Talk:Sikkim

In sikkim there is no language called sikkimese. Main languages of sikkim are Nepali, bhutia, lepcha, etc. Here the bhutia language is represented as sikkimese which is highly misleading. Please change this Kkk1996 (talk) 15:19, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

:In Wikipedia we use something called the WP:COMMONNAME In this case, the commonname of the subject 'in Wikipedia' is Sikkimese language not Bhutia language, hence we use the former. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 15:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

::That means wikipedia is misleading and discrminating to other sikkimese language speaking people like nepali, lepcha, mangar, newar, limboo etc. if nepali, lepcha are mentioned separately then bhutia should also be mentioned separately Kkk1996 (talk) 16:13, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

:::That's the policy, can't change it. If you want, you can request a name change RfC at Talk:Sikkimese language. If the RfC is in favor of the change "Sikkimese language → Bhutia Language", then only it can be changed throughout Wikipedia, at which point the new name will be the common name. Obviously, common name depends on the most common usage in English language reliable sources. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 16:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Sikkim is among the first few states in India to have banned plastic bags in 1998. It is also an organic state that promotes organic farming. These details should be mentioned on this article. Abhijitgupta28 (talk) 19:38, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

:Organic farming is covered already. There is a different mention of plastic where your addition would also fit. CMD (talk) 00:28, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

::In Government and Politics section, we may add this....'In 1998, Sikkim became the first Indian state to ban disposable plastic bags.' just after the reference 81. Abhijitgupta28 (talk) 13:41, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected|Sikkim|answered=yes}}

Under Geography subheading Flora and Fauna, pls change the image of Cymbidium goeringii to an image of Dendrobium nobile. Both flowers are known as noble orchids, but only Dendrobium nobile is the state flower of Sikkim. Scorchids (talk) 04:40, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

There is a Wikipedia page for Nathu La and Cho La clashes but it is not linked to this page which I find odd. It would fit under the "protectorate" paragraph that covers the 1950s to 1970s, which currently skips over the "war" in 1967. Raven Monty (talk) 05:48, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
