Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 10:34, 29 December 2013

Misplaced Pages is no place for humour. Everything is very serious here and we are all terrifically important.

An editor thinks something might be wrong with this page. They can't be bothered to fix it, but can rest assured that they've done their encyclopedic duty by sticking on a tag. Please allow this tag to languish indefinitely at the top of the page, since nobody knows exactly what the tagging editor was worked up about.

It's no suprise

...that the pest is back at it again! -- Bollywood Dreamz 05:53, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Mmm, just when you actually start to think he's changed he does something like that...♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:57, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

It's his agenda against other Bollywood actresses. LOL. Look what he's trying to do now. Both the awards have been properly sourced by two sources (with one video actually showing Padukone winning the award), yet he claims that she didn't receive it -- Bollywood Dreamz 20:04, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

LOL....I dont have any agenda, it was your's and Shahid's agenda to only praise Kapoor and Zinta's article......Well, i have provided claims on Kapoor's talk page which clears everything. You have twisted evrything and Bollywood Dreamz stop presentin g everything like a bunch of Gossip and bad mouthing abouT me. I have posted at the Kapoor's talk page which is wrong according to you? Huh.... Blofeld, i dont know why you always suspect me....? I have represented my concerns on the Kapoor's talk anf that is a good thing no? As for Padukone, thatr award....so tell me why there is no FACE OF THE YEAR AWARD now? As for information Balan's list also had that award but, the truth is that that award is the same as Debut award and Chopra, Balan, Padukone, Kngna Ranaut, Ayesha Takia were presented the same award twice but, there is no media cooverage of those awards. I'm following Filmfares from 2002 and dude every actress (debut) from 2002-2008 were presented that Face of the year but, there is actually no award like that....okay. If there was then why there is no proof of that in media.—Prashant 05:59, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I read "This was followed by a series of repetitive roles, which garnered her negative reviews and little success. ohh really?? Little success?? All films were big duds. " It's the tone of your messages and as if I intentionally cherry pick for Indian actresses. If you don't want to be treated like a petty little twat stop acting like one!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:24, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

CGI

I hadn't seen that before. It's fun...kind of cute. Not bad for CGI, either. Although I wonder how she'd feel about being used to advertise chocolate. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 21:04, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Mughal-e-Azam

Congratulations on your successful FAC! You (and a whole host of others) worked very hard on improving it and making it ready. I'm sorry that I came in at the 11th hour with a ton of issues—it would have been better if I'd participated earlier. Still, I hope the article is better for my review, and I thank you for your prompt attention to the concerns I raised. I'll go through and standardize the serial commas (and perhaps some other comma usage as well), since I think that's important for MoS compliance. Anyway, congratulations again, and I hope you enjoy Christmas if that's your thing, and enjoy your week if not. All the best, – Quadell 01:57, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Impressive piece of work! and a big congrats from my side :) —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 04:51, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks guys, glad to see it has scraped through!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:06, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Congrats

Yaaaaaay, congrats for mughal e Azam! Thanks a lot. I often thought to ask you, but never did actually! Why the hell are you so interested in Indian film articles (not that I mind you being interested)? Again, thanks a lot for giving so much for getting MeA to FA status. Regards, --Dwaipayan (talk) 05:48, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! Phew that was a close call! Why am I interested in Indian films? I'm not especially, I'm a general major film buff and keep my eyes open to world films. My interest in Bollywood began when I created the world film lists and I saw a surprising dedication to helping expand them by the likes of Shshshsh and Pa7 and the great work they were doing. Admittedly most Bollywood films I've seen have been a bit too sugary/melodramatic for my taste and I don't get the frequent need for the song and dance in sometimes bizarre situations but I've still enjoyed a fair few Indian films, especially the Apu trilogy. I'll try to get to Panther over the Christmas period. If you really want to know why I've been involved with so much work getting Indian films/actors to FA, it's because of the passion of you guys. It's editors like you, Bollyjeff, Krimuk, Kailash, Jion and even Prashant when he stops being a petty idiot who do most of the work on them and I often see potential in getting them to FA. the classic Indians films in particular I consider as important as the classic Hollywood films in view of page views and status in Asia in terms of numbers and I'm glad to see there's been a movement by you and Jeff to try to get them up to FA. Next I'd imagine will be Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! for Bollywood.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:05, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I was surprised to see that you started Chhote Sarkar (1996 film) :) and I was particularly amused by the edit summary of the article creation edit.--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:32, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Yeah it's amusing looking back now, but she was famous back then!! I filled in the red links of her 90s films I think. I can think of more attractive Indian actresses now but she's still a very good looking woman... Merry Christmas BTW!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:12, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Merry Christmas to you, too. And yes, of course she remain s avery beautiful lady, no doubt on that. Seems you were a fan then. I think the article was created around the Celebrity Big Brother time.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:41, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

The Dorchester

I just finished reviewing The Dorchester and found it to be a very well written and near-perfect article, well done on all the work! There were only some VERY minor copyediting issues and two broken links, so have put it on hold for seven days until those issues are addressed. But really, once those minor issues are taken care of it will be given GA status immediately! Well done on building that article. It sounds like a very interesting place... not that I'll ever be able to stay there in my lifetime haha :) ☠ Jaguar ☠ 23:56, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

You will be happy to know that the article passed the GA review. It fully complied per the GA criteria and I left the final comments on the review page. Well done on building another Good Article! I knew from the start that The Dorchester would easily pass considering its good quality. If you need anything else that need reviewing in the future you know where to find me.

FlC

Hello! Doc, i intend to nominate Chopra filmography in 2014 and before nominating, I want to sort everything and i have asked a few editors who can actually help.—Prashant 06:14, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Editor's Barnstar
	For your tireless work to get Mughal-e-Azam to FA. Congratulations!! —Prashant 06:20, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Prashant! Let's hope the filmography has better luck when you next nom it!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:27, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Me too. Also, I was thinking to nominate Kaminey, Aitraaz for GA. But, You were about to edit the summary of Kaminey. Would you finish before that. Thanks!—Prashant 16:53, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Al-Mansura, Safad expanded

Ok, one stub you created, Al-Mansura, Safad has been expanded by User:Padres Hana and me during the last few days, so now it actually pass a DYK regarding expansion. Would you care to nominate it? Perhaps add the picture (see the talk-page) (Yupp, still working on the -48 villages...after all these years...) Cheers, Huldra (talk) 17:57, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't actually have anything to do with DYK anymore and haven't nominated an article in a good 6 months.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:05, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I didn´t know. Any particular reason? Huldra (talk) 18:11, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm too good perhaps? :-]♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:16, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I just realised that I never answered the comment you left on my talk page around the time when Chaplin was promoted to GA – sorry about that, it's been a hectic autumn! Anyway, I don't know yet what will be my next WP project. I've been thinking about rewriting Barbara Stanwyck's page for a long time, as I have thoroughly enjoyed all her work that I've seen so far and admire the way she could convincingly act in different genres. I also think she often gets overshadowed by the stars who had stronger public images in a sense (but were perhaps also more easily typecast) and have therefore had more longevity, like Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Katherine Hepburn – all of whom have excellent pages here in WP as well. Mary Pickford is another legend who I think deserves a better article – in general, I think it would be interesting to work more on articles about silent film. The problem with both Stanwyck and Pickford is that material about them is not as readily available as on Chaplin, and as a student I am not sure I can justify spending loads of money on buying books and films. With Chaplin I've managed to not buy any books but have just borrowed them from different libraries.

Over the summer I also already started improving James Thierrée's page, although so far all my work is still in my sandbox – I saw a performance by him last summer and was completely blown away, it was a magical experience. He is certainly not someone who's simply riding on his grandfather's fame (something that unfortunately cannot be said for all Chaplin grandkids...). Your idea of improving all Chaplin film articles is also something I'd definitely be interested in taking part in! TrueHeartSusie3 (talk) 11:30, 24 December 2013 (UTC)TrueHeartSusie3

DYK for Malplaquet House

On 24 December 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Malplaquet House, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Malplaquet House in Stepney, London, uninhabited for over a century, is "possibly the most superbly restored, privately owned Georgian house in the country"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Malplaquet House. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

"A Merry Christmas!" I heard him cry.

Thanks very much - merry Christmas and happy new year to you, too!

I haven't, no - it's a ballet film, isn't it? I've never been much of one for ballet, really. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:02, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

thanks!

...for the tip, that will be very helpful for me. Happy holidays to you. --Soman (talk) 16:30, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello!

Merry Christmas to you and your family Dr. Blofield! DudeWithAFeud (talk) 03:21, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Chopin

Thnaks for your message! I'm more or less done with the article for the while, if you want to take a look at it now. Really I'm not such a Chopin maven, it is just the article was originally in a deplorable state. Editing it is no easy task as one has to cope with other editors who sometimes seem more concerned with Polish nationalism or other WP:UNDUE aspects. Still I have the intention of getting it up to at least GA in the medium term. Apart from any other failings, at the moment I think it needs more on the actual music, on recordings and maybe legacy (recent Chopin pianists etc.). Possibly also something on C's personality. Best, and all good wishes for 2014, --Smerus (talk) 09:58, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Italian films

I don't know if you had already noticed, but I have already expanded several of these lists. Just a question of time, but all the work will be done! --Cavarrone 22:51, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

No problem, now I added that film to the 1972 article. Next days I will make some mayor expansions to the lists. --Cavarrone 23:02, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Bentworth for FA?

Hi doctor, this might sound crazy, but I'm letting you know that I'm interested in getting Bentworth up to an FA standard and hopefully to nominate in some good time. I've been thinking about it for a while now, and I'm just giving you a 'heads-up' to let you know what you think about this. I've never actually fully built up an article to FA before (but I do only have one major contribution to an FA article). Colonel Ukiws (not major, I heard he got a promotion) has been inactive from Misplaced Pages for quite some time now, so I take that as a good omen! Please let me know what you think. Regards, ☠ Jaguar ☠ 23:18, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

I was thinking the same thing lately. What other villages did you have in mind? ☠ Jaguar ☠ 16:17, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

British films

Thanks. I'll try to knock some of these interwar British era articles into better shape over the next few weeks. Happy New Year. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 21:51, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Question

Hi Dr. , Can i know, do you have created all your articles manually or with a bot? --XXN (talk) 14:28, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure why I was mentioned, I've never used a bot in my life on here and I generally don't approve of very short stubs without any TLC any longer on here. Sometimes a bot used to create articles with sufficient sourcing and info can be useful but I'm not a coder. I guess User:Redrose64 and some others still associate me with that sort of desperate stubbing!... Can I ask what sort of articles you're thinking of creating?♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:31, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Geografical articles. But not here, on another local wikiproject. XXN (talk) 20:02, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

December 2013

Please do not attack other editors, as you did on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Bech-Bruun. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Msnicki (talk) 16:12, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

That is a farce, a total joke. He didn't make a personal attack and your WP:BLUDGEONing the process is disruptive. ChrisGualtieri (talk)

@Msnicki. You're behaving abysmally. The article has been relisted for deletion. So I've revoted to keep it yet you've crossed out my deletion and turned up here with a rather pathetic warning. If personal attacks damage the community, time-wasting nobodies who persist on being POINTy and trying to delete content which easily passes GNG and can't accept that they're wrong is ten times worse. You ought to be banned from the website for your disruption.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:38, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

FYI

I'm asking for clarification of whether you should be able to breach ArbCom's remedy in the infobox case, requiring editors to maintain decorum and civility when engaged in discussions about infoboxes. --RexxS (talk) 22:42, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

RexxS, I'm sick to death of logging into this website and seeing people like you forcing infoboxes and then brandishing civility policies at editors who work in good faith here and disagree with you. Infobox pushers act like little leaches eating away at the website and the enthusiasm of contributors here. Infoboxes are NOT compulsory and this was decided by Arb here. I have no problems with infoboxes where' they contain a wealth of information, whether it be buildings, sportspeople or aircraft or settlements and I think they're to be advised on things like that. What I detest is infobox pushers where the infobox is virtually redundant and contains nothing other than the name and date of birth and occupation which is all mentioned in the lead. Quite frankly I've had more than my fair share of infobox disputes and I do NOT want to see a repeat of Peter Sellers. Go do something useful instead.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:34, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
