Survey

Hi Meryam90!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Misplaced Pages (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Misplaced Pages! Thank you!

Done. I love the idea :) and I was shocked to know that 91% of editors here on Wiki are males. --Meryam90 (talk) 10:44, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Clarify as to why you removed the entire reviews part that I added, with proper references to good sources Variety, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I loved Don 2, but reviews are reviews and all of them have to be posted. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 09:41, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

There were no references...I just checked again...There were NO references.--Meryam90 (talk) 22:01, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Meryam, they were there. I clearly put Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes and Variety references. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:44, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Here is my edit http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Don_2&diff=472273759&oldid=472273138

tell me if you see a reference there and lemme know...maybe u should of checked ypurself first before trying to argue here with me...--Meryam90 (talk) 17:49, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

I talked about REVIEWS Meryam. The reviews I added of Variety and two others are not there right now. Besides, the Los Angeles Times did not give a positive review, they gave it a mixed one. Check Metacritic. In case you did not remove the reviews, then forget everything said. Btw, I was about to add the ref for the 49% part, and frankly I'm suprised you didn't do so. I will add that bit and put it up. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 16:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Reviews? Then it wasn't me...I only deleted review fom India from Indecine and BollySpice... and the edit I showed you is the other thing I removed because it had no source. So, pretty much wasn't me who deleted your reviews buddy...and you can't edit the article, it's protected now :P --Meryam90 (talk) 16:41, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Well yes, no problem then. What do you mean "I can't edit the article"? Can't auto-confirmed users edit the articles automatically? ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 07:26, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

And why has the protection been added? Has there been troublesome editing going on? Or is it that some SRK haters are taking issue with the BO figures quoted, and found it in their best interests to block editing off for everyone? ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 07:28, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

I have no idea, I just woke up yestrday and discovered that some admin made it fully protected on claims that there is dispute over the worldwide gross and the poster...I think we fixed the poster issue already, guess we will need to find some solution to the damned Info Box. Why the hell must SRK release his movies in dubbed versions? ARG...--Meryam90 (talk) 12:19, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Re:OSO

I think you can dig up a bit and find some website which will have the nominations list. I'll try to help, though I'm pretty busy right now on some film forums regarding Agneepath. Btw, have you seen Agneepath? ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 14:48, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Becoming An Admin

Hey, how does one become an admin? I know you don't like me that much but no one is updating the Don 2 page and that X.One guy is just some lame Salman fanboy who keeps on thwarting my attempts.

Did you see this?

The section is like the Preity Zinta, kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji's sections. It speaks about his achievement outside of his films, his reputation in Media and his ranking in power lists and stuff :D

Scieberking is getting himself worked up. Its a common thing among the haters; point out their hatred and they get all huffy. Prove their hatred, they blast up on others. How typical. Btw, Meryam you seriously need some copyedit training. The last sentence you wrote makes next to no sense. :P ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 18:15, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

LOL I KNOW...It probably has something to do with me multitasking, I should stop doing that. do check the section, I'm uploading it slowly, btw, How do U feel about this:

Khan has an abundance of style in terms of his trademark mannerisms, gestures and way of delivering dialogues and his acting style is often compared to that of actor Dilip Kumar. Through his appearance in numerous romantic films- often produced by Yash Raj Films or by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Khan has developed a “romantic lover boy” image and is referred to as the “king of romance” by Media outlets. Khan is often accused of repeating himself either through the type of characters that he plays, referred to as the “Rajs and Rahuls” or him not being able to shed the superstar persona on screen and often playing himself. In 2011, Rediff.com listed him in top 10 "Readers Choice: The Greatest Actors of all time". In June 2009 he was declared the male Star of The Decade at the tenth International Indian Film Academy Awards, held in Macau. --Meryam90 (talk) 18:19, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

I made several changes to the section. You can give it a look. Regarding this, I'll suggest:-

"Khan's mannerisms, gestures, dialogue delivery and acting style is often compared to that of actor Dilip Kumar. Due to his appearance in numerous romantic films, Khan has developed a "romantic lover boy" image and is referred to as the "King of Romance" by media outlets. Khan has been often accused of repeating himself through the type of characters that he plays, referred to as the "Rajs and Rahuls", or him not being able to shed the superstar persona on screen and often playing himself. In 2011, Rediff.com listed him in "Readers Choice: The Greatest Actors of all time". In June 2009 he was declared the Star of The Decade (Male) at the 2009 IIFA Awards."

See. Keep it trimmed and simple; cut out all the fancy media-created stuff. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 18:36, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

I think I wanna keep trademark mannerisms in there and the way you phrased it isn't the way it is suppse to be, the main focus isn't the comparison to Dilip Kuamr:P So maybe:

Khan has an abundance of style in terms of his trademark mannerisms, gestures and way of delivering dialogues and his acting style is often compared to that of actor Dilip Kumar. Through his appearance in numerous romantic films- often produced by Yash Raj Films or by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Khan has developed a "romantic lover boy" image and is referred to as the "King of Romance" by media outlets. Khan has been often accused of repeating himself through the type of characters that he plays, referred to as the "Rajs and Rahuls", or him not being able to shed the superstar persona on screen and often playing himself. In 2011, Rediff.com listed him in "Readers Choice: The Greatest Actors of all time". In June 2009 he was declared the Star of The Decade (Male) at the 2009 IIFA Awards. amma go with That :D

Even if you keep trademark, i strongly think that that Karan Johar-YRF thing isn't necessary. Misplaced Pages requires direct details; besides, SRK has done romantic films outside these banners as well. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 18:49, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Hmm U're right actually, he did :P so taking out YRS and Karan :D

Nice expansion. I've made few more changes to it. Now the section looks pretty good. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 05:55, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, :D I added more and OMG, I am still not done :O --Meryam90 (talk) 20:11, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Re:Freaking Out

Ok, show it to me. Rumana has my email address so you can email it to her or just show it to me here, just past it on my talk page. -- Asher Madan 11:28, 4 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashermadan (talk • contribs)

Also, I unblocked you from Twitter. You can send me the link there. You haven't responded about the SRK piece you needed me to check. Asher Madan 16:29, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

No that's fine, I went ahead and uploaded it, it's on SRK's page now the "IN THE MEDIA "section. tell me what do U think, and please, none of ur famous English tweaks...seriously...--Meryam90 (talk) 22:06, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Housefull 2

I don't know whether you like Akshay Kumar or not, but take a look at this Housefull 2 trailer. If you don't puke, you're not human :D. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 15:30, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Bodyguard Worldwide Gross

Scieberking is vandalizing the Bodyguard 2011 page. He is changing it to 253 crores when we still use BOI for HINDI ONLY films. Help me stop him. He has gone crazy with the mad-for-Salman disease. Asher Madan 00:31, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Did you see his reason for putting ₹253 crores? "since there's no restriction to use BOI only" LMAO! ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 04:13, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Meryam, you're missing the fun. Come on quick. Its seriously hilarious, and you should check out Scieberking's die-hard attempts to pull down Ra.One and push up Bodyguard. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 08:27, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Scieberking has gone crazy and is trying to pull down Ra.One! The Lallu fan inside him awoke finally. We need you to join in. This is hilarious! Asher Madan 08:58, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

And what is even more disgusting is that he is getting some support, especially about his rant that BOI is not reliable. And X.One is going a step further, by mailing stuff rather than talk face to face. Cowards; when they can't use logic or consistency, they resort to below-the-belt methods and cheap arm-twists to get their way. And then they irritatingly preach about "divas". Irony exists in every corner of Misplaced Pages. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 10:05, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

survey

It said 7,021 urban youth ages 18-25 were surveyed, but that's not what I meant. It appears that they only had about 15 candidates to select from in multiple choice style, and SRK was probably the only person the kids recognized. There is also an * showing SRK with a lower score, but does not explain what that * means. BollyJeff || talk 18:57, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

The * is explained under the pictures, it's the average of males and females. 9.3% males and 9.9% females. and it is the case for ALL polls, just a select number of ppl is surveyed anyway. never been a part of a public youth survey before!? they don't ask millions. --Meryam90 (talk) 19:11, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I think you are wrong about the * because it also shows two figures without * for M and F in 13%-17% range. Anyway I don't care anymore; keep adding junk to the article. You may want to at least capitalize the first word and fix the source formatting. BollyJeff || talk 19:38, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

U sure have a way with words huh? I found your answer, the one in * is the results of the 2011 survey, it is stated in the very bottom of the page in the ePaper. and Thank you for your kind words they're heart warming Would that be all? --Meryam90 (talk) 20:05, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes dear, that's all :-))) Have a nice day. BollyJeff || talk 20:47, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Oh, how about adding this to Katrina Kaif, Salman Khan, and Barak Obama articles as well? BollyJeff || talk 20:50, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

why would care to add them there? Salman and Katrina are on the sexy list, are U saying being on a sexy list equals being called a role model? Niiice logic yaar!! Oh and that would be all wasn't an actual question, it was a polite way of telling u...to leave this talk page :D --Meryam90 (talk) 20:57, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

So...

Feeling bored actually; do you have any khaas article you are working on? Btw, Why This Kolaveri Di? ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 13:10, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

R U asking me the actual question or showing me the article for the song? cause I freaking hate that song lol

Well so far I want Don 2 to have a peer review and I wanna work more on MNIK to make it a GA...wanna help? :D --Meryam90 (talk) 13:15, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
