Suyog, Tinu & Shiju are right about canvassing. This should not be done.
That apart, I oppose the renaming vide -
It seems that only one article, that of 26/11 is named as [[2008 Mumbai
attacks]] per year and the others per date though in some cases there is
only attack/blast/bombing per year. Logically speakiing, a person unfamiliar
to the topic would think that "2011 Mumbai bomb blasts" would be about all
the bomb blasts in Mumbai in 2011 and not about those on a date - so the
proposed title is misleading in a way, as it is in the case of 26/11.
BTW Users Joyson Noel & MikeLynch are Indians :).
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Hi Suyog,
Appreciate the great work on creating the article.
It was also good to bring in attention of all on the discussion on the
change of
article.
But per Wikipedia guidelines, it is highly
inappropriate to canvass for
support in a non-neutral manner.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Canvassing
Wikipedia is a global collaborative project and nobody owns the articles..
There is
neither insiders nor foreigners.
Personally i am of the view of having the article as
"2011 Mumbai
bombings". There was an article created by Moksh Juneja at
the same time by
that name. This article was redirected to 13 July article since the later
was more worked on.
God forbid, Let us hope that there will be no more blasts in Mumbai this
year ( or
ever ) !
Regards
Tinu Cherian

Editors are saying that
if new bombing happens then we will rename it to 13 july
Mumbai bombings!
Why to go to double work?

on it!! Please Vote on
