I understand that the lead image should either be of a recognizable skyline of the city or of a famous landmark. But what about image quality? The current image is unclear and is of low resolution. One can't make out much by looking at that image. Maybe a few ideas from the article on Delhi can be borrowed. Any thoughts? -- Dilli Billi ( talk) 19:06, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
How can it be claimed that Mumbai is still India's largest municipality when the most recent estimates say that the municipality of Delhi is 13.7 million residents to Mumbai municipality's 13.6 million residents? -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 09:35, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I made a contribution on History of Mumbai section. The current description just logs down a series of events and dates. I changed the presentation of content to describe the growth in religious, regional and linguistic divide in the city. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Mumbai&oldid=254027434. History is a story of change not a log of events and dates. Every edit I have made is backed with references. Yet I see unreasonable edits from Kensplanet and Docku, deleting the entire change. On grounds like "Hindi, Guj not considered local languages of Bombay although spoken"
Language is the issue of concern for Bombay. Monopolizing the article by one sided views about the city is a matter of concern. There are many different articles about other cities in Wikipedia in which multiple language references are provided. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmedabad, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delhi, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucknow. Why should article on Mumbai not include other language Wiki referenece? Specially Hindi and Gujrati which are widely spoken here?
Deleting someones factual contents without discussing is inappropriate. If some people monopolize the article like this then it will drive away interest in serious contributions. Please provide your views and support to improve the article on these lines. 221.249.25.218 ( talk) 17:39, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi IP 221*: There are several issues with your edits. First, the article is mean to be a summary. Next, the prose has several issues: "city's unique demographics" (unique is a Weasel term. Next this statement: In August of 2008, a legislation was passed in the civic body to have all future documentation of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation – has nothing to do with the city, its an internal matter of the BMC, and should be covered in that article. See Wikipedia:Main article fixation. Next, about the lead languages: To avoid disputes, we transliterate the name with only the official language of the state in which the city is located. Adding Gujarati would result in a subjective call. Adding Hindi is debatable, we have not achieved consensus for that. If you have any issues, or want to debate the policy, please raise it on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indian cities =Nichalp «Talk»= 07:24, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
All who have added comments to my post, thanks for the input. Using terms like Our article' does not help. Nor does it help to come to conclusion about “No one agrees” with just 3 peoples’ comments. No one owns an article on Wikipedia not even its creator. It is publicly owned. There are reasons for my views. Marathi speakers in Mumbai are the largest majority but still less than 50%. Hindi is understood by most citizens here. That makes it a major language. You can find road signs in the city in Gujarati and Hindi in several parts of the city. Hinduism is not awarded a greater status in India. All religions are equal even if Hindus number 80%. Acceptance of a fact by the constitution makes the country what it is today. Majority does not mean others have to be ignored. Marathi was made the official language of Municipal Goverment Of Mumbai in Aug 2008. Same legislation that was rejected in 86. Name of the city was changed in 95. Why after 48 years of independence did this name change happen? Why were there anti South-Indian sentiments in Bombay in 80s then anti-muslim and now anti north-indian. Are there events just dates and facts or is there a pattern of change.
Pickup any modern history book, the subject is made interesting read by prose explaining what change happened over the years, not by a bunch of dates and events. Most of the facts in the changes I did were already there in the article. Every fact I added was backed by references for leading media organization. My saying unique demographics of the city, is not a unique addition by me. There is another place in the article which says "unique topography". We saw nothing wrong with that. Demographics of Bombay are unique for India and for the world. What language is official is passed by legislation, which language is spoken and understood by a major population in the city is a fact. Bombay Stock Exchange has its website in Hindi and Gujarati along with English. BSE has done it because those are the major languages spoke by its traders. Such recognition is not have to be always a political decision passed in legislature it is just the recognition of a fact. VT is still called VT in spite of name change. Sahar airport is still called Sahar airport in spite of name change. Mumbai in Hindi and Marathi is written exactly the same way in Devanagari script. One may say Marathi another will say Hindi. Hindi move industry is in Bombay why Bombay why not some other city? Hindi is a major language spoken here, perhaps the largest second language spoken here if not first. It cannot be denied by legislation.
There have been attacks by activist of some political parties on businesses and people in the city. Bombay Dyeing was asked to stop using that name. The incidents are many.The narrow minded view shown on the streets should not be shown here on the article also. In the name of protecting the article from vandalism good faith edits should not simply be deleted all together. There is an alternative view to what some hold. I don’t intend to change the view of everyone. It is not possible to change peoples’ views in such a sort period of time. The intent here is to attract alternative, non-prejudiced view. Apologize for the long commentary. Please provide your suggestions and more importantly please spend some time thinking about these issues. 221.249.25.218 ( talk) 17:04, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
This phrase "high standard of living" in the intro is very problematic, as if I'm not mistaken many or most of these migrants are living in shantytown slums:
"Mumbai's business opportunities, as well as its high standard of living, attract migrants from all over India and, in turn, make the city a potpourri of many communities and cultures."
In general the article seems to be portraying a false impression of a thoroughly modern and prosperous Western-style city -- rather than a teeming and desperate developing world megalopolis with a vast divide between rich and poor.
Could we see some slum photos as well instead of the travel brochure? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.154.212 ( talk) 04:42, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

I wonder, why Wikipedia administrators do not block this article from obnoxious "IP Number users" so as to end this frequent, troublesome, and anonymous foul editing? Take a look at this article's History— for example, shameless edits from "users" (in reality, vandals) like 209.155.27.147. In my opinion, "IP Number users" should not even have a talk page, as they are just occasional editors, mostly anonymous! If they don't care to register in Wikipedia, why should Wikipedia care about them? --AVM (talk) 01:08, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

The Nehru Center (the image with the tall building) is part of the planetarium complex. And a planetarium is an educational institution and India's best planetarium. There is no need to change this image with an image of some obscure brown building which shows nothing.

Dabbawalls have nothing to do with Mumbai's culture. They are part of the economy. Their jobs are economic. Just like the stock traders or taxi drivers do not influence the culture of a city, the people who carry lunches do not influence the culture!

It is Wikipedia policy that controversial or important edits be discussed on the talk page before they are added on the main page. Furthermore, for featured articles such as Mumbai, it is important to first discuss and gain consensus before changing an image. These images have been there for years and you need to gain consensus before you change them. Please take this advice and please do not participate in edit wars. Thanks. Nikkul ( talk) 21:23, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
Additionally, I would request everyone look at WP:FA in order to gain a better understanding of what a model article should look like. The Mumbai page as it is right now is a featured article and is a model for the perfect Wikipedia article. Please be mindful of this before you change important parts of it.
To new users like Suyog talk to me!, I would request you to please understand this before making drastic changes and bold decisions. Your suggestion of adding an image gallery is a direct violation of WP:FA. Nikkul ( talk) 21:57, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
(unindent) Cut it out both of you.... Firstly, WP:Civility. Secondly, Nikkul, can you pass a link where FA has said no gallery... I'm not able to find it. I don't think Suyog committed a crime by suggesting so, so its not a good idea to whip him like he actually created a gallery. The only edit that I've seen him make is the Nehru image, nothing else. Have put my opinions on that fiasco below.
Third, the image caption hasn't been changed yet. I'll change it to the correct caption. Fourth, its best to stick to the wikipedia related stuff on talk pages... let the sermonizing be left to the talk pages, and even there, best to talk wrt edits. Thanks.

File:Mumbai skyline B&W.jpg: The current caption gives an impression that the img is shot in 1970s. The img is not related to 1970s, the flickr page clearly says that the image was taken in 2007, NOT 1970s. This is a misreprsentation, so I insist we remove it OR reword the caption saying explicitly that the image is photographed in 2007. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 07:06, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

The img is not related to 1970s, the flickr page clearly says that the image was taken in 2007, NOT 1970s. This is a misreprsentation, so I insist we remove it OR reword the caption saying explicitly that the image is photographed in 2007. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 07:06, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
