Help!!
Hello, how are you?; I need some help understanding on how disambiguate pages work. I read the wiki article on that, but i still have few issues. I want to create a disambiguate page for the word "Baadshah", which can mean Padishah or Baadshah (1999 film) or Baadshah (2013 film) or say some other page. But now if i want to create this page, should i do it under Baadshah (disambiguation) or under Baadshah. Also a thing to note here is that the wiki page Baadshah redirects to the SRK's film, and there are still links to that page. I tried reading on this topic, but i am little confused. If you have created such pages before or if you have knowledge on this, then please let me know. Thanks for the help. Rock on!! - Krzna (talk) 03:31, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, i`m fyn, thnx & how r u?, Its obvious u can create the page Baadshah (disambiguation) or if u want to create [[Baadshah]], which redirects to Baadshah (1999 film), the redirect has to be deleted. I have already nominated the redirect for deletion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 July 16. Lets see for the result of the discussion, it may be deleted or if not proceed with Baadshah (disambiguation). For future reference please see WP:REDIRECT#CRD. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 10:04, 16 July 2012 (UTC).
- I am doing good, thanks. Yea, I'll wait till the decision is made on the redirect and create the page then. Thanks for the help and time!! - Krzna (talk) 18:26, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- U r welcome regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 19:07, 16 July 2012 (UTC).
- The solution for the problem is, "just to over-write the article Baadshah, there is no need to delete it;" regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 17:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC).
- Thanks a lot for the help. I am a bit busy this week, will do when i get some free time. Or if you have some free time to spare, you can help by creating the page. Again, thanks - Krzna (talk) 18:08, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I edited The Dark Knight Rises with this below text and link. ifilmish.com says On the whole “ARISE” is full of rise-factors.Don't miss watching it for second time.[1] I want to add it in the said page in the category of Reception.so i sent you a request.Is it possible to add?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donorvicky (talk • contribs) 04:28, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hey, first and foremost, u should keep in mind when using talk page, when u start a discussion or new topic make a new section by going to a new line and typing a title like this: == Heading ==, replacing "Heading" with a suitable title for the topic you wish to raise at the end of the page. You can also use the tab labeled "new section", at the top of a talk page, which performs these steps automatically. For more info see for more info see Help:Using talk pages. Yeah, u can add only if it is a notable or a reliable source, But i don`t think it is. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 05:09, 22 July 2012 (UTC).

are you the author of billa 2. I find the article heavily biased. looks like it is written by a fanatic fan of the so called actor. and fyi, I don't believe in being a fanatic fan of any actor. so you don't have to assume that I support any actor. those who do self praise, deliver punch dialogues and gimmicks are not actors - such as this ajith, vijay and sombhu...and many more in hindi, telugu and karnataka.
there are actors who really perform, act and portray the character. so please don't create biased articles.
did this movie really make 90 crores, where did u get that info? what is the source? did u verify, if that source is correct?....wikipedia is becoming a garbage can becos of you people. I could have edited this article. but I did not, as I don't want to get into this filthy act.
try to be a responsible human being, esp when you create public article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ermalai (talk • contribs) 13:21, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hey, hey! i`m neither the "author" nor the creator of the article. The article being written biased or in a fan point of view has got nothing to do with me as i didn`t write a single word in the article. I just revert any vandalistic, unsourced and unconstructive edits. I have tagged the source with Template:Verify credibility which u r talking abt, u can also do it where ever if u doubt its credibility. U too should be more responsible, when u talk.
- u should keep in mind when using talk page, when u start a discussion or new topic make a new section by going to a new line and typing a title like this: == Heading ==, replacing "Heading" with a suitable title for the topic you wish to raise. You can also use the tab labeled "new section", at the top of a talk page, which performs these steps automatically.
- And more importantly You should sign and date your contributions on all talk pages. To do this easily, type four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comment, or just click the signature button on the row of buttons above the edit box. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 14:58, 23 July 2012 (UTC).

Deleting false Info from my Wiki Page (but reappears?!)
Hi Dragon Booster, This is Richa, and I keep a close watch on the content that goes up on my wiki page but after having removing untrue content several times, it has come to my attention that someone repeatedly puts them back up. Especially when it comes to my filmography, which I would know best, as i AM the primary source! Please help me in understanding how I can edit my page by removing false content (ie 2 films which I wish to REMOVE from my filmography as I am not doing them),and changing the main display pic. I am not sure about why I would have to give any citation for films im NOT doing...so simply removing the content and saving changes should technically be enough. Thanks and appreciate your response. Richa Gangopadhyay — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richa320 (talk • contribs) 06:05, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, Thank you for your contributions ! wait... wht? are u telling me that u r Richa Gangopadhyay?? ah..i don`t believe !!!. ok whtever..coming to the context, as a matter of fact i am the one who was reverting ur edits (see history of the page for explanations and my messages on ur talkpage), there are some rules and regulations && policies and guidelines that every one should abide by.
- For some content to be added it should be supported by reliable sources and for some content to be deleted it should be first discussed on article's talk page. Regarding the change of the picture, Uploading images to Wikipedia is a matter of clearly establishing that the copyright status and licensing. Images uploaded that fail to meet the criteria specified by Wikipedia WILL be promptly removed. So, if u upload a file of fair use designation (i`m sure u can, if u r the Richa Gangopadhyay), u can change it. For any further reference see Wikipedia:Uploading images, Wikipedia:Image use policy.
- And lastly Make sure sign and date your contributions on all talk pages, To do this easily, type four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comment. and for more info see Help:Using talk pages. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 06:40, 22 July 2012 (UTC).
- Yes I am Richa Gangopadhyay but more importantly, i need your help in fixing some of the info on my wiki page (like the so called 'reliable sources' which are not in fact reliable and present false info). Since I'm a bit new to this whole Wiki editing thing, could I please request you to contact me on official.richag@gmail.com so I can personally ask you to remove some things from my filmography? there are currently 2 films listed there which I am not a part of, and there have in fact been 'reliable sources' to support that I'm not actually doing those projects. but in order to delete content, i'm not sure what I must do. why would i need to discuss my own news on a 'talk page' when I would myself know whether it's true or not? It's just a bit odd. Regarding the change of picture, I am not really sure about the exact procedure, which is why I went through all the trouble to write to you for help in the first place! (if you have any doubts, I have no issues proving my identity. My twitter acct is official as well- @richyricha, and I respond frequently on that as well.) I just would like to know how/where I would upload a new picture file? Some step-by-step directions would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Richa
Richa320 (talk) 15:49, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- I think u hav figured the way to upload a image. anyway the process is : open any wikipedia page u see Upload file at the left of the page under the Toolbox, click the Upload file which redirects u to a page where u see Click here to Start the Upload Form clicking on the link would produce a form, fill the form, thats all ! And what are the films that 'Richa' is not a part of? If i find any sources that she dropped out of the films or something; i would delete them myself, or if u find a source, u can do it by stating the source in the Edit summary ! regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 17:35, 31 July 2012 (UTC).

Changes to Pranab Mukherjee
I wasn't testing. Just wasn't aware of the "no Indic script" in the first lead line. :) Seems to be a weird consensus given the huge linguistic diversity of Indians. Anyway, don't have time to debate the consensus. Someone re-added the Bangla script back on the page in the first line. As per the consensus, where is the name in native script supposed to go? 173.248.251.161 (talk)
- ah..I must have been too judgmental, bcoz very few Ip edits would be constructive. So, I now officially and formally welcome U.... yeah, there is huge linguistic diversity , International Phonetic Alphabet system is supposed to be used instead of Indic scripts, which is more standardized representation and effective transcription. And i just removed the Bangla script from the page. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 18:08, 6 August 2012 (UTC).
- Haha... thanks. I'm actually a bit of a retiree, who tries to pitch in small additions. Anyway, it goes back to my previous question: so, where, according to the consensus, should native script transcription and pronunciation be placed? Or, is there also a consensus that no native script should be used at all for India-related articles. IPA is not a substitute for, e.g., the Bangla script here. Right? In this case, it's particularly interesting because the IPA scheme used here does not represent how Mr Mukherjee's name would be pronounced in his native tongue either. (I am not sure what the IPA represents.) That's partly why I had put the transcription as well as the transliteration scheme to give an approximate pronunciation in his native tongue. :) 173.248.251.161 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:44, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
- Well, for the info, IPA phonetic symbols can be used to transcribe any one language in the world, which can also clearly distinguish different dialects of a particular word. Also IPA serves as an effective and standardized transcription that anyone from any nativity, who knows the notation can easily pronounce the word of any language. So, the Indic scripts won`t be necessary in the articles. Do u know the notation well? u claim that IPA does not represent the exact pronunciation of Mukherjee's name, then u free to correct it..if u r good enough. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 22:06, 10 August 2012 (UTC).

clarity better for newbies
I just effectively reversed your not-so-recent edit (you used bot AutoEd) of an article link that replaced "wikiquote" with "q". I like to keep things comfortable for newbie editors, and "wikiquote" is easier to understand than "q". Where inconsistencies abound, fixing is appropriate because sloppiness gives a bad signal for subsequent editing, and fixing should favor clarity of commands (e.g., "Disambiguation" rather than "dab" unless avoiding redirection requires otherwise). This is my opinion; I don't know how much other editors agree with it. Nick Levinson (talk) 16:57, 7 August 2012 (UTC) (Italicized: 17:03, 7 August 2012 (UTC))
- Hey; Thats what the AutoEd does. It Cleans up and simplifies. My View:: fixing may not always favor clarity of commands, the execution or the outcome is important. Anyway it is a minor edit so, doesnot make any a big difference if reverted the edit. Btw, can u be more specific abt which article u r talking abt? regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 22:25, 10 August 2012 (UTC).
- Matriarchy is what I restored to ((here's the diff)). Thanks for the thought. Nick Levinson (talk) 16:01, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
- U r welcome, and pls keep up the Gud work regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 16:54, 11 August 2012 (UTC).

Cinema Of Andhra Pradesh
Could you please add this article to your watch list ?
User:Vensatry and User:Secret of success have been involved in constantly writing this article in a biased way favoring Tamil cinema and trying to hide Telugu cinema's achievements.
The user User:Vensatry has removed Indian cinema link from the See also section where it clearly states that Telugu cinema is second largest; in an effort to show that Tamil cinema is India's second largest. They both managed to block User:pavn123 because he persisted on making corrections which state Telugu film industry to be second largest in the country.
Also they have been deleting User:Nandhakishore's valid editing with legitamate citations.

Some interesting observations of Ramanujam - Hardy Number " 1729 ".
The number 1729 is called the Ramanujam - Hardy Number. The unique characteristic of this number is that it is the SMALLEST number which can be expressed as the sum of the CUBES of two different numbers (positive integers) in two ways, namely 12 and 1, as well as 10 and 9. [Though the number 2 is also the sum of the cubes of the digit 1 taken twice, the digits are identical (one and the same)]. 1729 can also be expressed as the sum of the SQUARES of three different numbers SETS : These are [39, 12, & 8]; [37, 18, & 6]; [33, 24, & 8]; and [30, 27, & 10]; It can also be expressed as the sum of the SQUARES of four different numbers SETS also. These are : [35, 20, 10, & 2]; [32, 20, 17, & 4]; [32, 20, 16, & 7]; [30, 27, 8, & 6]; [28, 24, 15, &12]; [27, 24, 18, & 10]; and [26, 22, 20, &13] --68.193.2.168 (talk) 19:52, 7 August 2012 (UTC).

- Thnx for sharing the info, for the record i know the Ramunujan-Hardy number & i really like it. I guess the u might have dropped this message in affect of "My Mathematical Stuff" on my userpage. I am working on the number as Ramanujan worked on . Do u feel Math interesting? bcoz i would really appreciate if u come with any properties (other than the ones i specified on my userpage) of the regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 22:46, 10 August 2012 (UTC).

We noticed though that when you edited Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your request for rollback
Hi DRAGON BOOSTER. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 22:41, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
I also gave you reviewer like you requested originally:
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges. A full list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on will be at Special:StablePages.
Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.
See also:
- Wikipedia:Reviewing, the guideline on reviewing
- Wikipedia:Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes
- Wikipedia:Protection policy#Pending changes protection, the policy determining which pages can be given pending changes protection by administrators.

re: Jack Black
I see that you reverted a change made by an IP user on this page regarding the proposed Bailout film. That page has been redirected per WP:CRYSTAL. The movie that the IP user inserted "Epic" is in fact a real film. Just wondering your logic --Mblumber (talk) 21:40, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
- Update- Neither is correct. I'm cleaning it up. Nevermind.--Mblumber (talk) 21:43, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hi.. Mblumber, Infact I noticed the Bailout film redirected to "Michael Winterbottom". But the edit made by Ip that he is the part of the cast of Epic is clearly a false claim. So, I just reverted to last "accepted revision". regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 06:00, 17 May 2013 (UTC).

- Hi.. Dravadianhero. When I said discuss, I meant on the talk page of the subject article. When u open a discussion abt the page move, so tht everyone would get a chance to participate and share their view. Anyways I moved back the page as it were. Pls make sure u open a discussion and wait for people to respond nxt time. Happy editin! regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 21:00, 3 May 2013 (UTC).
- Reading your message, I must admit, it was a pretty bold move. -- Dravidian Hero 21:05, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hey,,, Dravadianhero, Why did u "redirect" instead of moving in the first place??? When i first tried to revert ur edit, I tried to move the page. But I couldn`t as it was in the Blacklist. So, I had to revert ur redirects. But when agreeing with U on WP:COMMONNAME, I reverted to ur version, then there were just two redirects redirecting to each page without the actual article. So, I had to revert the other page also. Finally, two article pages and two talk pages. If u still want the page renamed. U can request for the page move at Wikipedia:Requested moves. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 06:12, 17 May 2013 (UTC).
