Shah Rukh Khan

 * ... that Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan (pictured) was described as "the world's biggest movie star" by the Los Angeles Times?
 * Reviewed: Not a self-nomination

Improved to Good Article status by Bollyjeff (talk). Nominated by Oceanh (talk) at 10:50, 8 August 2014 (UTC).


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Gtg, no copyvio, long and newly improved to ga, no paraphrase instances and original research. -PAPAJECKLOY (hearthrob! kiss me! &#60;3) (talk) 16:08, 9 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Oh for crying out loud. What the LA Times said is
 * He is the biggest movie star you’ve never heard of. And perhaps the world’s biggest movie star, period. In a country of 1.2 billion where movies are a way of life, Khan delights fans with romance, comedy and action, sometimes all in the same movie. (This is Bollywood, after all.)
 * That's not at all the same thing. EEng (talk) 22:00, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

What about this alt hook, Oceanh (talk) 18:29, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT1... that Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan (pictured) was described as "the biggest movie star you've never heard of" by the Los Angeles Times?
 * Fine with me. EEng (talk) 19:37, 16 August 2014 (UTC)`


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg New reviewer needed to check ALT1. (Please recheck neutrality and close paraphrasing as well.) Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:45, 12 August 2014 (UTC)


 * ALT1 ends with ".. of. And perhaps the world's biggest movie star, period". Same meaning, so Symbol confirmed.svg.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 13:43, 2 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg While I appreciate the ALT1 review, this was one of PapaJeckloy's reviews originally, and he's just been blocked indefinitely for subverting a great many DYK processes, including approving his own nominations as a sock and promoting them to prep as well. As such we need a fresh, complete review of this nomination, with apologies to Oceanh and Bollyjeff for further delays—we can't trust anything PapaJeckloy has done, unfortunately.

Alt1 is fine. No obvious signs of copyvio/close paraphrasing and GA review was thorough, recent enough, hook is correctly quoted and sourced to the LA Times. Good to go. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  22:14, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
