Conflicts/ Clean Up
editUnder "External Links", the link "Lalbagh Protests" seems to link to a purely comercial site, hocking hair care products and baldness cures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrishibbard7 (talk • contribs) 23:03, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
The Gate (North / South / East / West) information is inaccurate. needs to be corrected

File:Glasshouse and fountain at lalbagh.jpg to appear as POTD soon
editHello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Glasshouse and fountain at lalbagh.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on October 7, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-10-07. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 17:14, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Style
editThe article has some unnecessary info about where the gates lead to making it seem like a travel guide, can this be removed please? I will do it in case no one has any issues.

Lal Bagh → Lalbagh Botanical Garden – Proper name, see here [1]. There are also a number of other Lalbagh places in south Asia. Gryffindor (talk) 17:14, 28 May 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. Natg 19 (talk) 00:51, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Support clearly more consistent. Capitals00 (talk) 07:03, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose: Lal bagh qualifies as WP:COMMONNAME, nearly all the sources refer it as Lal Bagh. Other places named lal bagh has zero impact on this place's common name.--Ab207 (talk) 14:08, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose: Appears to be common name. A huge number of incoming wiklinks. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:39, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose as article name is in-accordance with WP:COMMONNAME ~ Amkgp ✉ 06:11, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME.--Ortizesp (talk) 06:17, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Regarding watch tower and kempegowda
editThe intro para suggests that the Watch tower was built by Kempegowda II, but other places suggest link the watch tower to Kempegowda I (which i have since removed). Since no citation has been added in this regard, wanted to know if anyone had any credible sources about the origin of the watch tower so that I can add the citation.
Thanks! --ShellPandey (talk) 07:15, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
- There really is no credible source, the recent book on Lal Bagh by Vijay Thiruvady is NOT a reliable source, it is self-published to start with. A reliable book would cite their primary sources. There is simply NO historian claiming this, nor is there any documentary evidence for kemputhota and the other claims made in the article. There are a mainly political factors involved in ascribing the origin to Kempegowda, it would appear. Shyamal (talk) 04:09, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
