Nonsensical writing[edit]

This article is utter nonsense with regard to the reality over there. At best it is only a propaganda literature to blame the British for what is a continuing sore in India. The truth is that females are being kidnapped and sold into this place. With the connivance and support of the Bombay police and civil administration machinery. This fact has to be highlighted instead of saying that this was a British creation. --Ved from Victoria Institutions (talk) 07:44, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2nd largest rld in Asia?![edit]

The cited article doesn't show this. More articles state that it is the biggest in Asia. By the way, it is a shame that this article is categorized "low-importance" in any way. 202.62.81.115 (talk) 17:57, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

≈≈ utter rubbish - article needs completely rewriting - this is one of the largest RLD's in the world and houses many trafficked women from rural India and Nepal along with the offspring of generation dating back to the Raj ≈≈ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.97.180 (talk) 18:07, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Comfort zones"[edit]

I removed two sentences referring to "Comfort zone(s)", set in quotation marks. Reasons: The term is not found in any of the references given. The term, not set in quotation marks has an entirely different meaning. A lay reader is induced to associate the term as used with the conditions und which the so called comfort women in the Korea under Japanese Occupation were forced to provide sexual services. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheaKantorska (talk • contribs) 16:15, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Kamathipura[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Kamathipura's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "dna":

From Girangaon: Mhaske, Pandurang (Nov 2, 2008). "Girangaon festival to preserve heritage". DNA. Retrieved 2009-04-09.
From Horniman Circle Gardens: "Sufis to regale this weekend". DNA Express. November 21, 2007. Retrieved 2009-02-09.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 22:20, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
