Geography section

»A significant geographical aspect of Assam is that it contains three of six physiographic divisions of India – The Northern Himalayas (Eastern Hills), The Northern Plains (Brahmaputra plain) and Deccan Plateau (Karbi Anglong). As the Brahmaputra flows in Assam the climate here is cold and there is rainfall most of the month.« This part stinks to heaven.

Thousands of square miles

@Rasnaboy: Greetings! Regarding this revert: "1000² mi" means "millions of linear miles". "1000 mi²" means "thousands of square miles. Given that this is a measure of area, I assume this column should use the latter. We could also just say "thousands" as we say "millions" in words in the other column; "'000s" is a bit non-standard. -- Beland (talk) 18:13, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Beland:. I realize I made a mistake without noticing that part. You're right, it should be "thousands of square miles" or "'000 mi²". But I'm not sure if "'000s" is a non-standard one (especially in column heads of tables, when the columns are running short of space). I've reverted to what you've suggested. Apologies for my mistake. And thanks a lot for correcting. Please check if the current version is fine. Cheers. Rasnaboy (talk) 04:01, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I gave it a slight trim just to save on horizontal space; looks good. Thanks! -- Beland (talk) 06:51, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notable people section

@Chaipau: Hi, it is regarding this section. It seems a list of cherry-picked individuals (by mostly IPS and newbies since I've watching this article) who are already listed in respective town/city/district articles, as well as in the List of people from Assam making unnecessary. I believe we have List of people from Assam in the see also section as in Maharashtra or link it in the Notable people section using Template:Main. What do you suggest? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:14, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Fylindfotberserk: I think we can remove the list of names from here. The Maharashtra page is a good example. Chaipau (talk) 21:37, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
