Many errors

The latest change to this page contains numerous factual errors. Examples include:

  • "born Mahjabeen Begum" - actually born Mahjabeen Bano [1]
  • "Meena Kumari was the third daughter of Ali Baksh and Iqbal Begum" - actually was the second daughter [2]
  • "Irshad and Madhu were her two elder sisters" - Khursheed was her elder sister and Mahaleka@Madhu was her younger sister [3] [4]
  • "Her father, a Shia Muslim" - he was a Sunni Muslim [5] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luview (talk • contribs) 14:54, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have changed her birth name from Mahjabeen Begum to Mahjabeen Bano. Regarding the other changes you want to be made, it would've been easier if you could specify the pages from the book you cited as a reference. Malayala Sahityam (talk) 18:25, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Minakumari.jpg

Image:Minakumari.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indian English?

"she herself was on a road to gradual ruin," swelling her debts" "people flocked to see it," "top-notch actress" etc, the language used here and in some Wikipedia articles about things related to India is perhaps Indian English? Like...'Bespattered with hackneyed idiom, sad flowers amongst simplistic prose, the overall effect is of a bygone day, that no modern encyclopedia subsumes'. (Sorry to be cruel. My English is awful.)--Timtak (talk) 17:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Who is Rev Bill

There is a line on this page but after her husband, Rev Bill's death, This appears to have been taken from http://cinemaa.indya.com/nostalgia/meena_kumari.html as most of the content of the page. Appears to be unreferenced content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.198.187.6 (talk) 14:35, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grammatical error

Under the heading "Relationship with Kamal Amrohi", please make a change in the first line from "...15 years elder than..." to "...15 years older than...". Basically a grammatical error. Nadsat71 (talk) 11:20, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Did Meena Kumari Have Deformed Fingers?

I saw an online claim that, like the modern Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan, Meena Kumani had abnormalities involving at least one hand. In her case it was supposedly carefully concealed in her movie scenes. If true, this might be a partial explanation for her increasing feelings of isolation and sadness, since in her day such abnormalities were cruelly mocked. If anyone has reliable sources, they should be included in the article. Younggoldchip (talk) 16:38, 30 June 2014 (UTC) Younggoldchip (talk) 16:38, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

During an accident in Mahabaleshwaram on 21st May 1951, Meena Kumari's lower bone of her left hand pinky was fractured in a way that it remained tilted throughout her life. This fact was moreover confirmed by her stepson Mr.Taajdar Amrohi, who was very fond of his step mother or 'Chhoti Ammi' मीना कुमारी (talk) 12:19, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 17 January 2017

The section titled "The Poetess Naaz" is improperly delimited. As a result, the entire Legacy section appears italicized. Could you look into this? 223.186.45.94 (talk) 12:29, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Partly done - I don't see it in italics - it was indented from the left hand margin, which I corrected by closing the blockquote - Arjayay (talk) 12:49, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
