Infobox image

The earlier used infobox image, of Changthangi goats near Pangong was deleted due to serious deliberate deception by the uploader. I have replaced that image with one of the Karzok village and Tso Moriri in Leh district. UnpetitproleX (talk) 06:35, 16 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Unnecessary POV in some historical

Latest comment: 7 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

See the section "Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir" for the sentence:

"Dras, Kargil and Leh were liberated and Ladakh cleared of the infiltrators."

You have a territory controlled by A. It is invaded by B. It is then invaded and taken from B by C. Who is "liberating" and who is an "infiltrator"?

Obviously there is a lot of background here, but the language describing the historical events does not have to use emotion-laden language to describe the historical event. RayKiddy (talk) 18:00, 30 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Consensus of current format

Latest comment: 17 days ago5 comments3 people in discussion

is anything problem in this format of multiple images used in this article? Adding emblem of ladakh? Full map ? If not then please keep this format. Thanks Third003 (talk) 03:41, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

No comment on the images, but there is consensus to not have flags, seals or other emblems in the infoboxes of any of the disputed territories. - Arjayay (talk) 08:20, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

ok Third003 (talk) 04:00, 17 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

My only comment is that there are way too many images, and the page is very cluttered. If anything, we should be deleting some images that don't add value to the page. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:24, 16 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
