Article Rajesh Khanna

thanks you have provided with cite refernces for the superstar tag and politics refernces. feeling great . i hve lots of idea as to how to improve artcles about his films and his wikipedia profile. the problem is i dont get referces easily. i know lots of things about all the legends of indian cinema but after IT revolution in India there are very less online data about Khanna's life,films,box office reports etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrik88music (talk • contribs) 18:41, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I simply did a search on Google books. It's often a better source of references than just finding websites. You might find the Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books at http://reftag.appspot.com/ useful for making references out of Google books URLs. I find it very good. — Hebrides (talk) 20:45, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Help i need

in the wikipedia article of films like Dharam aur kanoon, amardeep, maqsad, bandish, babu,aaj ka ram avtaar mla - please give your cite refernces for the word Superstar along with http://entertainment.in.msn.com/gallery.aspx?cp-documentid=4155691&page=4 which administartor has suggested (moondorgirl). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrik88music (talk • contribs) 18:50, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Try this: {{cite web|url=http://entertainment.in.msn.com/gallery.aspx?cp-documentid=4155691&page=4|title=India's First Superstar - Retiring Room: Rajesh Khanna|work=MSN Entertainment|date=2010-07-14|accessdate=2010-07-17}} – it should then appear as a reference looking like this:

"India's First Superstar - Retiring Room: Rajesh Khanna". MSN Entertainment. 2010-07-14. Retrieved 2010-07-17.

Is that what you need? — Hebrides (talk) 20:54, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

query

http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Awam_(film)&action=edit

here the article appears as Awam (film) instead of Awam(1987 film) or should appear as Awam,Hindi movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrik88music (talk • contribs) 19:25, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

What is wrong with Awam (film)? The word (film) is only needed because there is already an Awam article. — Hebrides (talk) 20:57, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

what iam saying is it doesnt look good if it appears as awam(film). instead why not create article named awam in a new manner such that only the name appears and nothing in brackets in its side. also in the other article page about some other awam we can redirect those who r looking for awam the 1987 filmShrik88music (talk) 12:29, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

The policy on this seems to be at WP:PRIMARYTOPIC – we need to take an unbiased decision as to whether Awam or Awam (film) is the primary topic. Using the tools listed at WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, it would appear to me that Awam is the primary topic, which implies that the current page naming is correct. Would you like to read through WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and let me know what you conclude? — Hebrides (talk) 13:25, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Alag Alag 1985

http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Alag_Alag

i have added re3fernces and please add more refernces from your side too and remove that cleanup tag.

you may find the following refernces as useful too http://old.musicindiaonline.com/music/hindi_bollywood/s/movie_name.100/ - for songs http://www.desifm.com/singer_kishore_kumar.cfm -- he sang free for khanna.

always send replies in my talk pageShrik88music (talk) 15:25, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

also i feel in rajesh khanna article we should provide a new entry about his relation ship with his friends kishore and rd burman instaed of putting it in under later career section.

Informations which u can add in ur own words

http://www.screenindia.com/news/the-original-superstar-rajesh-khanna/327356/

u didnt get me. i know u r not aware of hindi films but what iam saying is as a layman and an frequent user who knows about wikipedia rules what i want is for u to improve the article about Khanna in following ways

I hve sent the link from which you can add details like the following which iam copy pasting( off course the sentences have to be changed and wordings too). 1)There were so many words that were spelt as “Rajesh Khanna” then: “Magic” for one. “Charisma” for another. Here’s a look at Hindi cinema’s first Superstar, a man for the term “Phenomenon” was coined It was somewhere in early 1967 that two films called Raaz and Aakhri Khat were released. They were made by top filmmakers of the time - G.P.Sippy and Chetan Anand respectively - but nosedived at the b-o. 2)Someone said that the common-to-both hero was a man called Rajesh Khanna, and that the films were a part of his predetermined prize for winning the All-India United Producers’ Talent Competition. Write-ups spoke of an actor who was confidence personified. 3)The big name heroes ruled, and two more big names, S.S.Vasan of Gemini (Aurat) and Nasir Husain (Baharon Ke Sapne) made also-ran films with him. With the latter, the actor struck up an enduring friendship with Nasir’s composer, R.D.Burman. 4) The actor, who had come to Mumbai with the backing of rather apprehensive parents and rudimentary theatrical experience, struggled in his own car - a first again. And wonder of wonders, despite flops, he had been signed by biggies Shakti Samanta, Raj Khosla, Asit Sen and A.Subba Rao. 5)Do Raaste, Ittefaq, Doli, Bandhan, Saccha Jhutha (one of his most understated and underrated performances), Safar, Aan Milo Sajana, the cult Haathi Mere Saathi and Andaz, the once-in-a-lifetime Anand, Kati Patang, Maryada, Dushmun, Amar Prem, Daag, Anuraag, Namak Haram (despite the subtle post-Zanjeer change in the Rajesh Khanna-Amitabh Bachchan equation), Roti (a home production), Premnagar, Aap Ki Kasam, Ajnabee and Prem Kahani - Khanna packed a stunning box-office punch of 22 more jubilee hits! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrik88music (talk • contribs) 19:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Quotes by actress Mumtaz and music director Pyarelal about Khanna

Mumtaz 'We were a lucky pair!' “Rajesh Khanna was a star who made a lot of difference to my career. In seven years from Do Raaste to Prem Kahani we starred in eight major hits but no flops! Show me a single lead pair with this record - even Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol have done only five hits. “Yes, we were considered a very lucky pair. Rajesh Khanna was a good and very professional co-star but not very outgoing. He was always very reserved and had few friends. He would usually report late on the sets, but he would never leave without completing his work.

“We first shot for Do Raaste and Bandhan. Both films were being made simultaneously, and he was a struggling hero. But after they were released he became a superstar, a Phenomenon as he was known. I think no one has seen the success the guy has seen, with a line of cars of his producers and hysterical fans outside his bungalow every day. He would be very generous with his associates, and would party a lot. As an actor, he was very good, and I particularly want to mention his performances in Aradhana, Anand, Dushmun and Roti.

I was always secure with Rajesh Khanna. Nobody could replace me. Though Sharmila did give a couple of hits with him, it didn’t really bother me. No actress, not even Sharmila could threaten me. When I gave up films, Rajesh and I were the topmost pair. He felt very lost when I quit films." I was no patch on Rajesh Khanna. He was a phenomenon and I was like her chamchi," giggles Mumtaz. "I teased him a lot and he always called me moti, as I was generally on the plump side. I attended his weeding too. After his marriage, I got married. At that time, I was doing Aap ki Kasam, Roti and Prem Kahani. I completed these films and then got married. I didn’t leave any of my producers in lurch." my friendship with Rajesh Khanna was also misunderstood. He was my neighbour and we got along very well. I would pull his leg and tease him about his fan following. Whenever Rajesh entered a hotel in Madras, there was a queue of 600 girls waiting to see him at midnight! As a result, even I would get some importance, as people would ask for my autograph as well," laughs Mumtaz. --from http://www.angelfire.com/celeb/mumtaz/memories.html

Pyarelal Incidentally, he had a stake in Mehboob Ki Mehndi too. He had great interest in music and a terrific sense of melody too. His music is dominated by Pancham (R.D.Burman) and us .When we went on our first overseas concert tour in 1984, he came and danced to three songs. He was very particular about his music and would take a tape home if he could not assess a song. He would then give his feedback after a day or two. But if he liked a song at the sitting, he would loudly shout “Wah! Wah!” in appreciation. After he heard the mukhda of Mere dil mein aaj kya hai from Daag he stopped us from making him listen to the first antara and told Yash (Chopra)ji that it would be a hit!

changes in paras please make them in khanna article using the best words

Established as a popular protagonist, he appeared in many romantic, melodramatic and social films, forming legendary romantic pairs with actresses namely Sharmila Tagore,Mumtaz,Asha Parekh,Hema Malini and Tina Munim in the seventies.His pairing with Shabana Azmi,Smita Patil and Poonam Dhillon proved to be very lucky to him in the eighties.

Rajesh Khanna joined the film industry after winning an All India Talent Contest through a nation-wide selection procedure. He made his film debut in the 1966 film Aakhri khat, followed by Raaz opposite heroine Babita, but neither was a major success. He was noticed for his performance in his next film Baharon Ke Sapne which was followed by box office successes like Aurat (1967) ,Aradhana and Ittefaq. It was Aradhana that catapulted him to instant fame and established him as the first superstar of Indian Film Industry.In that film, Rajesh Khanna was cast in a double role (father and son) opposite Sharmila Tagore and Farida Jalal.The film also saw the resurgence of Kishore Kumar, who eventually became the official playback voice of Rajesh Khanna.

this is how above para should look like. also i think english can be improved by using better words as suggested by youShrik88music (talk) 20:09, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Rajesh Khanna article

Hello again. I'm fine over here, thank you. I did try to explain on your talk page why I will not be making any substantive edits to these articles. Maybe you'd like to read my explanations again. Then you may like to use the article's talk page to develop collaborative authoring with the others who know something about this subject, as I suggested. Best wishes, Hebrides (talk) 21:38, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Rajesh khanna

I have created a seperate page Rajesh Khanna Filmography. iam not aware as to how it should be edited that there would be 6 columns Year,Film,Role,Actress,Director,Other Notes. i wil ,by myself manage to fill up all details ,if u dont have time but just create that page with those 6 columns atleast.

if you would be able to fill up the 3columns actresses,year,role with help of the already created filmography by me at present it would be great. gradually i will fill the other 3 columns roles,other notes,director.Shrik88music (talk) 19:31, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello again, Shrik88music, and thanks for getting in touch. I've had a go at reformatting Rajesh Khanna Filmography into a table – see what you think. The third column needs you to sort it out because it is sometimes names, sometimes comments. All the data is just copied from your original page – there is nothing new I've added. I decided to do a “sortable” table – click on the little square things in the column headings and it will sort on that column. That means you can get the films alphabetical, or in year order, etc.

It didn't take long to do, as I automated the reformatting process. I moved the old bulleted list to the article's talk page in case you want to refer to it. Hope that's what you had in mind. Best regards — Hebrides (talk) 21:03, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

thanks i would have taken much much longer time i suppose and why for these many days you ere not at all responding.ya i was busy so was not much involved in this article...... 1)i think in notes for time being besides the film name -- the award won by khanna and the nominations he got for the film can be added taking help from the article as put by me in wikipedia. 2) the films released in same year should be bracketed upon simultaneously..... like in this artilce http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Rajinikanth_filmography.. 3) one more column named "Name of Character"/"Role" needs to be added next to the film column Shrik88music 4) why in filmographies category --- the page created by us is appearing under K ...it should appear under R

Shrik88music (talk) 18:36, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

You can find details about tables at Help:Wikitable – or try clicking Edit on the page you want to model it on, and look at the codes – you will see how a particular effect is achieved. Let me know how you get on.

As for (4) it's the DEFAULTSORT line that makes sure it's sorted by surname like all the others are. — Hebrides (talk) 18:47, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Rajesh khanna

i have provided 68 references for the article rajesh khanna in the wikipedia. i need ur help to make it semi protected so that unregistered users do noit edit it at first place. also to my knowledge all sources are mostly from newspapers,magazines,big box office dotcoms, movie websites,interviews by stars. but some registered users are indulging in vandalism...simply editing the artcile. if at all by mistake some blog reference is there i request that these registered users be made to understand that they are facts and if at all references need to be added freshly in place of that(blog reference ) then that reference be given and not that the para /sentence e be delete

i need ur help in finding is that really there are any unrelaible source in the artcile i contributed? i know that all the 68 r relaible and if any are unrelaible then i request that as what i have submitted is fact so new relaible source can be inserted and scentences may not be deleted.Shrik88music (talk) 19:30, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

That is very good that you have found so many sources. I've tried to help by converting them to citation format, including the title, publisher, date, etc. I also removed the tag about adding references.

As for protection, it's no good asking me. I'm only a humble editor like you, and have no more powers than you have. I just do a bit of editing here and there, and have gained a bit of experience by reading some of the Manual of Style, and by making mistakes and being corrected by other editors. I can't protect anything. Sorry :(

Thanks for all your hard work, and the work put into the filmography. Best regards, — Hebrides (talk) 19:47, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Just realised I didn't answer your comment on reliability. For what it's worth, the tool I used for filling in references picked out www.mid-day.com/specials/2009/jan/040109-RD-Burman-15th-death-anniversary-Rajesh-Khanna-reminiscing-Play-Bollywood-Playback-Singers.htm (WebCite, opens without leaving) with a message: "WARNING : Blacklisted title (My friend RD Burman)". Does that mean anything to you? — Hebrides (talk) 19:53, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

nothing to do with me... but that article also gives some reference about freindship and work done by rajesh khanna and rdburman together. its a relaible siteShrik88music (talk) 12:31, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

i have added again few sources after checking whether they are relaible references. olease go thru them . now there are 75 references as proof .. may be u will be able to help by converting them to citation format, including the title, publisher, date, etc. Hope u help. Shrik88music (talk) 19:09, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

I did that. I just used Reflinks at http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/view/Reflinks – it is something you can use if you like. You just put the page name in, and it goes through and looks up all the webpages and fills in the details. — Hebrides (talk) 19:42, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
