 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Ajeeb Prani (talk) 09:52, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Proposing change to the Overview section

I propose that the content of the Overview section be changed to the following:

The series is set in the city of Mumbai and revolves around the lives of the residents of Gukuldham Co-operative Housing Society, who hail from different cultural and regional backgrounds.

The Gokuldham Society is often referred to as "Mini India" and "Eighth Wonder of the World" by its residents as they represent and celebrate the various cultures and traditions of India and have fostered a familial bond among themselves. They help out each other with their problems, celebrate festivals, and sometimes even the smallest of joys together.

Most story arcs depict either an individual, family, or maybe all of the residents of the Gokuldham Society getting into various kinds of problems and ultimately finding their way out. The character who faces the most troubles in the show is Jethalal Champaklal Gada, whose life seem to jump from one trouble to another with only momentary happiness coming along his way.

TVCAST

Per WP:ONUS, I will start the discussion for anyone disagreeing. TVCAST does not allow for wording such as "a cheerful, food-loving doctor with a big heart and an even bigger appetite." CNMall41 (talk) 18:43, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Just want to mention that there is also a discussion going on how to list cast playing same characters in long running shows like Taarak Mehta, Here Sid95Q (talk) 19:18, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

The current ‘Cast and Characters’ section is vague, outdated, and does not align with Wikipedia’s WP:TVCAST guidelines. According to those guidelines: In a section titled ‘Cast’ or ‘Cast and Characters,’ list the actor’s name alongside their notable role(s), followed by a brief description of the character.

CNMall41, if you had an issue with a specific sentence, you should have improved it rather than reverting the entire edit to an inferior version. Tenshi Uisu (talk) 22:49, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

I did improve it, by restoring it to the best stable version where TVCAST was met. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:15, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

The version I edited already followed WP:TVCAST, so reverting it to an outdated and subpar version does not equate to ‘improving’ it. I’ve restored my edit—if you find an issue, fix that part instead of undoing solid work. Tenshi Uisu (talk) 00:23, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
