Good observation, but no. Pure coincidence? —AE ( talk  •  contributions ) 08:12, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey. I hope you didn't mind. I had suspicions but I'm glad that a CU cleared that up. Sometimes I know that what I'm about to do is wrong, but I do it anyway, yielding to the irresistible impulse of the moment. That was one such moment, and I now wish I hadn't filed it. MBlaze Lightning  05:30, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
 * don't blame yourself, Mbla. You're not wrong for filing it. Being bold is important and it helps to keep the crooks away. Flooded  with them hundreds  17:23, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Greer Garson
Re:Greer Garson. I’m new to this, I saw Greer Garson on an episode of Father Knows Best called Kathy’s big chance. Greer played herself in the episode. I looked up the cast on IMDb, she was listed as playing herself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kimmypresley (talk • contribs) 14:12, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. IMDb is not considered a reliable source here, as it is user-generated without any editorial oversight. So if you want to add that information to the aforementioned article, then your best bet is to find a reliable source for it. If you need guidance on referencing, see Help:Referencing for beginners. Hope this helps. MBlaze Lightning  14:12, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Read the latter part of this | debate looking forward to your help to achieve the consensus.

Thanks! Onkuchia  (talk)  20:34, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello, . Sorry, I don't think I could be of much help; and, besides, I've no time to spare for it. I've got my hands full at present. If you think that the dispute, notwithstanding your efforts, has reached an impasse, then why don't you make use of the various dispute resolution mechanisms available on Wikipedia? Look over Dispute resolution. Just a word to the wise. MBlaze Lightning  06:38, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

He is born in Mumbai. I am his mother. Yet you deleted the corrections. The information is quite outdated, incomplete and wrong at places. I would like to personally get in touch and help improve it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ujjwalaharshavardhan (talk • contribs) 14:43, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry for not getting back to you, I hadn't noticed your message on my talk page before. Cutting to the chase: You made a number of changes to the Aniruddha Jatkar article, but you didn't provide a reliable source, thus running afoul of our verifiability policy, which requires that all information must be verifiable to reliable, published sources, and that is the reason why your changes were removed. Also, please note that the subject in question is a living person, and therefore, you are required to adhere to our policy on biographies of living persons; to be specific, you must cite a reliable source when you are adding date of birth, or for that matter any other personal information to the article. If you want information on what is considered a reliable source, you'd do well to read up on Identifying reliable sources. In addition to the above, because you are his mother, you are also required to adhere to our policy on conflict of interest; you must avoid editing the article yourself, but rather feel free to request changes on its talk page, and provide reliable sources if appropriate. If you need guidance on referencing, see Help:Referencing for beginners. I hope this helps you. MBlaze Lightning  09:54, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

AfroCine: The Months of African Cinema Continues….
Greetings!

Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.

It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!

We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!


 * Article suggestions can be found here. You can also add to this list.
 * Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found here. Again, this list needs expansion.
 * Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the Occupation Drive, which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
 * Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the Article Achievements section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.

Thank you once again for being part of this global event!

Kind regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 22:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
