region, Nepal Western Development Region, Nepal Mid-Western Development Region, Nepal Far-Western Development Region, Nepal It's not even really that difficult, but as so much of the information is uncited, I'm not sure where to begin myself. Maybe very little of it is really needed. Mr. Magoo (talk) 21:05, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
Could some brave soul please take a look at this page. Seriously, it has to be one of the worst pages I have seen on WP. I think it needs a total re-write, massive update, or revert to about 2010, or earlier. Eg "For an entire generation of students in the 1970s, Bidehanagar was a codeword for fierce resistance, ceaseless struggle and spirit of sacrifice." 😲 That's been on the page for nearly 3 years. Unsourced, of course. 220 of Borg 08:23, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
Nomination for deletion of Template:Rukum District[edit]
Geo stub types[edit]Greetings all! Pursuant to changes made in the administrative divisions of Nepal in 2015, and due to the very large number of geographic stub types thereof, the Stub sorting Project has created stub templates by province and district and is in the process of emptying the zone-geo-stub categories. (See the Proposals page for details.) I encourage anyone who's looking for a tedious but useful mission to help re-sort these stubs. If you'd prefer something just as useful but not quite as tedious, please feel free to update the contents of the articles, as the text still gives the old location in most cases. Cheers, Her Pegship (I'm listening) 15:22, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
New map and area of Nepal[edit]
![]() Indeed, the current Jammu and Kashmir maps are ideal. No colouring, no shading, no hatching. Just dotted lines around the claimed areas. Usedtobecool, every day we revert dozens of Indian/Pakistani editors pushing their countries' brandings on the others' territories. Nepalese editors doing it is nothing new for us. What justification do we use? "Unsourced edit" is the easiest, because most such edits never bother giving a source or write edit summaries justifying their edits. If they give national sources, we demand WP:NPOV or WP:THIRDPARTY. Every Wikipedia editor is supposed to follow WP:NPOV. It doesn't matter what country they are from, or whether they are experienced or inexperienced, registered or unregistered. Note also that Wikipedia doesn't have any special policies for countries or governments. They are sources just like any other. If they make claims about themselves, they are just WP:SPS and have no value for Wikipedia. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:48, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
District templates[edit]We recently had a preliminary discussion at #Nomination for deletion of Template:Rukum District on what to do regarding District templates. It seems to me, clarity on the subject would help going forward. I have looked at some, and:
I think VDCs should be listed only with the former two districts: Nawalparasi & Rukum. All other districts including four new districts shouldn't be listed former VDCs with it's templates because those VDCs are already a part of new formed Municipality/Rural Municipality. For example: Jalpachilaune was a VDC with 48 kmsq of area which had many Villages and the headquarter was in a remote village but now Jalpachilaune is just a small town (neighborhood) in Triyuga municipality. Now Jalpachilaune doesn't represent all of 48 kmsq of area. Now Jalpachilaune is a part of ward no. 16 in Triyuga. If anybody want to know about former VDCs he can check Former administrative units of Nepal. We do not use now former development regions, former zones and former VDCs--- 👤Raju💌 12:23, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Nepalese[edit]![]() I noticed that you reverted my edits at Manisha Koirala. In that edit, I changed the word Neplaese to Prakash Sharan Mahat, former minister for foreign affairs of Nepal once said
@CAPTAIN MEDUSA: I really don't think my userpage is an appropriate venue for this discussion. A category rename request/discussion for Nepal related cats at WP:CFD and a discussion for titles related to Nepal (both of which use Nepalese) at Talk:Nepal or a similar forum that involves more users is definitely better. Would lastly like to add that I was only following precedent and the standard form here in my revert and do not have a strong opinion either way. Nepali/Nepalese are used interchangebaly, the latter more so in international pubs and obviously here on the enwiki. Gotitbro (talk) 15:21, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

I hope what I've done is helpful, and I've fixed that one article, but there is still a lot of sorting out to be done, by this editor or helpful others. There are also a lot of spelled-out stubs, as if they;ve used "subst:Pokara-geo-stub", when stub templates should never be subst'd. Too late at night, here, for me to do any more now. I know there is a push to create many many articles on Nepal at the moment, but I hope new editors are being helped to understand how to do so. Good luck. PamD 23:25, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
The same editor has been creating categories such as Category:Places of Pokhara, Category:Ward of Pokhara and Category:Chowks of Pokhara, with no parent categories. I've added a parent category to the first as at least a temporary fix (is it a useful category or not?) and proposed the other two for deletion, but Nepal editors might like to help out here.

It is currently entirely based on Christian missionary sources and is extremely slanted in favor of Christianity (even citing that Christians would constitute 10% of the population while according to census they are 1.4%). There is a user who guards the article impeding any modification and the addition of problem tags. Based on the nickname, he is the very same author of many of the cited sources, a Christian missionary, and thus has a strong conflict of interest.--37.161.136.19 (talk) 22:18, 23 February 2021 (UTC) Gurkha Page Discussion[edit]Hi, There is currently a discussion about the edit on the Gurkha page HERE and HERE, due to inaccurate mentions of India and other similar inaccuracies.

So a section for third premiership in same article, Second Oli cabinet can address both. Even the national medias term this as cabinet reshuffle. Can we deny this? It can be termed as second term of same cabinet as all the ministers remained same and same ministers took oath. Even their article suggest no Third Oli cabinet![1] Can wiki deny this? Fifth Deuba Cabinet, 2021 mentions it's preceded by Second Oli cabinet. Second Oli cabinet says it's succeeded by Fifth Deuba Cabinet, 2021. Isn't it? Except this article, you may not find this awkward topic, Third Oli canet any where. For your clarification:-

There are over 100 articles which link to this dab page - shown here. Presumably most of the links should go to Madheshi Jana Adhikar Forum, Nepal or Madheshi Jana Adhikar Forum, Nepal (Loktantrik) but I am not expert enough to know which.

FAR for Gangtok[edit]I have nominated Gangtok for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here.

The article seems to long while it lacks some information. While the party name has changed at various point of time, all those information are in same article. So I feel a senior editors needs to look into this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franked2004 (talk • contribs) 18:47, 23 March 2023 (UTC) See my latest edits regarding duplicated page 78.0.30.114 (talk) 14:34, 25 March 2023 (UTC) Project-independent quality assessments[edit]Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories. However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new regions of India[edit]Recently added to the infoboxes for (at least some) Districts is this:

The current Gyanendra Bahadur Karki (born 1966) article is for former member of the 2nd Nepalese Constituent Assembly. However, there is also Gyanendra Bahadur Karki (1930-1992) who was a former foreign minister (see: Minister of Foreign Affairs (Nepal) at #14) and there's also the Hon'ble Justice Mr. Gyanendra Bahadur Karki (born 1950) who was a former justice of the Supreme Court of Nepal; source: [20] Of course, the obvious differentiation would be by birth year, but I didn't know if there were other names these individuals may be known by that would help. Any feedback or ideas are welcome. Thanks!

Requested move at Talk:Shunga Empire#Requested move 5 July 2023[edit]![]() Rail Transport in Nepal[edit]There has been informations all over the place about Rail Transport in Nepal. It's because the non existence of the right page they belong to, which is Rail Transport in Nepal, after realizing this I've put an effort to rebuild this once existing page. It's so inappropriate to redirect such a broad subject as Country's Rail Transportation to a Train operating company which runs only on one line. How can a country wide transport subject can be merged to a passenger service providing single company ? To fix this I tried to bring together all the scattered articles in wrong pages to the right page, first transferring railway transport related topics to Department of Railway's page as it's the authority in charge, then I found this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_by_country where Nepal's link is directed to all transportation page while other countries have a separated Rail Transportation page, some of which have no railway at all till date ? So it's hard to comprehend why Nepal Rail Transportation can't have it's page where all the history,current status and future project could be consisted ? As I was working towards it by moving all articles currently everywhere to the proper page, next day I come to take it further it's all gone ! Now have to start it all over again ! If it's going meet the same fate what's the point of trying to rebuild. But honestly, a country's Rail Transportation can't be in a company's page, it's like merging a country's entire river system into a boat service operator on one river. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NeelAbodh (talk • contribs) 16:23, 12 August 2023 (UTC) Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon[edit]![]() Hello WikiProject Nepal: WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

There's been some recent activity might I say with some editors changing "Nepalese" to "Nepali" without discussion/consensus. The articles involved include: Nepalese rupee, Nepalese Civil War, Nepalese royal massacre, Nepalese Americans, Nepalese Armed Forces, Nepalese passport, Nepalese cuisine, Nepalese Army Air Service, and Nepalis. User:Uzzwalkhanal was blocked regarding this after a discussion at WP:ANI (diff) raised by another editor. Is there local WikiProject consensus on this? Does this need to be changed reflecting something that has changed recently? I'm completely unaware of this topic. Fork99 (talk) 02:13, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
Nepali is the word that denotes people of Nepal in the Nepali language. Nepalese was the term introduced by the British. People of Nepal prefer to call Nepali instead of Nepalese . Nepal government has already declared Nepali and Not Nepalese. Samirshass (talk) 04:32, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

I was wondering if you would be able to review the page and give me feedback so I can improve the page. Please let me know if you need any more information from my side. I would highly appretiate any feedback or comments as I am a new editor here. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you PR PRagyaa2023 (talk) 03:04, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
There's been a continuing argument on Talk:Momo (food) § Plural of Momo over which plural form of "momo" in English should be used in the article. wikt:momo has had similar issues. I would appreciate input from anyone who is able to make constructive contributions based on reliable sources, rather than screaming at me. I'd also appreciate any explanation of why this seems so contentious, if anyone happens to have any insight into that. Apocheir (talk) 01:14, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Specifically, it hides all of the contents of the talk page for mobile users, unless they click the "Learn more about this page" button, which is normally used to hide stuff about what WikiProjects a page belongs to that appear at the top of a talk page, but not the talk page discussions themselves. Please fix this template, or remove the use of it altogether; please recall that more English Wikipedia page views occur on mobile than on desktop browsers, and this has consistently been the case for close to four years now.

Specifically, I am trying to locate evidence that a party even exists whose WP:COMMONNAME is Janata Dal (Samajbadi Prajatantrik). The page Keshar Jung Rayamajhi also mentions this party, but the single source provided failed verification, as I mention at the talk page discussion above. If people have evidence that a party exists by this name, please provide it here or at the discussion above. Otherwise, please provide any thoughts you have on how this happened— is it a hoax? A possible duplicate of pages on parties with similar names (notably, Samajbadi Prajatantrik Janata Party Nepal)? Or something else?

Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries. Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs. Nepal is listed as a least-developed country for the purposes of this contest, which means Nepal-related submissions to the contest will get a multiplier in points. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content! Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!
