Fair use rationale for Image:73px-Ancient india.PNG

Image:73px-Ancient india.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Nothing about Purnia city in this article

This article must be moved to Purnia district. A new article speaking about the city must be created.--79.159.174.25 (talk) 17:51, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a wrong argument. There are separate pages for the district and the town, wherever the names are same. What the content would be depends on different editors. This should never be done. I am removing the merger tag. - Chandan Guha (talk) 07:47, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removing sourced content

Hi 14.139.194.12 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and @Ajit.usp: could you please explain why did you remove sourced content from the Purnia page. Thanks. — Jakichandan (talk) 00:34, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2011 population

Trying to sort out the correct population figure to use here...

310,870 was shown in a previous version, but the given citation ([1]) was wrong (it showed Lahauli Gautam in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, and that number wasn't in there); no idea where 310,870 came from
310,817 from [2] for "Purnia UA" (urban agglomeration?)
282,248 from [3] page 24, for "Purnia (M Corp)" (municipal corporation?)

Is the UA or M Corp population figure (or both?) appropriate for Purnia's listed population? Dl2000 (talk) 00:47, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dl2000: The Infobox is for UA as "Urban Aggiornament" mentioned in the info box, so UA figure should be used. As for... 870 figure, it was most probably a typo for... 817. Thanks. Jakichandan (talk) 01:07, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seems a reasonable choice ... both figures are included in the Demographics section, with appropriate description, in any case. Dl2000 (talk) 02:31, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding addition of following important point regarding Purnia

'The city of Purnia has continued its tradition of hoisting the national flag at 12.01 am on every Independence Day since 1947.'

       This point should be added to the Wikipedia page of Purnia. I tried to update this information, but the Wikipedia page is locked. If someone knows how to update locked pages, please update this information. Sumitraj165 (talk) 06:17, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

5th largest urban agglomorattion of Bihar is Purnea

some miscreants of Darbhanga Bihar page have modified the Purnea page and edited with Purnea is the 7th largest city, which is not true, refer to 2011 Wikipedia, Purnea is 5ht largest Urban Agglomeration. Darbhanga editors from poor community come to Wikipedia page and do nasty stuff. Kindly take action.
