Arrival to U.S.

I'm just curious, when did Ranveer Singh come to the United States? This Open Magazine reference says; "JUST BEFORE he turned 20, Ranveer Singh found himself performing to a classroom packed with college students in the US." Does that mean he arrived in Indiana Bloomington just before turning 20 or he was in Indiana longer before that? And basic math means he was in Indiana for three years? Seeing as how he graduated in 2008. If anyone could fill me in on that, that'd be great. Also, why did he choose Indiana University Bloomington? Is it cause the Indiana name is almost the same as his home country? Choclair (talk) 06:05, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change request: He is not an Established actor

Under the career section, one heading says "Established actor (2015-2019)".

I wish to change it to "Commercial success and acclaim (2015-2019)".

Because RS is not an established actor, as it is a term used for a decorative actor who has achieved consistent success over a very long period of time. Furthermore, it is a term used for someone who has nothing to prove anymore. Basically, it is professional sounding synonym for "a legend". While RS did achieve commercial and critical acclaim during this phase, he only delivered 4 successes in a span of 5 years, and since then his career is already on decline.

Note: I did make this change as an authorized editor but user User:Krimuk2.0 engaged in an edit war with me. I tried to engage with him but he refused. Eventually, he deleted our conversation from his talk page and sent me a cut-paste warning that I will be banned if I keep changing his edits. I tried to convince him to engage in a discussion again but he did not respond. All evidence is on my talk page. Parminder Sarwara (talk) 05:47, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We follow what sources say. Your (or my) opinions are irrelevant. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 05:50, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, so you finally learned to respond? Terrific. I will read the article and get back to you in a minute. Parminder Sarwara (talk) 05:57, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I've said before, I'm not interested in engaging with fan boys of a particular actor who want to demean other actors. And if you're reading, try and read how WP:CONSENSUS needs to be formed thorough WP:RFC. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:00, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"I'm not interested in engaging with fan boys of a particular actor who want to demean other actors."

This basically translates to: I have judged you and I think (from my own subjective POV) that you are a bad person, so I "refuse" to engage with you with an open mind. That is, until you will post about it on RS's talk page, then I will respond under 5 minutes.

And to answer your biasedness, I do not wish to demean RS or anybody else. RS is one of my favorite actors and that is why I am so passionate about the subject in the first place. But then again, that is irrelevant in a facts based discussion. Parminder Sarwara (talk) 06:13, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, and you still haven't read about WP:CONSENSUS and WP:RFC I assume? And neither do you care about what sources say. But yes, sure, go on and treat Wikipedia like Twitter, and keep ranting. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Its interesting how quickly you're responding right now.

I am reading them, I am not a machine. I never even said that I am the most intelligent man on god's earth, I just wanted to have a discussion. And BTW, if u had read these before me, why didn't you reach out and tried to inform me about them earlier? Let me guess, because earlier you were sitting on your high horse and couldn't respond. Parminder Sarwara (talk) 06:23, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm very interesting on my high horse. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:28, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uhhh... you're not actually, it was a roast. XD Parminder Sarwara (talk) 06:37, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, we have both been petty towards each other enough, let us be bygones be bygones and focus on the main subject.

I read the instructions and according to them, I am supposed to reach out to the user I disagree with and if it doesn't solve the issue, then I am supposed to discuss it on the talk page. So far, I have done everything right.

Regarding the sources you have provided, I read them and although they do use the term "established", context is important. Lets breakdown both:

1. Filmfare:

- It’s just been 8 years since Ranveer Singh made his debut in Bollywood and he already has established himself as one of the leading men in the industry.

It says that he has established himself as a "leading man", it is not the same as being an established actor, a term that has an entirely different meaning. Based on this, we can even agree to change the section heading to "Leading man (2015-2019)", which is not bad actually.

2. Caravan Mag:

- In an industry where young talent often fails to make the leap to established clout, he was striving to cement his place.

- Singh’s dream debut in Band Baaja Baaraat and the critical success of Lootera helped establish him as a good actor before he was tested in more commercially ambitious projects

The first quote implies that he is a rising star who may become an established actor. And the second quote explains that he established himself as a "good actor" through his debut film.

----

And then, there is the factor that the term "Established actor" can be interpreted many ways by the reader as well, which only strengthens my point that it is a bad heading. Parminder Sarwara (talk) 06:41, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're grasping at straws for the heck of it, simply because "your" wording was reverted. Wait for other uninvolved editors to comment. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. Let's wait for others. Parminder Sarwara (talk) 07:14, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
