Edit request

One sentence in the second paragraph of the article, "The highest elevation in Nepal is Mount Everest, Earth's highest mountain, rising 8,848 m (29,029 ft) above sea level." is very out of place with the rest of the paragraph's historical content. The fact about Everest is already mentioned in the first paragraph. Please consider removing this sentence.--105.235.159.114 (talk) 18:46, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 1 May 2018

This request does not suggest any textual change, only a reordering. At the bottom of section 2.4 "Republic of Nepal (2008–present)", the paragraphs are currently ordered like so:

In February 2014...

In 20 September 2015...

On 25 April 2015...

In October 2015...

It would be more logical and thus easier to read if they were ordered like so, instead:

In February 2014...

On 25 April 2015...

In 20 September 2015...

In October 2015...

This is because April 2015 is chronologically earlier than September 2015. Each of these paragraphs are fairly self-contained and so reordering these paragraphs does not affect the meaning of the text. 209.240.125.139 (talk) 19:54, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

'where are the citations?' please remove dubious claims without citations. In the history section, the article states that "In 1923, the United Kingdom and Nepal formally signed an agreement of friendship that superseded the Sugauli Treaty of 1816." with a reference. So, I went to reference and looked it up. It is a bogus page with just pictures. While Nepal and the UK did sign a new treaty, there is no evidence of the new treaty superseding the old one. Citation needed for the claim that 'the new treaty superseded the older one'. It has some geo-political significance as later in 1950, the Republic of India cancelled all treaties the UK had entered with neighboring countries during British Raj. So, the technicality of indian claims over the ceded territories like Darjeeling, Sikkim, Kumaon, and, Garhwal can be challenged. I am not contradicting the claim made but would like to see a citation of it if it is indeed to be included in the article. There is also no citation for absurd claims like, 'By 250 BCE, the southern regions came under the influence of the Maurya Empire of North India and parts of Nepal, later on became a nominal vassal state under the Gupta Empire in the fourth century CE' in Ancient history section. These are major claims to be made and so should be properly cited. 'https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Land_cover_map_of_Nepal_using_Landsat_30_m_(2010)_data.jpg' shows the entirety of modern-day Nepal's southern border with modern india covered by 30km thick forest with 'malarial mosquitoes'. I would assume it to be even wider and denser forest some 2000 years ago. So, how did Mauryan overcome Malaria some 2000 years ago? This is a contentious political issue in Nepal as to determine who the indigenous people of those areas were. Nepalese consider Tharus who have high anti-malarial blood cells to be the indigenous population. 'https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3041928'. Indians claim that 'madheshis' who have no natural resistance to malaria are also indigenous population of that area and not immigrants from neighboring bihar. So, please either add citations or remove dubious claims stated without providing any citations.

Nation

The word nation is used a lot. It is an incorrect term, as a nation means a large aggregate of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language. A nation is the people. The correct term would be a state, as a state is defined as a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government. Please change it. If you don't believe me, look it up. 2602:304:8925:C90:58F7:1432:3B0B:E9F4 (talk) 18:56, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

To anyone following my work in the article

I am well aware of the article's growth in size. I have been tracking it in relation with some of the other longest articles in Wikipedia and it is not quite there yet. I hope to finish expanding before it gets that bloated. That would then be the most opportune time to start trimming; by first removing redundancies, then decreasing word-to-information ratio, and only then evaluating the higher things, like what we can do without and which are completely undue for a summary article. Or, at least, that's how I'd be most comfortable proceeding. Thank you for reading! Usedtobecool ^TALK ✨ 13:30, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Inclusion of Bhimsen Thapa in the article

Where is the inclusion of Nepal under the control of Mukhtiyar Bhimsen Thapa for 31 years between 1806-1837? Bhimsen regime saw the defense of the nation against British company government, a large number of reforms in various sectors, infrastructural developments, development of strong military base and its modernization, commercial developments, judicial and legal developments, etc. He is responsible for protecting Nepalese sovereignty against colonial powers like British and effectively running the administration against the burdens of immature kings, princes, and resistance from conspiring nobles and ministers.

He is comparable to King Prithvi Narayan Shah and ahead of other Nepalese rulers like Jang Bahadur Rana, Chandra Shamsher JBR, Judhha SJBR, King Mahendra and King Birendra, all of whom had stable regimes. If there will be a vote for The Greatest Nepalese, he would easily be in the top 3.

Hi Takdeerr that is not going to happen.
Wikipedia is "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit", although in fact this page is semi-protected, and has been for some time.
That means that, to edit the article, you must have created an account and that account must be Autoconfirmed, which requires the user to have made a certain number of edits, over a certain period of time. Looking at the article history, it has not suffered from extensive recent vandalism, so that protection level is likely to remain.
We do not protect articles, or increase the protection level, "in case" there is vandalism, only when there is clear vandalism over a relatively recent period of time. - Arjayay (talk) 17:23, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Regarding status of religion in Nepal

As we all know that since the introduction of Interum constitution of 2015, Nepal have adopted democracy with secularism. But here the secularim in Nepal means ; cultural, religious freedom, along with protection of old age religion since time immemorial. So here the old age religion refers to Hinduism which have a history of very old presence in the country and have been given special protection under the constitution of Nepal in the context of secularism, while maintaining religious and cultural freedom. So Hinduism as a religion has been given privileges in the Nepal's constitution. Below is the references regarding the status of Hinduism under Nepal constitution -

Suggestion for section on science and technology

Hi, just a suggestion, many country articles have sections or subsections for 'science and technology', this could be a section on this article as well. The UNESCO Science Report may be a good place ot start and can copied from directly using these instructions. Thanks John Cummings (talk) 12:38, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

There used to be a Science and technology section. I removed it because it didn't say anything worth saying. When I rewrote most of the article I left the section out, because I could not think of anything worth saying either. The report you link to talks mostly about economy and education. The science-tech proper included things like (a) using tablets to record the damages of the earthquake instead of writing on paper and (b) the constitution mentioning protection and encouragement for scientific endeavours. I have read a few books on Nepal (emphasis on few though) and none of them had anything devoted to science and tech. Usedtobecool ☎️ 04:18, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Attributing remittance spending patterns to lack of entrepreneurial skills = non-neutral?

The subsection "Foreign employment" currently ends by saying, "Though millions have raised themselves out of poverty, due to a lack of entrepreneurial skills, the remittance is largely spent on real estate and consumption." There are two sources cited for this, an op-ed by a former Nepali ambasador to Qatar and an article on labor migration in Nepal from the ILO. Only the op-ed actually includes this "entreprenurial skills" framing, with the ILO article merely stating that remittance spending made up 25% of Nepal's GDP in 2013. Since that framing is only one of many possible, and it originates as a specific person's opinion, I think per WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV it would be better to describe it as coming from the former ambassador explicitly if we're going to include this material.

I think it could make sense to rework this passage along the lines of:

Remittances make up a significant proportion of Nepal's GDP, between 23.9% and 27.6% from 2015–2020. Surya Nath Mishra, a former Nepali ambassador to Qatar, feels the standard of living of the families of Nepalese migrant workers would be raised to a greater extent by remittances if they spent the money more widely on business activities as opposed to on personal expenses.

That's if we're going to keep the op-ed as a source at all, which I'm not really sure is justified—it seems possible that it gives undue weight to Mishra's perspective, since a single op-ed doesn't make it clear that his stance is especially widespread. As such, I would also be in favor of removing the sentence that uses the op-ed as a source, or supplementing it with analysis of the relationship between remittances and standard of living in Nepal from other sources. For example, this Nepal Economic Form article broadly shares Mishra's perpsective, but this peer-reviewed analysis of the Nepal Living Standards Survey 2010/2011 concludes that remittance-receiving families spend more on education, health, and durable goods such as appliances compared to non-remittance-receiving families, which the authors interpret as signaling long-term gains in standard of living for remittance-receiving families. By drawing from these and maybe other sources we could give a more neutral and comprehensive presentation of the literature on remittance spending and standards of living in Nepal, instead of only presenting one author's take. Of course, we could just link to Remittances to Nepal in the Foreign Employment section and cite Mishra's article there instead if we want to make use of it, and not go into more detail than that in this article.

Since I'm not extended confirmed, I can't make any changes along these lines myself, and any possible change like this seems too substantial for an edit request without prior discussion in any case. How does everyone else here feel? Mesocarp (talk) 00:27, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

I agree with you that the simplistic "lack of entrepreneurial skills" is not supported by literature that we have. I looked at some online links and they all seemed to think the reasons were more complex than that. However, I think "raised themselves out of poverty" covers long-term positive outcomes of raised standard of living, and increased expenditure in nutrition, health, education and goods". That said, I am open to alternative wording. Remittances have a significant impact at the household level because they allow migrants and their families an opportunity for increased income and a better standard of living. Income earned from foreign employment has reduced poverty by providing much-needed finances for household consumption, health care and education.[3] The money sent home by Nepalis working abroad has played a crucial role in lifting people from the traps of poverty.[4]

Sources mention how little of the remittance is used for starting or expanding businesses.[5]

This is the top-level article (WP:SUMMARY), so we need to be very succinct and can be more general. With that in mind, do you have a proposal? Usedtobecool ☎️ 04:00, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

What about something like, "Millions have raised themselves out of poverty through remittances; families of migrant workers tend to have better access to healthcare and education than they would without remittance income."? If we want to keep it terse, that seems like a statement all the sources we've brought up agree on. I wonder if we should also link to Remittances to Nepal in that section ("Foreign employment")? If someone is curious about the broader implications for Nepal's economy, a more detailed breakdown of spending, possible reasons for the spending patterns, etc., that seems like the place to look, and right now there's no way to find out about that article from this one.

‘australoid’ is an archaic and racist category with no scientific basis

Please, please remove it. The sentence which cites a ‘Hodgson’ from the 1800s in the section on Ancient Nepal is ridiculous and embarrassing to read.

It’s fucking stupid that anyone with the ability to write would think that such old information is appropriate to reproduce, and almost beyond belief that they were not aware of the scientific racism behind the -oid designation. (I.e. mongoloid, australoid, etc).

Rfc on the official name of Nepal

Is the current official name of Nepal Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal or just Nepal?--Mike Rohsopht (talk) 05:49, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

The source cited in the lead suggests the former. If you disagree, you can provide additional sourcing and discuss it on the talk page. Note that it is best to reserve RfCs for use in content disputes that have failed to be resolved through normal discussion on the talk page. WhinyTheYounger (WtY)(talk, contribs) 13:37, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't see any dispute by a quick perusal of the edit history- but feel free to correct if wrong- so I think you should go ahead and change it from "officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal " to "formerly the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal." If the UN has changed the name, that seems good enough for me. Tchouppy (talk) 15:29, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

• Mike Rohsopht, RfCs are for discussions which have reached an impasse or become otherwise intractable. They're a last resort, not a first. I think the suggestion for changing it to "Formerly...", with the UN source cited to indicate that the official name is now just "Nepal", is sufficient, and I don't think an RfC is needed at all for that.

Hey Mike Rohsopht, the name "Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal" was officially adopted in 2008.[6] The country just being called "Nepal" was put forward by the Oli government in 2020.[7][8] However, it was refused by the State Affairs and Good Governance Committee in the House of Representatives.[9] Then nothing happened. Bada Kaji (talk • श्रीमान् गम्भीर) 13:59, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

@Bada Kaji: That article was dated 9 November 2020, but according to UNTERM, "Pursuant to the note verbale dated 16 November 2020 from the Permanent Mission of Nepal addressed to the United Nations and all permanent and observer missions, the country name was changed from "Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal" to "Nepal". Effective date: 14 December 2020 (date of communication from the Protocol and Liaison Service)."

What does the phrase "Tibet of China" in the second sentence mean?

The second sentence of the article, describing Tibet's national borders, reads: "It is mainly situated in the Himalayas, but also includes parts of the Indo-Gangetic Plain, bordering Tibet of China to the north, and India in the south, east, and west, while it is narrowly separated from Bangladesh by the Siliguri Corridor, and from Bhutan by the Indian state of Sikkim."

To me, "Tibet of China" appears to be an editing error. I cannot figure out the meaning of the phrase. Adding some clarifying words would help. I suggest: "bordering the Tibetan region of China to the north . . . "

Thoughts? Tdavey (talk) 22:10, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

"Tibet of China" is short for "Tibet Autonomous Region of China", which I think is better than saying just "China", because it is only Tibet that Nepal borders and because Tibet is not just any place. I do not consider myself qualified to say what the best wording might be, as long as it is something that makes clear it's the place called "Tibet" rather than a geographical Tibet region that Nepal borders, because the sentence is about the human-made borders.

As per the above Wikipedia page 17,800 were killed and 1,300 missings so effectively death was around ~19,100. Since most missing people should be considered dead except a few.

In Nepal, most people agree to more than 17,000 deaths. So 16,000 is wrong. If we consider missing people dead then the figure is 19,000 and most probably all missing people are dead except a few who came back.

Please change. "In 1996, the Maoist Party started a violent bid to replace the royal parliamentary system with a people's republic.[60] This led to the long Nepali Civil War and more than 16,000 deaths."

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Your argument that missing people should be added to the death count is quite unusual.

Actualcpscm (talk) 18:22, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

17,800 killed overall is the source of Wikipedia, if you check the link below. In that case death toll is 17,800 not 16,000 displayed on the page. Similarly if we presume most of the missing people alive then also death toll is 17,800 not 16,000. Though most of the missing people may be dead because it's been 20 years they didn't come back.

So I think its wise to put another caste link under Khas-arya. I think it would be quite backwards of us to establish Khas-arya with only the deemed "upper caste" groups.

Oli's cabinet directed the UN to refer to itself as Nepal, so it won't be placed under states starting with F. The 2015 Constitution explicitly refers to the nation as the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, and as far as I'm aware there hasn't been an amendment on the subject. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:EmilePersaud 00:09, 28 November 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by EmilePersaud (talk • contribs)

"the flag carrier in shambles"

This phrase appears under the Tourism section as one of the reasons why the tourist industry faces challenges to growth. However, the phrase makes little sense in English. Possibly this is a mistranslation of a Nepali phrase? I could not find the point in page history when the phrase was added, so I lack all context for the addition. 98.29.142.35 (talk) 05:05, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

The flag carrier in question is Nepal Airlines. I've reworded, and tagged that whole history portion as needing citations. CMD (talk) 06:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Correcting Grammar. Change this line: Nepal used to be referred as 'Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal' until Nepal Government decided to use just 'Nepal' as official name of the country.

Could the references to "Nepalese" be changed over to "Nepali"? Nepalese is an incorrect way to denote the people of Nepal. Per the Foreign Minister: https://www.sbs.com.au/language/nepali/en/article/youve-been-getting-our-name-wrong-says-nepals-foreign-minister/pp6bznae5 JadenStar10 (talk) 10:20, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

There are many sources that use both 'Nepali' and 'Nepalese' for the citizens of Nepal, so I don't see any need to change it.
