Need to Re-organize

Guys I personally feel that the main page should be reorganized so that more information can be included on the main page. I suggest we make some tabs and then add details like the contributors, the areas(i.e articles)included in the scope of this project. Please add your suggestions. Swapnils2106 (talk) 16:38, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Swapnils2106,

On the one hand, I'll like to butt in and say that I think the project page is fine as is. The list of participants should probably be moved out of the way, as it's growing long and unwieldy, and the end of the page - with the barnstars et al - should be cleaned up, but other than that ... I like how it is right now. Very to-the-point and informative.

... but on the other hand, the WikiProject isn't - I think? - really doing much together (other than using this talk page to get opinions on articles), so if you've got plans for WP:M, and think reorganizing the project page is the way to go about it - go right ahead, and all the best! If you're not sure of how it's going to come out, you could create another page (Wikipedia:WikiProject Maharashtra/Alternate layout, perhaps?), set up the alternate layout there, then get opinions from this talk page before copying that onto the main WP:M page.

... oh, and - of course - feel free to disregard all of the above and be bold!

Hi I kind-off agree with your views on this, there are not many people contributing to this page and the project in general. your idea of creating an alternate page seems to be superb. For the time being I have changed the layout a bit. I will certianly move the list of participants to a diffrent tab in a few days. The things which I did not like about the page was the introduction to the project the set goals and the scope. The presentation looked absolutely amatuer, and the wording was childish as well. Please check out the changes I made and let me know if you all think it was really needed. Swapnils2106 (talk) 12:44, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious content: Pimpri Chinchwad article

Dear editors, I believe that the following content violates wikipedia policy on advertising. Moreover, the editor does not provide valid verifiable references for the entry. Please refer to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox_or_means_of_promotion

"Many builders like P3 Developers, Rama Builders, Ellora Builders, Pharande Spaces, Privia Group have been involved in making top end projects in this Industrial Belt of Pune."

I have marked it as dubious and have requested comments. This content has previosuly been removed by other editors, although it gets reentered. I do not know how to proceed with this. Please help. Best, Berlindian (talk) 16:43, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maratha reservation movement

As of now, this deserves an article (passes GNG). The movement has been going on for around five years: plenty of sources. Also, other documented requests redates the events of Maratha Kranti Morcha. I have created a rudimentary draft, and added some sources at Draft talk:Maratha Aarakshan movement#Usable sources. But unfortunately I dont have much experience with creating such articles. Would somebody help me please? But I can work on it with help/collaboration. Also, I can bring in the relevant sources from last 10 years easily.

Once the article is in mainspace/listed by search engines, a lot more people would add to it; and I will handle the issues of POV, adding sources, and other stuff including gnoming. All I need is help in the beginning. Also, I request to continue the discussion on Draft talk:Maratha Aarakshan movement, as I have posted this message to 3-4 different, but mostly inactive, venues. Thanks a lot in advance, —usernamekiran(talk) 19:14, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mumbai Fire Brigade

I've been working on cleaning up, sourcing and expanding the page for the Mumbai Fire Brigade, and would appreciate some feedback/a fresh pair of eyes to see what needs to be done to further improve the page. Thanks! R1988 (talk) 14:02, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Konkan

Hello, I am ExclusiveEditor and I have noticed that there is no WikiProject for the Konkan division of Maharashtra state. Konkan is a vast part of Maharashtra and there are many categories and subcategories regarding it, also there are numerous pages about its vast culture. What I have seen is that the quality of the pages can be much improved if there is a special WikiProject for it, and therefore I have proposed WikiProject Konkan here. Kindly support the proposal and join it when ready if interested. Regards ExclusiveEditor (talk) 10:31, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Need Inputs On Introduction For Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

Hi Community,

I had done some edits to Introduction Section of article on Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shivaji&oldid=1160298444 ) to make it more balanced and focussed on facts, but one of the users has reverted it.

I started discussion on Talk page (Talk:Shivaji#Introduction Section Needs Changes), but we are at an impasse. It would be great if some people from Project Maharashtra can pitch in and share their opinion. Nonentity683 (talk) 12:14, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New category for film posters

I have created a new category for Marathi film posters. Here's the category: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Marathi_Film_Posters Requesting everyone to please add this category to as many Marathi films as you can.

Maybe in the future, we can group these by decades for further ease of use. Kingsacrificer (talk) 21:30, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Morekar You might want to contribute to this. Kingsacrificer (talk) 09:55, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingsacrificer, The category for Marathi film posters already exists as Category:Film posters for Marathi-language films. Morekar (talk) 10:24, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, but that category name is not consistent with Category:Indian film posters — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kingsacrificer (talk • contribs) 10:28, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Check within the Category:Indian film posters category — subcategories for all languages are created in the same format. Morekar (talk) 10:32, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thank you! Will remove the category now. Kingsacrificer (talk) 10:35, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
