Just redirect
This article shouldn't be a separate one, as per the merge notice. The existing text was added in one hit, and includes first party pronouns in the descriptions. It would be most unusual for someone writing about many restaurants and hotels in one hit to refer to them as "our hotel", or "our restaurant". I think it is mostly likely that the text was copied, and this article should simply be redirected. --(WT-en) inas 02:46, 17 September 2009 (EDT)

The following lines have been plagiarised word for word from http://laomeow.blogspot.com/2010/06/231209-muang-ngeun.html:

"As the temples in Muang Ngeun are Tai Lue, they have long banners hanging from the rafters, & a set of wooden weapons on either side of the altar (either on the floor or placed high up in the rafters). To see this in other parts of Laos, one would have to travel to places like Ban Viengkeo in Hongsa, Muang Sing, rural Oudomxay province or Ou Tai & Ou Neua in Phongsaly."

donno if it right for here - I have a photo of the bus station schedual and pricing. should I apload the picture here or type it in ( which is probably better but takes more time) is ther any one I can send him the picture and can do it (internet is kinda expensive here in laos )

 * Wow! That's some good info-- wish I had had a schedule last time I was trying to catch a bus in Laos ;-P. The only problem is that we don't usually put whole schedules up here-- they're a lot of info to manage and they can change so often. Better than exact times is a)a general idea of frequency ("daily, mid afternoon and evening...") and b) where to get/check a more exact time table. You can also go ahead and email me (majnoona@gmaill.com might be easier than the email-this-user link for an attachment) and I can take a look. Thanks! (WT-en) Majnoona 12:29, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

Update some but not all pricing info
I was going to edit to update some of the prices which have gone up. But since I'm on a hitchhiking budget I only checked prices at the cheapest places. I assume the higher end places have also raised their prices. But that info was kind of tied to the prose so I just added a paragraph, which is not the best solution... — Hippietrail (talk) 03:09, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Mukdahan/Listings

Amphoe Mueang Mukdahan
Ho Kaeo Mukdahan Chaloem Phra Kiat Kanchanaphisek (หอแก้วมุกดาหารเฉลิมพระเกียรติกาญจนาภิเษก) Located on Chayangkun Road (Mukdahan – Don Tan), the tower was built to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of His Majesty’s Accession to the Throne. The tower has a nonagonal building of 2 storeys at its base. The first floor houses an exhibition of local tools and utensils used in daily life. The second floor is a museum that features the history of Mukdahan, antiques, old photographs, and traditional attire of the 8 ethnic minorities in the province. The sixth floor on top of the tower is the observation deck that allows visitors to enjoy a panoramic view of the city, the Mekong River and Lao PDR. The topmost sphere houses a Buddha image “Phra Nawa Ming Mongkhon Mukdahan” and 7 Buddha statues in 7 different attitudes for each day of the week. The tower is open daily from 8AM-6PM. The admission is 20 baht. Chaopho Chaofa Mung Mueang Shrine (ศาลเจ้าพ่อเจ้าฟ้ามุงเมือง) The shrine, which also houses the city pillar, is located on Song Nang Sathit Road in the Amphoe Mueang Municipality. Without any solid evidence about its history, it is assumed that the shrine might have been built in the same period as the city itself. The original wooden shrine was renovated and replaced by a concrete one. For the people of Mukdahan, the shrine is considered as a sacred place of the spirit that protects the city. Chaomae Song Nang Phi Nong Shrine (ศาลเจ้าแม่สองนางพี่น้อง) Situated on Samran Chai Khong Road, next to the Mukdahan Immigration Bureau, the shrine was originally built of wood and rebuilt later with concrete. Legend says that two Laotian princesses boarded a boat to Mukdahan but an accident in the river cost their lives; hence, a shrine was built by a seven-topped sugar palm tree in the same time that the Mukdahan city was constructed by Chao Kinnari. The people of Mukdahan consider this shrine another sacred place. Both the Chaomae Song Nang Phi Nong and Chaopho Chaofa Mung Mueang Shrines are twin sacred icons of the city. Every year, on the full moon day of the sixth lunar month, around May, a celebration for both shrines will be held. Wat Si Mongkhon Tai (วัดศรีมงคลใต้) The temple is located on Samran Chai Khong Road by the Mekong River. Its main ordination hall or Ubosot houses a concrete Buddha statue, which is considered a sacred item of Mukdahan. The Buddha statue is 2.2 metres wide and 2 metres high. History about this ancient Buddha statue remains doubtful; however, legend says that two statues were found in 1767 when Chao Kinnari was constructing Mukdahan city by the seven-topped sugar palm tree. The large statue was built from concrete while the smaller one, found underneath a Pho or Bodhi tree, was made from steel. A temple was built to house both Buddha images. One day, the smaller Buddha image disappeared and was found buried under the Pho tree where it had been found, with only the top of the statue emerging above the ground. Chao Kinnari had an altar built there and named the smaller Buddha statue “Phra Lup Lek” and the larger Buddha statue “Phrachao Ong Luang”. Both have become sacred Buddha images for Mukdahan since then. Indochina Market (ตลาดสินค้าอินโดจีน) The market lines the Mekong River, close to the Immigration Bureau. The major shopping area is the hub of products, local and imported, as well as OTOP of Mukdahan. Wat Si Bun Rueang - Ban Tai (วัดศรีบุญเรือง - บ้านใต้) The temple is situated on Samran Chai Khong Road, in Mukdahan city. The ordination hall houses a bronze Buddha statue called Phra Phutthasing Song, which is 1 metre wide and 1.2 metres high. When Mukdahan was completed, Chao Kinnari took this Buddha image from Vientiane and placed at Wat Si Mongkhon Tai. Later, a new temple was built at Ban Si Bun Rueang and the image was moved to be placed here until now. During the Songkran Festival of each year, the people of Mukdahan always carry the Buddha image on a float around the town for people to bathe. Phu Pha Thoep National Park (อุทยานแห่งชาติภูผาเทิบ) The country’s 59th national park covers a total area of 58.9 sq km in Amphoe Mueang and Amphoe Don Tan. The park’s geography features undulating sandstone mountains that form the edge of the Phu Phan Range. Situated 4 km from the Mekong River, the range lies in the North - South direction. The park has many mountains at an elevation between 170-420 metres above sea level; namely, Phu Mak Yang, Phu Mano, Phu Prong, Phu Rang, Phu Chom Nang, Phu Mak Mi, Phu Pha Thoep, Phu Nang Hong, Phu Tham Phra, Phu Lak Se, with Phu Chom Si being the highest peak. The deciduous dipterocarp forest and mixed deciduous forest cover most part of the area, which is also the watershed of many streams; namely, Huai Ta Lueak, Huai Sing, Huai Ruea, Huai Male, Huai Chang Chon, etc. The mountain slopes are blanketed with bamboo forest. There are numerous high cliffs and rock terraces. Its attractions include: Hin Thoep Rocks (กลุ่มหินเทิบ) The formations of superimposed rocks called Hin Thoep have been eroded by rain, water, wind and sun for 120 - 95 million years. Today, these rocks appear in different forms such as a jet plane, flying saucer, Chinese pavilion, crown, crocodile and conch. Each layer of the rocks has different durability depending on the different contents of the sandstone. The upper brown layer is more durable with lots of silica and small stones. The lower layer has a paler colour with high content of carbonate, making it less durable. Geologically, the group of Hin Thoep comprises sedimentary rock of the Sao Khua Formation, and Phu Phan Formation of the Korat Group. The formations are classified to be from the Mesozoic Era, comprising mudstone, sandstone, siltstone, and 200-metre-thick layer of conglomerate. Lan Mutchalin (ลานมุจลินท์) Next to the group of Hin Thoep is a vast rock plateau among the embrace of dwarf deciduous dipterocarp forest featuring bushes, with its uniqueness being the community of tiny plants such as Soi Suwanna, Yat Nam Khang, Nao Duean Ha, Dao Ruam Duang and Dusita. These tiny plants that blanket the whole rock terrace, will be in full bloom between October to December of each year. From the mid of the terrace, scenery of the Mekong River can be seen.

Namtok Wang Duean Ha (น้ำตกวังเดือนห้า) The small waterfall originates from many streams that run through Lan Mutchalin. Seepage from this waterfall plays a significant role in nourishing wildlife and plants in the park.

Phu Tham Phra (ภูถ้ำพระ) The cave in this mountain houses wooden Buddha images. Legend says that this area was once a settlement of the Khmer people. Before escaping from natural disaster, the villagers kept lots of Buddha images made from silver, alloy, gold, jade, sacred plants, and wood in the cave. Now only the wooden Buddha images remain. Nearby is a beautiful waterfall called Namtok Phu Tham Phra.

Pha Manao (ผามะนาว) The towering cliff has a waterfall that plunges below to feed the forest and wildlife. From the cliff top, tourists can witness a nice panoramic view of the Hin Thoep Rocks and Mekong River. At the mountain foot, tourists can enjoy a beautiful waterfall, forest, and wildlife. The cliff is named Pha Manao after lots of wild lime tree growing in the area. Tham Fa Mue Daeng (ถ้ำฝ่ามือแดง) The cave houses pre-historical paintings which archaeologists assumed are probably over 5,000 years old. This attraction is situated close to the park’s safeguard unit of Phu Pha Thoep 1 (Huai Sing), some 8 km from the park’s headquarters. Moreover, Phu Pha Thoep has many more attractions such as Pha Ngoi and Pha Pu Chao. It can be visited in all three seasons. The rainy season is from May to September.

The Department of Mineral Resources had its density checked and found that the earth crust of this part is approximately 27 million years old. It is the third place of its kind to have been found in the world, making it an interesting place for litho-tourists.

Overall, the park features a mountainous landscape whose ranges lie in the Northwest-Southeast direction at an average elevation between 350-450 metres above sea level. Phu Krasae is the highest peak at an elevation of 491 metres. The ranges are the origination of many streams such as Huai Thom and Huai Kan Lueang that nourish the plain around the park area. The park comprises many kinds of lush forests and huge rock terraces called ‘Dan’ in local dialect. Most areas are covered with mixed deciduous forest and dry evergreen forest, which are home to precious trees like Makha Mong (Afzelia xylocarpa Craib), monkey flower tree, blackwood, and rosewood.

Drink listings
The newly added Drink listings appeared to be copied from here. Reformat or delete? (WT-en) Jpatokal 06:09, 9 Nov 2004 (EST)

The image titled "Indian Beer" ("Pubs & bars" section) was supposed to display a mug of "Cobra" beer, not an actual snake. The wikitravel page, which seems to be the source for this particular page, has a proper image. --Vorotylo (talk) 07:44, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the problem is the logo on the beer glass means it's not likely to be an acceptable image at Wikimedia Commons, our free image repository. I've replaced the image with File:Cobra (beer).jpg, which depicts the same brand in a bottle that doesn't have the graphical logo.  Look good?  LtPowers (talk) 15:42, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Changes
Removed the line which mentioned about A1 bus service in getting in to Mumbai

The Air-conditioned Bus Services ( A1, A3 etc) operated by the BEST is for getting around in Mumbai and not for gettin into Mumbai.

Districts
Is it really necessary to split Bombay in 30+ districts? We don't need to follow adminstrative boundaries here: to my clueless eye it'd appear that a single article for the Central and Western Suburbs each would be plenty for now. (WT-en) Jpatokal 10:34, 6 Oct 2005 (EDT)
 * 37 districts! I did go overboard. Give me a week and I will organize it better. --(WT-en) Ravikiran 05:08, 8 Oct 2005 (EDT)

Names like Bombay/Northwest Bombay are terribly redundant: why not just Bombay/Northwest? (WT-en) Jpatokal 01:57, 31 Oct 2005 (EST)

"Free (in theory) shuttle"
I've never had to take the shuttle between the international and domestic airports. I'd appreciate if someone elaborates on the free (in theory) part. Do folks have to bribe someone to get on to the shuttle? --(WT-en) Ravikiran 01:36, 2 Nov 2005 (EST)

I used it on 3 Feb 2011 to go from Domestic to International. No bribes, just queue for security, baggage xray (again) and get on the air conditioned modern coach. It is VERY SLOW. Goes round the inside of the airport then leaves it to drop you at the international departures entrance with everyone else. Only needed to tip the guy taking the bags off. - Waring 3. 10:15, 5 Feb 2011 (UTC)

Why was this removed?

 * Bay of Bombay (close to St. Xaviers College) +91 22 2205 6173. It's a favorite with oyster lovers. If you're in the mood for a quiet evening and meal, this is the place to go to.

I do not know about this place, but unless it is very bad we should let it be. The article is not in a state where we need to remove information --(WT-en) Ravikiran 13:18, 7 Dec 2005 (EST)

Name Change
Shouldn't the name be Mumbai

 * → Talk:Bombay/Name (WT-en) Jpatokal 00:46, 22 Dec 2005 (EST)

 * I feel that it is definately time to change the names of the Indian cities to their official titles. So, unless there is any strong dissent, I propose changing Calcutta to Kolkata, Madras to Chennai, and Bombay to Mumbai with, of course, redirects from the old and now pretty much obsolete names. Personally, I think that the names used on Wikivoyage should always be those used by the city itself. Unlike written guides where people may look for a familiar title, and miss a new unfamiliar one, Wikivoyage has the advantage of redirect. So, in this way, the 'traveler first' policy is still protected, while at the same time its saves the almost impossible task of having to continuously assess which name is in most common useage - but that is a matter for a different debate. At the moment, I just want to propose changing the names of the cities mentioned above. Thanks (WT-en) WindHorse 10:07, 16 October 2006 (EDT)

 * I notice that the title of the Madras article has already been changed to Chennai (WT-en) WindHorse 21:09, 16 October 2006 (EDT)

 * I don't mind, but phoreners should weigh in. The traveller comes first. Also, in Talk:Chennai, there is a Google news test that was carried out. If we use that precedent, Mumbai emerges as the clear winner. But someone can repeat the test and post the results here, if he/she has the time. I do not till later in the day. — (WT-en) Ravikiran 05:57, 17 October 2006 (EDT)

 * "What the city uses" is not what we have in our Project:Article naming conventions, so I think this conversation needs to move there. You may also want to read the n-dozen previous conversations regarding this super-hot topic... (WT-en) Maj 10:31, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

Bombay -> Mumbai
It's official. Mumbai is the most common name for that city on the Ulhas River. Google figures show     that Bombay has 28,300,000 sites compared to Mumbai's 47,300,000. (WT-en) WindHorse 10:02, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

 * I've rolled back the change you made. First, this has been one of the most contentious naming issues on Wikivoyage, and it really needs more buy-in before making a change. Second, it's much better to rename an article with a long history than to cut-and-paste. When you cut-and-paste, you lose the article history, and thus all the credits for the people who've worked on it.

 * I'll try to dig up the stats on Mumbai/Bombay. Google search figures are good, but they're skewed towards official names as most statistical documents, etc., will use the official name. --(WT-en) Evan 10:21, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

 * FWIW, I'll throw in my vote with changing the name to Mumbai. And based on a cursory inspection of recent guidebooks to India on Monday, so do all of Footprints, Rough Guide and LP. (WT-en) Jpatokal 10:27, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

 * Those are good data points. Here's an analysis of recent news stories on Google News that contain the string "Bombay" or "Mumbai", broken down by country, and with a total (including non-English news sources, by the way). This kind of search tends to favor traditional names, since words like "Bombay" filter into the language in other uses, like "Bombay Sapphire gin" or "Salaam Bombay". Non-English searches tend to favor official names. In any event, here's the data I got:

 * My rough analysis is that "Bombay" is still in widespread use in North America, where its ratio of use w/r/t Mumbai is about 1:2 or 1:3. (That'd jibe with my personal experience, too.) Elsewhere, the name is much less common, being used about 1:5 or even 1:10 times. Either way, Mumbai is clearly much more commonly used in current media.

 * I think all the data points are pointing towards Mumbai. Other guidebooks use it, and it seems that it's used more in the media, too. It's the official name. Probably the only counter-indicator I see is the Getty Thesaurus, which gives "Mumbai" as the preferred name and "Bombay" as the "English preferred" name. But I think this is just going to be a case where we go against the TGN.

 * Let's give this 24 hours to percolate, then move it if there's no major objection. --(WT-en) Evan 11:02, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

 * OK, let's see what the consensus is tomorrow, and I'll be happy to do the necessary. Thanks, Evan, for reminding about the 'move' option. I had forgotten about that. By the way, what's the feeling about changing Calcutta to Kolkata - a debate has been initiated on that Talk page. Thanks. (WT-en) WindHorse 11:26, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

 * FWIW, I concur on changing it (with rename, and a redirect from the original name, and perhaps "formerly known as" in the intro), though I would point out that as this is the English version of WT, the "english preferred" names should tend to be used, as I would expect in the Spanish or German (etc.) editions the name for some of our cities might change ("Nueva York"?). Additionally there are political implications of some name changes (Burma vs Myanmar, for example).  Is this discussed somewhere on a meta page?  Should we move this discussion there?  And why is "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" now stuck in my head?--(WT-en) justfred 12:26, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

 * Since no major objections have been noted since October 18 and consensus and Evan's figures seem to lean toward renaming the article as Mumbai I've moved the article to the namespace. -- (WT-en) Andrew (Sapphire) 05:07, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

 * One thing that's still needed is to change every "Bombay" to "Mumbai" within the article and district articles. -- (WT-en) Andrew (Sapphire) 05:10, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

 * Keep in mind that some attractions still have the name "Bombay" (ie the "Bombay Stock Exchange" is still the "Bombay Stock Exchange"). (WT-en) Maj 23:31, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

population
Isn't Mumbai the THIRD largest metropolis in the world, not the sixth? My understanding is that it comes after Mexico City (1st) and Tokyo (2nd)... (WT-en) Cacahuate 10:28, 14 November 2006 (EST)

 * That's probably from Wikipedia, and given the endless edit wars caused by the ordering of the list there, I'd prefer to just say something along the lines of "one of the world's biggest cities"... (WT-en) Jpatokal 10:37, 14 November 2006 (EST)

 * Indeed! (WT-en) Cacahuate 10:59, 14 November 2006 (EST)

What exactly is Bombay
I haven't quite figured out why Thane and Navi Mumbai have separate articles.

Officially, the City of Greater Mumbai (BrihanMumbai Nagar) has 5 boroughs
 * Town (Mumbai City Dist)
 * Western Suburbs (Mumbai Suburban Dist)
 * Central Suburbgs (Mumbai Suburban District)
 * Thane (Thane Dist)
 * Navi Mumbai (Raigad Dist)

This article seem to be about the first 3 boroughs

We should have a general article about all the 5 boroughs and and also have a separatedetailed article on each with listings of restaurants, hotels, bars, malls etc..

I mean, the NYC article is general and the articles on Manhattan. Bronx, Brooklyn etc are detailed.

upamanyuwikivoyage, 4 52 pm IST, 29 Nov 2006

 * No, Brihanmumbai does not contain Thane and Navi Mumbai. The latter two have municipal corporations of their own. You will notice that I have already divided Mumbai into seven districts and the task of moving all detail into them is Work in progress (for a long time.. sigh.)

 * Thane and Navi Mumbai come under the Mumbai metropolitan region which sprawls as far as Alibag. May be it is a good idea to have that as a region article, but I don't know what we'd write there. — (WT-en) Ravikiran 22:34, 29 November 2006 (EST)

Guide status downgrade
I have moved the "Pending tasks" to the bottom of the page. In keeping with my drive for tighter article quality control, I have downgraded the article's status from guide to usable primarily because for it to be a guide, all district articles need to be "usable" or better and they are not. In addition, the following things need to be done. — (WT-en) Ravikiran 09:14, 19 February 2007 (EST) Add new requests to the bottom and scratch them once they are done.
 * 1) Fill out the buy section.
 * 2) Expand the Eat section - add generic stuff about restaurant types (Udupi restaurants, Irani restaurants) types of food ("Gujarati Thali"), restaurant etiquettes,  areas that are famous for specific types of eatables.
 * 3) Once above is done, move the restaurant listings to district pages.
 * 4) Drink listings.
 * 5) Sleep listings - do the same. Mention general options here, but move the specific ones to district pages. — a lot more sleep options need to be filled in.
 * 6) More "Do" listings. For a city of Bombay's size, they are pitiful.
 * 7) More pictures!
 * 8) All districts to be "usable" or better.  — barely done.
 * 9) Clean out the messy "Eat" section
 * 10) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Mumbai_area_locator_map.svg - Dual licensed map in svg format. This is another step in our road to stardom for Mumbai city!

Do
I had proposed this site www.kyakare.com, an events listing site for Mumbai to be a part of this section.

Can we discuss the merits/demerits of this url featuring here. —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 203.115.119.138 (talk • contribs)

 * Please read Project:External links... we only add websites to primary sources (a hotel's official website, etc)... we don't want to be a link-farm, so we avoid linking to things like this. – (WT-en) cacahuate  talk 13:08, 8 September 2007 (EDT)

So how come timeoutmumbai.net is included? Isnt that also an Events listing site? —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 59.183.50.235 (talk • contribs)

 * It's the official site for a newspaper, and therefore a primary link, since we often list major newspapers for major cities. kyakare isn't a primary website, it's a collection of events and things to do. Event websites and listings have been a thorn in Wikivoyage's side for quite a while, and has been heavily discussed... the solution that was found was that one of our long-time contributors started Wikevent, so if that interests you maybe you can help him out with that there :) – (WT-en) cacahuate   talk 20:27, 8 September 2007 (EDT)

Shopping Details about Mumbai
Hi,

I have created details on Khadi Clothing in the "What To Shop" section and added details regarding Chor Bazar, Crawford Market in the "Where To Shop" section. I have deleted the details of the Crosswords Mall from the the Where to Shop section since the mall is no longer functional. Also I think we should need do a major re-hashing of the "What to Shop" since the details really don't appear coherent.

Happy editing :)

Branded taxi services
Which ones are legitimate, and is it a good idea to list them? If we decide we do want to continue listing them, we will need to adopt very strict standards for what kinds of business can be listed, lest all manner of car hire portals and the like add their names.

 * If there are more than a handful, it's not worth listing them at all. LtPowers (talk) 22:55, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Right now, there are six, which is probably one more than a handful, if we're going by fingers. If they're all legitimate, I'm OK with listing them, but what about ZipMyTravel, which has listed themselves all over the place in the past? Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:00, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

As I have contributed on huge city articles like Kolkata, I think we should merge Northwest Mumbai into Western Suburbs, since the Western Suburbs have few See listings compared to Northwest Mumbai. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:24, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

 * I have redefined Mumbai/South and Mumbai/South Central to avoid overlaps between the two districts. However, the Churchgate, Fort and Colaba neighbourhoods in South Mumbai have a lot of listings and should be a separate district. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 05:47, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I think I should plunge forward and merge the district. If anyone objects to the merger, I'll be more than happy to discuss on the merger to reach consensus. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 09:02, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * As a note to future contributors, I had since reverted the merger, since the merged article was too problematic. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 17:19, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Split Mumbai/South
I have redefined all the districts of Mumbai along the wards/zones of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and as of this writing, Mumbai/South is too crowded with listings (see: 43, do: 8 13, buy: 25, eat: 47, drink: 12, sleep: 12), especially the See and Eat sections. So, I think the district should be split into the following: Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 17:32, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Mumbai/Fort-Colaba — covering the Fort and Colaba areas (defined with BMC Ward A)
 * Mumbai/South — the remainder of the district (defined with BMC Wards B, C and D)

 * While I'm not familiar with Mumbai at all, it's in general good to start thinking about dividing cities into districts (and splitting and subdividing district articles further) when one or several sections have 30 or more listings. So yes, go ahead and split it, if possible so that both articles retain usable status (Get in information, at least one See, Eat and Sleep). Ypsilon (talk) 18:37, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your input. I'm going to draft the proposed district so that the splitting is not abrupt. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:43, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Once the drafting at User:Sbb1413/Fort, Colaba and Churchgate is complete, it will be moved to mainspace as Mumbai/Fort, Colaba and Churchgate and the static map in the main article will also be updated. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 17:13, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Manori beach article
Someone had created a decent article on Manori, an island off Northwest Mumbai. As we don't do articles on sub-districts, I am gradudally copying the stuff here. Here is the article for reference

Talk:Mumbai/Northwest/Manori

Manori is a tiny island in Maharashtra.

Get in
The nearest station to Manori is Malad from where one can take an autorickshaw (approx. Rs.200) or bus (best) route #272 to Marve Beach. From Marve, one has to take a ferry to Manori Island. This is a Govt regulated ferry. The cost is as low as Rs.2.50 per person, with additional charge for vehicle.

The last ferry from Manori island leaves for Marve at 23:45. If you leaving the place in the evening, be prepared to face the traffic on your way out of Marve.

Get around
This is a beautiful island. The sea here is dangerous for swimming though. Good place to spend the weekend. Though it doesn't offer many sightseeing spots.

See
The northern side of the island has a cleaner beach. A resort on this side would offer good view of the sea.

Do
This is mainly a recreational place & being very close by, hundreds of tourist throng towards Manori on weekends.

Buy
Manori doesn't offer many unique buying options.

Eat
The apt place for any sea-food lover. Like most beach attractions, Manori is known for its sea food-shrimps, crabs & a must have is the prawns!!

Drink
In most resorts at Manori, outside beverages are not allowed. You do get mild beverages though.

Sleep
Make sure you have your booking in advance. Also make sure that your booking is there in your name on the day you are scheduled to be present. Beware of cheats. Smaller resorts like Manori Bell are reportedly known to play with customer bookings - apparently, customer bookings are tampered with to cope the crowd at weekends. The local "rickshawwallahs" quip that it's common practice at resorts like Manori Bell to "request" customers to give up their booked cottages & "adjust" in a smaller stingier room.

 * The Retreat is a decent resort.

 * Manori Bell is another option, but book rooms at your own risk!!!

Get out

Talk:Mumbai/Western Suburbs

Powai doesnt belong to the Western Suburbs. It should be included with the Central Suburbs.

Powai Shifted to Central Suburbs

 * I guess you are right. It is closer to Kanjur marg station than to Andheri. Thanks for moving it. — (WT-en) Ravikiran 05:40, 26 February 2007 (EST)

Change the banner
The current banner of the Western Suburbs is not appropriate, since the banner shows "BANDRA TERMINUS" instead of any striking attraction in the district (e.g. Bandra–Worli Sea Link). So I have proposed to replace the banner with the one used in Konkan. For Konkan, I propose File:South Mumbai banner.jpg. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 07:57, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I think my favourite banner is 1 (the current banner of Konkan), followed by 2 (the proposed banner of Konkan), distantly followed by 0 (the current banner). -- SHB2000  (talk | contribs | meta) 08:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm a little torn. I like the 1st suggested replacement better as an image and composition, but the 2nd is technically better. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:21, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The first banner proposal is for the Western Suburbs, while the second is for Konkan. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 08:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * That's confusing to me. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:11, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * So I've removed the Konkan banner proposal from here, which will be discussed separately. Right now, we should discuss on the Western Suburbs banner instead. --Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 09:23, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Since there's no response for a long time, I'm going to implement the proposals locally. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 04:38, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
