Please be factual

Somebody had posted -->> The Maulana Azad Education Trust Aurangabad started by Dr.Rafiq Zakaria is a mini university in itself.

I have removed the Line. Maulana Azad Ed. Trust is not a mini University. I respect the college and everything. But, it seems partial to include an non-fact statement.

Please Keep this in mind

1. This is encyclopedia. Do not post any future event that is likely to occur 2. Do not copy text from other websites without a GFDL-compatible license. It will be deleted. 3. Use adjectives carefully. Thanks Mannoj 04:08, 29 September 2007 (UTC) 4. Please don't put the telephone numbers and shop names. This is not a advt. portal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amitauti (talk • contribs) 08:45, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge of Gates in aurangabad

Propose merge. Some more detail about the gates could usefully come in here. A sub-article is not needed. That article needs some rewriting, anyway. Itsmejudith (talk) 23:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merger won't serve the purpose

Merger not needed. The article, Aurangabad itself is huge article and moving it there will further create more confusions. Gates in Aurangabad itself is a very elaborate and comprehensive topic. So let us refrain from merging this article.Nefirious (talk) 07:56, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aurangabad Cantonment

There is already an article on Aurangabad Cantonment, inclusion of the same article will only confuse the editors. I have edited some text and relocated the article. If anyone has his/her suggestions please let me know. Nefirious (talk) 14:19, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image conflict

I removed the picture, Maulaza Azad College since I believe it is not the only college in Aurangabad. The picture of any one of the colleges to be posted on wikipedia may sound a bit partial and it is not possible to post the picture of all colleges. So it will be apt if a photograph of the Aurangabad University is posted. Nefirious (talk) 11:51, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Culture and Cuisine

I have added some content in this section although not exhaustive. It needs further elaboration and expansion. Hope users will contribute relevant and well researched information in this section. Fuwad ca (talk) 15:41, 15 September 2009 (UTC) fuwad_ca[reply]

I appreciate your efforts, but your contribution I fear might be challenged and removed if you do not have enough or appropriate sources to substantiate your claims. Please adhere to the Wikipedia guidelines before posting any information. I do not mean to discourage you, but as you said, it has to be well researched.

Tourist attractions

Tourist attractions section of this article is too large and makes the article very lengthy. So a new article List of tourist attractions in Aurangabad can be created with all the attractions and only few very important tourist destinations can be included in this article. Your thoughts?--WorLD8115(TalK) 19:09, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I completely agree with you. The section " Tourist attractions in Aurangabad can be an article itself. Nefirious (talk) 23:13, 19 January 2010 (UTC) I have relocated the section Tourist attractions in Aurangabad. The article still needs a lot of cleaning. More focus needs to be on the diction and grammar. Nefirious (talk) 01:19, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Development

For the article to develop further,

History of Aurangabad has to be developed further which will reduce the length of currently very large section in Aurangabad article.
Transport section is too huge. It should just include the Air, Rail and Road transport sub-sections and not the History of transport which can be included in the History of Aurangabad.
Education section has to be well-written.

Thank You, WorLD8115(TalK) 17:13, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts on the article The article still has a long way to go. Though necessary changes have been made in the past, the article still has a few minor grammatical errors, punctuation and expression errors. A lot of sections need to be appropriately cited and some sections in the article may also be questioned for Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Some citations may also face Wikipedia:Copyright violations as word to word has been copied from the mentioned sources. I hereby request copyeditors to step in and clean some of the sections that I will soon identify as dealing with the problems of copyright violations.

Some of the tasks that have to be performed by the editors are

Work on grammar and puncutation Not done
Trim sections like Transport , especially sub sections like rail. There is already a separate article on History of Aurangabad, so the History section too needs to be trimmed. Done IXU79 (talk) 06:59, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Education section needs expansion and it would be helpful to find a copyeditor in order to get rid of the grammatical errors. This section also seriously needs to be wikified. Not done Nefirious (talk) 14:38, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trim sections like Transport , especially sub sections like rail. There is already a separate article on History of Aurangabad, so the History section too needs to be trimmed : Done. IXU79 (talk) 10:02, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Air connectivity

Lot of people think that Aurangabad Airport is an International Airport but the fact is that it’s not. I have provided a reference of AAI website for confirmation also a page link to List of airports in India is included which helps in further clarification; reference of any other source would be welcome. Fuwad ca (talk) 15:44, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Shopping & Eating out

Added a new section by combining scattered info on the subject. Needs copy edit and references, has provided basic reference though. This section needs some pics. (IXU79 (talk) 15:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Education section

This is encyclopedia, please use encyclopaedic language. Please help improve this article by adding info & citations from reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. Copying text from other websites without compatible license, the info will be deleted.

Many people add names of pvt institutes/institutions which i think is not needed, also it makes the article too long. Only name of institutions which is reputed for research or institutions that stands out, should be added (public & pvt included) IXU79 (talk) 15:55, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
