Talk:Maharashtra floods of 2005

message: This new page on wikipedia is an attempt to create a new page about a tragedy which struck the metropolis of Mumbai from the afternoon of 26th July 2005 and continued to engulf the city until 27th July 2005. The impact shall remain for years, and the debate about its dimensions and reasons shall continue for years. 
I am not sure, but perhaps by creating this article on wikipedia, I have endeavored to prove that wikipedia can function and deliver pretty fast, compared to several other similar medium, which are in the field (of encyclopedic writing) for a period quite longer than wikipedia. 
I would request all editors interested in the matter, particularly editors from Mumbai who must have felt the direct impact of 2005 Mumbai floods to contribute and edit – I expect that my edits get massively amended. Thanks. --Bhadani 19:20, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  More rain 

message: I feel all wikipedians agree as regards a really encyclopedic and comprehensive article on this topic.  I suggest reorganization of the sections/future subsections on the following lines:
Lead sentences – current texts with few further edits/updates
*Overview
- to contain current materials with few further edits/updates
**Floods in Mumbai
- to contain relevant details, including subsections like “Effects on Mumbai’s links with rest of the world” (though abridging the name of the section/sub-section would look better) 
**Floods around Mumbai
- to contain relevant details
**Other affected areas
- to contain relevant details
*Topography
- current texts as lead sentence/ further expansion
**Reasons
-new edits
*Health concerns
-current texts and further edits/ expansion
*Social issues
- re-written from the earlier section removed by an anonymous editor, or newer texts containing social and emotional issues
*Financial cost
-current texts with expansion as and when information is gathered.
*Recovery
- to wait for few days until things settle down and normalcy starts returning
*Legacy and aftermath
- to wait for few days until things settle down and normalcy starts returning / this section will also be useful for further edits after months/ years of this unfortunate event
*References
- current / updated
*External links
- current / updated
Images as required in different sections, to be inserted as and when available.  The above is just my suggestions and I request other editors to suggest further sections and subsection.
I am not sure of the fact if we can have blogs in the external links. I leave this matter to the discretion of other editors who may be aware of the wiki policies in this regard. --Bhadani 14:51, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Developing the article

message: This article was subject to two blanking attacks, one on Nov 15 2005 and one on June 10 2006, where some vandal removed substantial amounts of text. I reverted to the version just before the June 10 blanking. Many good edits that took place have not yet been incorporated. Also, the stuff that got removed on Nov 15 stays removed. Can someone recover that please? — Ravikiran 08:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The section Uncontrolled whatever in North Mumbai sounds biased against North Mumbai.
Buildings are NOT constructed hapharzadedly there.
Some of the best planned housing societies lie in these areas.
