Talk:Amitabh Bachchan

Samrat.bose 23:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)The part which deals with Amitabh Bachchan's health (myasthenia gravis) is filled with factual errors. It says: "Later, he was struck with an illness called Myasthenia Gravis. This happened either because of the heavy medication that he took during his Coolie accident or because of the blood transfusion that he had received." Myasthenia gravis is a disorder where there is a problem at the junction of the nerve and muscle. Certain types of proteins at such places block the uptake of important chemicals causing the muscle to tire easily. People with myasthenia find it difficult to do things which cause the muscle to tire. For example, they find it difficult to carry on repeatative movements, or the patient may be unable to comb his hair beyond a certain time. Myasthenia is usually not known to be caused by the reasons cited. A drug called penicillamine (not to be confused with the antibiotic penicillin) can cause a similar problem, but it is not something one would have as "heavy medication" as cited. Some other drugs may exacerbate the problem in someone who already has myasthenia, but would not cause it.

Total cruft

This article is total cruft. I have replaced dozens of non-RS cites with {{fact}}. If it is not addressed pronto, I will be blanking large parts of the article. We cant have an article full of OR with {{fact}} tags sitting on every sentence for eternity. Sarvagnya 04:20, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

By saying "total craft", you don't really give a genuine reason and you didn't give. You're just quickly removing sites which names seem to be unreliable. I want you to come with every source HERE and say why it's unreliable. According to what? I had a read through WP:RS. No indication is given to your claim that box office india, bollyvista.com (which are used in featured articles, and can do NOTHING with that) etx are unreliable.

I definitely agree that blogs, (even bollyspice.com), youtube etc are not reliable, but boxofficeindia is again the official site of box office figures in India so I'm waiting for explanations why it is not.

As for these tags. I want to see explanations and examples that will provide their necessarity:

If you restore the page without discussing, I'll turn to an administrator and we will solve it ASAP with him. Thanks, Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:55, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
