Improvements made[edit]

Add virtual university of pakistan(vu)govt. of pakistan) in universities of lahore.

I've added/replaced some pictures, to help show a better face of Lahore. Some remaining pictures may also need to be changed or added with better ones (such as for the Horse and Cattle Show, airport, parks, stadia and cultural events). Let's try to get the best one's available before inserting them at random. I've also rearranged their alignment to improve the format, as per earlier comment. In the text, I've modified the list of famous roads to make it more complete and informative for a first-time user (otherwise, just street names are useless), and edited the para on the restaurants and food street.

Hope this improves the page. If I've missed out on any copyright info on the images, please provide it so that they are not automatically deleted.

Thanks,

History section

I fixed up the history portion a little. Removed the rudyard kipling reference under history- it was pretty much picked up off the main kipling article and was irrelevant to the history of the city.. if at all it should be mentioned under culture (or the famous lahoris section but that's been removed) but I couldn't really see where it fits in. Also added dates for sikh rule (1799-1849). added cricket world cup in 1996. If anyone has any other ideas for historical events please do add. and someone please fix the Nightlife subheading.. its rather funny but not appropriate.

GDP figures & world population rank[edit]

Hi Blscholljim (talk)! Please refrain from adding unsourced content and self-created figures of GDP and don't remove the population rank of Lahore from topic sentences. Moreover, you're also removing sources from the article. Please discuss the matter here on talk page first without editing any further. Innocent Paki (talk) 09:16, 07 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Info Box Collage[edit]

Is it okay if I update the photo of the Minar-e-Pakistan in the info box collage? It is purple and green, and instead we should use a photo of it with its actual colors. It looks really bad right now.

Also, I propose that instead of having the Badshahi Masjid take up four spots as a large image, we make it regular sized and then also include the Tomb of Jahangir (arguably most important Mughal monument in Pakistan alongside the Lahore Fort), the Grand Jamia Masjid (fourth largest mosque in Pakistan and second largest in Punjab), and the Akbari Sarai (very important Mughal monument in Lahore).

Both changes would look like this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/787892535167025155/868664950007144498/VCC.PNG

Can we make this sentence more meaningful?[edit]

"Lahore was central to the independence movements of both India and Pakistan, with the city being the site of both the declaration of Indian Independence, and the resolution calling for the establishment of Pakistan. It experienced some of the worst rioting during the Partition period preceding Pakistan's independence."

The above sentence makes it seem like the 'declaration of Indian Independence' was made specifically for the modern Republic of India, when instead it was made for undivided India. Any suggestions on how we can reframe this sentence to make it meaningful in this regard? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WillowRook (talk • contribs) 10:43, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
