Cover picture change required

Guys can somebody suggest a good cover picture. I visited this page after like one years, and saw that this pic is really not up to the mark. Apart from Hazratganj no other monument can be seen properly. Look at any other "standard" city page, the pics are much more clearer and larger though they might be fewer. So we need like four good and large pics instead of six or seven small pics!. Please look into this. Let us have some sort of consensus over this.

I think a Photo of Lucknow Metro,Hazrat Ganj,Gomti River front,Vidhan Sabha,Gyaneshwar Mishra park,The Residency and Imambara would be great...The photos on the City page are old and I strongly feel sad that no one has changed it yet..As a Lucknow resident it pains me to see these old photos.

Please someone change it or let me change it. Lucknowite7866 (talk) 03:58, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Photograph of Lucknow in the Information Box

Just a request, for those who are good at photoshop, is it possible to have a picture with Lucknow's principal monuments placed in boxes, the way Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur (among other Indian cites' pages on Wikipedia) have? It would make a world of difference to the initial look and feel of the page. I agree with you. Please read my comment above.

Restructuring and Reorganizing

I have totally restructured and reorganized this article. I have been working on adding more media to this article and adding references. I also think that the prose of this article needs to be improved upon. I would continue working on abstraction and encapsulation of this article. Jainrajat11 (talk) 14:56, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Article's a minor mess. Seems to be more like a tourist brochure than an encyclopedia article. Amar | Talk 06:15, Jul 8, 2004 (UTC)

It's been more than three years since the above comment was posted, and the article still reads like a tourist brochure. Statements like "Courtly manners, beautiful gardens, poetry, music, and fine cuisine patronized by the Nawabs are well known among Indians and students of South Asian culture and history" are desperately in need of citations and/or revisions. Lucknow may very well be a lovely city, but the entire entry is so loaded with POV that it's almost completely useless. 75.219.231.16 18:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

The population data is not as released by the Government of India, and the links for citation also don't justify the data. No website claims that it has touched the 5 million mark.

Rewrite

Hi, I am proposing that we rewrite the article from a NPOV. Let's just say that words like excellent, quaint don't fit in with the feel of an encyclopedia. Let's shape the content thoroughly so that this city of our's can be a featured city. Atif.t2 (talk) 00:16, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Faiz, I want to develop a consensus on the number of images in the artcile. I really feel that we should limit them. The pictures of foods and old maps really look unnecessary in an encyclopedic artcile about a city. Maybe we should branch out extra information about Lucknow, Maybe a page like cuisines in Lucknow instead of overstuffing the pages with images. Atif.t2 (talk) 16:44, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

WHY THE ENGLISH NAME?

Who gave the city its present English name "LUCKNOW" (LUCK NOW)?--88.24.240.40 (talk) 02:56, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

It is not English name, its just Anglicized form of local name Lakh'nau, it has nothing to do with Luck or now.--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider^tc_s 03:36, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Name

We don't seem to have an etymology for the name.

Two characters in the book Kim, highly regarded in India BTW, deliberately pronounce the name as "Nucklao". Which seems "backwards." Why do they do this? Does this altered name mean something in Hindi or Urdu?

It also implies that it was called this as a "nickname". While Kim is fictional, it tends to be quite accurate. The author was raised in India. Student7 (talk) 17:00, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Elevation

The infobox says the elevation is 128 m, while it is given as 123.45 m in the text. I don't doubt that both numbers are correct for different parts of the city, but it looks inconsistent so it should probably be consolidated. I don't know how the elevations of cities are usually measured: probably only at some kind of central point? In any case, the 123.45 number, memorable digit pattern aside, is ridiculously overprecise. 85.226.204.42 (talk) 10:31, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

You are correct. I did little bit of research and got following result:

Sr No	Source	Elevation (in meters above sea level)
1	lucknow.org.uk	123
2	onefivenine.com	116 - 133
3	dateandtime.info	131
4	weather.gladstonefamily.net	128
5	maps-streetview.com	131
6	thetimenow.com	124

Now with so much of varying data arises the question of what to select & put on article. Any suggestions?--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haider^tc_s 14:53, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

I never knew so many different (read incorrect) elevation data are all over the internet!

The correct one is 123.45mts. It is written on all the 'Lucknow' signs at the Charbagh Railway Station. It is there since ages. Seeing that only, I check elevation of different cities while travelling by train... One more thing I would like to say to back my proposition is, that GPOs are placed at the very centre of the cities, a place called the 'capitol' (meaning heart of the city). It denoted the base point to measure distance of other cities/landmarks from the city in question. So, in my thinking, elevation measured at the city's main railway station should be taken into consideration for the overall/average elevation of the city...

Suggestions.

• Remove Localities section, it's simply destroying and playing no important role. Add Neighborhoods instead and include topics like "Shopping and shopping-centres", "City-based clubs", "Parks and recreation".
• It would be great if you convert those list (Cityscape) into paragraphs.
• Avoid putting too much images like you did in Transport section. Meanwhile try to use good quality images.
• Remove people from Lucknow, include them into education section.
• of historical places can be cover in Tourist section.
• "Lucknow Chikan" should exist in Economy.
• Eventually, refer, Hyderabad and Kolkata articles. It will give you more ideas. Thanks.--25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ^☣ 10:37, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Needing additional references?

I see that User:SNUGGUMS tagged the article as needing additional references, but did not leave a message saying which sections need more references or which statements are under-sourced. Given that this article is currently nominated for GA status, I wonder if SNUGGUMS (or anyone else) could specify which sections or statements need additional sources. Thanks, – Quadell ^(talk) 11:27, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

I will tag accordingly. Snuggums (talk / edits) 11:28, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Also, even once all content is sourced, this needs a WP:Peer review before it is ready for GAN. I guarantee it would not pass in its current state with so many malformatted references and image clutter. Snuggums (talk / edits) 12:17, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Needs a Montage

I am seeing someone deleted the Lucknow montage image out of a deletion request. This has happened with Uttar Pradesh Heritage Arc page too. I don't know why all this is happening but I am requesting any and all members to create a collage for this page and put it up ASAP. Wikiboy2364 (talk) 15:54, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

possible vandalism -

"Awadh was placed under a chief commissioner – Sir Henry Lawrence. Wajid Ali Shah, the then Nawab, was imprisoned then exiled by the EIC to Calcutta.[28] In the subsequent Indian Rebellion of 1857, his 14-year-old son Birjis Qadra, whose mother was Begum Hazrat Mahal, was crowned ruler but later killed by Sir Henry Lawrence. " All of the individuals in this section ( Wadji Ali Shah, Birjis Qadra, Begum Hazrat Mahal) all have reported death dates well after the seige of Lucknow - could someone please check?

Etymology (Lucknow)

"Lucknow" is the anglicised spelling of the local pronunciation "Lakhnau". According to one legend, the city is named after Lakshmana, a hero of the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana. The legend states that Lakshmana had a palace or an estate in the area, which was called Lakshmanapuri (Sanskrit: लक्ष्मणपुरी, lit. Lakshmana's city).

X However, the Dalit movement believes that Lakhan Pasi, a dalit ruler, was the settler of the city and is named after him. The settlement came to be known as Lakhanpur (or Lachhmanpur) by the 11th century, and later, Lucknow. Y

A similar theory states that the city was known as Lakshmanavati (Sanskrit: लक्ष्मणवती, fortunate) after Lakshmana. The name changed to Lakhanavati, then Lakhnauti and finally Lakhnau.[20] Yet another theory states that the city's name is connected with Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth. Over time, the name changed to Laksmanauti, Laksmnaut, Lakhsnaut, Lakhsnau and, finally, Lakhnau.[21]

How many train stations?

The article for Lucknow Charbagh says,

Lucknow Charbagh (officially Lucknow NR, station code: LKO) is one of the three main railway stations of Lucknow city for 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge trains

Meanwhile, the article for Lucknow Junction says,

Lucknow Junction (officially Lucknow NER, station code: LJN) is one of the two main railway stations of Lucknow city for 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge trains.

So is that two stations, or three? Could someone edit both those articles to clarify? I'm asking here, rather than there, as both are short stub articles and there are probably more eyes here. TRiG (talk) 20:50, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

File:X mark.svg Not done Sentence on large urban agglomerations in India in the lead is enough. Area is already included. Plus capital generally implies largest city in the state; only in cases of exceptions, specific sentence might be necessary. --Hemanthah (talk) 08:48, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
