As you are an established contributor I was surprised at your comment diff. Re-adding unsourced personal information in this way would normally lead to warnings for non-regulars.

Re:language scripts
Dear Shahid, I am still convinced that both Devanagari and Nastaliq scripts have a place in the article in light of my comments here. Since the two of us are very hidebound in our respective positions, I feel the best idea is to have a group of neutral administrators evaluate the issue and then draw a conclusion on it. I hope this helps. Thanks, AnupamTalk 04:56, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

New message
Hey Shahid, remember how we wanted to start a discussion about adding other "notable" awards to an actor's filmography. Well, after thinking about this, I thought that this wouldn't be a good idea because it would increase the size of the article (I noticed this when I was working on Kapoor's article in my sandbox). Finally, I came up with this template as it would allow us to format an actor's wins/nominations in a proper and structured way. This is what you end up with. I am thinking of implementing this layout on other actors' award pages as well. What do you think? --  Bollywood Dreamz  talk 19:33, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I have formatted the awards page according to how it appears on List of awards and nominations received by Alicia Keys - that was my main motivation in creating a template for actors as well. Plus it doesn't really hurt to have a "brief" introduction about the award ceremony especially for those who don't have an article of their own. --  Bollywood Dreamz  talk 16:38, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Happy Christmas Shahid and Rahul!♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:59, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

 * That's what I did. Do you see any mistakes? --  Bollywood Dreamz  talk 20:09, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * What about the "critics" awards from Filmfare, Stardust, etc? Those awards don't have nominations. Would we have to include them as nominations as well? --  Bollywood Dreamz  talk 22:03, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Shahid it looks like all of the "Indiatimes" links are not working anymore and this problem has been occuring for a long time. At first I thought it was just a temporary thing but this isn't the case. :( This brings me to the question I wanted to ask you: Kapoor's article currently features a review of Chameli from Indiatimes (Subhash K Jha). Since the link doesn't work anymore, I was able to find the same review on "Glamsham.com". Do you think it would be okay if I changed it to that? --  Bollywood Dreamz  talk 19:23, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Please go to the talk page for Udita Goswami ASAP. I edited the article with a valid source (a real interview) and a certain person keeps changing the article to his edit with unreliable sources. It's becoming really pathetic. AyanP (talk) 21:32, 4 January 2011 (UTC)Ayan

Dear Shahid! That certain person happens to be me. Do be kind enough to check the talk page for Udita Goswami  as well as the talk page for AyanP. You are sure to notice the personal attacks that he has made on me with phrases like 'fool' and 'stop pushing your agenda' in addition to mocking my home state. I am glad the guy called for your intervention, I wish to do the same and would very much wish that you intervene.

Clint Eastwood
Hey buddy. This is currently going under GA review. I've condensed it down from 157kb to 86kb!! The GA reviwer said it must be below 60. I disagreed as if it is cut much below 80kb it will start to affect its comprehensiveness. Nehrams is going to do a little further cutting and imporvements later, it could still do with some copyediting. Zinta is currently 73kb so to expect Clint Eastwood who has been in films since 1954 to have an article below 60kb is a little extreme I think..♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:46, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

I know, and Changeling is 121 kb and a featured article, so an article on Clint's career at 80kb is quite good I think. Well,we'll see how it goes...♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:56, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

And still Tony's grilling goes on and on. It really makes you think twice about bothering with GAs. This is easily the most fussy GA review I've ever encountered and I have over 60 of them. He expects it to be perfect and in all honesty don't think he has much experience with GA review, he's treating it virtually as an FAC. Wow google image Sarah Shahi....♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:27, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Most of his comments have been valid. But the article has near 300 references and it is way more comprehensive than most GA candidates.♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:35, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Has Yellow Monkey retired? They hounded him and voted to remove his photo polls onto a sub page it seems and he has not returned since. He isn't answering his emails. What happened? Surely he is thicker skinned than that?? ♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:00, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

socks
Hi there. This is the second time in a month that you have marked someone that was asking me for help as a sock. First User:Taribhen and then suspected User:Rapidfire1. How do you know, how do you prove it, and how do they get blocked? What else are you working on these days? I am trying to moderate a couple of warring editors on Mallika Sherawat, but not having a great deal of success. Some people just refuse to compromise. Also, Sholay is sitting in the GA queue waiting for a reviewer to pick it up. BollyJeff ||  talk  02:28, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. If you get a minute, could you throw in your opinion on Mallika Sherawat? They say they want more editors to weigh in, but it may just be a stalling tactic. I think they just want to wear each other down. BollyJeff  ||  talk  14:39, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. BTW, the recent edit to Bollywood does not seem right to me. I am thinking the source meant Cinema of India as a whole. Bollywood alone does not make over 500 films a year. Cinema of India articles says it was 235 in 2009. BollyJeff  ||  talk  17:59, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

What is your view on
this? --  Bollywood Dreamz  talk 17:41, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Over the past several years, I have noticed that an actor's win depends on the film's performance at the box office rather than his/her work in the film. If you were to take a look at the winners of mostly all the Indian award ceremonies, you would know what I'm talking about. This would explain how Shernaz Patel's performance in Guzaarish was completely overlooked and I do agree that she deserved the award. Frankly speaking, I thought Hrithik deserved the award over SRK. As for the Best Actress award, I have not seen Ishqiya & BBB (maybe if I saw them I would change my mind but out of the other 3 nominees I do think that Kajol deserved the award). Bebo's character in G3 is similar to that of JWM so if you liked her performance there, you would like her performance in G3 as well. --  Bollywood Dreamz  talk 19:41, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Shahrukh Khan or Shah Rukh Khan?
Hi. What proof do you have that his name is 2 words instead of 3? Why not add some text with a source that explains why there is the discrepancy? Otherwise you will have to keep fighting this battle. You can't just says "it is so" without some proof. BollyJeff ||  talk  16:25, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand what you are saying about the burden, but the issue is not old to the new people that go on WP every day. A little prose explaining the situation would go a long way I think. How can it be that the spelling of the name of possibly the world's biggest star is not clear? BollyJeff  ||  talk  17:05, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I do not agree with the other guy about the text. It was bad the way he wrote it. I know that there are lots of movies, books, etc. that have it either way. All I would like to see is the same thing that you usually ask for in articles: a RELIABLE SOURCE saying that his original name is Shahrukh, and maybe why it got morphed to Shah Rukh. If that exists, please add it. Didn't it come up in the discussion that you refer to? Can you point me to that?  BollyJeff  ||  talk  17:41, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Funny but it seems the average South Indian film article is better quality than the average Hindi film article these days, at least the older ones anyway... E.g Aarilirunthu Arubathu Varai vs Aap Beati...♦ Dr. Blofeld  22:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

2000s Bollywood films are far better agreed. But pre 1990 Bollywood film articles on here are as bad as some of the Malayalam/south indian cinema articles we have on here. Sadly practically nobody seems interested in older Hindi films. I would love to see some GA articles on Nargis films etc... ♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:50, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Excellent. Yes its sad that we can't access decent info about some of the older films. We really ought to have more Bollywood GAs. Maybe info on some films does exist in biographies of Nargis etc. Info like this. Oooohhh check out this... . ♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:31, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Of course! But I am attempting to compile material to develop Mother India into a GA class article, I've begun developing a themes section. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:22, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I noticed the copyvio notice and the deleted article in the template. It seems absurd to be that figures can be copyrightable. But the argument is "they are not actual figures but estimates". Its a bit extreme, but then Moonriddengirl is very strict in regards to possible copyvios.. I will try to get Mother India up to a GA standard although production notes I doubt I will be able to access. Mughal-e-Azam also intrigues me, you like it?♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah that can go in the themes section for critical commentary... Its getting there. I think it could make GA without production notes as they don't appear to exist. We'll see after a few days of work on it.♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:25, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Can you add a plot summary in a sentence or two to the intro of Mother India, just to cover what its about?♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:13, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

That's fine. Mmm I did like the new poster as it really looks more like a 1950s classic film. OK no images and that later pink poster then it is..♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:14, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

After a copyedit I think Mother India is ready for GA.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:18, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Tell you who I like at the moment. Emily Blunt. Exactly my type, dark hair and blue eyes, classy, and a good sense of humour. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLNs69VezjI&feature=related.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:21, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

She's not "super hot" looking or anything but she's still gorgeous in my opinion. But it is her looks combined with her intelligence and personality which is exactly my type. Many "super hot women" lack qualities in the brain and personality department anyway!♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:05, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Mmm Ana Vidovic or Emily Blunt....♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Colin Firth Best Actor, no surprise there.. Natalie Portman Best actress. She's very beautiful don't you think. Where did she get her looks?? Have you noticed how quite a lot of very average looking parents produce stunning looking children? Have you see Halle Berry's mother for instance? ♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:16, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Here No, I wouldn't describe her as good looking. But then I think her extremely short hair and glasses don't help. She's OK, but pretty average looking if you consider how stunning Halle is. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:33, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
