A request to edit pages

Hello...I am Revathi Joshua from Kerala currently settled in Seattle. I have been checking out Wikipedia since I was a kid, and few of the unnoticed things go on as: people write all false things and fake stories about movies and even, celebrities. I, now as a legal account-holder, is requesting you, to please permit me to edit them. Thanking you, yours sincerely... Revathi Joshua Revathijoshua (talk) 10:07, 6 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Revathijoshua, feel free to edit but the template you used is for adding content to a protected page. You did not specify what content to add so   Not done. Soham 10:43, 6 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Lost in translation

The translation. Calling the director, Punit Malhotra, a racist is a gross violation of Biographies of living people policy. I watched the film a few days back so know why the title is so. Dia (Kareena Kapoor Khan) is known as gori-behn (White sister in gujrati) in Jhumli, a village on MaharashtraGujrat border. In your love, my fair belle is the figurative translation of the title and not the word-by-word one. Translation is done for global readers and not Indian ones so I request you to undo yourself thus keeping the figurative one. If you disagree please discuss here. Thank you. If TRPoD and हिंदुस्थान वासी joins us, the discussion might be more productive and we can reach a conclusion faster. Soham 16:27, 6 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Oh! I forgot to mention that you have reverted five times, violating Wikipedia's rule on backing-and-frothing. So talking now would be better than to edit. Soham 16:29, 6 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
I am just going by the google translate, but given the contention we should not include it without a reliable source supporting whichever version we decide to include. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:41, 6 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
I am a native Hindi(Khariboli)speaker and i can tell you Gori only means 'white' or 'fair' when it used individually but when it used like that(in title)it means a beautiful woman.Hindust@nit@lk 16:35, 10 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
