Image on main page

Image of fort shown on Jaisalmer page is correct. However at the bottom of the page a photo named "Amar Sagar" ( with lots of pidgeons flying around the lake pavillion ) is incorrectly named. This pavillion is located on GANGA SAGAR lake south of Jaisalmer approxm 5 kms from the town.

File:Havelis of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

An image used in this article, File:Havelis of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.jpg, has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations

What should I do?

Speedy deletions at commons tend to take longer than they do on Wikipedia, so there is no rush to respond. If you feel the deletion can be contested then please do so (commons:COM:SPEEDY has further information). Otherwise consider finding a replacement image before deletion occurs.

A further notification will be placed when/if the image is deleted. This notification is provided by a Bot, currently under trial --CommonsNotification (talk) 20:59, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

City name

Everywhere in the article and in other english language wikipedia articles, the city is spelled "Jaisalmer", only the very first word of this article states it as "Jaysalmar", without any explanation why. I'll set the first word to "Jaisalmer", but if anyone can provide a sensible explanation why to have two variations (with external sources), it would be no problem to adapt the beginning of the text.

Wind Mills in Jaisalmer

This place due its geographical location, high wind yeild round the year and availability of vast stretches of land, has become the biggest hub for generation of clean energy from wind, in India. almost all big names in wind energy have installed their wind energy converters (WECs). Needs a mention on the main page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.176.148.238 (talk) 10:21, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Name of lake

The lake is listed as Gadisar in the body, but the caption below the two images and in the "in popular culture" is spelled "Gadsisar". Spelling is typically written as Gadisar or Gadisagar. Erkund (talk) 16:42, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merging of History of Jaisalmer in Jaisalmer's History Section

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To clean up History of Jaisalmer before considering a merge; uncontested counterproposal with no objections and stale discussion. Klbrain (talk) 17:58, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History of Jaisalmer should be merged with jaisalmer. There is no need for seperate Wikipedia page. Probably will get more traction with Jaisalmer page compare to separate History page. Pyaaz Kachori (talk) 06:24, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History of Jaisalmer is too bloated and good part of it is unsourced, the writing isn't very good either, as compared to this one. In its current version, I wouldn't support the merge to Jaisalmer, a B-class article. Not to mention a list of rulers would look odd in the history section. Only if the contents of History of Jaisalmer is thoroughly copyedited and cleanup up, a succinct version of it that doesn't overlap with what is already present in Jaisalmer#History, could be merged. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:46, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
