Two protected redirects, Bombay and Talk:Bombay, need redirect category (rcat) templates added. Please modify them as follows:

• Bombay from this:

#REDIRECT [[Mumbai]]
[[Category:Printworthy redirects|Bombay]]
{{R from alternative name}}

• to this:

#REDIRECT [[Mumbai]]

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from move}}
{{R from historic name}}
{{R hatnote}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

• and then Talk:Bombay from this:

#REDIRECT [[Talk:Mumbai]]

• to this:

#REDIRECT [[Talk:Mumbai]]

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from move}}
{{R from historic name}}
}}

• WHEN YOU COPY & PASTE, PLEASE LEAVE THE SKIPPED LINE BLANK FOR READABILITY.

The {{Redirect category shell}} template is used to sort redirects into one or more categories. When {{pp-protected}} and/or {{pp-move}} suffice, the Redirect category shell template will detect the protection level(s) and categorize the redirect automatically. (Also, the categories will be automatically removed or changed when and if protection is lifted, raised or lowered.) Thank you in advance!

Info Box

Demonyms and name

Before the late '90s early 2000s, people from Bombay called themselves "Bombayites", a term still in very popular usage by older generations and many people of the Anglo-Indian community. Only the younger generation and some Marathi people refer to themselves as "Mumbaikar", however this term is quickly gaining pace. I'd suggest to add this in the infobox under "demonym" along with "Mumbaikar".

The name "Bombay" is also still very commonly used , such the Bombay High Court, on public property throughout the city such as manhole covers and light posts, airport and railway codes, banks and trading companies, food items etc. I'd suggest to modify the sentence "formerly known as Bombay" to "also known as Bombay, the official name until 1995", similar to the Calcutta page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Proudmumbaikar (talk • contribs) 13:53, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

This gets changed every few months because some people can't seem to deal with the reality that English language usage does not follow the Indian government's pronouncements. It seems to have been straightened out on the 1st of March. --Khajidha (talk) 17:28, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

If the population is roughly 18 million and the area is 4335 km2 then the population density should be around 5000 per km2 yet it is showing 25000. That doesn't look right at all 210.50.6.166 (talk) 03:57, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

local pronunciation

I understand the decision to not have the name in any Indic scripts to prevent edit wars about which ones to add, but shouldn't we have at least the most common local pronunciation? It seems very weird and wrong to only have the English pronunciation. Is [ˈmumbəi] the most common local pronunciation? --Espoo (talk) 21:43, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Espoo, There's a blanket ban on the use of Indic scripts but not on different pronunciations written in IPA however, which we can include. It would be better to have a Marathi IPA for Mumbai in the lead IMO. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:27, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Inconsistent Speculation

"The seven islands that constitute Mumbai were originally home to communities of Marathi language speaking Koli people, who originated in Gujarat in prehistoric times.[27][28][29]" This sentence make incompatible claim that people coming from North ( of Bombay ) where speaking language developed from East ( of Bombay ). Maharastri Prakrit ( Marathi's early version ) And Gujrati dont share close linkage. Certainly migration of people into Bombay might have happen from Current Gujrat State and or further north or from Middle India etc. But those people would not have identified themselves as Gujarati or Telgu etc. There is no fix theory of Aryan or Dravidian identity of Indians too. Unable to understand reason to mention a particular area, which might be just a stopping point in prehistoric time for human migration. 2500 years back sopara a Part of Mumbai was major Port for world trade. So certainly surrounding areas was populated long time before that for local trade and not just fisherman "Kolis", plus elephanta caves, Kanheri caves etc areas shows religious & trading activities from BC years.

Addition of Topic 'Tourist Places'

Does Wikipedia allow such additions? As it may seem to be vague. If I add a travel website in sources, would it be a problem, considering it is a dor-profit owned source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bunny journey (talk • contribs) 18:20, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

'Tourist Places' I am not sure would be an appropriate section title, and a for-profit travel website would not be an appropriate source, as it could be seen as promotional in nature. 'Tourism' is, however, appropriate, provided the tourism in a given place meets the notability bar (which i am sure it probably does in this case), and all content is verifiable with reliable sources.

Addition of an unnecessary viewpoint regarding the name change of the city

Arrivisto, please explain why the content you added is necessary and relevant here. There's already a satisfactory explanation regarding the reasoning behind the name change. I really don't see why another opinion of a party that had nothing to do with the change is necessary. Prolix 💬 12:31, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Prolix First, I do not appreciate prompt reversals such as you have just done, twice. Instead, let other readers and editors consider the matter first. Secondly, of course my edit is "relevant"; Christopher Hitchens, who died a few years ago, was perhaps the world's greatest anti-theist polemicist, and he on several occasions opined that the change of the "British name" name of Bombay to Mumbai has nothing to do with erasing the Raj heritage, but is all about the abuse of power for sectarian reasons by Bombay's religious right in the fight for dominance and oppression of minorities and other factions. Arrivisto (talk) 00:59, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Arrivisto, my 'prompt' reversals are perfectly okay, if anyone wants to look through your edits they can do so by looking at the edit history. Most users that watch this page certainly keep track of all changes and would even pitch in to these discussions if they deem it necessary.

Regarding the content, Christopher's opinions on this issue seem to be in the minority. The prevalent view regarding this issue is that the name change was a result of a desire to shake colonial links from the city's name. Similar to how 'Calcutta' became 'Kolkata' and 'Madras' became 'Chennai'. This viewpoint has been adequately established in the article and seems to be the accepted reasoning behind the issue. Including Christopher's opinion on this issue which is clearly in the minority would be giving it WP:UNDUE weight. Hence, I do not think it should be included in this article. Prolix 💬 07:28, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

While I see the possibility of merit in including the point made by Arrivisto, I am inclined to agree with Prolix for the following reasons: a) the addition is poorly written in my opinion and does not meaningfully describe the point made by Arrivisto b) the source given is a youtube video (which is merely a snippet of a larger speech by Hitchens of which Mumbai is not the primary subject). If this is worth mentioning in the article, it should be easy to find multiple sources from different personalities stating a critical position of the motives behind the name change; Hitchens' notability in his own right give some him no specific relevance to the subject. Best to the both of you, Cristiano Tomás (talk) 09:12, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

If the addition were indeed "poorly written", then why not try improving it? I am aware of the similar name changes to Calcutta and Madras; all three name changes ditching well-established and respected names altered in a pointless act of self-harm. The French call London Londres; the English have no intention of asking them to change! The statement "Christopher's opinions on this issue seem to be in the minority" has neither sources nor justification. I note from edit history that user Prolix (yes, thanks, I know what "prolix" means) is no stranger to reverting edits, a disagreeable trait. He has self-identified as an "Experienced Editor"; kindly note that I too have been an editor for rather more than a decade. In short, Hitchens' views are relevant and apposite, and reveal the nasty undercurrent of religious sectarianism in Indian politics. Arrivisto (talk) 11:17, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Arrivisto, please don't waste your time bringing 'experience' into this discussion. The number edits either of us have made and how long we've been on this platform are of no relevance to the topic at hand. If you'd taken the time to look through most of the reverts I've made you'd realise that they're mostly reverts of unsourced/bad faith edits. So instead of resorting to ad hominem please explain your stance.

all three name changes ditching well-established and respected names altered in a pointless act of self-harm. Such statements only serve to make you look like you have some sort of agenda to push here. If you're making an argument please ensure you stick to WP:NPOV, declaring city name changes by a sovereign country as mere acts of 'self harm' is quite bold and frankly unwarranted in this discussion.

I made a case for not including Christopher's statement based on it being WP:UNDUE weight in this article since it is a minority viewpoint. Cristiano Tomás summarizes this argument much better than I can and I feel my views have been expressed quite clearly by now. I would appreciate it if you tried to find a solution through discussion instead of adding POV comments here. Prolix 💬 12:17, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Arrivisto Firstly, it is not the responsibility of other editors to do your own work. I don't know if I agree with the sentiment in your statement added and I will not waste my own time trying to either rewrite your words or to find legitimate sources that you did not take the time to find your self. The number of years of experience editing on this site is completely irrelevant. Furthermore, whatever Prolix's actions may have been in past edits, that is not the subject at hand; we are discussing the merits of your addition not the merits of those in the discussion. Especially given your blatant POV in stating that "all three name changes ditching well-established and respected names altered in a pointless act of self-harm", I am even more inclined to repudiate your addition. Quite frankly if you truly believe in the strength of your argument (which I neither agree or disagree with), you should heed my previously-made point to accumulate more reliable sources from diverse origins and rewrite the addition to be more meaningful in its description of the criticism of the name change. If you truly believe there is a "nasty undercurrent of religious sectarianism" in regards to name-changing in Mumbai, go find more sources that say so. This is the most basic thing one can be asked to do on Wikipedia. I am not inclined to agree with the addition simply because Hitchens is Hitchens nor simply because you "too have been an editor for more than a decade", good intentions or not.Cristiano Tomás (talk) 19:46, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

I note your criticisms, but I don't accept them. The allegation of "blatant POV' is absurd; the POV rule applies to an article not a talk page! And to call a single postscript sentence in a lengthy article as "UNDUE" ... words fail me! To accuse me of "pulling rank" or "having an agenda" is rather rich when Prolix adopts such a tiresome schoolmarmy tone throughout. I have not found this exchange of views helpful or enlightening or pleasurable, so I'll leave you to it, and shan't bother with this page again. Thank you and goodnight.

Crore is a word used in Indian English, thus an article which has strong ties to India uses Indian English. It's the same reason that the word is spelt 'color' in articles about American films (see The Adventures of Robin Hood, "the studio cast Flynn in two more color epics") VS articles about British institutes (see BBC, "BBC2 was broadcast in colour from 1 July 1967 and was joined by BBC1 and ITV on 15 November 1969.")

"First Settled" description incorrect and ambiguous

The information snippet on Mumbai has an area labeled "First Settled" and lists that date as 1507, but that date seems inconsistent with the source.The source states that "A Portuguese attempt to conquer Mahim failed in 1507, but in 1534 Sultan Bahādur Shah, the ruler of Gujarat, ceded the island to the Portuguese." but I don't see how that means the area was "first settled" in 1507. Upon further reviewing, the article further down lists 1407 as another key date - "The islands were later governed by the independent Gujarat Sultanate, which was established in 1407" Would the "first settled" be referring to that? If so, "first settled" may not be the best way to word that, since the area has had humans living there permanently centuries before either of those dates. Other cities in India have similar dates listed as "Established" which might alleviate some ambiguity in what these dates actually mean. Anatinus ornithorhynchus (talk) 02:43, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Is Mohan Apte the same as Mohan Ranade, born Manohar Apte?

In the section Culture of the article, there are three authors listed, who modernized Marathi literature in their works. Two of them (Anant Kanekar and Gangadhar Gadgil) are linked to their own article, the third, Mohan Apte, however has no link. A quick search discovered this Wikipedia article about Mohan Ranade, born Manohar Apte. According to the article, he wrote two books and was at least born and lived for some time in Maharashtra, of which Mumbai is the capital. So are these two the same or different persons?

@Chronus Please stop adding outdated images in the infobox and throughout the article at Mumbai. Joy goel (talk) 13:19, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Joy goel: If there's anyone who has to stop something here, that person is you. The images I've added are of better quality and featured on Wikimedia Commons. Also, tell no lies, as the image of the Mumbai skyline I added is actually more current than any other image in the entry. Finally, you are not the owner of the article! Chronus (talk) 13:22, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Chronus Please check properly that Mumbai skyline image you are adding is from 2020 its 3-4 years old, while the lower parel image that was there is from March 2023 and it is 4000/3000 pixels in quality i doubt you will find a better quality image than that of Mumbai. Joy goel (talk) 13:30, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Joy goel The image you're talking about doesn't even show the city skyline (it only shows four buildings from a specific area of the city, whereas the image I added shows the full panorama of Mumbai) and since when is a photo from 2020 "outdated"? Your choice of images is poor and your "arguments" are embarrassing.. I will revert your edits again, as, again, you do not own this article. Chronus (talk) 14:16, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Chronus the image is of Lower Parel its has all the tallest buildings in Mumbai be it world one, world view, trump towers, Marquise, allura, the image you are adding does not show any prominent skyscraper, again the lower parel image is much more recent and of much better quality. I will also revert your edits as you also don't own this page. We have arrived at these infobox images after several talk page discussions. Please discuss here. Joy goel (talk) 14:30, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Joy goel The image I added simply shows ALL of the city's skyscrapers, unlike the lousy image you added which shows half a dozen meaningless buildings. I will report your regrettable behavior to the administrators. Chronus (talk) 14:40, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Chronus Meaningless Buildings? Those are all the tallest buildings in Mumbai, that image your adding shows the city in 2020 at that time most of the buildings were under construction and that image is taken from such a distance that the buildings are barely visible. Joy goel (talk) 14:44, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Joy goel: And since when does height mean anything? Tall buildings are just that: tall buildings. Its mage is in bad taste and of poor quality, the framing is terrible, it doesn't represent the city and shows half a dozen buildings that could be in any city in the world. Furthermore, Wikipedia policy clearly states that there shouldn't be excessive images in the body. Article is already too long. There is no need to keep this absurd and unnecessary amount of images in the infobox. Have you read ours Manual of Style ever in your life? You don't even have the slightest notion of what a decent layout is and you don't even know what you're doing. That will not remain like this! I will report your disgraceful behavior. Chronus (talk) 14:53, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Chronus Have a look at the infobox of different Indian cities you will find a similar amount of images in each cities infobox, then why target Mumbai. Mumbai is the only Indian city with a good skyline so i think we must add appropriate images to show the skyline of Mumbai in a proper way, unfortunately the images you are adding does not show the skyline properly and its too outdated, at a time when the buildings were under construction. Joy goel (talk) 15:01, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Joy goel The fact that you have filled the inboxes of articles from other Indian cities with an unnecessary amount of useless images does not mean that our policies allow this to be done. Furthermore, present concrete arguments, not personal opinions. Your personal taste in images means nothing. You don't even know what you're talking about. Chronus (talk) 15:03, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Joy goel By the way, you gave me an excellent idea: I am going to rearrange the layout of articles for all major Indian cities. From now on I will follow all your edits. Your will will not be imposed on others. You are no more than anyone else here. Chronus (talk) 15:05, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Chronus why did you remove so many images at List of tallest buildings in India? Joy goel (talk) 15:09, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@Joy goel This discussion is about the Mumbai article, no? Open the topic in the proper place. I already said that I will review all your edits from now on. Chronus (talk) 15:17, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
