Wikipedia:WikiProject Mumbai

This project aims to foster the production, improvement and coordination of articles related to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region — its geography, history, culture, languages, politics, and so on. It intends to expand Wikipedia's resources on the subject in a fair and accurate manner and to act as a locus where controversies can be aired and hopefully resolved.

The goals defined for the WikiProject are:

• To improve all Mumbai-related articles
• To ensure its information is accurate and up to date
• To expand existing Mumbai stubs

The territorial boundaries of this project are limited to,

• North: Virar
• South: Alibag
• North-east: Kasara
• East: Karjat, Khopoli

The present volunteers coordinator for this WikiProject are User:Karthikndr and User:Nicke.me. Please post queries first on the WikiProject talk page. Do contact coordinators on their usertalk page if you have any unanswered queries or clarifications.
