Misplaced Pages

Lost in translation?

Something like, I shouldn't wonder.

I've been looking to my own for the present, though - there are a surprising number of Virginia communities missing articles, and I've been working on improving some coverage in that arena. Did most of the ones for Madison County, Virginia yesterday - I want to clean up Accomack County, Virginia today. --User:AlbertHerring 13:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

In a way, it doesn't surprise me - a lot of those little towns have almost no coverage online. The only reason I know about Banco and Criglersville, for instance, is that I've actually been through both on the way to Syria. Otherwise they're rather uneventful places, even if in a gorgeous location. --User:AlbertHerring 14:11, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages is Good, Elite is not

Misplaced Pages to date is a great project and i am proud i once collaborated in this wonderful project that is changing life of people. Unfortunatley it is fallen in the hands of corrupt management like you. Strategically preventing third world countries from joining wiki events, denying them scholarships. If you are that much of a wiki lover and third world friend, ask you archbishop jimmy wales if he got emails by me or not. You maybe be smart but your bigotry won't hide for long. Its like aid to africa that never reach there. You spoiled eggs are giving wikipedia a bad name. Leave this noble cause alone losers.

Hey!

Did not see unfortunately... Oh I'm so busy... Is my absence noticeable? Ha! Shahid • 16:43, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeh but that's the idea of our project, contribution. It's a good way to spend your time, it's a good experience to learning. Fortunately it's not our source of livelihood LOL:) Shahid • 19:23, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it is sufficient for survival... Do you? What is the maximum total you can earn from it? Shahid • 12:22, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey Blof I took some time to expand a paragraph in Zinta's article.

"Depicting the contemporary routine life of Indian affluent youth, it is set in modern-day urban Mumbai and focuses on a major period of transition in the lives of three young friends. Zinta starred as Aamir Khan's love interest, Shalini. According to critics, the film broke new ground by showing Indian youth as they are today. Despite the critical reception, it was a moderate box office success; it performed well in the urban areas of the country and failed in the rural areas, which was attributed by critics to the city-oriented lifestyle depicted in the movie."

Please tell me, how does it sound? Shahid • 15:19, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh I myself got confused now because I was wondering if words like only can be used. And now I'm torn between both sides. I think I shouldn't have started it, but anyway, thank you -- I'll try to find more sources. Shahid • 15:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

According to you modern-day and contemporary mean the same? Shahid • 15:51, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Do you think dropping Mumbai would be OK? The story itself does not take place in Mumbai only but in different cities in India, as well as Australia!! ;) Shahid • 16:00, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

OHHH MYYY GODDD!!! You are not the first one to call me perfectionist!!!! Many call me like that, and I'm surprised that you identify that in me... Ohhh well..... So you say it's not a big deal if I remove Mumbai???? (sorry for badgering you... you know me LOL) Shahid • 16:10, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Sorry - me again - you say - "It performed well in Indian cities but failed in the rural areas" - it's obviously Indian cities, what do you think about replacing Indian with big? Shahid • 17:20, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey that's great, I'll have a look.

Now last time, so what do you think about: "a moderate box office success in India; it performed well in big cities but failed in the rural areas"? Shahid • 17:27, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Well that was the problem - it performed well in big cities but flopped in interiors. Shahid • 17:35, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much Mister Blofblofblof.... ;) and thank for developing the lists. Shahid • 17:41, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey I think awards are not that of a big deal. Take 1975, Deewar won the Filmfare Best Film Award and Sholay lost. Not only did Sholay lost - it won only one Filmfare award for best Screenplay, which is a joke. For other uses, we have the list of Top Bollywood films which is fine by me, but if a summary is that needed, I think a list of 5-6 top grossing films is good. I would love to do it, but I'm extremely busy. I only come at times to revert vandalism, and yesterday I had some time to work, but my time is limited and certainly won't let me stay for so long (unfortunately)... Regards, Shahid • 12:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Boxofficeindia should be fine. Shahid • 12:25, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Nett Gross always. Don't think it's needed though - the gross can be somehow different in different sites, but the ranking is almost equal always, mentioning 5-6 top grossing is perfectly fine - you can also use List of Top Bolly Films. Though I loved the you did it here, it takes a lot of work buddy... Shahid • 12:34, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey they seem to have updated the numbers also of the past yrs. It onnly proves how reliable they are. Hey have I told you that one of them had sent me a mail????? Shahid • 12:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Amazing work Blof - one requent though. Please do not remove the Indian from film leads when you link the years, because it's very important. Again, thank you for your great contributuion. Shahid • 23:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Shania

Nope, didn't see her I'm afraid! Just back from Switzerland and London this afternoon and well relaxed from the Alpine hiking. I was mostly in the Canton of Berne and northern Valais. Unfortunately I lost my camera at the Jungfraujoch so I'm afraid I can't add upload any photos to Commons, but most of central Switzerland seems to be fairly well covered with images anyway. I'll see about expanding a few more Malawian village articles, and getting some more Burkina done as well. Regards, EJF (talk) 17:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

thanks!

Thank you for creating Orgun. Cheers, Kingturtle (talk) 19:24, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok, so what format?

Hi Blofeld - this is a very quick message. I'm still getting internet sorted at my house, so I'm abusing my work internet privileges to knock this message out to you. I can't run the bot until I get the internet back - in the initial list creation, what format would you like the lists in? Full blown table with map? Or just like the original lists? I've had some good ideas for the lists, so I'm eager to get started, but I have to wait until the telephone company get me connected! Fritzpoll (talk) 10:21, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Wonder Bar.jpg

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on ] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

:-D

Hey buddy!! How are you doing?? Particularly thanks to your help, Kapoor's article has made a lot of improvement over the past few weeks. However, though majority of the article has improved, I feel that the "In the media" section needs to be re-written, something along the lines of the way it is written on Ms. Jolie and Ms. Zinta's pages. Could you offer me some tips on how to re-write it?? If you have some suggestions, please feel free to let me know!! BTW, if you think of a way to re-write it, go ahead and add it in!! :-D Thanks in advance!! Best Regards --Bollywood Dreamz 02:54, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
