lead section is wrong about the misomer thing

the page has "(Dal Lake is a misnomer as Dal in Kashmiri means lake)," in the very first line of the lead statement and as a native kashmiri speaker, i find this odd that someone has written this. Who even thought of writing this ? this does not make any sense. Think about it. if the word "dal" means a lake in kashmiri, then is the name of the bigger lake, wular lake in bandipora district as "wular dal"?

This is actually a nickname, kind of like how colgate is casually used for meaning all toothpastes. This is similar. dal in local kashmiri language means that particular lake only. Nothing more. we dont say "wular lake", but only "wular" because its commonly understood what that means. I am removing this sentence and if any person wants to discuss that, please do that in this section — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mhveinvp (talk • contribs) 07:32, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria due to the large amount of uncited text throughout the article. Is anyone willing to address this, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 02:32, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
