Change the title of the article from "Demolition of the Babri Masjid" to "Destruction of the Babri Masjid". As another contributor has noted, "demolition" implies a planned activity of dismantling or taking apart. It's quite apparent from the article that the destruction of the mosque was not planned, and it was not systematically dismantled or taken apart. 67.237.178.218 (talk) 22:51, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Kumar Yadav(Judge)" to "Kumar Yadav (judge)", yes the only difference is a space and case change in the piped link which is ordinarily a cosmetic change that should be avoided, but in this case is needed as part of the WP:X3 process as the unspaced redirect will be deleted, thank you. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:D8AB:6E4F:C30A:2F8 (talk) 00:06, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
