Wrong information

We have actually 6 world heritage sites in Uttar Pradesh and I can confirm that because I am from Uttar Pradesh and it is also said on Google. RavenVlaw (talk) 03:45, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide reliable source (please see WP:RS) for any claim that you make. Information cannot be added to Wikipedia simply because of the fact that the person providing the info hails from that region. We need proper third-party sources on that. Rasnaboy (talk) 17:38, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rasnaboy

Well then Google says there are 6 heritage sites in Uttar pradesh and so does UNESCO Sites. RavenVlaw (talk) 02:57, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @RavenVlaw. The state has three World Heritage Sites: the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. Additionally, three other sites—Sarnath, the Iconic Saree Weaving Clusters, and the Ghats in Varanasi—are tentative UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Uttar Pradesh. 'Tentative' means these sites are maintained by member states and may be considered for nomination. Hope this helps. Thank you. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ^🍁 13:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly add image to main header collage

Hi, kindly add

to header collage at bottom with description: Prayagraj Kumbh Mela Shresthsingh71 (talk) 09:21, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Header collage has a limitations. We cannot add everything. Though I have covered it in Tourism. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ^🍁 14:00, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree. This image is somewhat dull compared to the image in the tourism section which has a tighter focus and more vibrant colors. Ravensfire (talk) 16:53, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has limitations, I agree. So can we replace the Dudhwa Park picture with

and caption it as Prayagraj Kumbh Mela Shresthsingh71 (talk) 06:08, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dudhwa Park picture represents flora and fauna part of the srticle. Also, Sangam picture included in Tourism section already.--25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ^🍁 12:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ram Temple Significance

Taj Mahal represents tourism, Sarnath signifies Buddhism, IIT Varanasi stands for education, Dudhwa National Park highlights flora and fauna, Kashi Vishwanath Temple embodies Hinduism, and Agra Fort symbolizes architecture. Please, with all due respect, avoid making this article solely about the Ram Temple. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ^🍁 12:36, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
