Hello @R'n'B, I hope you're doing well. I came across your edit on Dil Diyaan Gallaan. I found out their are 2 people who're acting in Indian television, Abhishek Sharma (born 1985) known for Hero – Gayab Mode On and Abhishek Sharma (born 1990) known for Nimki Mukhiya (TV series) both most recently worked in above shows. So in Dil Diyaan Gallaan we need to include 1985 birth, Abhishek. But I couldn't find any source which states birthday or birth year, sorry. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 16:23, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

RussBot
Bonjour, Your Bot RussBot has renamed a category incorrectly: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Monuments_and_memorials_in_Brest,_France. It is important to differentiate between Brest in France and other Brest (like Brest-Litovsk). S. DÉNIEL (talk) 08:08, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message S. DÉNIEL, but this bot does not rename any categories; it only follows redirects created by other users. Please see https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Monuments_and_memorials_in_Brest,_France&action=history. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:22, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
