Trivia
[edit]Please do not re-add trivia sections that have been removed from articles. Trivia sections are frowned upn on Wikipedia (see WP:TRIV) and the one that you insist on re-adding to the Amitabh Bachchan article is a classic example of why such sections are discouraged.

[edit]I took two hours to clean up Amitabh Bachchan's awards page, so please don't revert the page again because you were the one who messede it up. Some of the so called "awards" are not awards at all, some of them are not national at all, and some of them are not supported by reliable sites.
For example, "Voted the 'Greatest Actor' in the film personalities category" by some magazine is NOT a national award and not an award at all. I didn't remove it but move it down to a new section. Some "award" titles MUST have been removed. The fact that Desifans.com names him the best doesn't matter, for the simple fact that it's a blog.

Little context in Bengal Film Journalists' Association - Best Actor Award
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/35/Information_icon.svg/62px-Information_icon.svg.png)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Bengal Film Journalists' Association - Best Actor Award, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

[edit]Please stop changing the nominations on Filmfare Best Actor Award. Bachchan has received 26 nominations, not 28. Shahid • Talk2me 13:33, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
STOP it
[edit]This is the last warning you will receive for your false edits. Bachchan received ONE nomination in 1983, not three. Shahid • Talk2me 11:36, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- No no no - it was ONE nomination for THREE roles - see the official site if you want. Shahid • Talk2me 11:31, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
- This was the time when Filmfare were giving only five nominations per year, they gave him one nomination for three movies - BollywoodHungama is nothing compared to the official site. See this. Anyway - if you choose to take things as you want to, it's your problem. Please stop reverting the article to your version. Done here. Shahid • Talk2me 15:34, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Guide to referencing
[edit]Click on "show" on the right of the orange bar to open contents.
Using references (citations) |
---|
I thought you might find it useful to have some information about references (refs) on wikipedia. These are important to validate your writing and inform the reader. Any editor can remove unreferenced material; and unsubstantiated articles may end up getting deleted, so when you add something to an article, it's highly advisable to also include a reference to say where it came from. Referencing may look daunting, but it's easy enough to do. Here's a guide to getting started. If you need any assistance, let me know. -- Ty 08:15, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
A reference must be accurate, i.e. it must prove the statement in the text. To validate "Mike Brown climbed Everest", it's no good linking to a page about Everest, if Mike Brown isn't mentioned, nor to one on Mike Brown, if it doesn't say that he climbed Everest. You have to link to a source that proves his achievement is true. You must use reliable sources, such as published books, mainstream press, and authorised web sites. Blogs, Myspace, Youtube, fan sites and extreme minority texts are not usually acceptable, nor is original research (e.g. your own unpublished, or self-published, essay or research), or another wikipedia article.
The first thing you have to do is to create a "Notes and references" section (unless it already exists). This goes towards the bottom of the page, below the "See also" section and above the "External links" section. Enter this code:
The next step is to put a reference in the text. Here is the code to do that. It goes at the end of the relevant term, phrase, sentence, or paragraph to which the note refers, and after punctuation such as a full stop, without a space (to prevent separation through line wrap):
Whatever text you put in between these two tags will become visible in the "Notes and references" section as your reference.
Open the edit box for this page, copy the following text (inserting your own text where indicated), paste it at the bottom of the page and save the page:
(End of text to copy and paste.) It should appear like this:
You need to include the information to enable the reader to find your source. For an online newspaper source, it might look like this:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Note the single square brackets around the URL and the article title. The format is:
Make sure there is a space between the URL and the Title. This code results in the URL being hidden and the title showing as a link. Use double apostrophes for the article title (it is quoted text), and two single quote marks either side of the name of the paper (to generate italics). Double square brackets round the name of the paper create an internal link (a wikilink) to the relevant wikipedia article. Apostrophes must go outside the brackets. The date after The Guardian is the date of the newspaper, and the date after "Retrieved on" is the date you accessed the site – useful for searching the web archive in case the link goes dead.
You can use sources which are not online, but which you have found in a library or elsewhere—in which case leave out the information which is not relevant. The newspaper example above would be formatted like this:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Here is an example for a book:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Make sure you put two single quote marks round the title (to generate italics), rather than one double quote mark.
These formats are all acceptable for dates:
You may prefer to use a citation template to compile details of the source. The template goes between the ref tags and you fill out the fields you wish to. Basic templates can be found here: Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Citation quick reference
The first time a reference appears in the article, you can give it a simple name in the <ref> code:
The second time you use the same reference in the article, you need only to create a short cut instead of typing it all out again:
You can then use the short cut as many times as you want. Don't forget the /, or it will blank the rest of the article! Some symbols don't work in the ref name, but you'll find out if you use them. The quotes around the name are optional unless there is a space in the name. You can see multiple use of the same refs in action in the article William Bowyer (artist). There are three sources and they are each referenced three times. Each statement in the article has a footnote to show what its source is.
The above method is simple and combines references and notes into one section. A refinement is to put the full details of the references in their own section headed "References", while the notes which apply to them appear in a separate section headed "Notes". The notes can be inserted in the main article text in an abbreviated form as seen in Harriet Arbuthnot or in a full form as in Brown Dog affair.

Notice
[edit]Please use a proper formatting of references. It's not enough to use "[http...url.com]" - please consider it. You have already been notified about it but did not bother to work according to this generous guidance. Sorry, but you will have to do it. Also remember to use reliable sources. If you do not use the proper format and do not adhere to policy your edits will not be accepted. Shahid • Talk2me 10:48, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I saw you have deleted so many articles from the "List of Amitabh Bachchan's awards, honours and recognitions". I still don't understand that. You have also deleted Such article as, that In June 2000, Bachchan became the first living Asian to have been immortalised in wax at London's prestigious Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. Link: http://www.screenindia.com/news/art-of-cinema-is-a-small-contribution-amitabh-bachchan/441709/ and Bachchan got Honory Doctorate from the Leeds Metropolitan University in Yorkshire in 2007. Link http://www.lmu.ac.uk/internat/region/south_asia/south_asia.htm or http://gulfnews.com/news/world/india/leeds-awards-honorary-degrees-to-3-film-veterans-1.183690
Why have you deleted these 2 big international recognition of Bachchan.
Please use reliable sources, such as mainstream newspapers (or in this particular instance the home site of the award) for citations, not forum posts, blogs, personal websites, gossip pages etc. Active Banana (bananaphone 14:58, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Salman Khan
[edit]I have just posted on the Talk:List of awards and nominations received by Salman Khan page. There seems to be a check or two needed on the article. thanks Chaosdruid (talk) 21:19, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Please start using reliable sources when you're adding awards. This has become insufferable and will no longer be tolerated. Also, please do fill in the citations using {{cite web}} and {{cite news}} parameters where required. Being a Wikipedia user for more than 3 years, it's high time you learnt to use them. Shahid • Talk2me 16:43, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
Last warning
[edit]Please stop vandalising the Shahrukh Khan page, while adding completely irrelevant pages to the issue. Also, the Amitabh Bachchan page is not your fansite, and stop copying verbatim sentences from other articles.
If you do it again, you will be blocked from editing. Shahid • Talk2me 11:09, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
I am not vandalising the Shahrukh Khan page, but the three articles about Shahrukh as "King of Bollywood" are old, Dec 19, 2008, February 05, 2008 and 4 August 2006. According to BoxOfficeIndia is Shahrukh since 2009 no longer more the King of Bollywood. It's Aamir Khan. And now even Salman Khan is far ahead of Shahrukh. You are wright, Wikipedia is not a fan-site. So how can Wikipedia write nonsense like Shahrukh is the King of Bollywood. He is now where close to Aamir Khan. Check this of BoxOfficeIndia http://www.boxofficeindia.com/cpages.php?pageName=top_actors If you are putting old articles to claim someone as King, than you should put also old articles on the page of Amitabh Bachchan or Dilip Kumar to claim that they are also King of Bollywood. Check also this most recent BoxOfficeIndia.Com Star Power Rankings INDIA 29/10/11 http://www.boxofficeindia.com/manage_stars.php?c=star_ranking_india So, who's the Real King? Amen
- The fact that his films don't do that well today does not mean his achievements are all gone. Those who are currently the most successful, good for them. The "King of Bollywood" does not derive from who is he no. 1 at the box office now. It's a nickname, not an old one (see this and this - these are new articles. No one is really a king, but SRK is the one who's referred to by this title, there's a book called like this. BRW, so far his films do the best business in overseas markets, should not be ignored.

Disambiguation link notification
[edit]Hi. When you recently edited List of awards and nominations received by Amitabh Bachchan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Maharashtrian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I have change on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amitabh_Bachchan that Amitabh Bachchan has been nominated overall 37 times in the Filmfare Acting category. I did also change that he has been nominated for the film Aarakshan in the Filmfare Best Actor category. This is my source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filmfare_Award_for_Best_Actor So, I didn't anything wrong. I have only updated the page of Amitabh Bachchan.
I would appreciate if you can put your comments here. - Vivvt • (Talk) 15:52, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
