I believe the section on Pune Metro needs to be constantly updated to reflect progress of construction and opening of new services. Any help from fellow editors would be most welcome.Thanks. Jonathansammy (talk) 16:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

first paragraph in Etymology section mentions 10th century as the earliest reference to the city.

second paragraph lists two dates from 8th century for an already established city. which of these is the correct earliest reference for the city? 188.167.97.197 (talk) 22:22, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be good to have map(s) showing the expansion of the city boundries through history, and especially during the last 150 years.Most probably there isn't something like that on Wikimedia, and so it will have to be created by editor(s) experienced in generating maps.

​An IP editor recently tried to alter the text of the lead to show that the area was 527 km² (203 sq mi) instead of 516.18 km² (199.30 sq mi), but he/she made errors when altering the citation template. I think that we ought to modify the body of the article to explain how the area of Pune has changed over time. Any explanation also needs to state the definition used (for example whether they mean Pune Municipal Corporation, or something else).

If the URL to pmc.gov.in does not work for you, go to the top level of the site and work through the hierarchy - sorry this seems to be a feature of some website designs.-- Toddy1 (talk) 15:56, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
