Spelling[edit]

What's this "Shalamar" misspelling? It's always "Shalimar" in English. --Wetman 14:58, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

What's with your hostile attitude? Take a chill pill. Shalamar is how the signs posted at the actual site refer to the gardens. When you enter the garden, a UNESCO World heritage sign reads Shalamar & not Shalimar gardens. Although, I don't understand what's the big fuss about it, anyway? Who the bloody hell cares if there's an i or an a in Shalamar?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.251.135.126 (talk) 22:30, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of the Name[edit]

It would be nice if someone could add the meaning of the name without getting side-tracked into arguments!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.216.11.5 (talk) 20:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3 Shalimars?[edit]

A contributor to Kashmir is claiming there are 3 Shalimar Gardens. According to him, the Shalimar mentioned in the Kashmir article is not the Shalimar at Lahore.--AI 10:18, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV, writing style[edit]

"In all these pictures below, not a single fountain can be seen running because the water supply lines to the garden were deliberately broken in 1999, merely to widen a road close to the garden."

I am changing this line partly because it is a POV and partly because it is non-encyclopaedic in its writing style. (some time later...) ... and I am going to tidy up the whole thing because the language is generally clunky. Polocrunch 14:24, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Aerial Photograph[edit]

It would be sweet if someone could upload a free aerial photograph of the garden to give some understanding of the scope of how big'n'beautiful this wonderful ancient site really is. Anyone?!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.251.135.126 (talk) 23:54, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
