Hey!

Jeff, would you like to review my second solo FLC? I would appreciate your gesture.Krish | Talk 15:43, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

2010s Reply

I understood now i don't add portal 2010s link any article page in less than 2010s film article I'm sorry bro. ⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕ 03:57, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

On Mark Levin's article. Need help.

Ok, so recently I've tried to edit the section of the Wiretapping Allegations to put it in a true, neutral POV. I have reverted the article twice do to edit conflicts among the other users. So I've decided to try to reach a consensus on the talk page of the article. Could you perhaps back me up here? From what I can tell, the latest edit by User:Boneada and others do not appear to fall under WP:HONEST, but rather WP:DISHONEST.

I'm trying to clean up the section of the article as it is not only short on content, but I feel that it is to an extent, may it be direct or indirectly favoring one side. Kirby (talk) 13:24, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Your thoughts?

Hi Bollyjeff, there's a discussion at Talk:Dutt (film) about whether or not the film should be presented with Hindi script in |film_name= as we sometimes do with films like Drishyam. I'm curious if you have any input on this that you'd be willing to contribute to the discussion. One user thinks it's aesthetically displeasing, another user says that it's normal to include native script, and by extension almost mandatory to do so at Dutt. If you could contribute some thoughts, I'd be appreciative. I know that ICTF has briefly spoken about this in the past. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:35, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

YouTube vlogger Scherezade Shroff Talwar

User:Bollyjeff Hi! A Wiki article has just recently been written about Indian vlogger and former model, Scherezade Shroff. If you have anything to add with supportive sources, please feel free to do so.Davidbena (talk) 11:22, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Mughal-e-Azam's Tamil-dub

The article already mentions it was dubbed in Tamil as Akbar. I've found evidence that it was released in 1961 (courtesy, The Indian Express dated March 3). Please see where in the article it can be used. --Kailash29792 (talk) 12:55, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Added, thanks. Bollyjeff | talk 01:07, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Dhoom series

Look for any single template of a film series whether it belongs to Hollywood, Bollywood, south Indian or any other if it contains the lead actor or director's name. take an example of Template:Baahubali or those of pirates of the caribbean, harry potter, twilight, fast and furious or any other. And yes, Template:Krrish contains so because it only has one series and three movie pages unlike soundtrack pages of dhoom. I hope it is enough for you to understand.I am aman goyal (talk) 17:10, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes! games, theme parks and all media related to the franchise can be added but not the peoples engaged in that. I am aman goyal (talk) 14:54, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Precious anniversary

Precious

Four years!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:29, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

... five years now! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:28, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for today's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, "a film that has been running in a theater in India for nearly 20 years, making it by far the longest running film ever in the country. It helped propel to stardom an actor who is now arguably the biggest movie star in the world."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:11, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

Talkpage topic

Hi. I don't want to be dragged into a long article talkpage discussion, but since you left a message there, could you please tell them that the content was not removed, but moved out of the lede, into the body of the text? They should already know that (it's in the edit summary). I think they may be trolling us, which is why I don't want to write on that talkpage. There are also POV issues ("excellent", "one of the best") but those can be dealt with/rephrased later. Thanks!Zigzig20s (talk) 03:49, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Someone else did. Thanks!Zigzig20s (talk) 08:02, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

I am concerned that in the same lede, it says it is "one of the best", but in the RS at the end of the sentence, it is ranked 52 globally, 31 nationally and 108 globally. One of the best makes it sound like it's in the top 10-20 universities, which is not true. The lede appears to be misleading. Would you like to fix this please?Zigzig20s (talk) 19:12, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

US News ranks it 14 in the nation, within the top 20. That is a better source for the statement, so I changed it. Bollyjeff | talk 01:21, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Right. Isn't "one of the best" problematic though? I would prefer if we said, "as of 2017, it is ranked 108 and 52 globally, or 31 and 14 nationally, depending on the ranking.". That would be the truth. This may be a widespread problem; I just happened to see it there.Zigzig20s (talk) 09:26, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

It is subjective, especially when the ranks vary so much. It doesn't make sense to give specific numbers for that reason either, and they will change every year. Let's see if your question gets any traction. Did you check the archives? I find it hard to believe that this hasn't come up before. I did a quick check and found an RfC with no consensus. Such joy. Bollyjeff | talk 13:47, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

The editor added the undue info to the lede yet again, despite the explanation on the talkpage. They also added lots of self-sourced content, basically advertising. Can you please fix this and explain to them why we need to use reliable third-party sources? Some of the info we could keep, like the library (that's not POV, I don't think), but the rest needs to be trimmed or simply deleted. It's exhausting and potentially disruptive. I hope you have more patience and diplomatic skills than I do!Zigzig20s (talk) 20:30, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

One diplomatic way out of this would be to find sources on Newspapers.com or in books and replace the RS they added, to show them how it works. But ignoring the talkpage was not a good move on their part. Not cool. Have you noticed similar patterns with other articles about universities?Zigzig20s (talk) 20:58, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

The lede of Emory University says "Emory is frequently cited as one of the world's leading research universities and one of the top institutions in the United States." with TONS of RS. Not sure if that's better/more acceptable?Zigzig20s (talk) 21:00, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

I am not motivated to spend too much time fighting people on Misplaced Pages anymore, sorry. Bollyjeff | talk 12:31, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Misleading information

Would you please take care of this? I have been trying to help but the red-linked editor keeps adding misleading information.Zigzig20s (talk) 04:10, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Someone else did. Let's hope it remains stable. You may also want to opine on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Universities#Shall we ban the U.S. News & World Report?. Thank you!Zigzig20s (talk) 04:16, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Removal of picture from shahrukh khan's profile

This picture is not of mine this man is already dead, but the most positive man around. And he was an event manager. Draft:Sanjay Kukreja Noname479 (talk) 20:40, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Picture

I only added that picture and I only clicked that picture after My Name Is Khan's press conference held by Mr. Sanjay Kukreja in Mumbai. Noname479 (talk) 21:16, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Katrina Kaif.

Hi, its not about removing criticism . I feel this page portraits a bit too much negativity about the actor, where as she has had a good career and is looked at very positively by the audience. So without distorting the facts was only making minor changes in language. Also thought that as she is well known by her first name so instead of Kaif can we change it to Katrina? Kindly look into the same. CAMSangeeta (talk) 10:08, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Mughal-e-Azam

Doesn't harm to credit all the singers in my opinion, the word is 'including'. What do you think? Wolf Cola (talk) 01:38, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

The problem is that you are listing Rafi first, with his one song versus her nine, and adding his name with hers where it is not equal in the sources. Bollyjeff | talk 16:34, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

I see what you mean but I went on the word 'including' because there is Lata there, Bade Ghulam Ali Khan there, so I thought all the playback singers should be listed there. Also, I didnt look at it based on the 'quantity' of songs but just crediting all the singers in the soundtrack. It is a very minor edit anyway. Wolf Cola (talk) 19:22, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Move 'Preity Zinta' to 'Preity G Zinta'

Hi Bollyjeff,

Preity Zinta is using her name as 'Preity G Zinta' on her official accounts like facebook & twitter etc...'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrugeshsingh (talk • contribs) 09:46, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Miss information in Hrithik Roshan Misplaced Pages page

Hi Bollyjeff

I was going through Hrithik Roshan Misplaced Pages Page and notice that Citation had been Inaccurately Quoted. The article no where mentions that the case was files to cover up the Divorce proceedings. Kangana did refute the allegations in media. More over Hrithik has files no case against Kangana. The case filed is against an anonymous source for cyber stalking and harassment. Besides all that the data "cover up the Divorce proceedings" at citation 150 is incorrect can you please remove this.(Sirajbrunton (talk) 14:45, 28 August 2018 (UTC))

I am no expert on this stuff, but the source does seem to say what is claimed as far as I can see. You would be better off putting this on the talk page of the article so that others can give their opinion as well. Bollyjeff | talk 16:48, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge scheduled for TFA

This is to let you know that the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge article has been scheduled as today's featured article for October 20, 2018. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/October 20, 2018, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1100 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so. I've used an image of Kajol because the free image of the two stars that's already in the article seems poor quality, but feel free to change if you think it's more appropriate Thanks!
