Images[edit]

@Chronus Please stop adding outdated images in the infobox and throughout the article at Mumbai.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

@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)[reply]
@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)[reply]
@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area of the city, whereas the image I added shows the full panorama of Mumbai) and since when is a photo from 2020 "outdated"?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)[reply]
@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)[reply]
@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)[reply]
@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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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

Sister Cities Incorrect[edit]

For some reason this article lists NYC as a sister city of mumbai. It cites a leading Indian news paper article which indeed reports the same. But I think the source is incorrect. For some reason only Indian sources report NYC as a sister city of Mumbai. I went to the wiki page for NY Sister Cities and failed to find Mumbai or Bombay there. I double checked that pages citation: https://www.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/875-22/mayor-adams-signs-sister-city-agreement-between-new-york-city-athens-greece It does not list Mumbai either. I think the original Indian news paper made a mistake, and everyone just sourced that. Since page is semi protected I'm hoping someone can make this edit, and confirm my process of checking this. 24.5.185.64 (talk) 21:21, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
