Talk:Thane

Where is Thane? I have said it is a city in India, near Bombay. Because the place is mentioned in the Bombay/Mumbai article. There is no other reference on Wikivoyage. So it needs to be linked from a relevant regional page or be a district of Bombay. -- (WT-en) Huttite 09:05, 4 Jul 2005 (EDT)


 * I've added some content which makes it clearer.
 * Thane is a county of Maharashtra (I'll link to it from there.) It is administratively different from Bombay.
 * The headquarters of Thane county is Thane city, which is practically a suburb of Bombay
 * But Thane county is also a tourist destination in its own right, especially for trekkers and nature lovers. If you are writing about it, no one will think of it as a part of Bombay.
 * Thane county also contains other small industrial cities (which are also in a sense commuter suburbs of Bombay) which are not very important from a tourist's point of view, but nonetheless are big enough to merit entries of their own
 * So I chose to use the small city template to write about Thane. I've linked to as-yet non-existent pages for cities inside the county, but made an exception for Thane city, because I don't think there is enough material for separate articles for Thane (district) and Thane (city). If someone proves me wrong in the future, we can disambiguate it.


 * In the really distant future, the whole of Thane district will become a part of the huge conurbation that Bombay is becoming. At that time, we will have to recast the whole thing completely anyway.

 * P.S. How do I indent to indicate that this is an answer?

Scratchpad
This is a place where I will be putting links to format and put into the main Thane article. Others can help, both with new links and with the formatting -- (WT-en) Sunray Traveller 04:08, 15 Jul 2005 (EDT)
 * Nature Trails India - Do (trekking etc.) and sleep.


 * Hotels Mumbai Scrape some hotels listing from Thane. It is probably a violation of policy to place a link?


 * Yeoor hills.


 * Thane Talav Pali


 * Masunda Lake


 * Upvan

Kalwa merger
Before I started editing about Kolkata and surroundings, I was a very mad contributor. I didn't know the process of merging articles here unilaterally merged Kalwa to Thane (pronounced THAH-neh). pointed out my mistake and had put forward a merger proposal; I haven't looked at the proposal since then. Now, after having reformed myself as a valuable contributor, I'm surprised that the Kalwa article is still there. Can I know what happened to the proposal? I still think Kalwa should be merged to Thane, with another reason being WV:WIAA. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 04:37, 7 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Go ahead as you wish – I'll also admit that I used to be much more of a hasty contributor back then. As a suggestion, one you merge the article, an orientation section in "Understand" outlining the suburbs might help, but keep in mind that's completely optional.
