Anirudh Gangavaram, good luck, and have fun. Hoary (talk) 10:04, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

"small grammatical errors"?
You are making a number of changes: according to your edit summaries, fixing "small grammatical errors".

Here is an example. You make five changes. I see no correction to any grammatical error.

The only change you've made more than once within this edit is from "debuted" to "made her debut", so let's consider that. What's wrong (let alone grammatically wrong) with the intransitive verb "debut"? (Merriam-Webster says: "to make a first appearance or a formal entrance into society : to make a debut". Oxford Dictionaries says both for British English and for US English "Perform in public for the first time".)

What do you mean by "grammatical error"?

There is one arguable (but grammar-irrelevant) improvement: you've changed "blockbuster" to "Malayalam blockbuster film". Though since this is a "Malayalam film actress", we can infer that this is Malayalam, and your retention of the silly marketing term "blockbuster" is puzzling. -- Hoary (talk) 00:27, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the information. Will make proper edits from next time and provide proper edit summaries. And I was under the impression that debut is not a verb based on the English usage in India. Thanks!


 * Now you've got me interested! How about these:
 * "She debuted in Bengali films with Shotru." (source)
 * "For the Sri Lankan contingent of the South Asian Symphony Orchestra (SASO), which debuted in Mumbai on Friday, the last few days have been a rather rough ride." (source)
 * "Tripathi debuted in the TV industry a decade ago with Disney’s Kya Mast Hai Life as the chirpy Zenia Khan." source)

Thank you so much for this information. Never knew that debut could be used as a verb. Will keep this in my mind. Also thanks for telling me about the resources. Will check everything out! :) --Anirudh Gangavaram (talk) 11:48, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
