Earlier the information was provided about his 35 Golden Jubilee Hits in 69-75, 35 more G.J.H in 79-91 and 3 G.J.H in 76-78 and that he gave 22 silver jubilee hits in 1966-1991. Reference was http://www.thejetnewspaper.com/subpages.php?ID=1049#.UAdpdGH5Djc. I request you to add the info giving due regards to copyright issues.Onceshook1 (talk) 15:27, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I'd rather not use such terms unless I see a more verifiable source. Provide a better source please. Lynch7 18:02, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Info on Khanna's foster parents

Chunni Lal Khanna and Leela Wati Khanna are the names of Khanna's parents and his father had settled in Gali Tiwarian in the city of Amritsar after migrating from Pakistan before 1940. References are http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/The-glow-on-the-face-of-young-Rajesh-Khanna-revealed-his-career/articleshow/15031964.cms. and http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_relatives-remember-rajesh-khanna-in-his-birthplace-amritsar_1716655.Onceshook1 (talk) 03:49, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you! Lynch7 09:42, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

hi, since the actor had died,will it be good to use movie screenshot. Thank You -25 CENTS VICTORIOUS^☣ 10:56, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

One for the infobox is fine, but two is too much, unless the image itself is very special by itself. Read the relevant section in WP:NFC Lynch7 11:03, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

• Adding deletion tag,just because you do not like the image is totally kind of discrimination.Don't you think? Even though i'd tried to give some analogous reasons,why it shouldn't get deleted.Please visit the discussion if possible.Thank You -25 CENTS VICTORIOUS^☣ 16:40, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

For me, it doesn't matter; all we need is a decent picture of Mr. Khanna, and as long as it isn't some weird and obscure look, anything is fine. Lynch7 12:13, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

GOCE July drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors July 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up Participation: Out of 45 people who signed up this drive, 31 have copy-edited at least one article. Lfstevens continues to carry most of the weight, having edited 360 articles and over a quarter of a million words already. Thanks to all who have participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, will be available early in August here. Progress report: We are once again very close to achieving in our primary goal—removing the oldest three months from the backlog. Only 35 such articles remain at press time. The total backlog currently sits at under 2400 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We are just two articles away from completing all requests made before July 2012 (both are in progress). Copy Edit of the Month: Starting in August, you'll be able to submit your best copy-editing work for palaver, praise, and prizes. See here for details. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

July 2012 Newsletters!

	WikiProject IPL's Monthly newsletter (July, 2012)
Current updates: The coordinator elections will be held soon! Keep your eyes on our project in mid-August for more. Chennai Super Kings was selected as the FA/GA of the month, but due to lack of contributors to the article, we could not pass it as a GA. We're looking forward for contributors who are interested in the topic. The only problem with the article is to fix it's references and cite more reliable sources. If you do a lot of referencing work, you're most welcome! An IRC meetup was held to discuss future plans of the project and to discuss ideas for new articles. Seven editors were a part of it. The log of the meeting can be founded here. We hope that more such meetups will talk place. Our portal was launched early this month. You can find it here. We congratulate our vice-coordinator, Vibhijain, for working on this. Users are welcome to suggest new ideas to re innovate the portal and make it more customized. We also have a book, Book:Indian Premier League. Knights of IPL, a new award, has been launched. It was earlier known as IPL barnstar 1.

GOCE mid-drive newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive mid-drive newsletter Participation: Out of 37 people signed up for this drive so far, 19 have copy-edited at least one article, about the same as the last drive. If you've signed up but haven't yet copy-edited any articles, every bit helps; if you haven't signed up yet, it's not too late. Join us! Progress report: We're almost on track to meet our targets for the drive. Great work, guys. We have reduced our target group of articles—August, September, and October 2011—by about 44%, and the overall backlog has been reduced by 58 articles so far, to around 2600 articles. The biggest difference between this drive and the previous one is a stronger focus on large articles, so total word counts are still comparable. Don't forget about the Copy Edit of the Month contests! Voting for the August contest has been extended through the end of the month. You don't have to make a submission to vote! August 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is in the discussion and voting stage until midnight September 30 (UTC).
