Not all are images developed from original photographs.

Dear Sir,

The pictures of Ganga Devi,Radha Krishna and Sita Ram are paintings that I have created.I own these Paintings.All others which have been created from original photographs of living people are subject to deletion as according to you.It does not matter to me since i am new to Misplaced Pages and have not had enough time to go through all the regulations.I do not think i will be able to get any letter of permission from the original photographer or from those who have rights to those photographs .Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Hi

User:Shshshsh and User:Shez 15 have already integrated most of the trivia facts into the main article in Preity Zinta`s and Rani Mukherjee`s pages. No need in tags anymore. You may have not seen the trivia but if you look you`ll see that there are only 8 trivia facts in Zinta`s page and 7 in Mukherjee`s, which I`m going to integrate later. So please don`t put it again. Thanks. --Roniron 17:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Shshshsh and Shez 15 have removed much of the trivia, and have done a fantastic job.

As you pointed out yourself, there are 8 facts in Zinta's page and 7 in Mukherjee's. Since both article still contain trivia sections, they will remain tagged.

Thanks but ...

Dear Xcentaur,

That was such a sweet note. I do miss WP in some ways -- it was a great impetus to learning. However, I was losing my temper too much. Dealing with uneducated and cruel POV pushers was taking too much of a toll. You can't have a community if there is no punishment for bad behavior and there are new yahoos jumping into the fray every minute. An argument with a yahoo ONCE is instructive; having the same argument every few days is wearing. It takes months to piss off enough people to rate an arbitration, and then the arbitration itself will take months -- with anyone who ventures to give evidence then becoming a target for venom and possible punishment. What kind of court is it where witnesses become targets?

WP needs better crowd control. Either it reforms, or another site is going to figure out how to do it right and trounce it. Zora 20:08, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you.

Hi!,

Painting all those pictures was a pleasure.I'll be uploading many more other paintings for Misplaced Pages in future.I'll surely add a tag that i Painted them myself soon. Others need a deletion as you say because i can see that it will not be possible for Misplaced Pages to continue publishing those images anymore.

Shahrukh Khan

Hello, Xcentaur,

yes, you are absolutely right - the talk page is extremly long. It really whould be archived. I guess we can archive the first thirty topics up to the semi-protection dating February 2007. What do you think?

Best regards, --Plumcouch 12:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

PS. Also, I noted your suggestions for Khan's article - I didn't realize someone groomed it to make Khan look better (see KBC). You're right - we are not Oprah. ;)

Ajith Kumar

Hello, Xcentaur,

if you have time, maybe you could take a look at Ajith Kumar's article. I tried to clean it up several times, but fangush is added time and again. If you'd be willing to help me, maybe we could properly reference it among other things. Because, honestly, it's very tiring to handle the fans over there all alone. Best regards, --Plumcouch 12:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Re. hey there

Many thanks for your kind comments. I actually do remember running into you on my early days, I actually think your userpage was one of the 1st vandalism reversions that I did! It's unbelievable to think that I came here to create a page on my mates band, and now I'm an administrator! I guess it's just really addictive. I guess the lesson I'd give to anyone starting out on wikipedia would be to treat people how you would wish to be treated yourself, and I hope that people find me friendly on the wiki. On a side note, get some more wikipedia space and wikipedia talk space edits and I'll nom you for adminship if you like? Ryan Postlethwaite 13:56, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

It's not about number of edits as such, it's more the spread of edits. I don't think anyone would oppose you for number of edits as you have over 3,000 (that's the generally accepted mark), you've also proved to be trusted as you've been here since March 2006 without trouble. As I said, my only concern is your wikipedia space edits, administrators have to deal with wikipedia issues all the time, much of it is what adminship is about. If I was you, I'd try to hammer out the AfD's for a month (by that I mean commenting on them not nominating a load of random articles!), along with getting involved in some policy related debates on wikipedia talk pages (such as WP:U or WP:USER or WP:N), WP:AN/I and WP:AN are also good places to take a look at and comment at as it gives you a feel of what it's like to be an administrator.

Could I suggest you post this to ANI instead of AIV? It seems a bit beyond "simple vandalism", especially when dealing with not-so-blatant hoaxes. Nice userpage, by the way :) Cheers, Daniel Bryant 08:45, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Shah Rukh Khan

Thanks for your help XC, I have re inputted the information with the references of his family backgrounds, but in a way so that it is formatted in the right tone of the article. Could you take a look and let me know if this is cool with you? Many thanks again.--Raja 09:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Anything that helps the article is cool with me :)

Just had a look at the article - you've formatted it very well and the language follows neutral tone. Excellent edits, Raja! Cheers! xC | ☎ 12:09, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Rani Mukerji

Why are you after that page when it is highly maintained by many editors? As a sugession, Preity Zinta's page is pretty similar to Rani's. You should edit that too to be fair. - shez_15

Laughable. This is Misplaced Pages, not your personal playground. No-one can tell me what to edit. So I'll edit whichever articles I like, whether you believe thats fair or not.

Just so you know, both pages are a mess. Perhaps thats why they appear so similar.

Regards, xC | ☎ 04:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Plz stop!

I'll get you the sources of her link-ups with Govinda, Aditya Chopra and Abhishek Bachchan. But that was all gossip, that's why one of the editors took their names out and all the references but if you want I can. But not right now. Better yet, you do it instead of putting citation needed. I changed family background to early life. Happy? And I'll get to the references later. I have to get up early tomorrow and stay hungry for 36 hours. It's for a cause to donate money to African poverished children. I can't right now. Thanks. - shez_15

You simply reverted to your self-certified previous version, and haven't actually achieved anything productive with that revert.

The gossip can be mentioned with references, if and only if it is notable. Otherwise that line should be removed.

You did not change family background to early life, you just reverted.

Citations are the onus of the editor trying to put the content in.

I wish you best of luck for your efforts, its a noble cause. Best regards, xC | ☎ 06:31, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
