Q3: Why was my external link removed?
A3: To prevent bloat and clutter, new links must first gain talk-page consensus. See WP:EL.
Q4: The name of the article should be Calcutta, not Kolkata!
A4: Consult the archives of this talk page for discussions regarding the naming of the article. As of February 2012, the last discussion and voting regarding this issue was completed on 31 January 2012, and result of the move request was: No clear consensus to move this title, either name is appropriate for the article and no one made compelling Commonname arguments for either name over the other.
Q5: Why is person "X" not named in the article, although he/she is an accomplished person related to Kolkata?
A5: There is no strict inclusion and exclusion criteria for accomplished personalities mentioned in the article, although a working set of criteria is in the process of development. Some individuals such as Rabindranath Tagore or Mother Teresa are very significantly associated with Kolkata, while there are many others whose contribution or significance may not be as important. The significance level is a matter of subjective analysis, and there is room for discussion for each individual person. The following set of guidelines is recommended. The person need not meet all the criteria.
a. The person should be notable enough to have a separate wiki article.
b. Individual reliable inline secondary citations proving the notability in the Kolkata article must be given.
c. There should be significant contribution to his/her field of expertise.
d. The person received prestigious international or national awards or was nominated.
e. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective prestigious scholarly society or association,
f. The person is in a field of literature (e.g writer or poet) or the fine arts (e.g. musician, composer, artist), and meets the standards for notability in that art, such as WP:CREATIVE or WP:MUSIC and his/her work is well recognised as evident from reliable secondary sources.
g. The person must have born, or lived, or studied or worked significantly in Kolkata, that is, the person should be related to Kolkata significantly.
h. The name(s) should be added in such a manner that it should not look like a laundry list, rather it should flow into a prose.
i. Please discuss in the talk page prior to addition of a name. Please see Question a in the FAQ section to be aware that dits can be removed.

It says 2,011 and 2,023. I assume this is a misake and is meant to be years.

To state that Kolkata was "formerly known" as Calcutta is, at least from a Western perspective, untrue. I therefore changed "formerly" to "also".Retal (talk) 12:16, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
