Yes, per your query, I am trying to help out when I can to clean up Wikipedia. Bearian 19:50, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about the late reply. Made some small grammar edits and found some citations; thanks for keeping me posted. Best, DJRafe 04:33, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Sure, no problem at all! I'd be glad to help you out!
Tonight or tomorrow I will take a further look at both articles and will add the necessary information.
And do not worry, I can do it all by myself, I just finished my exams period and have time ;)

I need your help on Rani Mukerji's page. Haphar seems to delete almost everything every week. And it's frustrating. Also, we need a discussion on Filmfare Awards where the dates are of when the movies were released rather than when the award was given. - shez_15
you reverted my post in a discussion page, but left the other guys post. now you tell me why --Mhart54com 02:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
A ((prod)) template has been added to the article In-N-Out Burger menu items, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with ((db-author)). -- RoySmith (talk) 14:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shweta_Tiwari all the info on this page has been copied and pasted from her official fansite - www.shwetatiwari.net
the least you people can do is put the fansite in the references list instead of plagiarizing and removing links to her actual, original, exclusive resources.
otherwise, write up a whole new and ORIGINAL wiki page for her without listing her site in the references and we are fine with that.
Hi,
Thank you for your message, but i am afraid i do not feel "shaped" fot the kind of job you randomly asked me to do. Even if, no doubt about that, the girl has generous shapes, my personal contribution should rather aim at reducing the - to my opnion only - already extravagant article devoted to her.
Sorry for my lack of cooperation - this time -, and my selfish choice that will keep english speaking people unconscious of the (very) hidden messages lying in the italian article. Understand me; i have absolutely nothing against the girl. If i were not married, i should say "Nope, on the contrary, argh", but you will easily understand i have strong reasons to keep to strict neutrality...
I suggest you to affect the article to someone else, that should be more cooperative, madly in fanatical and desperate love with her (and ... less married too). In short, someone definitively younger.
Never mind, i promise, one day , in order to apologise, i will translate you something else, on a subject i will choose myself, in english, from a french or italian subject. I am effectively more used to create new articles, even at times translated from english into french (fr:cuirassé bouvet, fr:will self, fr:scotch egg, fr:Leicester rouge fr:fromage d'Ayrshire, fr:Stilton avec des Cranberries...) or from italian to french or directly in italian.
See you.--AchilleT 22:21, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
I understand. Not an issue.
Just to clarify, I picked out that article at random. Several articles in English Wikipedia have better articles in other languages Wikipedias. As a member of Team Echo, we're just trying to help all the different language Wikipedias grow and help each other out.
Hoping you will help out the community with your fantastic language skills,

Thank you for your understanding. Do not worry; i will find a better way to help the community, that suits me better. And i'll ask you to correct my poor english, Is that OK with you ? --AchilleT 20:12, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Absolutely. Always looking for ways to help out :)
Hope to work with you on an article sometime, xC | ☎ 15:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I was just rereading the David DeAngelo AfD, and I realized that you asked me a question which I didn't answer. So, sorry that it took so long for me to realize you asked! I cannot apologize enough. You asked if I was a deletionist, and I'm inclined to say "no" -- deletionists typically have very high standards for what should be allowed on Wikipedia, and I'm usually not too concerned with that. For example, there was the attempted webcomic purge, but on that matter I'm on the side of webcomics. I even feel -- and no deletionist would ever accept this -- that Wikipedia's prohibitions on original research are absolutely and totally misguided. (I'll not bore you by explaining; just suffice it to say that I disagree.)
Anyways, that was my first attempt at "hosting" an AfD, if that's a proper term. And I think I'm going to avoid them in the future -- I thought I'd made a completely transparent case, but in the course of the debate: (1) People paid little to no attention to what notability really means on Wikipedia, (2) I was accused of being pro-life, even though I'm not, (3) I was accused of being opposed to his teachings, which as far as I can tell I'm not. Meanwhile, it's really not my concern how Wikipedians waste these particular kilobytes of Wikipedia's hard drive space. I might not see more point to an article about DeAngelo's personal beliefs than I see about an article on my own, but hey--it's not really my problem and I don't really care much.
Hope that cleared this up; though in all likelihood I'd imagine you forgot that you asked! -- Drostie 13:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

in some newspaper articels it says that Hrithik is helping to write Krrish 2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tehreemk (talk • contribs) 16:10, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, to include that in the article we're gonna have to have a reliable source. If indeed it came in the newspaper that he was helping write the script, we also need to figure out if indded its true.
Have a look at WP:RS and WP:V for more information.

a comment on the discussion about cobalds.
i use wikipedia and the net regularly to research folklore and myth and find it an invaluable resource but im really sick of ending up reading about gaming characters. folklore is the history of beliefs of civilisations, gaming is fictional and they should not be mixed. it makes research too hard and that i assume is not the aim of wikipedia. by all means have gaming pages and characters but please keep them seperate from genuine mythology and folklore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.7.34.195 (talk) 08:11, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey xC!
Just dropped to tell you that Zinta is a GA! I see you're on-line that's why I say, perhaps it'll interest you:)
Best regards, Shahid • Talk2me 23:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes thats exactly what happened. Some user tried to delete a lot of work he's put into the Indian articles by attempting to describe references as inadequate. Naturally Shshsh wasn't pleased about it and protested particularly as this user had in the minutes before attacked several of the other pages and then visited the nomination with the intent to give the "strongest oppose possible". Its like the actions of a child. I can't see anywhere that Shahid reacted in a really offesnsive way and I have to admit he is right about most of the points that were recently addressed. I find it disturbing than the blocker can't see any fault on the other users part either ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 18:46, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
It is only a 24 hour block. I just always hate the fuss that is made over FA'S and the major reactions you get from people on what are only minor issues. This is why I rarely can be bothered to go for an FA as this is the kind of people and accusations and a whole lot of hoohah you meet. Much Ado About Nothing if you ask me. I'm also pretty tired of people accusing me of canvassing and being sad enough to cite historical quotes of mine to try yo make it look like I asked people for support -thats pretty sad don't you think. What I don't like is the people who always have the strongest objections never actually try to do something themselves - it seems some people like to intentially cause conflict. ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 19:03, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't think it actually 100 but I asked a lot of people from a range of different fields to try to get a broader perspective on it and a fairer review of it rather than being in the same hands of people like Sandy Georgia and Rahul every time. Somebody was telling me earlier that they put an article up for FA and in a month only two people commented -so he gave up. ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 19:20, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Well I'm going to stay clear of it for several days. I've done pretty much all I'm willing to give to it -there are two million other articles which need attention. Its now up to these opposers and any copy editors to fix what they think is wrong and help promote it. Now we've had about 22 supports which is superb but it really always is the decision of Sandy Georgia and finally Rahul every time in whether an FA passes. There is definately something wrong in the process that the decision is down to one person in the end. I remember at the first Casino Royale FA nomination we had about 35 supports icnluding about 15 strong supports yet Sandy Georgia opposed and we had to restart the nomination a second and a thrid time with considerably less turn out for each one afterwards. It took four months to promote it and it underwent very little change from start to finish. This is why I nearly gave up on every pursuing an FA again, I had a hard time with the Abbas Kiarostami article too. I don't like to dedicate weeks to trivialities when there are millions of stubs on here which need more urgent attnetion. ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 20:10, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Exactly - for me it is all about content - to build this as extensive as is possible and writing in the most concise and clear and resourceful way possible. Now I also like to ensure the article is well written and has reliable sources but for me minor issues over extra commas etc are just not a major reason to denounce the article as poor. If you read the Zinta article in the context of the encyclopedia most people who never knew about her would probably be pleasantly surprised at such a detailed article on an Indian actress and would give them about as much information as they would want to know and the article towers above the many stubs even on many important subjects. One thing I always notice at FA's is that people don't seem to comment directly on the article content or information in the article which is of vital importance but other issues. Even as we speak there are thousands of even Indian articles which are unreferenced, or sub stubs that require more attention. ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 20:45, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes it does make me question where the priorities are. Certain articles will go months without a single edit yet articles like SRK will create edit wars over a few words in just minutes. If people stopped fussing over trivial things and got on with working on what this is all about I guarantee you we'd see the general quality of articles increase dramtically. FOr instance if you picked up a book encyclopedia you woulnd't focus on one tiny article out of its many thousands and start to question commas and spaces when there are thousands of other articles to read and learn about!! Wow I checked out Discrete Bipolar Transistor Biasing -that is a terrific new article but I'm afraid I am not an expert on higher mathematics and physics -although my grandad was actually an electrician!!!. Although I managed to blag an A* at GCSE and my IQ test told me I have a mathemtical brain type (don't ask me how it came up with that) I've always been more into the arts - at A-level I studied history, english and geography and Human Geography at UNi - I dropped my law degree at Cardiff University as it bored me!! I hope to go into environmental management one day. I'm gonna try writing a full length article on Deforestation in Cambodia some time. One thing though I'd suggest is to add a few references but I guess it's difficult if the article is compiled from one source. ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 21:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm very grateful indeed for you work on Indian cinema. Didi you know about some of the difficulty I had with getting the Bollywood blog licensing for the images. That also was pretty painful!! - I had all sorts of people trying to delete them and ruin it. Keep up the great work amigo!!! ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 21:22, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Wow. Yes Cardiff Law School it was not far from City Hall, Cardiff -down the road on the right of that picture. I didn't amke it out of the second week I hated it!!! i was thikning about a long illustrious carer than would make me a top salary but if you aren't into it then whats the point.!! Anyway all the best and keep up the editing. I'm gonna tediously continue filling in American films of 1972!! I have some hundred years of films to document! ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 21:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Didi you know what the word count of english wikipedia is? ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 22:25, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
I have it on my own main page. I feel it tells a lot more that the number of articles. 903,000,000 words. Over 900 million words!! for english wikipedia in the articles. Probably 4 billion in total. Crazy isn't it!! ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 22:35, 3 November 2007 (UTC) I created my own main page and found a way to java script it so when I click main page on the task bar it goes to this page. I asked the permission of the guy who does all the data work for wikipedia and allowed me to use the upkeep counters. When I see the word count rocketing by over 100,000 every day it kind of makes me more enthusiastic about it. I thought it looked cooler that the standard one. I also found it handy to have an A-Z index for quick navigation See User:Blofeld/Main Page ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 22:40, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
I guess it helps me to keep track of development and to find things easier to access. It is difficult to imagine how wikipedia would look if it was published so I try to use the tools to picture it. Hey where are you living my the way? ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 22:47, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes it would probably take half the trees in the Amazon to print it wouldn't it!!! Ah excellent wow isn't it late where you are? I live in Barry, Wales and its about 10.50 pm here. I'd love to visit India some day. Hey you should know a lot about Bollywood then!! I tell you its shocking how little coverage the industry gets over here. Most people have never heard of SRK or Amitabh and only know Shilpa Shetty because of Big Brother. Its quite ignorant really that world films are ignored so much and American, British film dominates. I would love to see more Bollywood films shown over here ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 22:55, 3 November 2007 (UTC) Me too I'm to bed also!! ♦ King of Baldness ♦ "Talk"? 23:05, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Xcentaur, it's good to be back and meet familiar faces again. :) I'm quite happy with Chiranjeevi's page, however I'm wondering how long it will stay this way. :) If you have a look at it, I think something went wrong with the table of Chiru's filmography when I cleaned it up today, however I cannot figure out how to fix it. Do you have any ideas? It's possible just one small thing somewhere, but it escapes me. Best regards, --Plumcouch Talk2Me 01:45, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello xC,
The FAC was not promoted. Yet, I'm happy that we guys did our best to improve the article.
I contacted a very good user - User:Classicfilms, who is mainly responsible for the page. I haven't yet received any reply from him/her.
But I definitely doubt the article being promoted with non-RS sites, as these things are really well checked by the community, before featuring any FA at the "Today's featured article" section on the main page. Let's see what Mr Classicfilms thinks of it, and wait for his reply.
Best regards, Shahid • Talk2me 08:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Dear Xcentaur!
You know I like you. And I like your points. Agree with most of them. Yet, I'm sad.
First of all, reviews are always necessary, and see Jolie's page for evidence. Self claims are good as long as they don't provide personal opinion, like Muerji's (yak).
Please see what Blofeld did. Because of this stupid GA review, he's left Wikipedia, after having more than 90,000 edits here. KNM removed Askman, please help me to add it back. I'm sad. :(
