The gallery is, to be polite, a bit excessive. Wikipedia is not a photo hosting site; images are here only to enhance an educational understanding of the subject. As such, I'm cutting out at least half of them. If anyone thinks others should be cut, or that one I cut was so necessary, then feel free to alter the final set.

Malls?? Are you people serious about adding such a section? I have never seen any such section over any other similar article.I feel it's making article unnecessarily lengthy.Same is with 'famous past and current residents section. If no one has any problem, then i will make these section short and move much of their content to other page.

It seems hard to believe that the daily mean in December is 34.7 °C. Really? I haven't edited climate data before and I don't fully understand the way that it's sourced, so maybe somebody more knowledgeable can help out. Saibod ( talk) 14:09, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
The main photo of the page seems changed since last few days without any edit made for the same, also it is showing two different pictures in mobile version and desktop version of the page. Mobile version is showing the old better picture while desktop version is showing just an extended part of the previous collage. People knowing the reasons may fix it. A new better picture may also be added. PratyushSinha101 ( talk) 18:40, 21 July 2016 (UTC)PratyushSinha101
Now fixed, thanks to the person who fixed it. Or maybe it was a site bug. PratyushSinha101 ( talk) 19:22, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
Why does the "References" and "External links" section of the article contain messages which discourage addition of links to the article? There are a lot of wikipedia articles even in the good and featured article category which contain more references than this article. When all is good in those articles why such a message in this article? I want to add some more content to the article and in the process will have to add more references and remove those messages if everybody is ok with it.

Of course such values can (and should) be updated regularly. But please provide an independent reliable source for new stats, and do not add speculative values or personal research. Also, WP:CRYSTALBALL applies for future plans, and such plans are better covered in the article's main text - the infobox has no room for necessary context and nuance of complex details. Just a few points for clarification, the removed (questionable) values can be found in the article history if anyone interested wants to work on improving these aspects.

the city would be spread over 1,167 sq. km against the existing 250 sq km. Over 600 sq. km area has been marked as urban area" ref. Accordingly the sub-labels can be updated. Further, the reference currently used is about the master plan still in the process of being approved. Ideally a reference of the approved master plan would be better, such as 1. This document "PATNA MASTER PLAN 2031" provides detailed figures.
I will pause here for your comments. After the infobox has been addressed, I will start the review of other sections. The intro/lede will be reviewed simultaneously and then again right at the end. DTM ( talk) 06:57, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

An IP editor made two changes to the weather box on 20 March.
I have reverted to the version of the weather box of 10:30, 10 March 2024 (UTC).
If we were to use the IP editor's source for UV, we should correctly label the data, and give the data in the source uvindex.io/patna (you can get the data from the chart in the source by hovering the cursor over each point. When I looked the "Downlaod [sic] Patna historical UV index chart PDF of 2023", "... 2022" and "... 2021" links did not work.-- Toddy1 (talk) 07:45, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
