Answer why[edit]

Because people are simply very very keen to ruin others' work. Please see WP:INB. Amarrg tried so hard to invalidate the reviews by saying that they aren't a general reception of her performance. He was looking for many criticisms (for roles which were described in the article as praised), and he found. But he didn't took into account the fact that for every negative review I can back up 5. That's what I did. See Talk:Preity Zinta#Reviews. I tried to give an analysis. If you can, have a look at the thread and give your comments. Unfairness and injustice is ugly to me. I'm losing all hopes to make this article good. See also the peer review of Zinta and what Amarrg was saying there. That Taran Adarsh is not a good critic because he gave low ratings for good films (citing different blogs). LOL. And now he tries to fins criticisms for Zinta to invalidate them and to remove everything. The article has now many negative reviews I just don't get how can people be so unkind. Just honestly and openly want to ruin others' work. It's unfair! Shahid • Talk2me 21:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OMG he really freaks me out.... But now I'm thinking of what will happen with the Zinta article. I won't remove reviews because of some users' POV. God, it's so sad!:( Shahid • Talk2me 22:56, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Great! Enjoy :) Shahid • Talk2me 23:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, amazing work pal! And congrats for the 90,000!!! It's just huge!!! Yeh, I'm now creating an article for one of his films, it's time to remove the red links from his filmo. Regards:) Shahid • Talk2me 22:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
LOL!! How are you? Are you excited towards christmas? Shahid • Talk2me 13:27, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes!!! Italian women are amazing! They have an amazing and very unique charm, and I find their loud speaking manner very attractive. I think Sophia Loren is an amazing actress isn't she? I think Italian culture is very interesting, they have a very widespread cinema and their music is excellent. Toto Cutugno is an excellent singer and was doing very well even in Indian radio charts. But I don't see why you have to move to Italy. You live in the UK. It's great! Shahid • Talk2me 14:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Plans[edit]

Yeh I see, it was really weird. It's apparent that she is here to make firends.

As you know, I've expanded Salman Khan's page, and there is much work to do, and I will. I've expanded Kajol's page, but it's still short, considering the fact that she is the most successful actress of the 90s (along with Madhuri Dixit, whose page is also disaster. Almost all her films are either super hits ot blockbusters; the audience adores her)..

Cleaned-up Ajay Devgan's and Saif Ali Khan's articles yesterday. I've been working today on Rekha's article, adding refs and some info. And added some info to Preity.

My plans are: Still going on Salman, Kajol, Rekha, Manisha. Starting on Madhuri, the great Urmila (she is just an icon) and Akshay Kumar etc. Oh, and of course creating articles for all of their films in the days coming. Also want to create the article for Godfrey Fillips National Bravery Awards (remember? Preity won one for her guts to testify against the mafia). Every year people get awards there for their courage. Someone fought a lion to rescue a child!!!! Some old woman also did something. That's amazing...

Good plans no? Shahid • Talk2me 21:39, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Yeh exactly. Why did you move my message?
The bravery awards are just amazing. It's an annual ceremoby, every year given to someone. Preity won for testifying against the mafia. See what she says about others and what other people won for: "Meeting a 17-year-old girl, who has saved 10 men from drowning, or a woman, who wrestled with a leopard to save a little boy, makes you feel humble; I don’t want the spotlight. I want their bravery to have a voice."
Leopard!!!! It's unvelievable! As you say, R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Preity is the only Bollywood actor to win the award. Shahid • Talk2me 21:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Southeast Asian cinema task force[edit]

Yes well, I was disappointed the new task force wasn't mentioned in the November newsletter, and have just left a note with Nehrams about that. I honestly didn't think I needed to suggest that it be included. Perhaps my expectations of the coordinator/editors are too high. As far as spamming other users, begging them to join the project, I have mixed feelings about that. I figure, if they really care about the cinema of a certain country or region, then they will join. Or maybe they won't. Maybe they'll continue to make solid contributions about the region's films without being a member of the project, then they are still helping the project. Anyway, I see the project as more of an administrative tool, just to get a better handle on the level of quality articles on the region's films. Hopefully, long after I've done my final edit on Wikipedia, the project will still be around, keeping track of things. — WiseKwai 08:14, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thunderball etc.[edit]

I've cleaned up most of it. But more use of the DVD is needed. Do you have it? Vikrant Phadkay 13:21, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Saw the THUN promo pic. 5 in 1 is just excellent. Vikrant Phadkay 13:55, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
but rather than this film's making DVD, I would prioritise GoldenEye, as nothing but production is left to expand in it. Vikrant Phadkay 13:55, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Not much of a difference, see I placed it. Vikrant Phadkay 14:03, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. this one, The Man With..., and The World Is.. are partly close to GA. Vikrant Phadkay 14:08, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:SantaClaus'reindeer.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:SantaClaus'reindeer.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy.

Images[edit]

I figured it out the other day, by looking at the fair use of a Juan Peron picture. I've uploaded images for Argentine international footballers up to G so far, keeping a list of ones that I couldn't find. I've recently taken to emailing club websites, who have usually been quite helpful in providing stats, I'll see if they have any pictures they wouldn't mind donating once I've gone through all the footballers, I'm still working to fill up {{seasons in Argentine football}}, pretty hard work for a 2 finger typer like me and the transfer window is going to open soon, unleashing a month of chaos, I set up WP:ArF to try and organise the process a bit, but most people seem to have lost interest over the months. I just noticed your question about the patronising purple box, I took it off because visitors to your page would have to be dead not to see that it's not 100% serious. Regards, King of the NorthEast 20:02, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah..[edit]

No probs. I'll add it now? I feel so much better creating new articles. Expanding the encyclopedia, giving credit to those directors and actors who worked on this film. I'm really impressed with your quick way to add the rationale. It ia very well written and explained. How do you get it so fast? Where do you get this format from? Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 22:08, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tell me please, can this image be used on Rekha's page? Shahid • Talk2me 22:51, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I love guitars! I love their look, form, shape, sound etc. I like bass guitars, especially in ballads, but I mostly enjoy listening to the spanish guitar. Wow, that's just hair raising. I had once a good collection of spanish guitar numbers, only instrumental. It was just amazing!!! Every number tells an entire story through the guitar score. Just great... Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 10:32, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I love it too. Have you heard "Still Got the Blues" of Gary Moore? WOW! This guitar there tears you apart! Just amazing! I'm now working on Kajol's page. Trying to expand it. Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 10:52, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When I am creating articles, I'm adding all the necessary aspects, so there is no need for further expansion. I'll now create Bombai Ka Babu. Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 13:19, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What? You are doing great work!!! It doesn't really matter. Babu or Baboo... All the same. Shahid • Talk2me 13:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mining in South Africa[edit]

Thanks - It was a good pick for the list, and I too was surprised it hadn't been written yet. I wanted to work on a redlink rather than an existing article, and it seemed like a good fit. I'm still planning on expanding it some more, particularly tomorrow if the strike happens - I might even see if I can get it mentioned on the "In the news" section of the main page.

Deforestation in Brazil[edit]

Well, why didn't you self-nominate Deforestation in Brazil for DYK? It looks like a good article, that I would have liked to see on DYK. The bot didn't pick up the article because it was first created as a redirect. In the future, please nominate your new articles (provided they meet the requirements). You've done great work, and it would be excellent to see it featured on the Main Page. :) Nishkid64 (talk) 20:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think we can get it. Do you have an idea for a hook? Nishkid64 (talk) 20:33, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't think it would hurt to have the article still featured on DYK. The hook you proposed seems pretty well-known, so do you have any other suggestions? Anything unusual or intriguing? Nishkid64 (talk) 20:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As always your user and talk page leave me flabbbergasted - I am in the middle of an almost 6 month hiatus - I will notify the approrpriate authorities - however it appears that anhtropology as a profession has gone silent in australian affairs - it is an issue of concern that I find totaly mystifying - I have no idea what they are up to collectively - or individually - either brought out, sold out or dying as a breed - not sure which - cheers- have a very safe christmas SatuSuro 22:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Being a circumspect oz Who has just been culture shocked by returning to australia from three days in singapore - but thats a very long story - I am indeed impressed and heartened by your sheer bravado visually and your lack of what might be considered the conservative nature of the average wikipedian - it is a positive response if you havent got my drift - long may your style and its attendant visual impact continue on our stage of unreality (ie wikipedia) - says me with the equivalent of one sunflower to boot :) SatuSuro 22:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Coaches Comment[edit]

Thanks for reviewing the stub articles of Southwestern College Moundbuilders football coaches. I am working with the College Football Project in Wikipedia with the small college efforts to build articles around coaches and programs for small colleges.

The idea is to get them started with simple stubs, and as college football fans across Wikipedia from different schools build their coaches pages, we can coordinate more easily. Some small college coaches do go on to become major college coaches (for example Dennis Franchione). Plus, we want to be sure to have historical records from the "golden age" of college football.

You're right, though. We should have more than just the records (and plan to) as collaboration builds.--Paul McDonald 18:18, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Baywatch.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Baywatch.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Absolutely right. The encyclopedia is very good but still doesn't meet the quality all the articles deserve.

George Bogle, hello, and all the news that's fit to print from Cooktown[edit]

Hi Ernst! Sorry I haven't replied earlier. Things have been hectic around here and very, very hot. We are a bit inland and in the forest so our temps are usually a couple of degrees cooler than Cooktown itself which has had 4 days straight of 40 degress and over (a definite record since they started keeping count here back in the 1870s) - but we have also had three days over 37 - our previous record (and one day it went up to 39.4 in the house) and at times it has been muggy as well (which means - seeing as we don't have airconditioning - that I drip all over my computer and so have to turn it off by mid-morning at the latest).

I was going to write a few letters last night but then the termites started swarming - so I had to turn off all the inside lights and just leave one on outdoors to attract them there. Oh, the trials of living in the bush!!! But all is well here otherwise. We have been trying to get a young pet wallaby accustomed to the bush (it was hand-reared by a friend of ours who rescued her after her mother was killed by a car), and it seems to be going well - she is just coming in each morning now for some milk and sweet potato and lots of TLC. She is so beautiful and cute - but she will be much better off running with the wild wallabies on our property than with us.

No word back from the publishers about my book recently - I am beginning to get annoyed they are taking so long to make decisions (will it be 2 vols or 3? What size pages? etc., etc., etc.) It seems to be taking forever. I have had a read of your excellent and timely Deforestation in Brazil aricle. Great work!!! Are you working on any other articles with a environmental slant? I have just added in the words "carbon dioxide" for those (maybe schoolkids???) who may not know what CO2 is. It was the only thing I could think of to improve it - it is truly a fine article! Great work, mate!

We are all excited here with our new government which is just off to the international conference on climate change and emmissions in Bali with our new PM, Rudd, the new Treasurer, new Minister for Climate Change and Water, Penny Wong (a brilliant Malaysian-born lesbian Chinese woman - our first Minister who is openly gay and, moreover, is a female and Asian as well which gives me some faint hope now for the future of this country!, plus our new minister for the environment, Peter Garrett (an ex-rock star - the lead of Midnight Oil). They have already signed up to the Kyoto protocol (meaning the U.S. now stands totally alone in not signing it) as their first act of government! Our last PM - Howard - the self-proclaimed "Deputy Sheriff" to Bush and climate change denier even lost his own seat, which he had held for 33 consecutive years - and to a woman he detests! I must say I have taken some comfort from this ;^)

Don't Cry for Me - I was born that way![edit]

Pues, usted no es de Argentina! Verdad? I really thought you were! How amazing! Oh well, Wales is another place I have never visited and always have wanted to - so, if Merck & Co ever pay me for the damage they did to me with Vioxx I may turn up on your doorstep sometime asking for help in reading the unreadable road signs.

What the heck? Hope you are feeling better. I am trying to kick a cold myself, especially a nagging cough. — WiseKwai 19:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hate to admit that I've never watched any of the Aces Go Places films. I love that old HK stuff. Just watched Exiled, and it's a blast back to that era. Dang I could have sworn I did a South Africa icon back in that last run. Been pretty busy lately with the SEA film and film fest task forces, and real-life stuff. Give me another shout about those icons sometime - just not right now. — WiseKwai 19:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

G'day. I've responded to your request to see Australian Aboriginal Mythology article tidied up here. I hope this will be helpful/useful ..

I did!! But there are no results yet... Shahid • Talk2me 17:53, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey thanks! Yeh, I'm planning to create some article with a DYK question, I'll do it later.
As for films, you can do nothing with that. Most of the users create articles for only films they like which they think are great. Only brilliant editors like you worry for removing red links, and create articles of films which they haven't even seen. But don't worry, with the awareness of Wikipedia on the net, the work doesn't stop.
User:Fowler&fowler removed the Godfrey National Bravery Awards from {{Indian honours and decorations}}, claiming it's not national, but private. But the fact is that some of the most prominent figures of India's government take part in it. See the message I wrote to him. Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 18:52, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well he says that it's not official; he says it's a private award and not an official ceremony by the govt. of India. See my discussion with him on his talk page. I had nothing to do but agree to his removals unfortunately. He says this template is only for official national awards. Thanks and best regards, Shahid • Talk2me 11:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I told him. I hope he doesn't object. Tell me please, remember you turned to BoxofficeIndia and asked them something? Was there any reply? Regards Shahid • Talk2me 11:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

well they are not forced to do that. Perhaps they're too busy with checking BO figures. But actually, all the info you see there is absolutely precise.

It's a pitty that the freat Rohini Hattangadi wasn't nominated for her sterling performance. She's a great actress. I will later clean-up her article. What do you think, will Tabbu win an Oscar for her performance in The Namesake (film)? She will be nominated, that's for sure, but what do you think will she win? She deserved it. She won two National Film Awards, which is the most difficult and prestigious award to win in India!!! (though Filmfare Awards is the most prestigious award in Bollywood, the National Film Award are the most difficult awards the win, given by the govt. of India, judged by a pannel of distinguished jury members, and it awards not only Bollywood films but every possible Indian movie in every possible language. It's a very very difficult award to win, believe me, even more than Oscar.) Shahid • Talk2me 15:26, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • If I knew how to make serious money on the internet, do you think I would spend quite so much time on Wikipedia? I'm as poor as a student, I bet the average income of editors with 15,000+ edits (who aren't cheating by using bots) is absolutely pitiful. I would say that no-one could question your productivity though, 11,000 new articles and counting isn't it? I'm sure there's something out there for locos like us, but I don't know how to set about looking for it. Let me know if you find anything and I'll do likewise.

{{Placeunderconstruction}}[edit]

I stumbled across an article you created with the {{Placeunderconstruction}} tag on the 15th of September, 2007, a one-line article about a place in Tibet. Looking at your contribution history, it seems that you created a very, very large number of articles in that time frame, all with those tags. Can you remove those tags from the articles, or recruit a bot to do so in one of your wikiprojects? I was going to do it myself, but the sheer volume of them is overwhelming. It doesn't look like you are making any further contributions to those articles at the present time. Cruzin07 (talk) 05:35, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lymphoid Leucosis[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Lymphoid Leucosis, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

New film project[edit]

Hi, Blofeld. Thought you'd like to know I've just started a Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Film. Hopefully it'll help improve the category & articles. I've also added all the Category:South Korean films to the List of South Korean films. As I suspected, the articles lean far to the current films, ignoring many important older films. I'm red-linking some at the list and will start the articles when time permits. Cheers! Dekkappai (talk) 20:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I missed your note earlier, Blofeld-- Ah... Shagging is what you had in mind! Sorry for being so dense. If you're scheming to get some sort of POV-violation out me, tough luck! Looks a bit on the bony side though... ;) Ahem. About renaming the Korea film project: However you think most appropriate or standard with relation to the other projects is fine with me. I wonder if a North-east Asian film project might be too broad, as editors have their own countries of interest... Though, I suppose we could specialize within the umbrella project... So I don't know... I'll try to fill in those earlier red-linked films, and eventually we should have a pretty good spread, throughout the years, on Korean film. At present it's all late-1990s and 2000s though. Dekkappai (talk) 23:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A task force encompassing all of East Asian cinema would be huge. Japan and Korea have big enough industries to be task forces unto themselves. Whether there are enough editors to support them is the question. Myself, I'm task forced out, with film festivals and SE Asia. I've noticed that all Chinese-language films - be they from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan or elsewhere - are being added to the Chinese film task force. This is something that might make editors of articles on Taiwanese and Hong Kong films a bit queasy. — WiseKwai 09:51, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I think we're all pretty much in agreement that the proposed East Asia task force would be too broad. I don't think having the separate national cinema task forces prevents us in any way from seeing that there's a general conformity as far as format & style though... And this applies to articles on all of cinema, not just East Asia. About Kim Jong-il, though, Blofeld-- actually, he's known as an extreme film-fan. He dabbled in film-making and film-theory earlier in his life, and he even went to the rather extreme measure of having prominent South Korean film-makers kidnapped to produce quality films for the North! It's too bad there's so little information available on the cinema of the North, it would be very interesting to find out what's going on there... Dekkappai (talk) 17:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Great work on the Korean cinema project, Blofeld! I'll work on the details later when I get the chance. You want me to add more red-link films to the earlier years, is that right? Rather than IMDB, I think Koreafilm.org might be a better place to start for that, since they pick out the more important films for each year. Once we get a good foundation of the important films, we can add the rest. My thought anyway. Dekkappai (talk) 17:42, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
About adding the transliteration of the Korean titles, as in South Korean films of 1975-- I really don't think either the transliteration or the original Korean are necessary in these lists, since they will be provided in the film articles when they are started. The possibility of confusing which film (because of different translations) will be solved by adding the director and one or two cast members in the listing. Dekkappai (talk) 18:45, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Altan Khan and Buryats[edit]

Great image of Altan Khan! Thanks so much - it really makes the article! I have just added a couple of short notes to the article on the Buryats which may clear up a bit about their origins and rapid expansion. Sorry, no time to do anymore at the moment (will try to get back to it again sometime - but I have a long list of other edits to do) - and now I must be off to town for Xmas shopping and mailing! And it is HOT today again! (Oh, by the way, it does seem strange at first having Christmas when it is hot - but you do adjust and slow down and usually just spend the day eating too many prawns and cold meats and drinking too much with your friend or family. It's a quite different experience - but lazy and relaxing. I send you my very best wishes, my friend. Have a great time - and I look forward to keeping in touch through the New Year.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:MauricioBorensztein.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:MauricioBorensztein.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 20:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's cool, but the image still needs more source information than "www.cinenacional.com" in order for its status as PD-Argentina to be verifiable. How do we know it was published before 1986? —Angr If you've written a quality article... 20:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I just stumbled across it anyway. And I'm here to ask you (in a nice way, of course) to tag it with {{db-author}}, because I suspect you have no use for it anymore. I would tag it for deletion myself, but I thought this was more polite. Oh, and I like your cat. -- Pepve (talk) 22:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Heinrich von Vietinghoff.jpg[edit]

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Heinrich von Vietinghoff.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:00, 15 December 2007 (UTC).

Preity Zinta[edit]

Unfortunately, I'm not a GA reviewer, so I can't really address the status of the article directly. As soon as I finish tagging for the new Brunei, Laos, and Thailand groups, or Monday, whichever comes first, I'm going to review the article and go over the phrasing to try to remove any unusual sentence structures, and then when I'm done nominate it for GA. I think probably the only drawback right now might still be some unusual phrasing, but that was a big drawback earlier, and I want to ensure that it doesn't come up to bite us again.; I'm going to address that matter when I finish the new groups, or Monday, whichever comes first.

Heya[edit]

Hey Blof! Im soooooooo sorry I didn't reply to your message, I wanted to do some quick editing and then I had to jet off somewhere. Of course I loved the baby sheep! I loved the fact that the image was captured just as the sheep is about to leap or skip or whatever a sheep does. This is so wierd but my star sign is an Aries and the image is of the sheep of which the male equivalent is the ram which co-incides with my star sign! HA! I dunno why that is of any significance but it seemed essential that I get that out of my system! So tell me what you have been up to? Any new developments? Hope Mr. Bigglesworth is doing well. Kind regards. -- Pa7 13:28, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I actually had a look at the work on the film pages. I great effort by you I must say! I'll try and fill in the gaps ASAP, I know I keep saying that, but I'll promise I'll get it done even if it takes me till next year (which I think it will). Im on holiday right now but I've still got loads of work from university. I'll get it done, hopefully! Great to hear from you too -- Pa7 13:45, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it should get done. There's so many films to put in for Indian cinema, that it gets quite tiresome. It will get done, Im determined to get it done! -- Pa7 13:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, 1974 is nearly done. Im gonna get started ASAP. Also I might work backwards from there. Im not really worried about the 2000 films cause everybody nearly contributes for those films. I might go back to the 50s or 60s, cause I think fewer films were produced then so it would be easier to get it done. -- Pa7 13:52, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah definently, I think by laying the basic structure then people can get filling. I honestly dunno much about the golden oldies so there might someone who does that can fill some bits in, luckily IMDB helps! -- Pa7 13:54, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grooovyyy! The years you pointed out are much deprived, but I also agree that the oldies are ignored. I dunno any films produced in the 30s and 40s. Maybe if I start filling in the oldies (30s and 40s), then you can seperate them for their individual pages. That should get people to start filling in the rest (hopefully!). It won't take long to fill in the 30s and 40 because not many films were produced then. What do you think? Or should I carry on from the 70s? -- Pa7 14:01, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SILLY ME!! There are not that many films in the 1930s, what's the point in seperating! Nevertheless, added two films produced in 1930. -- Pa7 14:07, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmmmm, looks like some background research has to be done then. For now, Im gonna use IMDB to fill in the majority of the titles, after that I can do some research into the oldies. -- Pa7 14:43, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bollywood[edit]

I'm afraid I'm not the right person to write about Bollywood's history. To make that, you need have some books, not only sites, and you must have some additional knowledge of the matter. Unfortunately, all my books are in India. I have no books here. Plus, the Bollywood article is in serious lack of sources. It has to be improved first.

As for the template,, mmm I really don't know. You want to add awards? It's fine by me but there are too many award ceremonies in India so I guess it will just load the template. It needs something better. By now, I generally like the template. Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 15:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed very nice book.. I'll talk to you later. Shahid • Talk2me 16:12, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Blof, I need a little advice regarding the Zinta article. Going through several FAs, I bumped into Bette Davis's article which has a line which says that several of her lines became well known. It reminded me of Zinta in Dil Se, when she asked Shahrukg Khan if he was virgin. I thought to add it, because the article says that she was noticed for the forthright character she played and this line was very famous... So I rewrote it like this:
"Featuring Zinta as a middle class Delhi girl, Preeti Nair, the film was considered to be an unusual launch for a newcomer, as her role called for twenty minutes of screen time.[15] However, she was eventually noticed for her role, particularly for the forthright character she played;[11] her scene with Khan, which had her asking him, "Are you a virgin?", became well known and her portrayal earned her a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award nomination."

She is immensely beautiful! And has something very special about her attitude. You know, for m, beauty is not the most important aspect in a woman's beauty. I'm more a fan of Zinta because of her amazing charm, her forthright manner and her simplicity. She is sexy but yet very sweet and spunky, adding her acting abilities and her great performances, all that makes me a fan of hers, like manyyyy other people.

As for Shania, her voice, her music, her attitude is a great thing in addition to her beautiful face. Also, there is something very honest about her, and that's great. It all contributes to her status and image. I don't like cold women, who are not nice and indifferent. But she's the opposite and she's amazing, her singing style as well. BUT, her article is the opposite LOL:). You should do something about that. Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 20:01, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of Serbian films[edit]

no problem, Serbian films are part of Yugoslav cinema from 1919-2003 Vladar86 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 19:52, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

imdb index of the Yugoslavian films is not very good because some films are tagged as Yugoslavia, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro or Serbia (and search engine can not search movies as Serbia and Montenegro). Also there should be noted in wiki list that Yugoslavia (1919-1991) and Yugoslavia (1991-2003) are basically different country —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vladar86 (talk • contribs) 20:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of Korean films[edit]

Hi, Blofeld. I'm working on the lists. I finished the '60s yesterday, and am downloading info so that I can work tonight and should have a lot to post tomorrow. I really appreciate your setting up these articles! I've been taking out alternate titles, extra entry room, etc., since when I'm editing I don't usually use these-- No offence implied or taken, I hope! Dekkappai (talk) 22:34, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Am Sklavenmarkt[edit]

Hy! Why do you think that exactly "Am Sklavenmarkt" could/should/would be the first austrian movie? "Am Sklavenmarkt" was first mentioned in a catalogue of 1907. In this catalogue about 20 other films were mentioned too. As far as I know, it is not possible to say which of this films was produced first. I think it would be better to write an article about Johann Schwarzers Saturn Film company, which was the brand he used for the production and distribution of his movies. Also see de:Saturn Film - there I published the full list of films produced by Saturn Film, including the date when the films came out first - as known sources say. All that information were published in the book of the Filmarchiv Austria, which I used as source: Michael Achenbach, Paolo Caneppele, Ernst Kieninger: Projektionen der Sehnsucht: Saturn, die erotischen Anfänge der österreichischen Kinematografie.

Cinema of Palestine[edit]

Hey, Thanks for your note and for a great template; {{CinemaofPalestine}}! Sorry if I used the Palestinianfilmlist template wrongly (I was just so happy to see a new Pal. template; not too many of them). And I have now included "Cinema" in the {{Palestinians}} template; hopefully that will also generate some more interest in the subject. Regards, Huldra (talk) 13:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Barbecue Bob[edit]

Wow, how did you come up with such a detailed rationale for the use of that photo? Badagnani (talk) 23:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good. As far as I know, there is only one known photographic image of Barbecue Bob. In my opinion, the use of such an archival photo can only help promote knowledge of this musician (and probably also increase sales of his recordings). Badagnani (talk) 23:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Samba County[edit]

Hi, I noticed that you created Samba County and redirect Saga County to Sa'gya County. But there is no Samba County, and Saga is a different county from Sa'gya. I think that the Samba County should be moved to Saga County and have placed the moving request at Wikipedia:Requested moves. You can participate in the discussion at Talk:Samba County. Thanks. --Neo-Jay (talk) 07:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you may like to maintain the edit history of Samba County. Therefore I requested to move it to Saga County at Wikipedia:Requested moves. It's fine for me that you asked for speedy deletion of it. Thank you for your great contributions on Tibet-related articles. --Neo-Jay (talk) 11:59, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good job! Best wishes.--Neo-Jay (talk) 17:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you mean Baqên Town. Well, according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese), the town's name should be XX Town, not XX (town). I just follow the rules. --Neo-Jay (talk) 17:28, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is already Chinese name for Dêlêg in the infobox. I am wondering why the settlement type cannot be showed in the infobox.--Neo-Jay (talk) 18:20, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am a Chinese and can help add the Chinese names to the infobox. The template in Zhengzhou can show the settlement type but those in Baqên Town and Dêlêg cannot. I am totally confused.--Neo-Jay (talk) 18:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Love of Siam[edit]

LGBT or not, they are all just films, and so are the same in my eyes. Anyway, in contemporary Thai cinema, LGBT films are hard to avoid. Seems like every other film released this year had a homosexual theme. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I've had lots of Thai film DYK's. There are a bunch listed at the SEA film task force. I need to add Love of Siam to the list. I saw that Laotian task force get started. Hard to believe there is not a general WikiProject for Thailand, though there have been a couple geographical-based projects, which under the new guidelines would actually be taskforces. I'd love to see a WP Thailand started up, and there is probably enough interest without having to cajole people into signing up, but I haven't the time or energy right now to get involved in the groundwork and organization. Someday, maybe, I might. — WiseKwai 12:06, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I hope it can be a full-fledged project, and not just a taskforce of WP Southeast Asia. But anything will do at this point. I think I might have had an image of Pen-ek Ratanaruang on the front page for a DYK. LGBT films have been a growing trend in Thai cinema. Ever since the wild popularity of the Iron Ladies, film companies have been happy to cash in. Not all have been flattering portrayals. Most are stereotyped and coarse, and it's that kind of humor that seems to do very well at the domestic box office. — WiseKwai 13:41, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thailand[edit]

There is a page for the Thailand work group at Wikipedia:WikiProject Southeast Asia/Thailand work group. Actually, there are now separate work group pages for every independent country on the planet and several territories, although I admit I haven't gotten around to adjusting all the banners for the multiple assessments yet and I'm still waiting for another editor to complete the frankly frightening task of completing the Africa project banner. I'll try to adjust the banners to display all the relevant work groups, or, probably, have someone else do that, as it's still a bit beyond me, but I think that might be the best way to go at least initially. Once the work groups get "big" enough for a separate project, then it would probably make more sense to discuss completely separating out as separate, stand-alone WikiProjects. John Carter (talk) 14:42, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the notice boards of Singapore and the Philippines have already set themselves up for assessments, so they more or less qualify as projects, and will probably have to be included as such. And I've started the revisions at User:Warlordjohncarter/Preity Zinta, rewriting it into what strikes me as standard English. I'll maybe be done by the end of today. Then we can have interested editors look at it and decide which version to go with, and then nominate the finished product for GA, peer review, and, if we're lucky, FA. John Carter (talk) 15:35, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question on film lists[edit]

Hi, Blofeld. I've been wondering if there should be a field for Release Date-- maybe replacing the "Notes" section, which is pretty open-ended, and the films put in order by date of release? Any thoughts? Dekkappai (talk) 19:00, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK-- Nothing that needs to be done right away. Almost done with the Korean film lists & will start blue-linking soon. Dekkappai (talk) 19:05, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Burma geography stubs[edit]

Well, I would be one of those people, though I haven't been especially active of late, and am likely to be even less so until the second week of January, at the earliest.

Burma-geo- certainly doesn't need split at the moment, and indeed is really much too small to be split successfully. If you're planning on creating lots and lots of new Burma location stubs, and are suggesting this in anticipation of future need, then a) good thinking, and b) I'd suggest the creation of per-division upmerged templates, until each is "big enough to be out on their own". I'd certain;y be able to help with that. Sound like a plan? Alai (talk) 02:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 11:11, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Coqen County[edit]

Hola amigo! Great to see you are still working on the Tibetan material - so much still needs to be done. I like the box (although if you could use a lighter shade of blue for the county it would probably look better) - but, otherwise it is great! Useful work! Gracias!

I have also been busy, creating two new related articles on Lhamo La-tso (lake) and Chokorgyel Monastery and adding a lot to the old stub on the goddess-protector of Tibet, Palden Lhamo. I think you will enjoy the quote near the end of that article about Queen Victoria! Quite bizarre! Felicidad Navidad y uno Año Nuevo Prospero! Hasta pronto! Su amigo, Juan de la Sud.

World locations[edit]

Don't you think that your recently created template is quite redundant? We already have same templates for every continent. - Darwinek (talk) 14:38, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you are causing big future problems, unsurprisingly. Current lists are perfect, in many countries they were reworked to reflect actual local nomenclature. You are putting everything together, completely unsourced. Encarta atlas is not a valid source, e.g. their map on the Czech Republic is horrible. Fallingrain is also a completely false source, they have old names, old subdivisions and totally false population data etc. Continue working on this template if you want, it is only a matter of time someone will nominate it for deletion. -- Darwinek (talk) 14:50, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Then we should not be friends? - Darwinek (talk) 15:01, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My personal opinion doesn't matter. It's up to you. - Darwinek (talk) 15:10, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any official source is a very good thing. In the case of developed countries it is good to use statistical office and related institutions. Status of some settlements may change rapidly and this change is often not reflected in atlases like the MSN one, which is good for basic orientation, but should be only used as a supplement to official data. - Darwinek (talk) 16:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, it is a problem with countries like Myanmar or even the failed states like Somalia. No one says you are doing a bad thing as I assume your good faith and believe your intentions are good. I just like to be the most accurate as it is possible, it is also a broader issue of reliable sources. - Darwinek (talk) 16:19, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Articles[edit]

Sorry for not responding right away. Believe me, I know how many articles there can be on any given subject. The local library has an encyclopedia on South Dakota published 10 years after it achieved statehood, around the turn of the last century. It was already 400 pages long. Each and every entry in that book is eligible for its own article here as well. The same is true of many cities as well. The same library has roughly 600 page encyclopediae of Indianapolis and Louisville, and an encyclopedia on New Zealand of about 1000 pages, and all those articles would probably qualify for inclusion as well. I'm not sure if you ever heard of the fictional Encyclopedia Galactica, but it was supposed to pretty much have an entire planet required to house it. Luckily, we've only got basically the one planet to deal with at this point, but still... Personally, when faced with the prospect of the possible scope of this effort, I more or less metaphorically go into the corner and whimper a little. Probably, though, in 10 or 20 years, we may well get to the point where our own content on any medium sized city will be more than one volume in length, and don't even think about individual countries. But, like I said, I try not to think about it too much. John Carter (talk) 16:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link.

Tibet places[edit]

Hi, when I was add Chinese names to places in Tibet, I found that some places, according to my sources, belong to different prefecture (see Cêngdo, Baidi, Tibet, and Baima).

Japanese film lists[edit]

Great job as usual, Blofeld! Sure, I'm interested in helping with the Japanese films, but it looks like Japanese cinema has a lot more editors working on it-- Korean cinema, and the Japanese erotic cinema concentration both seem to need me more since they have very few dedicated editors. One thing that concerns me about the Japanese lists-- the later ones-- is the extreme amount of Anime... If these were actual films, it would be one thing, but many of these listings (at least last time I checked) go right to the TV series. And legitimate or not, the subject just doesn't interest me... Now that the yearly Korean lists are filled out, I've been blue-linking some, starting in the early '60s. Take a look at these new stubs if you have time: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... Also, I couldn't resist peeking into the steamier side of Korean cinema with Madame Aema (Knowing my interests, my wife gave me a lead on a tantalizing title that translates to "Madame Milk-Cow"... More research to come!) Dekkappai (talk) 23:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note, Blofeld. About the Anime, I mean they don't interest me as an editor (or as a human being, for that matter...), but if they are legitimate films, sure, they should stay. If they just link to a TV series though, they're pretty dubious. Audition wasn't on the list? Well that's a major oversight. Right now I'm kind of worn out for list-making after going through the Korean films, and want to start more articles for a while. I'll plan to go through the Japanese film lists for the important films are on the lists-- whether they're red- or blue-linked-- after I add some more '60s and '70s Korean film stubs. I hope I'm not neglecting those Pink films too much these days... (P.S. I researched Madame Milk-Cow-- turned out to be a major disappointment... :( Dekkappai (talk) 05:13, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey unfortunately no... I just changed a bit Zinta's lead
From:
"Following this, she went on to explore diverse characters, credited with bringing a change in the image of Hindi film heroine."
To:
"Following this, she went on to demonstrate her versatility as an actress by portraying diverse characters, and was subsequently credited with bringing a change in the image of Hindi film heroine."
What do you think? I mean, do you find here some POV? Shahid • Talk2me 17:28, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello pal, when did they have problems with that? I don't think... They said that it's glorification but I gave them refs. As for Hindi film heroine, nobody's had problems with that... It's not a peacock. They had a problem with Indian film heroine, because Hindi applies to Bollywood, and Indian to every possible cinema in India, but she works only in Bollywood.
"credited with bringing a change in the image of Hindi film heroine." BTW this was Gananapiti who wrote this.
BTW, do you have some way to write "she went on to demonstrate her versatility as an actress by portraying diverse characters"? Perhaps a better language? (although I get too Australian LOL). Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 19:06, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
LOL Sarvagnya has had only 6 (!) edits this month... Well with all due respect...

Exactly! He thinks that by coming once in two weeks and writing, "bump" some talk page he can make history, but that's the opposite. He/she himself forgot about it and gave up trying to invalidate these images.
What do you think about, "she went on to consolidate her roles range by portraying diverse characters"? Shahid • Talk2me 19:57, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I just have the feeling that demonstrate is perhaps too much for them... So I thought that would match. What about, "she went on to keep her versatility as an actress" or "she went on to consolidate her repertoire as an actress" etc? Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 20:02, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, I haven't watched that many HK films but that's great. Yeh I know I'm a bit annoying with my question, I'm just very keen to make it well written, informative and interesting.

But they say that Bollywood is very little known and is popular only among Indians there, but it's not right. There are many fans who are non-Indians too.

All of the episodes have been restored to the pre-bot removal state.

Also caught Image:Randall14.2.jpg. There were two others that were on the main series' page - Image:Randall and hopkirk deceased (original version) dvd box set cover.jpg and Image:Randall and hopkirk deceased (new version) dvd volume 2 cover.jpg (not your uploads). If you want those restored, let me know. SkierRMH (talk) 11:45, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can tell, the bot(s) look for a valid back-link to an article (which is why the one that was linked to a disambig page got picked). So as long as the fair use uses the correct article title within "[[ ]]" it shows a "correct" link and is ok'd by the bot. SkierRMH (talk) 11:53, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The articles we have on chess national championships can be found in Category:Chess national championships. We have quite a few. Voorlandt and Mibelz have done an extraordinary amount of work on them (far more than I have). They both have language skills I lack (high school French for me only, although realistically American English is the only language I can really read or write). We do have succession boxes in some chess biographies. In addition to the articles in Category:World chess champions, succession boxes have also been added to the U.S. Champions. The same could certainly be done for other national championships. As far as templates go, you can see what we have in Category:Chess templates. The only template for championships is Template:ChessWorldChampions—none of the national championships have a template. The long history of some of the championships (150 years) might make a template unwieldy, although there's probably some way to manage that. If you are interested in exploring this, you're welcome to start a discussion topic at the Chess WikiProject talk page WT:CHESS. Things will probably be a little slow there during the winter holiday season, but maybe chess project activity will pick up next year. Quale (talk) 21:39, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tree image!! Super of you to remember me. I've been cleaning up some of the Argentina films I edited and keep track of. I'll be adding reviews and images on many of them. I'm also singing up with NEXFLIX as they have most of the fils I edited. (Finally!) WOW! I'm also mushing on with noir films and will try to start a Task Force on film noir. We'll see what develops.

Hey Blofeld , baby: You just deleted two templates on a cinematographer I've been editing: John Alton. What gives? You said "THEY" don't like the template on actors. Well ALTON is a cinematographer, not an actor, is that still apply? I take it to mean there is some CONSENSUS on this? When you have the time, let me know more. Thx.

Goodness you are a hard taskmaster!!![edit]

Happy day after Boxing Day! Its been raining here too! We got 78 mm (more than 3 inches) yesterday which we badly needed. Thanks for your note and all the work you have been doing on Tibetan articles (there is so much that needs to be done - I am finding it difficult to work on other subjects as well). Fantastic work on the Great Gampo - thanks for that - it is looking very good. I will try to do some work now on Chokpori - give me a few hours grace (please) and then let me know if you are happy with it. I will start looking into the Dzogchen Rinpoches as soon as I can (I still have to do the dishes and clean up a bit from yestertay).

By the way, I have just written my first column for the Japanese on-line youth magazine, "Groovin' High' and thought you might like to take a peek (and have a laugh). You also might find the photos fun if you get bored later on in the holidays. ;-) Anyway, you can find it at: http://www.groovinhigh.jp/journal/johnhill/0034/ A Japanese friend kindly set it all up for me and they translate my English into Japanese. I am by far he oldest correspondent! I am to do one column a month for 3 months and then they will let me know if they want me to continue. The next column will be about Cape York Peninsula.

Fair use rationale for Image:AndyHardyMeetsDebutante.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AndyHardyMeetsDebutante.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Imagestart (talk) 13:07, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


A tag has been placed on Sablon, Germaine, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

unnecessary redirect

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Sydney Know It Alltalk 14:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 18:42, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh great work! Good luck!!! I'm now working on Shilpa Shetty! What do you think? I would also like the Zinta article to go to GA, but there are some unpleasant GA reviewers who will be very happy to fail the entry. I think we should go directly to some of the good GA reviewers, what do you think? Shahid • Talk2me 14:26, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well yes you're right... I really sdon't know about the Mani Ratnam Show... And don't know about the year. What do you think about the lead? I've expanded it. The main problem is Undue weight. The career section is only about 20%. Additionally, as says the GA review, the account is also heavily focussed on 2006-07 incidents. Unfortunately Shetty wasn't as popular in the 90s. Although I've always liked her, since the days of Baazigar and Main Khiladi To Anari. And even in the 2000s she was quite neglected. You must see her brilliant performance in Phir Milenge; she was just amazing and won no awards for this performance. That hurts!! She had no recognition by big banners. Dharma Productions and the most successful Yash Raj Films always preferred the Kajol, the Rani and the Preity. Shetty has always been featured as top model and recognised as having the best body in the business, but wasn't recognised as an actress. BTW, you should see her in this clip with Akshay Kumar. They had a long relationship after this film. See this!!! She is so so so hot!!! She is only 19-yrs-old here! Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 15:01, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see we have to add minor comments in parts on what an actor thinks about his films, why he chooses that role/film. On Jolie's page, it appears quite often.
What do you think about my last addition on the Zinta page? -->
"She explained that the film was a great relief after heavily shooting for Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, as it was 'easy, happy and much more simple.'"
Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 15:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ha ha ha ha ha LOL!!!
I think some roles also deserve a mention of how the actor prepared for them and what he had done to make it well.
As for the Shetty article --- The controversies are HUGE!! This mafia section deserves at least one-two paragrpahs, and all the other controversies as well. No need to give a quote by every singly person. See the Bharat Shah case of Zinta was undoubtedly the best known and most publicised controversy in Bollywood this decade. It was a shock for the industry. In spite of this, we have only one paragraph on the Zinta article, although she won a national award for her brave stand against the underworld. Things have to be mentioned in a general way. The Shetty mafia controversy wasn't such a big deal from what I know. The RIchard Gere kissing incident either.. it's pretty silly. She is an actor, that's what we have to highlight I think: Her acting career first of all, then her media appearances and activities as a celebrity etc. Then her personal life, and now I'm really sure that controversies are generally part of an actor's personal life thus should be mentioned there.

Thank You Blofeld, thank you very much for your kind words. I wil definitely considering both of them for a GA but that will only happen during the summer (I hope). University is going to begin soon and I won't be able to come as often as I do now on Wikipedia but once it is done, I definitely plan to do so. I still have to expand Rani Mukerji's page and do some minor touches on Kareena Kapoor's page. Shahid helps me out with them and I am really grateful for that. As for the sources, after what happened with Preity Zinta's page, Shahid told me to change all of the non-rs to rs on Kapoor's page. Thankfully I did the same for Mukerji's as well. There was no one taking much care of the article but I plan to work on it little by little. Thanks for warning me about the images as well. I will be careful. P.S. How was your Christmas? Did you get a lot of gifts? LOL. Anyways, wish you all the best for the New Year. Can't believe 2007 is already done. My Best Regards --Bollywood Dreamz Talk 18:42, 31 December 2007

But I definitely give credit to you and Shahid for improving Zinta's article by leaps and bounds, and setting it as a role model for other pages. As Shahid said, "Bollywood pages are really deprived." They really need to be looked after and worked on. The Casino Royale (2006 film) page is amazing and it is definitely a model for other films on Wikipedia. Thanks for the wishes!! I will need them. LOL....

Mabel Normand filmography[edit]

Thanks for the tip about the decades list this morning. Your talk page is looking altogether different from the last time I was here and I like the changes (by the way, I love Ian Fleming's books). I just compulsively finished every film in my Mabel Normand page's filmography and I am now permanently retiring from writing on Wikipedia. That is my New Years' Resolution. It's too addictive and sucks up too much of my time. I'm quite happy to finish while coincidentally happening to be writing about my favorite actress and now it's time to stop, once and for all, for both my Skymasterson and Storyliner identities. Meanwhile, Happy New Years' Eve! I'm debating whether to go downtown and watch the ball drop but I'm sure I'll just pass through Times Square this afternoon instead.Storyliner (talk) 20:24, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
