Talk:Farhan Akhtar

GA issues
I see that some new user nominated this article for GA, when quite a few problems still persist. I shall hold the status of a major contributor, hence I wish to highlight the points which need to be addressed before GAC :


 * citation tags need to be fixed.


 * Prose is monotonous. Copy-edit is required.


 * The last few paras in his "Career" need to be expanded.


 * The accolades section must be completely sourced.


 * Lead needs to be re-written to cover everything.


 * The currencies need to be uniformly templated.


 * File:Team Don2.jpg does not cover the subject of the article clearly, and should be removed or replaced with a better image.

As long as these are fixed, I would consider the article ready, but otherwise, I don't see it holding any chance of passing. Secret of success 06:44, 3 April 2012 (UTC)


 * The user also nominated Shaktimaan. Seeing that, i flew faster than him from my seat . §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 07:51, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you the suggestions you gave. However, I have not made any significant edits to this page, I just happened to visit it and thought it complies with good article guidelines. So I nominated it. However, right now it would not be possible for me to make the edits you suggested for some personal reasons. I hope that some other editor would complete the required development. As of being new user, I am not a new user, my account is a few years old. However, I have started editing more actively only since last few months, and thus I have less experience. Thus, even though I have tried to understand main Wiki policies, I might make mistakes. Mr Kulkarni, I think you are the one who created the "welcome post" on my talk page, so you know about my history on Wikipedia. I left that nomination for more experienced editors or administrators to decide. Abhinavdhere (talk) 13:46, 3 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Well...its okay to nominate some article and not take up the changes yourself. Usually some or the other editor is enthusiastic about it. But i doubt that will happen with these articles. We currently also have a few GA nominees waiting for reviewer. Anyways... SOS, does anyone have to review these articles now or just close it as failed? Akhtar is much better. But Shaktimaan i guess is lacking lotsa stuff in content itself. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 14:07, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Very well, I am under the impression that the nominator did not do it on purpose (unlike many of the editors who do so). I'll try addressing the issues myself, as long as I can do it. Secret of success  14:46, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I have patched up some of the issues. A bit more of it, and I would call the article ready. Secret of success  14:06, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't see it being ready for a GA status if these issues aren't fixed. There are more that need to be fixed. Will continue later with this.--Meryam90 (talk) 13:19, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comments:
 * The career section needs to be divided and not a plain loooong text.
 * Awards and honors section shouldn't have been removed even if it was mentioned in his Filmography table.
 * The Filmography itself needs to be merged. Maybe using a table like the one in Karan Johar or Mani Ratnam
 * Le lead needs to be expended because it doesn't have much coverage on the article's content.
 * "Currently married to Adhuna Akhtar, he has two children named Shakya and Akira." Date of marriage? That's necessary.
 * There is consistent use of Unreliable sources i.e: daily.bhaskar, austinchronicle.com ect
 * The same old issue of inconsistency in citations. for Date, AccessDate and Author/Publisher.

I should also point out that since Mr:SOS is the main contributer in this article, he can not review it for a GA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meryam90 (talk • contribs) 1:20 pm, 16 April 2012‎
 * Where in the world did I say that I would review this, huh? Secret of success  07:27, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: The above "comments" by User:Meryam90 have been clarified through this. Thanks. Secret of success  ( talk )  07:24, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Difference
Looking at the difference between the article before myself along with a couple of other editors started working on it, and of now, it is clear that a great deal of time and effort have been put up to improve it. Glad to see that all this is happening. Secret of success ( talk )  14:44, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
