The article has multiple 'citation needed' tags. A few citations are lacking some parameters. Further, the article does not adequately describe (Hindutva) hatred towards the monument. Historical detailing related to its construction fails to provide enough context. DTM (talk) 11:36, 26 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I think the 'Gallery' section of the article should be removed at least, per WP:GALLERY. --Yoonadue (talk) 16:20, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Islam Info Box

The Taj Mahal has a mosque on its grounds, has Quranic scripture on its walls, and is a tomb for Muslim royalty. As such, especially the first point, I believe the info box should list its affiliation as Islam or Sunni Islam, and the info box should be made green. Thoughts on this?

Remove the big autopromo

There is a huge autopromo message from a banned user, we could get rid off. Обмен (talk) 15:01, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Seems to be template vandalism, so I've removed the IPAc-en template temporarily. This is unlikely to be an issue with just this article, so I'll look into it. AndyTheGrump (talk) 15:27, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

In the paragraph on the origin of words, what is the relationship with Persian?

What is the relationship between Persian? The two words are Arabic. Then why is there a common origin, Arabic and Persian, even though there is no such thing in the first place? 109.107.251.106 (talk) 17:03, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
