Namaskara Sir, regarding your edit to Deepika Padukone, I do not think twitter links are accepted as external links, even though they may be verified. See WP:TWITTER for more on this. Do contact me on my talk page if I am wrong somewhere. Good day. MakingTheMark •^{Wassup doc?} 15:33, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Hidden references

Hi Halemane. I'm not sure where you get the idea that non-editors don't care about the references. Either way, there is a consensus on Wikipedia not to hide content in this way. See Template:Reflist/doc#Perennial suggestions and MOS:SCROLL. mgiganteus1 (talk) 14:43, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Archive

Hey, just a small suggestion. Instead of deleting older posts from the talk page, you could consider archiving them., so that they can be used for future reference. One of the automated ways to do that can be found here. Have a good day! TheMike •^{Wassup doc?} 17:17, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Proposal for the Creation of an Animation Barnstar

Hi, Halemane. I noticed that you are a member of the Animation WikiProject and wanted to share a proposal with you. There have been several times that I have wanted to award an Animation Barnstar to a fellow editor, only to be disappointed that one still doesn't exist. The closest thing that we have right now is the Film Barnstar, but this is only applicable in certain situations, since animation can be found in both film and television. I would like to see an Animation Barnstar become a reality; especially since one already exists for the sub-topic of Anime and Manga. In order for this to become official though, a consensus will have to be reached.

If this is something that you would be interested in supporting, then please let me know on my talk page, as I am sending this message to all of the members of the Animation WikiProject and will not be adding each editor's talk page to my watchlist.

I am also looking for someone who would be able to provide a design for the barnstar. If you have any ideas for this, then please do not hesitate to share them with me. :) --Jpcase (talk) 02:09, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Plot descriptions cannot be copied from other sources, including official sources and IMDb, unless these can be verified to be public domain or licensed compatibly with Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of Beti (2018 film)

The article Beti (2018 film) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No reviews found, tagged for notability since December 2019. Seems to fail WP:NFILM.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
