[edit] Some issues

Some of the links take one to places in other states of India. For example, the entry Fatehpur takes one to a page describing a place in Rajasthan state of India, instead of telling about the Fatehpur district of Uttar Pradesh state. Hamirpur takes one to a place in Himachal Pradesh. In such cases, fresh stubs with appropriate names are required to be created, with suitable disambiguation pages. I will try to do that as and when I find time.

Actually, if the name of the town, district name, and the division name are one and the same, three separate entries would be appropriate. For example, Agra is a division, a district and also a town. I think page for town should be named Agra, the page for district should be Agra district, and the page for the division should be Agra division. I request for comments and suggestions. --Bhadani 07:55, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

This city/district/division situation is explained in Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian districts.
  • Kanpur --> city info
  • Kanpur district --> district info
  • Kanpur division ---> divisional info
Hierachy is as follows: State>City>District/Division
As for the Hamirpur and Fathepur pages, please see how Bilaspur is disambiguated. User:Nichalp/sg 08:51, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
I have moved the Fatehpur article to Fatehpur,Shekhawati. I think this will solve the problem of misleading links to Fatehpur. burdak 06:45, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
