The wording "also known as Bombay" was accepted according to these two discussions: Talk:Mumbai/Archive 15#Mumbai vs Bombay argument and Talk:Mumbai/Archive 15#Name of the city. While the city has been officially renamed 'Mumbai', it continues to be referred to as Bombay, and Wikipedia documents such usage per WP:NPOV.

This article is written in Indian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, analysed, defence) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

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)[reply]

'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.

The article lacks a cityscape section like articles about other financial capitals (such as Shanghai) of the world does. I believe an appropriate section for cityscape can be included in the article. Addie666 (talk) 12:35, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The card on the right about Mumbai-Magacity there are 6 pictures where it says

"Top to bottom:Downtown Mumbai aerial view, (The Gateway of India (L), Taj Mahal Palace Hotel (R), Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, the Bandra–Worli Sea Link, South Bombay night skyline"

Where as it should actually be

@Ultimateoutsider: This is a GA status article, so you need to discuss your changes and get consensus before adding/replacing images in the longstanding version. And do not edit war. Both Prolix and I find this image that you added here to be of lower quality than the one existing in the status quo version. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:29, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
