New message

Upside down Mr. Bigglesworth. Not impressed huh?

I've had it for a few months and I requested that you had it as soon as I was granted it. But the admin (who was a teenager) who was reviewing it wouldn't comply. I said you do a lot of revertion of articles from vandalism. Basically you click rollback and it reverts any edits made by the last person instantly evne if they have made ten edits. I said this would be very useful for you in particularly but he said something about you not always reverting vandalism and often reverting valid additions. He said it shouldn't be abused. Well I disagreed and think you have a pretty good idea of what should be kept or not. Perhaps you could ask somebody else as I feel it would be useful for you ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 14:07, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Less details required

In the RM article Too many role details and critics comments is detrimental too, can we reduce the number please , else it does not quite seem balanced, there is the film's article page for details of the roles Haphar (talk) 08:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New topic

Hello Shahid, my name is Diya. I am quite new here in wikipedia (just opened my account today :)...). Anywaz, I was just reading the Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna page and i thought maybe i could add something extra- the thing that i want to add is that many people complain that songs didnt match the movie at all, but i felt that Karan Johar had actually placed the songs very well and had given subtle clues (for once in a Bollywood movie, the songs are actually carrying the movie along and they is a story within the song itself). So, i thought maybe i could write them down, so that people can understand and appreciate Karan's work and understand this movie better. I have the feeling you are the administrator (you are in charge of this, right?), so i was hoping to have your permission in writing on that page (it's not much and very interesting :). I wont disappoint you). Anywaz, i hope to hear from you soon. Take care--23 diya ^Talk 11:44, 5 March 2008

Hey buddy, how you doing? You were on an editing spree today. LOL. Anyways, I completely agree with you about the Rani Mukerji article. I personally didn't not Shez15 but Mukerji's page did have a lot of POV before and both of you had many conflicts. That's why, I only added some of the things back that Haphar removed in his edits. Thanks for adding some more back. So how are you these days? What is new? I haven't talked to you for quite a while. --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 17:42, 20 February 2008

Yeah, I am currently back to university. I had the last week off but I am back to university again. Urghhhh!! :( Hey Shahid, did you see the poster of Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor's forthcoming movie Main Aur Mrs.Khanna This is another confusing thing. I am going to create the page later [You can create it if you want] but I wanted to ask you something. According to the poster, the title of the film is Main Aur Mrs.Khanna. Should we create the page with that name or Main Aur Mrs. Khanna. Note: The only difference between the two is the space between the period and Khanna. LOL. BTW, IndiaFM doesn't have the period but that can be automatically ruled out. --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 18:24, 21 February 2008

I have been doing fine just a bit stressed about University. Nonetheless, I am getting used to the load of work. I do miss Wikipedia at times but once summer comes, I will be able to go on more often. I hear that Preity Zinta's article is again being reassessed for a GA. Anyways, I have some time now, so I will start creating the article on Main Aur Mrs. Khanna. Regards --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 01:25, 22 February 2008

Hey, thanks for updating Kareena Kapoor's page and her awards section. I am so happy. :) LOL. Regards --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 20:41, 23 February 2008

Hey Shahid, thanks for your help on Kapoor's page. (Added note which I think is indeed important, only that emphasis makes me angry.) --> I hope you are not mad at me. --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 00:15, 25 February 2008

Congrats on Zinta's article becoming a GA. Your hard work has finally paid off. All the best with your future projects. Look at Preity here. Despite very little make-up, she looks gorgeous. BTW, do you know what is she wearing on her right hand?? Furthermore, there is also some good news but I will tell you that later. What happened with Blofeld? --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 20:25, 26 February 2008

Wow Shahid, I can see you are really busy these days... and so am I. ;) I didn't know what the thing was that is why I asked you. LOL. Well, it is too early to tell you about the good news but don't worry I will tell you soon. Hey, I remember that you told me recently that you saw Chameli. The last time I saw it, it was 4 yrs back. I just needed to ask you a question about her character in the movie. Do you remember if her mother or her uncle sold her to the brothel when she was young? Since Wikipedia has something and other sites have something else, I just wanted to make sure. Do you remember?? Thanks in advance!! BTW, do you know why Blofeld left? --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 15:50, 27 February 2008

Zinta

Although I did not read the article lately, I quickly went through the GA assessment. And after reading the assessment, I feel it is time to take the article to FAC. This "western reviews needed" will not hold good in FAC. I mean, FAC has a broader audience, and this argument will not be entertained. Sandy has also hinted this in her comment in the talk page.

The review tells that prose is ok. Images are also ok. I did not understand that comment, "I continue to be unsure what kind of degree she attained". What did the reviewer mean? In any case, it's time for FAC I guess.--Dwaipayan (talk) 08:43, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking links

Hi. It's not my place to go on at you so I won't. I'm not saying that all people in Indian film deserve an article but can you please be careful with the links you shut off. I see you unwikified the missing links on Patthar Ke Phool which potentially shut off a string of new articles and filling in links on many other actors pages. I started Anant Balani and therefore filled in the missing articles Mumbai Matinee, Ek Din 24 Ghante‎ and Jazbaat (1994 film) which rids of links in over ten articles. Also starting Nirmal Jani rids of 17 red links on various film pages. I know you are busy and occupied at present but I would rather the red links were stubbed (if notable) rather than blocking them off. Please feel free if you come across an article where there are too many red links and I'll be happy to start the articles quickly. I'm sure really you would rather the articles were created rather than not. I see you are rather occupied with that user at present -good luck. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 15:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh and that section on Jodhaa I suggested about the Historical accuracy that looks good now. This is what I was thinking. Sometimes other editors need to learn the hard way at what is relevant to an article ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 16:18, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I've done all I can, its not my fault if you choose not to listen to my requests. I'd rather not have to spend time asking you, I just figured developing Bollywood on wikipedia was also important to you and I am surprised you try to curb its growth ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 17:57, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep thats what I'm saying. Those one time editors etc or cinematographers with two films etc or whatever should be quite rightly be shut off just leave the notable ones linked. I hate red links too!! -which is why I create so many articles. All I am saying is if you come across a page with a lot of red links in the future -please tell me and I'll try to create the missing articles if they are notable and block the rest.

P.S.: By the way, I think if the issues raised at the GA reassessment are addressed, and that doesn't necessarily mean that you necessarily do everything they ask, but at least indicate why you didn't for good cause, I'm not at all sure that it wouldn't be a virtually certain FA. Having said that, I can easily imagine you're tired of that article right now, and might want to take a break from it for a well-earned respite.

Congrats Shahid, long time deserved!!! Sorry I wasn't here to congratulate you earlier, fed up with my talk page being a dumping ground for discouraging comments.

Regards ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 16:17, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello friend! Thanks. It feels like I've been away ages. Well it wasn't just his comment -I'm tired of people trying to put me off and I think it is unneccesary to be cynical to others. My talk page is not a dumping ground for such comments and despite my warnings people still come and try to put me off the site!. I am very surprised that nobody has continued with the French town project much; it seems to have come to a stand still for whatever reason, wow I didn't realise people that some people were inspired by my work and was a factor in making them contribute. If in any way I do encourage other editors then this is a great thing and will make me feel like doing the best that I can for people. A couple of days ago there were five editors at least actively adding them. Amazing - people have started adding working on the french articles already in the last few minutes!!! That must be a coincidence surely?

It is always the content and potential of the site and the kindness of the editors I like so much on here that outshines any negative aspects of wikipedia. If only there were more editors like yourselves. I;m so happy for you that the dark cloud has been lifted off Zinta and she has been promoted. I am certain it could be an FA in a few weeks and then you'll be rocking!! But all in your own time, you probably need a breather from it.

I've just been looking at whats been happening. Wow Sarvagnya's work has been tagged as copywrighted?? Wow the irony in that!! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 16:41, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OMG. Is this still about the film and the related article??? Does he think wikipedia is a forum for historical debate? You tell him Shahid, You tell him!! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 17:06, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not if they are just views and there isn't any concievable evidence to justify it. A historical accuracy section is very useful but it can be tricky writing it so it doesn't appear POV or disputable. Perhaps you could write it as "historians such as .... have argued that ... was never married to .... as depicted in the film although there is little evidence to confirm this". Something like that perhaps. I think you both mean to improve the article but I agree, this editor needs to be aware of all the points you brought up and to avoid looking too much into it and to write it from a neutral and balanced neutral viewpoint e.g "historians have speculated" rather than something was something. Hope this helps and good luck amigo! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 17:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC).[reply]

Glad you like it, see what I mean about those niggling little editors. I have a teenage wrestling fan on my case called Nimi something or other who according to him no admin on wikipedia thinks anything of me or my work and there isn;t an admin who wouldn't delete my efforts. He has repeatedly hounded my talk page the last half an hour ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 19:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm now being told by him how "articles should be" despite the fact I've got clearance from the arbitration committee to mass create the french articles -but he isn;t aware ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 20:01, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

EXACTLY!! Thats why he mentioned it to insult me - because he had seen the previous question and answer on the talk pages - i think he was not happy with me telling the other editor it doesn;t concern me in the slightest that a boy is tagging my articles for deletion as we all know what the outcome will be, so he retaliated. I could certainly use admin tools at times, but becoming an admin would put me out of focus on concentrating on adding content, which I feel is the most important and what this site is about -too many people get put off from this. I don't feel I need a badge to establish status and would rather feel freer, although it would certainly give these trespassers more respect for me initally. I've seen relatively new editors rush to make them get around 10,000 edits and rush to do some good chores and then have somebody to request them for adminship. I'm not mentioning any names, but I've seen a couple of admins promoted this way within a relatively short space of time. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 21:20, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Phew I think the French communes have all been started now for every department -36,000 articles with the exception of one department that somebody is working on!!! Its been some run and I;m glad several editors have been working at it, but now it is important a few editors combine to begin developing them from useless stubs. I remain optimistic that eventually they'll all develop fully, but they had to be started from somewhere, and raw power creating them was the best way to do it given the sheer content missing. I suffered for it though!! I created the box below to connect them all, now they need to begin development -fast!! We now have the whole country of France on english wikipedia, but they need serious development!! but better than missing completely. Check out the map France is a beast!!! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 22:46, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing buddy I'll have a look now. I'm just in the middle of sorting out a huge mess somebody created with the Armenian towns.

I watched some old 30s films like The Big Trail, The Lawless Frontier and Mutiny on the Bounty 1935, did some weights and some swimming down the leisure centre. I have also begun learning french, and have been looking through some of the dictionaries I have on that. Other than that I have been browsing through some of the cultural videos on youtube on various ethnic groups and countries around the world and music-fascinating. Sometime the Cardiff library will reopen and I will be able to get hold of some specialist books to write some good articles on wikipedia, related to the far east. The key to wikipedia is organization and research and there are so many books which have information on topics which are poorly covered on google (which people seem to delude themselves that google finds anything). I am certain there are some books on Bollywood that could be obtained to take some of our articles to the next level. This is the kind of research I think is so important than just web based research. I was discussing with Rahul yesterday that I'd like to see Amitabh's article taken to FA , I'd hope somebody could get hold of a book on him ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 15:38, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Something like The Encyclopedia of Hindi cinema ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 15:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC) It looks a great book doesn't it. The best thing I think to do is to search for something on Amazon.com -the best book seller on the web, write down a list of the best books you see and see if you can find them in the library. Often many of the books are very expensive so borrowing them is probably better. I know I've been looking for some books on Tibet and His Holiness the Dalai Lama but they are rather expensive. Other than this you can google search under books, and related books come up, some of them e-books. I started 1717 earthquake the other day from an e book I found on the History of Natural Disasters in El Salvador and could probably add another thousand like so from that book alone. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 15:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know I remember some guy fussing before that Joe Satriani wasn't a virtuoso guitar player because it is POV. I don't know what it is but I get very enthusiastic about directors such as Satyajit Ray, Sergio Leone, Kurosawa and Abbas Kiarostami because I see them as creative artists, their films as works of art, which as you know is central to me, I get all excited whenever I talk about auteurs like that. Did you know that everyone of my father's six brothers and sisters is a painter and a writer or both!! Four of them including my dad is a painter, and the rest writers. Jennifer Sullivan is three years older than my dad. ( my Aunty Josephine and Aunty Val are both). I didn't stand a chance did I of avoiding the creative world!!! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 16:07, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My god check out this. You can now install download a virtual earth from microsoft. Basically it is a satellite map which is now in 3D (this is what I have visualized for years but wasn't aware it existed yet. Anywhere on the planet you can zoom in and see places in 3d. Welcome to the 21st century. This is why I do so much work on geo articles as I;m certain soon enough wikipedia will have 3d maps of places and people can browse towns and cities through the streets, select a building and the article in cities like NYC and Singapore etc. Amazing isn't it. It only takes about 10-15 minutes to install. I'm sure soon enough this can be done for wikipedia and we can view articles on towns and monuments, bridges, rivers etc and see them in 3d on a map.

"There is a growing number of films made entirely in English." sounds much clearer I think.

Thankyou. I just don't know why people have to be so rude and awkward.

They just won't learn that any articles I have created are always kept and that they are wasting their time trying to get in the way.

I've semi-acquired the rights of a journalist's personal photos, who has taken pictures with mainly North Indian (and some Southies). This person is awesome and has been shopping out with Aishwarya Rai for shoes at Marks and Spencer in 1999. Wow! Universal Hero (talk) 22:52, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kareena Kapoor

Hey buddy, I didn't say that she was ranked third for three consecutive years. I indicated that Kapoor ranked fourth on Filmfare's "Top Actresses" list for three consecutive years (2003-05) whilst she later ranked sixth and third in 06 and 07 respectively. I will try to find references for that as soon as I can. As for this setence "Top Bollywood Female Stars" have also varied over the past four years, with the most notable one being third in 2004 and 2007 respectively" Do you suggest there is another way to rephrase it. The reason I didn't include all the year rankings was the same reason as Preity Zinta's article. I included the rankings for 04, 06, and 07. I just didn't include the one from 05. I wish stacked refs [1] were allowed instead of having [1][2][3] and so on. Maybe something like this. "In addition to the Filmfare rankings, Kapoor's position on the list of Rediff's "Top Bollywood Female Stars" have ranged from the seventh to the third position over the past four years.[1][2][3][4]" I don't know!! Can you think of another way?? --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 02:35, 5 March 2008

P.S. Is it okay if we use scans from magazines to indicate the Filmfare rankings?? --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 02:37, 5 March 2008

Hey buddy, I've been really busy with university and I haven't even seen any of the new movies that released in 2008. I don't think there are any good movies so far. LOL ;). I haven't seen Jodhaa-Akbar but I want to see it. Many people say it is really good. Have you seen it?? As for the sentence on Kapoor's page, does this sound good to you: "In addition to the yearly Filmfare rankings, Kapoor ranked third on the list of Rediff's 'Top Bollywood Female Stars' in 2007.[1] She previously ranked third, seventh and fifth from 2004-06 respectively.[2][3][4]." Maybe something along these lines could be added to the article. What do you say? So what is new with you these days? I see that you are not editing much these days as well. --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 01:42, 6 March 2008

Well, I plan to watch it by this week or when I have time. LOL. Wow, Melbourne sounds really beautiful. Did you know that Kareena Kapoor and Salman Khan will be filming their film Main Aur Mrs. Khanna over there?? Anyways, it is currently winter right now here in Toronto. This year, winter was the worst. It has been so cold. You are so lucky to be in such a beautiful, warm place. Enjoy the outdoors!!! LOL. :) BTW, are you looking forward to watch Race? It looks pretty interesting!! Another thing... did you save the Kambakth Ishq page before it was deleted? I didn't!! --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 01:48, 7 March 2008

I definitely plan to watch JA. Don't worry!! LOL. I have been living in Toronto for 10 years. It is a beautiful city in the summer but in the winter, it is bitterly cold. :0 Why do you think that Har Pall won't release on the indicated indiaFM date? Anyways, what other forthcoming movies are you looking forward to watch to this year?? --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 02:45, 8 March 2008

I will only be able to watch the new 2008 movies beginning April. My university is done by the end of this month and I am pretty happy that it is going to get over soon. LOL. :) I was thinking that once my University is over, we should both collaborate with Blofeld and work on the "top" Bollywood actors/actresses page. What do you say? Are you up for it? --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 20:18, 8 March 2008

LOL Shahid, you misunderstood me. LOL. I wasn't indicating that we create a page known as the "Top Bollywood Actors/Actresses". No way in hell. LOL. We are not qualified enough to make such a list and as you said, many people will have different opinions. I was asking you if whether or not you first wanted to work together in improving the pages of [top] Bollywood actors/actresses' pages, such as Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and etc, and making them into a GA. If not a GA, at least improving the pages from what they currently look like. From there, we can go an improve the pages of other Bollywood actors' pages. Like that, [with me, you, and Blofeld] most of the Bollywood articles would improve a lot. That was what I was asking you. Not the other thing. LOL. So what do you say?? Are you up for it?? --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 02:56, 9 March 2008

Shahid, did you save the Kambakth Ishq page before it was deleted? I didn't!! --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 16:27, 11 March 2008

LOL... Shahid.. Now this will be very interesting. It looks like the top two Khan's along with two leading ladies of Bollywood will be facing each other. (Shahrukh Khan & Preity Zinta vs. Aamir Khan & Kareena Kapoor) BTW, what is all this?? Since I am not a cricket fan, I don't get all this. LOL. --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 01:49, 12 March 2008

Shahid, I know that you saved the page for Kambakth Ishq but did you save the page for Main Aur Mrs. Khanna? --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 17:00, 19 March 2008

Could you be so kind to ask them to do so?? I don't want to edit everything again. Plus another use created the page again, which was deleted by User:Girolamo Savonarola. Thanks and regards. --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 17:09, 19 March 2008

Hey Shahid, it's okay. You don't have to ask an administrator to restore it. I have nothing to do right now so I will start cleaning up the article. LOL, I know. I don't know why but these things can't be consistent. LOL. --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 18:01, 19 March 2008

The film just began filming today that's why I expanded the article. If it didn't begin filming yet, I wouldn't have done so. --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 20:13, 19 March 2008

I notice you deleted an edit on Bollywood that claimed popularity in Peru. A google search on "Bollywood Peru" gives over 6000 hits so it would seem to be a significant phenomenon. I have replaced a wikified version of the original edit. Fanx (talk) 21:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

At first glance, hindisong.com does not sound to be reliable! However, the thing that is used from that site is an interview with Sen. The reliability of the source often is weighed on the context.

Hi. You removed the pic Image:SRK in Don - The Chase Begins Again.jpg on this page saying that it is a copyvio.. The image page says "The copyright holder of this file allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that the copyright holder is properly attributed." So, can't we use this on the SRK page.

The tag you placed on the image page is OK. You can also see WP:CSD, which is a criteria for speedy deletion, and has numerous tags for such cases. The most proper tag for this particular image would be {{Db-imgcopyvio}}. Shahid • ^Talk2me 20:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was a programme on BBC 2 the other night which was devoted to Indian culture It started about 8.00 and finished at 4 am . I watched a good deal of it. There was everything on music, poetry etc and inspiring young people and also there were young Indian actors auditioning for parts watched by Johnny Lever and several other actors.

The filming locations for Tashan looks interesting. As you know I very much love Ladakh and northern India and related culture because it is very similar and often overlapping with Tibet. A year in Indian film is a huge amount of a wait isn't it. It should be interesting to see Zinta in those demanding art film roles though. She's such a beautiful woman she could carry any look off I;m sure. Perhaps its time the article tried once more for the top spot? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 21:13, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

well first release or first appearance in 2009 doesn't seem much difference to me. Nothing implies that she has suddenly become a director. I don't know why anybody picked holes in that. Yes I've had the impression Zinta is pretty smart and business wise for some time -perhaps she could help me set something up to get rich perhaps? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 21:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well thats the superpower of these Bollywood stars ; they are magnets to investors and commercial enterprises and being associated with a name like that brings in the dough.

You told Blofeld Emma Watson isn't comprehensive

So do you know major content and sources missing from the article? Ultra! 15:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not very familiar with the topic, and I did not literally mean "not comprehensive", but that the article is not really a complete FA worthy (for several reasons). Also considering the existence of better articles than this one, which deserve to be promoted to FA status, but are not. But it's only my opinion. It doesn't matter, it's a long story. I hope you are not offended. Are you one of the main contributors of this article? Regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:30, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Shahid and Vikrant. I believe Vikrant, Shahid is referring to the amount of detail in the article which is my view is too short to be an FA. Of course it is well referenced and fairly well written it's just for me the content isn't there and detailed enough for that I would consider the material for an FA either but that also is my view.

Yes I've been up the Brecon Beacons today -plenty of fresh air! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 19:05, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it was great -its merging into spring here and getting warmer and getting gradually lighter in evneings -always a sign summer is coming! I've allocated some time to Italian cinema today -I get dizzy headache when I see the red links and missing films in the filmographies. Literally 99.5% of all articles are missing. I wonder what it would take to get them all onto here and all of them written into GA class articles. 500 years? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 21:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was kidding lol, it would take centuries to do that lol! But I can certainly try to fill in the picture a bit when I have got some time. I reckon in terms of decent content or potential articles that could be written into beuatiful articles if enough sources were found and sheer amount of missing films and cinema characters has to be France and Italy. Right from the early twentieth century there are truckloads of missing articles. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 21:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately there are only a handful of editors who have developed Italian film on here and I don't know what has happneed to them these days. Rohmerin rarely edits anymore I don't think, and my old amico User:Attilios the Italian who also shares my love of Italian architecture and art I haven't spoken to him in ages. Which is frankly not good enough given the world reach of wikipedia. But as you said before most normal editors only edit the films they have seen and most of the people likely to have seen these films are Italian and work on Italian wikipedia. I;m different in that I want to increase my knowledge of films beyond my knowledge and expand on what I have seen and in more detail. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 21:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!!! friend!! How are you? I've had quite a few days of editing!! I'm feeling a bit lazier today ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 13:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. I wonder how many articles we now have in total on Indian cinema -including all films, actors, directors, playback singers, choreographers etc. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 13:34, 20 March 2008 (UTC) Thats good but the proportion of higher class articles is rather low. For the whole project 2000 FAs out of 2.3 million is pathetic. But its not surprising considering the high number of very good articles "objected" ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 13:52, 20 March 2008 (UTC) Prime example look at Emma Watson FA and now check out Topkapı Palace a measly B class!!!

Yes you are a Jewish family then? I wasn't sure if you were Hindu - what is it then your father is Israeli and your mother Indian, is this correct? My grandfather and two of my aunties look very much like they are from Israel, you can see the Jewish in my dad also, he had black hair when he was younger (now grey) but has blue eyes (and a typical middle eastern moustache too lol). ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 17:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes his middle name was Reuben and he looked exactly like a rabbi lol (as an old man)!!! Almost sterotypically so. He died 15 years ago but nobody seems to know much about the Jewish side of the family unfortunately. From what my dad told me he thinks it was my great great grandfather who emigrated to France from the eastern europe/middle east and married a Hugeunot French woman. They later moved to London. The french and jewish ancestry is quite clear on my dad's side of the family - incidentally his middle name is Deland which is obviously French and an extremely rare name in the UK.

On my mums side I have Swedish and Scottish ancestry, this is also obvious with how I look anyway. On her side most of the people are tall with fairer hair and skin and blue eyes. It is indeed very interesting tracing your family. I've seen some British celebrities like Carol Vorderman on the TV trace their roots back generations and it is quite fascinating ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 18:02, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship

I tell you what I'm getting sick and tired of not having admin tools. Its ridiculous that I don't have them. Some of my flickr images I uploaded now have been tagged for deletion in the commons, Riana is now doing little to help because she is always busy, and i tag my own articles for deletion it is days before somebody sees that I might have some idea of whether the places exists and eventually deletes it. If I had admin tools I could do thing a LOT LOT more quickly and effciently. Its doing my head in not having the ability to do certian things when I clearly am more active than most of the admins on here ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 14:44, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh its not vandalism I am concerned about in this respect -I have roll back which is the only tool I have. Its trusting me to sort out articles and to make flickr agreements. Imagine how many agreements i could quickly make if they just let me contact people at flickr and authorise clearance. I sick of waiting weeks and not getting a reply from the commons and then getting a message from some commons editor who only logs into the project once a week that my images have not got the ticketing, when I could have it OTRS ticketed the minute I receive permission. It is seriously inhibiting how productive I am particularly with images. I have done tens times more than many admins on here to coordinate this project and I find it a bit silly that they can't give me the authorisation to do things which will be very beneficial to this project ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 15:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't mind becoming an admin if I was allowed to continue as I have been before and not feel under any obligation to patrol vandalism or recent changes or continuously attend wiki councils or whatever. If I just had the tools and could continue editing on what I feel is important -actual content and occasionally intervene or whatever where I need to this would be best. But something tells me all those niggling editors who I have run into in the past would oppose it and find several examples of where I have been in their eyes "uncivil" and I'd end up looking foolish. The Sravagnya brigade for one would oppose straight away. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 15:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I'm sure most people would support, some probably even strongly but all I ask for is the ability for people to trust my judgement with deletions and images with flickr. I don't know if you have noticed but in the new pages because I am not an admin my new articles have to be checked like a beginner whereas admins some with 1/15th of my edits have their articles automatically patolled as if they were a superior creature!!! I'll see what John thinks when he returns after the Easter break and whether somebody could think about giving me one or two tools extra ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 15:37, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps but I don't want to get bogged down with wiki councils and well... administration. I'm not here to administer people, I'm here to enhance this freakishly large site beyond belief and build something never seen before. I would be last person who could careless about "abusing" his admin rights to block enemies etc, so if they just gave me the tools it can only help. Personally I think the fact I've created almost double the content than anybody in the history of wikipedia (and 134,000 edits) should account for something ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 15:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well the work i do on wikipedia - stubbing en masse, recategorization, tagging, template adding etc, with geo, film and cultural articles maximizes my edit count probably more than any other subject on wikipedia so its just a figure. If only edit count equates to pounds or dollars!!!! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦^$1,000,000? 15:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User page

I've been reading over your user page and I find some of the commentary on Indian cinema interesting. A lot of it I agree with: Manisha is a great actress especially in those more sullen less glamorous roles (Bombay, Dil Se) although her skill even kept me watching Market and Escape From Taliban *shudders*. But really you like Karisma and Preity? Preity was fine in Dil Se because she was sort of an annoying foil to Manisha. She was better in Kal Ho Naa Ho... maybe because she wasn't right next to Manisha which will obviously make her look bad :) I'll have to watch Fiza.

And I just noticed you listed me on your page :O That's nice... but, I'm not a good editor. Best work I did was the grunt work of film infoboxes. Zora on the other hand... she was a great editor and it's sad that she completely left... :/

I hope you're doing well, gren グレン 20:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Placeholder

I've noticed on certain articles that the placeholder image seems to encourage uploading fair use images, which then have to be deleted as copyright violations. ALL articles can use images, so you don't really need a placeholder as a "request". Gimmetrow 14:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
