More information about this article...

I have been born and brought up in Thane and personally would not like to stay anywhere else in the world. We get the best of both the worlds here. Culturally we are a part of mumbai though administratively we are not some of the restirctions in mumbai do not apply to us eg: 1.30am deadline. I would really like the article. Just one thing to improve the article. Would a list of the important landmarks in Thane be useful especially since we now have a lot of new malls and multiplexes. Please let me know if you need any help in this. Regards, Paunkaj

Yes, please add the relevant information. Rohitbd 16:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Need for Real Estate Stats?

I don't think we need to include real estate stats for Thane dhoom 15:43, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Removed them. Mumbai doesn't have them, and I think a link to a website which contains such information should be added if anyone wants it at all. -- AshishKulkarni 13:09, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thane in Central Maharashtra???

since when is thane in central maharashtra? the map is totally wrong thane city is just west/southwest of the thane creek, extending till the gandhi national park

Yes the map is wrong and should be fixed

The map certainly needs fixing but, unfortunately, the infobox is not easy to work with. Bolivian Unicyclist 21:26, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I added a disputed tag. Fixing the infobox appears to be matter of putting the latitude and longitude. Bombay's longitude and latitude would be close enough for all practical purposes -- Thane borders the north eastern part of Bombay/Mumbai, and 30 km north east of the center of Bombay. However, if we could find the exact latitude and longitude, that would be ideal. Arun 08:13, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Fixed the location by using the information from MapsOfIndia. Also removed the disputed tag. -- Ashish

[edit] Pride Park ??

I am unable to understand the special position (that which causes its name to appear in bold on the article) of Pride Park in Thane (if there is any ?? )

[edit] Lists

Hi guys, I am skeptical of including list of schools and colleges, malls, hospitals, places of worships... for that matter any kind of lists. Wiki is encyclopedia so things should be presented in details if they are worth knowing or is associated with any kind of important events in past or present. Information should not be bulleted.

Wikipedia is not a directory, and hey, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information either.


If you all agree I would like to delete all lists from this page. spacejuncky 15:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

The voilet color location mark in the map of google earth actualy points to Mumlund Railway Station. And it's marked as Thane.


[edit] Thane Station Separate Page

Should we separate Thane City Page from Thane Station? Because at the bottom of the page, there is a Central Line Menu Box that does not necessarily represent "Thane City" but Thane Station. --Irutavias 00:08, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposed (Wagle estate)

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result was: Merge. --B. Wolterding 15:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I propose to merge the content of Wagle estate into here, since the notability of that article has been questioned. Actually the Wagle estate article is quite short and could easily fit here.

Please add your comments below. Proposed as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 20:14, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree that it ought to be merged. There are plenty of examples of notable industrial regions of cities, but I don't think there is enough notability in this case. Cott12 23:29, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

i think it can be included in the thane page only! raj
