Name Bombay restored to it's original name Mumbai in 1995

Should add details about name Bombay. Bombay name was given by Britishers as they were unable to pronounce the original name Mumbai,given by native peoples. In the name of Mumba Devi, which is temple of goddes Mumba. That's why it doesn't make sense to say that name changed from Bombay to Mumbai. It should say restored to it's original name to Mumbai in 1995. Source:https://www.britannica.com/place/Mumbai

You outsiders think you know everything,you own everything but your just outsider. Your know one who will teach us what our city names. Before Portuguese came it was Mumbai, Mumbai name comes from Devi's name Mumba Devi, that's where mumbai came from. NitrosenseAK (talk) 04:24, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Please remove image with watermark

I can't figure out the formatting for how to do so, but there is an image with a watermark in the infobox, for the bridge. JohnR1Roberts (talk) 21:41, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Infobox images

@Chronus This is regarding the infobox image on this page, my argument is that the back bay image has been in the infobox for a long time around 2 years if im not wrong nobody has tried to change it mainly because its a good quality image and does justice to a city like Mumbai and it covers the entire region from Tardeo to Ephistone. The image you are adding is outdated its from 2020 at a time when the entire city was under construction and it has been taken from such a distance that the buildings are barely visible and most of them have construction cranes on them becuase its from 2020 its a very bad representation of the skyline. I had told you this in 2023 when you were adding this very same image, and now you are doing this in 2025. Please Sir its a request please let the back bay image be in the infobox.

I completely Template:Respond! An image being in an article for a long time just because an editor behaves, improperly, like the WP:OWNER of the article, is NOT an 'argument' to prevent changes in the infobox collage, just like this absurd comparison with the New York article. Furthermore, as I said in the edit summary, the image I am proposing covers a much larger area than the image of half a dozen buildings in the bay, and is therefore MUCH more representative of the city, as well as showing the Rajabai Clock Tower, one of the main symbols of Mumbai. Chronus (talk) 13:45, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

@Chronus Please try to understand that image you are adding has been taken from a very large distance, hence the buildings are in the distance and not visible properly and as the picture has been taken in 2020 there is a large number of buildings with construction cranes on them which is not visually pleasing, please Sir its a humble request let the back bay image be in the infobox. thanks. Joy goel (talk) 13:55, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

@Joy goel Your arguments are subjective and nothing more than empty personal opinions. I'm waiting for concrete arguments! Chronus (talk) 14:14, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

@Chronus Sir with all due respect, what im saying is not personal opinion but the facts. That image you want in the infobox has been taken from a large distance and the buildings are far away it looks better as a wide image but that is not possible to do in an infobox and its also a fact that almost all buildings have construction cranes on them, again its a request please let the back bay image be the way it was. Joy goel (talk) 14:22, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

So far you haven't come up with any logical argument to stop the photo collage from changing. I, on the other hand, have presented several arguments that you simply prefer to ignore. Your request has been denied. Chronus (talk) 16:06, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

I haven't ignored you arguments, your only logical argument is that it covers a wider area, but the image i want also covers sufficient area, please do not change the back bay image. Your image is not a good representation of the skyline its better as a wide image because it has been taken from a large distance and to be frank it is outdated do not add outdated image in the infobox. i don't know why you don't find my arguments logical it makes perfect sense to me. Again its a request do not change the back bay image. Joy goel (talk) 16:22, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
