What a mess

This whole article is a complete mess. It needs to be reverted back to a bare stub if someone with knowledge of the subject can't clean it up. -- OlEnglish ^(Talk) 07:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

I disagree that it should be reverted to a stub. A number of facts have been backed by cited sources since the above comment was made. Most of the remainder of the article is plausible and accords with what I know of this part of India. I agree that the article needs a thorough edit for style and to remove unencyclopedic statements, but it would be a shame to throw out the baby with the bath water.

Agree with Marco Polo. I also think that the problems in this article are endemic to contributions from the Subcontinent. It should be remembered that the contributors have mostly learned English as a second (or even third or fourth) language. Furthermore Indian English is somewhat based on Victorian and Edwardian models. If you were to read material published in the U.K. or U.S.A. during those periods, you will see parallel problems: peacock terms, boosterism and wordiness. But as Marco Polo says, there is also valuable material in these writeups that should not be discarded.

WP needs a constructive approach to improving articles like this. We don't want to scare off contributors from the region so that yet again Indian (plus Nepalese, Pakistani etc. etc.) history and geography are mainly authored by europeans. LADave (talk) 01:50, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

I agree to you. I am from Muzaffarpur itself and most of the information provided are credible and verifiable. I would like to contribute in improving this article. Please don't revert it to a stub.

Change " It is the second bigggest and important city in Bihar after Capital Patna " to " It is the fourth largest city in Bihar after Patna, Gaya and Bhagalpur " . According to Census 2011 ( refer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Bihar_by_population ) , Muzaffarpur can not be termed the " 2nd largest " city in Bihar after Patna. Population is a world wide accepted measure used to rank cities in a state/province/country.Area Wise, Bhagalpur and Gaya are way larger cities in Bihar in comparison to Muzaffarpur. Gaya is the second most important place, being a hub of tourism because of Bodh Gaya and it also has a functional Airport. Bhagalpur is famous in India as the Silk City, and is the second largest Silk hub in India after Karnataka region. Bhagalpur is also a hub of tourism because of the the Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary and Remains of Vikramshila University .And it's also the first city selected from Bihar to be developed as a Smart City. Hence it is factually incorrect to term Muzaffarpur the " second largest and important city in Bihar ". 117.227.72.18 (talk) 08:46, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
