Tips for developing country outlines

Instructions for developing country outlines is located at Wikipedia:Outlines (while that section is complete, the page is a draft, and will be moved to the Wikipedia namespace when completed). The Transhumanist 21:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

A note concerning redlinks...

Many of the entries (and their links) are standard across all of the country outlines, to aid readers, especially young readers, in comparing countries to each other.

So if this country doesn't have any of a particular entry, like navies, please don't delete the entry. Instead, complete it with "none" (and a brief explanation as to why, for example, "- x is a landlocked country with no ports"). If the explanation exists in an article on Wikipedia, then click on the redlink and create a redirect to that location. See Wikipedia:Redirect, WP:Section linking, and Help:Section#Section_linking.

Standard redlinks (article names) were also chosen based on how country coverage tipically expands. This makes the standard names for these subtopics widely available and easily accessible. So please do not remove those redlinks, for they will turn blue eventually. In the meantime, they can be redirected to the section of whatever article has the relevant information, if any. See Wikipedia:Redirect, WP:Section linking, and Help:Section#Section_linking.

Thank you.

Guidelines for outlines

Guidelines for the development of outlines are being drafted at Wikipedia:Outlines.

Your input and feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

Please check and fix the government section

The government section needs to be checked for accuracy. The initial data placed in the government branches sections was generated by template, and the data didn't fit all countries.

So those sections need to be looked over, and fixed if needed.

Please help.

Thank you.

The Transhumanist 21:45, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

P.S.: If you'd like to help out with other tasks concerning Wikipedia's Outline of knowledge, please drop me a note on my talk page.

Need your suggestion

I've made some sandbox changes to India (article) which can be seen here. Your observations and suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Please post them here. Also read these talk topics, Famines in India, Famine, starvation deaths during British era and Famine, starvation deaths during British era to understand the background and the reasons behind making the modifications.

Regards,...

An article for terrorism in India

I feel that we require an article for "terrorism in india", since terrorism is a very important concept in the politics of India. There already exist a similar article in the form of "Crime in India", under government and politics of india -> law and order in india). Apoorv020 (talk) 11:14, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Error in Map of India

The Map posted on the page i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:India-CIA_WFB_Map.png shows the disputed areas of POK and Northern Areas as Pakistani Territory. I request a replacement or deletion of this map from this page. (talk)

93rdzorro (talk) 17:53, 3 May 2012 (UTC)93rdzorro

Forget POK, even Indian administered Kashmir is shown in different colour from the rest of India in this map & no cities are marked in Indian administered Kashmir.

SourabhDev (talk) 08:52, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

This map is wrong. Indian administered Kashmir is not shown as part of India. Correct this or delete the map. It's a wrong edit by enemy nations. Bugsmcw (talk) 06:48, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Hunt for missing topics

What (major) topics are missing? The Transhumanist 13:01, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

grep search on titles

collapsed list for readability, it's a little long, and entries such as United States Senate election in Indiana, 2010 clearly don't belong... Hairhorn (talk) 20:08, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Considering pictures to add

What are the most famous sites or sights in India?

• What are the most famous buildings in India?
• What are the most famous structures in India?
• What are the most famous landmarks in India?
• What are the most famous landforms in India?

What are the most popular events (holidays, festivals, celebrations, etc.) in India?

Who are the most famous people throughout the history of India?

The answers to these questions will help us find the best pictures to present on the page. The Transhumanist 13:08, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Needed maintenance on country outlines

Please check this outline for the following problems, and fix if present:

• If the Local government section is empty (or only has a red "main" link), please remove the section. (If it has a blue "main" link, do not remove).
• Underdeveloped Education section - add more links.
• Redlinks that are unlikely to ever turn blue - remove or delink as appropriate.
• Out-of-date incumbant names - remove. No need to add the new incumbants, as the links to the articles on the position titles should suffice.

Thank you. The Transhumanist 03:44, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 23:55, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

>>>Maps

An enlargeable map of the cities of India

It would seem that certain users object to certain maps that appear in this article (like these two just to the right), and think that the way to remedy their disjointed snoots is to vandalize the article by removing the maps. I shall continue to revert this whenever I detect it. One of the maps that I have just reinstated I'll admit is my own work – and I worked hard on it, too – but the other isn't. I don't really care if somebody else gets in a fuming great snit at some squiggle or other that I've drawn on a map. I'll have you know that the lower map that you see here reflects current political reality, literally whether you like it or not. Now, I acknowledge that there are certain political situations that some might wish were different to how they actually are, and that the existence of, say, a line of control in Kashmir, or a Chinese claim to what some regard as northern Kashmir, might not sit well with some of you out there, but that's just tough. You know something? Not everything on that map sits well with me. I don't see why China should be considered Tibet's rightful ruler. I think Tibetans ought to be allowed to vote on their land's future government, and if the referendum were free and fair, I think we all know how Tibetans would vote. Nonetheless, Tibet is marked "China" on this map because that is the current political reality — by me, even though I myself don't like it. Furthermore, if you think that there is an inaccuracy in my map, no problem: just contact me on my userpage and you, I – and perhaps even other Wikipedians, too – can get together and discuss the issue. I can do any map modifications easily, if we reach a consensus on the need to do so.

Right, that's that little bee shooed out of my bonnet. Please do not cavalierly delete images because you find them personally distasteful. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, Wikipedia is not censored, Wikipedia must maintain NPOV, etc., etc., etc............Kelisi (talk) 21:47, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

And I have just had to deal with the same kind of thing again. Kelisi (talk) 21:05, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Change the map of India. Kashmir isn't included in map of india

Change the map of India. Kashmir isn't included in map of india 🤬 Amrutzz (talk) 11:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

I shall change the map of India if there is reason to do so, but as I indicated in the post above, a particular user's distaste for the way I have represented South Asia's current political status is not one of these reasons. Kashmir's status is very much in dispute, and has been pretty much since 1947, ever since India and Pakistan have been two separate countries. The map shows which parts of Kashmir India currently controls (and also which parts Pakistan and China currently control); the "Line of Control" and the "Line of Actual Control" are clearly marked, and by the way, all those right there, on the ground, had better bear them in mind, even if it shifts their noses out of joint. What a particular user wishes were so is neither here nor there. This map is meant to show the region's current political status, whether anybody likes it or not. As soon as the countries involved in the Kashmir dispute reach a diplomatic agreement stating that all Kashmir is Indian – if such a thing ever happens – and once the international community recognizes this new reality, then I shall gladly modify this map accordingly — but not before then. Amrutzz, you will not further any political dream here on WP. WP demands a neutral point of view, and the most neutral way in which that can be accomplished on this map is to show the current political situation, not a political situation that doesn't exist, but that some WP user would like to see instead.
