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,
