Fairy Meadow -2

Mr Spireguy. Thanks. I tried to write article about Fairy Meadow but could not as the name is already there. Can it possible that Fairy Meadow use twice. I have to add Nanga Parbat for article.

Well Fairy Meadow has its own attraction. I have gone there twice. Many people dream to go Fairy Meadow. It is many kilometres away from the base camp as you can see in the picture.

I'm a bit suspicious about the Fairy Meadow section, it has been rewritten in a manner that looks rather like attempted advertising to me, or least contains duplicate sections and 'micro-local' information. I have contented myself with correcting the language, however, it would be good if someone who has been there would like to rewrite it Summitscribbler 11:56, 25 May 2007


There are two Fairy Meadow articles as noted here. Both were very similar and, as noted elsewhere, had microlocal content that looked very much like advertising. I have cleaned up one (https://en.wikipedia.org/Fairy_Meadows,_Nanga_Parbat) although it needs further work. The other (https://en.wikipedia.org/Fairy_Meadow_Nanga_Parbat) has been left. The latter should be deleted and/or merged into the former. I'm not sure whether the former should be merged into Nanga Parbat, and leave that to the discretion of others.

Incorrect location

Please fix it Pranav88in (talk) 16:19, 4 August 2018 (UTC) Done.

Name and location error

The name is derived from Sanskrit words नंगा means naked and पर्बत means mountain. So why do admins delete the Sanskrit name and post the Urdu name, I'm saying that post both names as it is derived from sankrit name नंगा पर्बत (Nanga Parbat) and native is Urdu name Diamer (دیامر) And the area is disputed so mention it like it is located in Pakistan occupied Kashmir because it is illegally occupied not by legal methods which we have proof. And when you have no justification then you have protected the page, means whatever you say is correct and rest is disruptive editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.57.202.46 (talk • contribs) 10:10, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

I cannot speak to the naming question, except to ask for the sources for your assertion. As for the disputed status: the article Gilgit-Baltistan has extensive discussion about the status of that region, including a background of the different ways of referring to it. Briefly, "Pakistan-occupied Kashmir" is used only by Indian sources, while the United Nations uses the term "Pakistan administered Kashmir". Misplaced Pages uses the terminology found in authoritative and neutral sources. All this is discussed with plenty of reliable independent sources in Gilgit-Baltistan, and it doesn't need to be repeated in every article about places or geographical features within that region. This article was protected because of the many IP users changing wording decided by consensus into wording that does not conform to the neutral point of view policy, or to the policy of verifiability and reliable sources. --bonadea contributions talk 13:40, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

@bonadea, with regards to the naming question: here's the source: https://www.britannica.com/place/Nanga-Parbat. Being a Sanskrit scholar, I can also affirm that the name is derived from Jamailfaroukh (talk) 13:41, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Peotection for article

Looking at the sheer amount of ultra nationalist indians starting edit wars on articles like these through words like "Pakistani Occupied Kashmir" and other pro indian propaganda. I suggest it would be better to add protection to every prominent mountains in Gilgit Baltistan and Azad kashmir regions of Pakistan Administered Kashmir. 203.175.72.22 (talk) 20:39, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
