RESPECTED SIR, My name is Saurav Surve from Mumbai,India. I wanted to see the profile of SUBODH KUMAR, who is the Municipal Commissioner of our city. I saw his profile on WIKIPEDIA. But in the post of the Municipal Commissioner of our city, you have given the profile of other SUBODH KUMAR who is a Football player playing for EAST BENGAL FOOTBALL CLUB. So I wanted to bring this correction to your notice. The information of the 'REAL' Municipal Commissioner is given below:

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation started the New Year with a new Municipal Commissioner, less than two months before the budget estimates for the next fiscal are to be presented. On Monday, Subodh Kumar, who was additional secretary department of telecommunication in the Central government, took over from Swadheen Kshatriya who has been transferred to the state revenue department as principal secretary after a 13-month stint as Municipal Commissioner.

The transfer has raised eyebrows since Kshatriya’s tenure has been one of the shortest by any commissioner in the BMC in recent years. Kumar is not entirely new to the BMC and was its additional municipal commissioner (projects) between 1998 and 2001. Kumar is known for his expertise in financial matters.

Kshatriya refused to accept that the recent criticism of the BMC’s financial mismanagement by CM Prithviraj Chavan could have been behind his transfer. “We IAS officers get orders from the government and we have to act accordingly. If the Maharashtra government wants me to join its revenue department, I have to do it without asking them for the reason. My tenure in the BMC was short, but it was fruitful in many ways. Since Subodh Kumar is more senior and better experienced than me, I am sure his presence will benefit the BMC,” said Kshatriya.

Kumar said he was vaguely aware of the financial mismanagement and technical problems rampant in the BMC since the double accounting system was introduced along with SAP. “A governing body should never be afraid of change and it is natural for some problems to arise when something as huge as the whole accounting system is modified. I will try to speed up the work towards solving the issues. I am still not fully aware of the financial condition that the BMC is in, but I am sure I will get the required knowledge from my colleagues,” said Kumar a 1977 batch IAS officer of the Maharashtra cadre.

Kumar has also worked as Principal Secretary (Finance) and as Excise Commissioner and Sales Tax Commissioner. He has also worked as Textile Commissioner at the Centre and Chief of Mumbai Housing. Kumar was also part of the auction of 3G and BWA Spectrum in Telecom Ministry which raked in Rs 1,06,000 crore for the government.

I HOPE YOU WILL EDIT THE INFORMATION WHICH IS TRUE TO MY KNOWLEDGE. THANK YOU.

                                                                                                      YOURS FAITHFULLY 
                                                                                                         -SAURAV SURVE

Partly addressed. Though an article is not created, the link is rectified. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 06:30, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

EDIT REQUEST 3.1. Climate

The record high is 40.2 °C (100 °F) on 28 March 1982,[130] and the record low is 7.4 °C (50 °F) on 27 January 1962.[131]

In fact, 7.4 degrees Celsius = 45.32 degrees Fahrenheit

Thanks for noting this. Now corrected.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:45, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

POV edit war, again

Back to POV edit warring, this time claiming that Marathi is English of all things (I guess, since we have a note not to add Marathi, he's adding Marathi but disguising it as English?), and that the city is no longer called Bombay. I know people born and raised there who continue to call it "Bombay" when speaking English, and of course we've been over this many times: it's a close call whether the article itself should be at "Mumbai" or "Bombay". — kwami (talk) 23:00, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

This has been discussed many times before. My opinion is that a city has an official name although all other names do not cease to exist. The official name is now Mumbai, whether it is in Marathi language or English language. There is no such thing as Mumbai in Marathi, Bambai in Hindi and Bombay in English. The introduction should be Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. In the article there should be a mention that the city is still referred by many as Bambai or Bombay and that many societies, companies, and organisations retain the name Bombay, eg Bombay Stock Exchange. All 3 names still refer to this city. Ninadhardikar (talk) 04:42, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
