Preity Zinta

Preity Zinta is an Indian actress and entrepreneur primarily known for her work in Hindi films. After graduating with degrees in English honours and criminal psychology, Zinta made her acting debut in Dil Se.. in 1998. She soon became a popular star and established herself as one of the leading actresses of Hindi cinema, receiving recognition for roles that were often deemed culturally defiant and for her unconventional screen persona. Zinta has won several accolades for her work in films, including two Filmfare Awards, and her performance in the Canadian drama Heaven on Earth (2008) earned her the Silver Hugo Award for Best Actress from the Chicago International Film Festival. Apart from acting, in 2004 Zinta was the only witness amidst a group of film stars to testify against the Indian mafia, for which she was awarded the Godfrey Phillips National Bravery Award. Her film appearances became fewer when she ventured into business; she has been a co-owner of the Indian Premier League cricket team Punjab Kings since 2008, and the owner of the South-African T20 Global League cricket team Stellenbosch Kings since 2017.

This group of articles is an overview of the life, career, and achievements of one of India's biggest stars at one time. The main article is the first Wikipedia article on an Indian actor that was ever promoted to FA, and its success, as many great editors have told me, inspired them to improve other articles on Indian stars. My wikifriends and I have been keeping an eye on this article, updating and improving it throughout the years. Her filmography was promoted to FL by a prolific editor, FrB.TG. Just a few hours ago, the list of her accolades has been promoted to FL as well, so I figured I should give it a try here as well. --Shahid • ^Talk2me 19:06, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Support Comments remove Forbes per WP:RSP, always cite Sify as publisher solely on any of the refs, change The Vancouver Sun to Vancouver Sun and Washington Post to The Washington Post, always cite NDTV as publisher for those refs and dates need to be consistently in the DMY format. These comments should make it clear that my issues are with the references; the prose is solid and MOS has been followed well, great job working so hard on these articles! --K.

  @Kyle Peake: All points addressed. Thank you, Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:23, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Shshshsh It is good to see that you have responded in due course, yet ref 199 of the main Preity Zinta article is incorrectly formatted currently and ref 76 of filmography is using the wrong date formatting. --K. Peake 07:42, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  @Kyle Peake: My bad. Issues fixed. Ref. 76 on the other page has been replaced. Shahid • ^Talk2me 09:54, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mountain pigeon

Mountain pigeons are four species of birds in the genus Gymnophaps in the pigeon family Columbidae. They are found on islands in eastern Indonesia and Melanesia, where they inhabit hill and montane forest. They mostly have dull grey, white, or chestnut-brown plumage, with bright red skin around the eyes being their most distinctive feature. Males and females mostly look alike, but the Papuan mountain pigeon shows slight sexual dimorphism. Mountain pigeons are very social and are usually seen in flocks of at least 10–40 birds, although some species can form flocks of more than 100 individuals. They are generally quiet and do not make many vocalisations. However, they make a distinctive whooshing noise while leaving their high-altitude roosts to feed in the morning. Mountain pigeons are arboreal (living in trees) and feed on a wide variety of fruit like figs and drupes, mainly foraging for food in the canopy. All four species are listed as being of least concern on the IUCN Red List.

A self-contained genus topic with a clearly defined scope that I've been working on for about four months now. Four GAs and one FA, all of them very recently promoted. This series contains all the published info I was able to find and is likely the most comprehensive work about the genus you could find. --AryKun (talk) 08:09, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Support: The genus and all four species, joined by a category for the genus, all at quality. Great work! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 15:11, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Support Comments the main article features usages of "they" too close to each other, especially in the lead, while this applies to the other ones for the term "it". Make sure date formatting is consistent for all of them and the distribution/habitat section should be merged with the above in Buru and Seram mountain pigeon articles per overly short size, also the following section on Seram has two consecutive paras both comprising one sentence; that needs to be worked on. I will support once these issues are fixed and honestly, top job working so hard on finding all this information from fully reliable sources! --K. Peake 07:44, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've merged some of the smaller subsections in the articles. The date formatting is yyyy-mm-dd everywhere where that much info is provided and yyyy where I couldn't find month and day. I can't really do much about "they" and "it", I've tried to vary the nouns and pronouns, but only so many you can use. It's a bit like using "he", "she", or "they" in a bio, you can't really change it around beyond a point. The distribution sections can't be merged anywhere else and honestly are best left as a small para. AryKun (talk) 10:39, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AryKun Thanks for working on the articles and I am fine with the usage of those words upon further consideration, yet the date formatting layout still remains inconsistent, for example using 11 November 2021 and 2021-11-17 in this article. --K. Peake 12:25, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kyle Peake Okay, I've gone through all the articles and replaced dd month yyyy dates with yyyy-mm-dd (it was the cite iucn ref defaults that formatted them that way). AryKun (talk) 10:23, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support, I love to see topics about animals. They're definitely more important than video games, to say the least. Panini! • 🥪 17:59, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update, if this sounded sarcastic that was not my intention. Panini! • 🥪 00:07, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Support, all species in the genus are good or featured, with no extinct species or subspecies articles to complicate things. Very good job, and it is truly nice to see more animal good topics. Dare I hope to see more bird genera- or even families- nominated as GTs in the future? --SilverTiger12 (talk) 16:33, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
