Requesting review AFC - Oruththi - List of missing Indian Films edit

Hi Can you please review https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Oruththi It has been more than 3 weeks since the article was created and is in review pending state . It would be great if you can review . Any help on improving the article or suggestions welcome and I am ready to improve . This is an entry in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Film/List_of_films_without_article/List_of_missing_Indian_Films:L-Q#O — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajeevanand (talkcontribs) 07:03, 18 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks , should this be moved from WP:Articles for Creation for it to be created in a easier way ? How do you usually create new articles (just asking to get more information on the process , as you have done lot of work in wikipedia) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajeevanand (talkcontribs) 07:14, 18 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sholay main page edit

I had put it up right after FA and it was rejected. I then asked one of the editors who puts them up and he said he would keep it in mind, but it never happened. Seems hard to get a film article up there. I will try to ping him again, but what do you think needs to be done now, and how could it lose FA? BollyJeff | talk 01:11, 5 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

You and I will notice. It's on my watchlist. BollyJeff | talk 02:12, 5 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Check out this: User:ColonelHenry/FA2013analysis. It seems that the wait can be very long. BollyJeff | talk 00:50, 8 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Do to the timing of the 3D release and a note that I left with this particular editor, I have re-nominated Sholay at WP:TFAR. We will see if it makes it this time, keep your fingers crossed. BollyJeff | talk 01:23, 8 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
It failed to place again, due to too many other films being nominated, and this one not having enough interest/support. What a bummer! Seems we will never see old Indian films on the front page. BollyJeff | talk 14:54, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
I know what you mean. Why should I bother to make any more FAs? They did say that there are 1,320 FA that have yet to make it, so we are not alone. BollyJeff | talk 16:07, 20 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
It appears to be Wikipedia:Today's_featured_article/March_8,_2014. I don't know how that happened, but I am happy. BollyJeff | talk 13:17, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
It is not allowed to have copyrighted pictures on TFA for whatever reason. That's why I changed it from the poster to this. BollyJeff | talk 13:23, 20 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

A barnstar for you! edit

  The Special Barnstar
For making the 1978 Tamil classic Mullum Malarum a GA. Way to go! Vensatry (Ping) 17:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
What next? Nayakan (1987 film), Mouna Raagam or Thalapathi Vensatry (Ping) 17:30, 11 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
Congrats. And sorry for posting my opinions after the GA has been done with. Blame my short break for the delay. -- Sriram speak up 17:46, 11 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Shaku India returns edit

Before the MeA FAC, I asked User:Dr. Blofeld to review the colourisation section, and he did make significant changes, so I assumed that it must be correct now. I don't know what else to do. BollyJeff | talk 13:18, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

I did check and reedited/added content. Venstary or somebody else can still double check if in doubt. But a few errors if possible wouldn't constitute removing an entire section, it's vandalism, clearly.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:23, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply


Dear Bollyjeff and Der Dr BIofeld,

I aver that the edits made by me ( on Mughal-e-Azam) are 100% correct and they have been done after discussions with the authority of the matter i.e. the producers of the film. If I you still feel that my edits are not correct, we can jointly verity it with the producers i.e. Sterling Investment Corp Pvt Ltd ( Shapoorji Pallonji group). I hope you appreciate that it is in the interest of the users of wikipedia that correct information is posted on the site.

I am ready for a joint and open discussion with Sterling Investment Corp Pvt Ltd (Shapoorji Pallonji Group). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaku india (talkcontribs) 12:34, 26 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Gemini edit

Hey man! Can you explain this? Will it be okay if mentioned under 'Box office'? -- Sriram speak up 12:30, 21 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

It says "Do not quote comments from members of the general public (e.g., user comments from Amazon.com, the Internet Movie Database or personal blogs), as they are self-published and have no proven expertise or credibility in the field. Polls of the public carried out by a reliable source in an accredited manner, such as CinemaScore, may be used. Do not include user ratings submitted to websites such as the Internet Movie Database or Rotten Tomatoes, as they are vulnerable to vote stacking and demographic skew." And I don't think I have violated them. Then why? -- Sriram speak up 12:48, 21 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
Take a look at this: Wikipedia:Mos#Linking. During the article's FA review, Bollyjeff decried using links within quotes. -- Sriram speak up 09:44, 25 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Can you do me a favour? There are two articles for Surya Vamsam. Can you group the content in one and make a redirect from the other, thereby merging them? -- Sriram speak up 18:59, 15 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Is there someone you can ask for help in polishing Gemini? -- Sriram speak up 15:10, 18 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Nope. Apart from the GOCE, there is no-one else I know who looks free/interested in doing it. I'll try editing it myself. But are you planning on taking it to TFA anytime soon? If yes, when is a good date? Kailash29792 (talk) 15:32, 18 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
I'll take it to TFA when I'm convinced that the article is truly FA-worthy. -- Sriram speak up 15:54, 18 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

DYK edit

Hi Kailash, congrats for getting the article to GA. Are you willing to take this to the DYK section? We forgot Mullum Malarum after it passed GA! Vensatry (Ping) 03:58, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I keep forgetting your rule, or I am just not able to follow it instinctively. Yes, what fact from Mullum Malarum can be added to DYK? Kailash29792 (talk) 04:32, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
(edit conflict) I was taking about Kalidas, not Mullum Malarum. MM cannot be considered as articles should be nominated with in five days. Vensatry (Ping) 04:34, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
As for the hook, shall I frame it as Kalidas was the first sound film produced in South India or anything as you suggest. Vensatry (Ping) 04:37, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
All right Vensatry, what looks so useful from Kalidas that we can add? That it featured 50 songs, or despite being seen as a Tamil film it featured dialogues in Hindi and Telugu as well? Kailash29792 (talk) 04:39, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
I've nominated the article. You're welcome to come up with more hooks by proposing ALTs. Good luck! Vensatry (Ping) 06:42, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Bhakta Prahalda edit

Hi, the discussion seems to be archived. I suggest you start one more discussion after some time but before that discuss the same at Wikipedia talk:INCINE. Vensatry (Ping) 04:40, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Vensatry: Despite containing more "Support" tags than "Oppose" tags, the move suggestion of Bhakta Prahladha was closed, with the admin claiming "no consensus", even though it was nearly like a Tamil film fight — one man (Marchoctober) taking on several others, unarmed and unsupported. I have opened this matter at the Indian cinema taskforce over here. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:06, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Consensus is not arrived be means of votes. I'll comment at the INCINE talk page. Vensatry (Ping) 05:15, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
You could also add the vernacular sources which I used in the article's talk page. Vensatry (Ping) 05:20, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Consider posting this at WT:INB too Vensatry (Ping) 08:24, 20 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Kochadaiiyaan edit

Is Rajiv Menon really a part of the film? Vensatry (Ping) 06:04, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Vensatry, these sources [1] [2] and [3] state that he is involved in the film. Any reason u believe he is not? Kailash29792 (talk) 06:09, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, there are quite a few good number of old sources. But I cannot find his name anywhere in the teaser or trailer. Vensatry (Ping) 06:11, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
A small piece of advice: You should stop appreciating edits which violate our policies. Vensatry (Ping) 01:50, 12 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hey Kailash mate, how was my C/e of the article?  Soham (talk) 15:19, 13 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I'm busy with some work until May 10, 2014 and would hardly be active. I don't know the exact procedures of image migrations to Wikipedia Commons. If you can, try requesting some other interested user. Arjann (talk) 06:17, 29 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Andha Naal edit

Have you watched this film? Is there any stuff available to expand this article. Vensatry (Ping) 07:46, 22 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Vensatry, I would love to see the film, but I have some data I'll share with u soon. Kailash29792 (talk) 08:53, 22 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Vensatry, here is one page and another from G. Dhananjayan's book, containing data about Andha Naal. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:31, 13 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
This and this also have very useful information. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:50, 13 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hi, do you have any books which has something about the film's production details? Vensatry (Ping) 13:27, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Apart from the Dhananjayan pages, I think I also showed you in this section two pages from Sivaji Ganesan: Autobiography of an Actor that contain details on Andha Naal. And that's all the info I got left. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:32, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Vensatry, I stumbled upon this source that also looks useful. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:53, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the source. It is very informative :) Vensatry (Ping) 17:01, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Also, Andha Naal has turned 60 this year. Sadly, not many news articles mention that :( Kailash29792 (talk) 17:04, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
DO you have this book? Vensatry (ping) 17:20, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Unfortunately I don't, although I have been taking information from it when reading online. At the mall, I read a little of this book that you can use to expand Andha Naal, though I don't have this too. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:31, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Does it ever mention the film? Vensatry (ping) 18:09, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Nope, Selvaraj Velayudham's book does not mention it at all. Just checked. and on May Day, I may visit the mall. I'll search for more info then. Kailash29792 (talk) 18:32, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I don't think this image is in PD. The template says "In case of a photograph, work of cinema, sound recording, anonymous work, or governmental work, it was published more than 60 years ago (that is before January 1, 1954)". However, in case of Andha Naal the film was released only after the specified date (1 Jan 1954). Vensatry (ping) 17:14, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
My bad, I also noticed that much later :) Please feel free to revert the licence to its original form. Bcos the film completed 60 years on 13 April 2014 (I saw the film the same day), I initially thought it was eligible for PD India. And I'm sorry I could not visit any shop today (May 1) for info on Andha Naal (due to the blast at Chennai Central, which shook me) but I do hope the book "Voice Of The Veena: S. Balachander" will have some info on the film. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:20, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Even I'm not very sure about it. Perhaps, we should ask somebody who has a better knowledge over such things. BTW, I've nominated Andha Naal for GA. Vensatry (ping) 17:38, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Well then, I wish you all the best for the GA success. Do hope that no-one starts reviewing the article right away, as it's GOCE editing is yet to happen. Kailash29792 (talk) 19:22, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Vensatry, I snapped some pages from Voice of the Veena: S. Balachander today, that contain info on Andha Naal. They are [4], [5] and [6]. Kailash29792 (talk) 12:30, 5 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

GA edit

Hey! Would you like to review "In My City".—Prashant 05:26, 24 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! for the review. Im happy that you did it so fast. Ill soon review MCU (i have Viva tommorrow, so i cant do it today).—Prashant 14:07, 26 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hey! Shouldn't the talk page have a transclusion of the review? -- Sriram speak up 14:10, 27 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Sriram Vikram: Actually yes, and a bot adds that every time. Don't know what went wrong this time. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:45, 27 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Okay. Why don't you do it yourself? -- Sriram speak up 14:51, 27 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I do have alternatives of deadlinks. Ill add it dont worry. Today ill review MCU. Thanks for your wishes as my viva exam ended with excellent grade.—Prashant 03:18, 28 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

KNI edit

Hey! I always wanted to ask this. Is there a rule preventing the use of slang terms? And one more thing. I remember that when you requested a c/e for Santhosh Subramaniam at GOCE, you had mentioned that the plot should be less than 700 words. While there is a necessity to keep the plot short and brief, there seem to be no such word constraint mentioned here. Could you explain, is it an unwritten rule or just a rule of thumb? -- Sriram speak up 09:57, 30 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Oh...okay. So, it there someway to count the no. of words without doing it manually? And can you tell if the plot summaries are within the specified range in Gemini and KNI? -- Sriram speak up 11:25, 30 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Btw, I have a serious suggestion for you. Can you pls keep the conversations in the same place by replying where it began? Take it as an advice from myself and Vensatry -- Sriram speak up 11:27, 30 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Well, I do accept that 'wannabe' is slang. But, I find no nobility in wanting to be a don or a gangster to consider them as an aspiration and that is the reason why I preferred using 'wannabe'. -- Sriram speak up 11:31, 30 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Sriram Vikram, You can paste the entire plot of any film in MS word, and it will show the total no of words below. As for ur talk page, any ideas of reducing the clutter? Kailash29792 (talk) 11:35, 30 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yup. Will be doing it soon. Am busy with something else right now, my next suprise if I can say so! -- Sriram speak up 11:39, 30 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

The talk page of Hyderabad, a FA, says that the article is written in Indian English. So, why should KNI need British English when Indian English suits better here? -- Sriram speak up 12:06, 30 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Because British and Indian English are not very different from each other, and the GOCE member will know to edit the article in BrE. Kailash29792 (talk) 12:37, 30 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
Kailash, even your page looks cluttered. Try archiving older posts :) Vensatry (Ping) 10:29, 2 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Kamal Suburamaniam isn't famous to be easily notable with a mere mention of his name. I had added the info for the reader to recognise him with his work. I think it needs to be there. -- Sriram speak up 14:37, 16 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Kadhalikka Neramillai edit

I'm not satisfied with the article yet. And, I find myself unable to wait for the c/e to happen. For one, I find the plot section to be vague and that someone who hasn't seen the film won't be able to understand it clearly. Then, the 2nd para under 'Filming'. I strongly feel it needs to be rewritten professionally. Would be glad if someone could do that. I don't think the people at GOCE will do that. -- Sriram speak up 12:29, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

And regarding your last edit, I would like to remind you again... Wikipedia:Mos#Linking. Thanks -- Sriram speak up 12:32, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Sriram Vikram: Well, the plot is less than 700 words and that has not violated WP:FILMPLOT. Did you read the plot given in Dhananjayan's book? If the GOCE member reads the plot from there, then maybe he can edit understandingly and without changing key details. Meanwhile, I'll see what I can do in filming. Kailash29792 (talk) 12:42, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
The article had exactly the same plot as in the book before I edited it. -- Sriram speak up 12:57, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hey! Is that note really necessary? The article isn't really that bad to need a c/e before GA review. It was more of a formality. I have been fine tuning and making minor tweaks here and there. Take Gemini for example. It was copy-edited after the GA review. -- Sriram speak up 05:58, 10 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

After an article is nominated for GA review, normally the nominator has to wait for a month for someone to review the article (Kalidas was among the most unusual cases, because User:Dr. Blofeld reviewed it the day after I nominated, while Thuppakki and Parasakthi took over two months. So within a month, you can expect the CE of KNI to finish, and the note will also keep ppl away from reviewing the article, until removed. Kailash29792 (talk) 06:05, 10 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
I can understand that. But, my doubt is, if someone is ready to review the article, should we really postpone it for the c/e? -- Sriram speak up 06:15, 10 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
"Nobody" will look at the article until the note is removed. If you have an intention of taking KNI to FA, then a post-GA GOCE edit seems legit. Kailash29792 (talk) 06:26, 10 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the images, Yet, how ironical. While the film had an old Balaiah and young Nagesh, the images are the exact opposite.   -- Sriram speak up 03:00, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Is it possible to replace Balaiah's image with Gopu's? I think he deserves more credit. -- Sriram speak up 06:48, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
I'll tell you one thing: Upload an image of Gopu, and make sure it is well licensed. Kailash29792 (talk) 08:15, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
I have uploaded an image but not sure of the license. -- Sriram speak up 08:38, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Please show me the image. All you need to do is, trace the photographer/owner of that image, get written permission from him and add a link to the permission on the file. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:58, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi, can you copy-edit the "Film career" when you find time. Feels a little uncomfortable since it's been a while since I edited biographies. Vensatry (Ping) 09:19, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Vensatry, yes at the moment I'll c/e it. I remember u once asked me for info on Andha Naal. I have a few articles that would be useful. By the end of this week, I promise to share them with you. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:32, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

User:Kailash29792 edit

Hello, thanks to thank my edits. Recently i saw, there was Wiki War for languages. I reverted the languages for Taare Zameen Par, 3 Idiots, Bombay Boys in Hindi. Also, Bombay Boys was a Hinglish film, i kept it Hindi. And one thing, The category and page English-language Indian films must be put for deletion in respect to Hindi language films.

See WP:Sockpuppet investigations/TekkenJinKazama. Also, note the discussion here where RSS claimed you are "sole responsible for Edit war." Amazing how a fairly new editor knows all of this, isn't it? Ravensfire (talk) 14:51, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Chandralekha edit

Hey dude! Is this all that you found worth adding? I think there are more things that can be. FYI, if you take a look at my contribs and the time delay b/w the translation edit and my previous edit, that is the time it took me to translate those contents (which include a 15 min lunch break in b/w).   -- Sriram speak up 15:50, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Okay. Btw, I just wanna remind you, pls. keep the conversations in one place. -- Sriram speak up 16:09, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Ok sorry, I forgot that rule :D You can cut paste it here. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:14, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Its not a rule. It a suggestion and a good one at that. Helps maintain continuity and helps in understanding, even for others who might like to help (like Vensatry) -- Sriram speak up 16:20, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Kailash, as Sriram says it's not a rule. That's the best way to keep conversations together. Having said that, it's not compulsory for those who don't follow the idea. Means, you can have your own way of responding in talk pages as long as others follow a particular rule like mine and Sriram. Vensatry (Ping) 16:49, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Ra.One language edit

Please use the Ra.One talk page to discuss the infobox language parameter. There is already an existing discussion here with several points that may be relevant. Thank you. Ravensfire (talk) 18:00, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Also, please note the number of reverts you've made. You're past 3RR in 24 hours and the edits don't count as WP:VANDALISM so you are at risk of an edit-war block yourself. Use the article talk page, keep pushing the editors to talk and if this continues long enough (as in several more days), I'll probably take them to the edit-war noticeboard as non-communicative edit war, not a 3RR violation. Ravensfire (talk) 18:03, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Also, see this. I'm a bit suspicious about a few things. Probably will just be reverting this person once or twice a day - they don't plan to discuss (obviously). Ravensfire (talk) 18:23, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppet edit

Hey! I might have stumbled upon a possible sockpuppet. I don't know what to do. Can you take a look and do the needful? here Avario and Avario87. Avario was blocked a long time ago. The guy has nominated the article Sally Kellerman for GA. Thanks. -- Sriram speak up 16:44, 9 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sriram Vikram, I have opened a SPI (Sock-Puppetry Investigation) over here. Hope someone responds to it. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:51, 9 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
I can't believe he has been around for more than 4 years and have made 363 edits to article with no one noticing him!! And, a few weeks back, some one has clarified him that the article was far from qualifying for GA. -- Sriram speak up 16:58, 9 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
There's a pretty big backlog, so it may be a couple of days. The name alone is a pretty good clue. There were several years after the original account was blocked and the new one created. The new account has kept a clean block log so far and while not perfect, that's true of more than a few editors. It's not really a clean start as both accounts in the same article, but this may be handled as a WP:STANDARDOFFER with a warning not to continue the actions that got their first account blocked.

Vikram (1986 Tamil film) edit

What could be the genre of the film? Vensatry (Ping) 07:07, 11 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Vensatry, reading the plot, it sounds much like an action thriller film. "Sci-fi" as the lead reads cannot be the genre. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:12, 11 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Well that's right. But I see many sources claiming the film to be a science-fiction. Vensatry (Ping) 07:17, 11 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
I have no idea, because I did not see the film. But science fiction usually refers to films like Star Wars and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which I don't think a 1980's Tamil film could be like. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:29, 11 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
(talk page stalker) It was an investigative film. Definitely not a sci fi! A nuclear weapon which has something to do with 'scientific' and the story being 'fictional' doesn't make it a 'sci fi'. -- Sriram speak up 17:39, 11 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Also @Vensatry: Hey guys! For a long time now, I have been contemplating making another attempt for FA. I just wanna know what you guys feel about it. Shall I just renominate it or does it require some work beforehand? Since the article was copy-edited right after the GA review, the article has been expanded further, even after the FA review stalled. So, I don't know if it could benefit from another c/e or is it good enough just as it is? If no c/e is required, I will nominate it right away. But, I might need you guys to invite people for their comments as I don't know anyone else than you two owing to my limited experience in wiki.

Thanks. -- Sriram speak up 15:24, 13 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

I see that it failed last time mainly due to inactivity. What we need is more participation. Unlike Bollywood, regional cinema isn't that popular in WP at least :) Have a look at the FAC of Pather Panchali for instance. Vensatry (Ping) 15:50, 13 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Sriram Vikram, I would not like to say that Gemini failed, rather it ended abruptly, better to say it was just closed. User Ian Rose would have told you what to do to make sure he succeeds in the future. And Vensatry, did you read the data I gave you abt Andha Naal? Kailash29792 (talk) 16:04, 13 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thats exactly why I need you guys to help. To invite more editors for their comments or rather support. I could invite whoever I know like Soham, LogX and Evano Oruvan, but I'm not sure if that will suffice. -- 16:31, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
Sriram, that alone won't do it. Better to invite editors who are more active at WP:FAC. Though we cannot expect everyone to respond, I'm quite sure that at least some would turn up as most of the editors would be interested in film-related articles. @Kailash29792: Yeah, I read the material. Vensatry (Ping) 17:30, 13 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Okay. So, shall I request a c/e or just renominate for FA? -- Sriram speak up 17:32, 13 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
If you're confident that the prose is upto FA standards, nominate it. Vensatry (Ping) 17:43, 13 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure of it. I believe there is always room for more.   -- Sriram speak up 17:47, 13 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Apoorva Sagodharargal edit

Hi, let me know why you are not uploading the complete poster, but only a slice of it. It looks incomplete. Rajeshbieee (talk) 18:21, 16 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Rajeshbieee, I have no idea what you are talking about. The poster does look complete to me, and no alternative has ever been found so far. Kailash29792 (talk) 18:28, 16 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Kailash, that poster is incomplete, it should have all technician details like director, music director, cameraman etc mentioned somewhere. It look like a 2 piece poster to me and you have only uploaded 1 piece of it.

Help on expanding article edit

I was wondering if you could help me expand the article SPI Cinemas by providing some sources. I have already expanded it to the extent of what I could find. I would be glad if you could help but can understand if you can't. Thanks in advance. Peace! NiRinsanity 20:51, 22 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Nirinsanity, use all that you can from here. Also, it is a search engine, so you search for anything you want. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:46, 23 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Wow, looks pretty good! Thanks a lot! NiRinsanity 08:08, 23 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Nirinsanity, how is the progress going? I have updated the link I mentioned to include more results. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:34, 29 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Actually, I'm a bit busy at the moment and can't help much in expanding articles. Though in a few weeks, I will return to full on editing. And about the page, the link you've updated doesn't seem to be working for me. I can access the site but if I type something in the search field, I don't get any results.

Your de-nomination of Light My Fire edit

I understand why you de-nominated the article, and I want to improve it, so can you tell me the main problems with the article? I'm already trying to fix the Will Young issue (unreferenced section), but I would assume there are other problems with the article. Thank you. Acalycine(talk/contribs) 23:44, 23 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Acalycine, the problems are: there are a few tags in the article, and you have not significantly improved the article before. When an article is nominated for GA, it is expected to be perfect. And only the user who has significantly edited the article is expected to nominate it. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:50, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
What I was asking about was the problems with the article, not my nomination. I've since cleaned up 2 sections and am looking for more problems. Thank you for your concerns. Acalycine(talk/contribs) 04:31, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
Acalycine, there are three things you can do: Fix the dead links, remove/fill the unsourced statements, and try to improve the prose. Then it will look more GA-worthy Kailash29792 (talk) 04:41, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
On it. Thank you. Acalycine(talk/contribs) 04:42, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Archived URLs edit

Hi, it's good that you archive all URLs. But there is no need to include archive URLs for existing webpages in articles. Vensatry (ping) 17:25, 28 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Lekar Hum Deewana Dil edit

Hi. This is a new A. R. Rahman musical film releasing by June-July this year may be. There is no Wikipedia page for it. So either you or some other interested user may create it (may be user Eelamstylez77 or Nirinsanity). Just click on A. R. Rahman discography, under original score, see the film's name and the references itself are the source.

FAR edit

Look, I'm warning you on this, prompt me ever again over a review for something and I'll report it at the FAC. I've been busy with reviews and was going to return to this tonight but I'm really not interested now. I was going to inform the delegate of you hassling me over it three times at least. I really dislike it when somebody keeps hounding me to do something. Please don't do this again.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:24, 11 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

I don't mind you alerting me about a FAC or GAN or prompting me after several weeks or something if I haven't commented. What annoyed me is that you didn't even wait a day before asking again and then only four days had passed and you were making remarks again for me to comment. I hope you're not offended with what I said but I find it difficult enough to engage myself in reviews as it is without people pressuring me.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:00, 13 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Dr. Blofeld, I did not want to annoy you, that is why I did not order you to give new comments on the FAC page. (what else does "anytime you want" mean?) Just wanted a personal opinion which you could have given even outside the FAC page. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:06, 13 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Director's Special (whisky) edit

Hi Kailash. Thanks for reverting the edit on my userpage. Unfortunately, User:Modi.priyansh keeps editing the Director's Special (whisky) article so as to remove content about a court case in which a fly was found in a bottle of DSP whisky. I reverted him twice, and then left a vandalism warning on his talk page. He has added the content again, and I have refrained from reverting due to WP:3RR. He left a message on my talk page where he accuses me of being biased against he brand. Perhaps, you can help with the revert or propose another course of action. Thanks!

Hi. I spoke to him on my talk page. The discussion is here, if you'd like to see. As a compromise, I offered to place the court case part that he had a problem with in a separate section. He admitted that he works for the company that makes the product. So I asked him to take a look at WP:COI. He replied, "Just read about Conflict of Interest.. so will refrain from making edits." It does seem like he has reformed. I guess we'll have to wait and see. BigJolly9 (talk) 05:04, 19 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Masoodrodman edit

I blocked him for 48 hours. Out of curiosity, since the Hindi text in his edit summary was in apparent transliteration (so I don't think I could plug it into Google Translate), what did he say? (Well, not just out of curiosity; I like to better verify these things). Daniel Case (talk) 14:51, 1 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Daniel Case, I perfectly understood what Masoodrodman said. In his edit summary was the word "Chutiye", the plural form of "Chutiya", which literally means "out of the chut (vagina)", and it is as profane as the word "fuck". Kailash29792 (talk) 15:48, 1 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sriram Vikram, actually, yes. I mailed AVM at feedback@avm.in, but the mail failed to deliver, making me believe that ID is no longer in use (strangely, the site still displays it). I also thought I could get help through Dhananjayan (he has found posters dating back to 1931), but felt I would be labouring him too much. Hence I am contemplating visiting AVM studios at Vadapalani myself in order to get the poster, and permission for their image. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:08, 7 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Vikram filmography edit

Hey bro! I recently improved the article Vikram filmography. But another editor had a problem with the 'Commercials' and 'Music video appearances' sections and keeps removing them, citing that they aren't notable. I haven't worked on a filmography before. Hence, I took the filmography of Rani Mukerji and Jake Gyllenhaal as a reference to work on my article. Jake's has both the above mentioned sections and the reference for commercials doesn't seem to qualify as RS. But he claims it to be notable. Take a look at the discussion in my talk page for more details. Forget about the guy. Just tell me if what I'm doing is right or wrong. Thanks. -- Sriram speak up 14:29, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sriram, yes I saw the discussion. I completely agree with you, as the commercials/music video appearances cited are notable, have their own articles (except Josco), and are backed by reliable sources. Only the IndiaGlitz source can be replaced/removed, as it is not good enough for featured status. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:56, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
There is an article called 'Josco FC' on a football club by the Josco Group, the organisation under which Josco Jewellers comes. Btw, I'm still having trouble finding 'high quality' sources. I assure you that sources that aren't good enough for FL will be removed when I nominate it. Btw, I could not archive few links particularly 'The Hindu' links that ends with '.ece'. Can you archive those that aren't archived yet, using webcitation? -- Sriram speak up 15:06, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
I know, of late it is becoming impossible to archive Hindu links on Archive.org due to something called www.thehindu.com/robots.txt, which I don't fully understand. But this seems to affect even WebCitation. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:34, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
(talk page stalker)Robots.txt is a file that websites can add that will tell various bots what content they can look at on that site. Most bots are well-behaved and actually obey the file but others ignore it. The Robots exclusion standard article has more details. It's a tough call - content producers have the right to control access to that information, including the ability to charge for access (especially to archives). But if everything gets saved to archive.org or webcitation, the producer loses some of that control. Both archive.org and webcitation do follow robots.txt. It sucks for Wikipedia though. Ravensfire (talk) 15:41, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Then, we can only hope that those webpages remain accessible at all times. -- Sriram speak up 15:47, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
I think webcitation only checks the robots.txt when it tries to archive the page. If robots gets changed in the future, it won't check again. archive.org will, if it detects a change in robots, remove content that was okay when it was initially archived but is now blocked by robots. Ravensfire (talk) 15:52, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Kailash! We should probably write to The Hindu citing our problem and requesting them to consider it. What say? Is it possible for you contact The Hindu either directly or through one of their journalists? -- Sriram speak up 16:01, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yes we have to contact them. I cannot find the right mail ID of Hindu, so I feel I must meet them physically. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:05, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hey! Is it mandatory to reference the lead section of a filmography article, considering that they are referenced in the table? Doesn't WP:LEAD suggests the opposite? -- Sriram speak up 10:33, 20 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

In a way yes, you can reference statements like reviews on the actor's performance in the lead. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:38, 20 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Okay. Btw, can we add a couple screenshots in the filmography? I don't see any FLs having one! Kangana Ranaut's has, but it is not a FL and not necessarily a filmography. -- Sriram speak up 10:40, 20 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Those are not screenshots, but properly licensed real-life pictures of her. How many does Vikram have on Wikipedia? Kailash29792 (talk) 10:58, 20 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Oops! My bad. On second thought, the article looks good just the way it is. Thanks for your help though.   -- Sriram speak up 14:20, 20 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Can you try finding sources for the two? I tried a lot, but wasn't successful. -- Sriram speak up 16:57, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Btw, I just tried to archive a The Hindu webpage ending with .htm. While before, only page with .ece could not be archived, now even .htm can't be archived! Why the hell are they adding the robots.txt script? -- Sriram speak up 16:59, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Have you noticed yet that we can't even retrieve previously archived pages? -- Sriram speak up 17:01, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
I currently study at Asian College of Journalism, where most of the staff work for The Hindu. Maybe they could have the answer for why Hindu installed this shit known as "robots.txt". Now much to us Wikipedian's fury, the pages ending with .ece seem archiveable, while the .htm don't. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:11, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
If possible, pls try to find some answers and resolve the issue. Also, now I'm also unable to access the page where I can can search within their archives using keywords. Instead, I'm directed to a datewise archive where unless I know the date when an article was published, I cant retrieve it. With google newspaper search not working properly, the only option left now is Titodutta's newspaper search!! -- Sriram speak up 17:23, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Hey! I'm not sure if we should use the spellings and years from the source. For example, ref no. 9 says En Kadhal Kanmani came in 1989 and ref no. 3 says Thanthu Vitten Ennai came in 1990. The year of his earlier releases have been reported inconsistently over the years. Another thing: Can we use that sify filmography as a source coz I'm afraid that page might actually been pulled from none other than wiki. -- Sriram speak up 17:30, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
As Sify satisfies WP:RS, we can use it, and the page has left no indication of copying from us. As for the dead Hindu links, it is possible to get cached versions of Hindu articles in Google search. Just past the URL to find its cached versions. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:35, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Can we use this as a video source instead of the APTalkies link? The latter doesn't satisfy as a RS. And, I'm still not convinced with the sify thing. But, let it stay until we find more reliable sources. -- Sriram speak up 17:48, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Purappadu edit

Hi, can you add the Malayalam title from here and try to expand it?♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:12, 21 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

I would very much like to, but unfortunately I don't understand Malayalam. Furthermore, as per WP:INDICSCRIPT, we do not include scripts of Indian languages on English Wikipedia. But the presence of a poster and at least a few sources in the article should save it from deletion. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:58, 21 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Kaaviya Thalaivan edit

What is user Vivvt's problem? See Kaviya Thalaivan and Kaaviya Thalaivan may have pages the way I have spelled the respective films' names. Why does it need a disambiguation page? Doesn't it satisfy WP:PRECISION or some criterias of WP:DAB? Please remove the redirects and disambiguation.

Arjann, this question must be asked to Vivvt, because only he may know the answer. But I think a hatnote is needed in a situation like when the primary article is not a DAB page (eg: RoboCop leads to a 1987 film, and has a hatnote mentioning the 2014 namesake.)

Tintin film article rename edit

Thank you for "liking" my suggestion to rename the article. As this idea needs support, please be the first to enter a new line under my proposal beginning with: Support and then a few words of your own, followed by your signature. Thanks. Prhartcom (talk) 05:54, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Anjaan edit

Can u do me a favour. Can you upload the photo file of the album cover for Anjaan's Telugu version Sikander as I don't know how to upload a picture onto wikipedia. Thanks. Ssven2 (talk)

Ssven2: Actually I can't, as the action violates WP:NFCC#8. However, if the soundtrack of Anjaan has a separate article, then that is possible. Kailash29792 (talk) 02:42, 10 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Ok, then. Can you create an article for Anjaan's soundtrack as I only know how to edit articles, not create them :D.Ssven2 (talk)

Yes, later today (maybe in the eve) - Kailash29792 (talk) 06:13, 10 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Bro, shouldn't the news about the film's certification be there on the article.Ssven2

Please read WP:FILMRATINGS, then come back to me. Kailash29792 (talk) 08:34, 13 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Drishyam Tamil Remake edit

There are a lot of articles coming up regarding Kamal's Drishyam remake. Can u create an article on the film, (which is titled Papanasam by the way), so that I can edit it. Thanks :D Ssven2 (talk)

Ssven2: Is Papanasam the official title, or is it just rumoured? Has it even entered production? BTW, please read ur talkpage where I have given you details on how to edit Wikipedia properly. That includes creating articles. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:08, 20 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I didn't know that articles are created only after production starts. Thanks 4 d info. :DSsven2 (talk)

File:VIP movie poster.jpg edit

Hope this one fits the bill. :D Ssven2 (talk)

Yes it does, good job (finally) getting the right licence. But you could have just overwritten this file instead of uploading a separate file. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:03, 22 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Can u reduce VIP movie poster.jpg as per WP:NFCC :D Ssven2 (talk)

How did u do it, bro :D? Ssven2 (talk)

Did what? Reduce the image size or upload the new image? I reduced the image through Microsoft Picture Manager. At the File:VIP movie poster.jpg page, you will find an option "Upload a new version of this file". That is how I uploaded the new file. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:09, 4 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Chandralekha (1948 film) edit

Kailash, can you please explain what the article's "Reception" section means by "nett gross"? nett means "after deductions (taxes, expenses etc)" whilst gross means "before deductions". "Box Office India gives the Hindi version's nett gross as 7 million (about US$1,500,000 in 1948)," (my emphasis) therefore doesn't make sense; it can be nett or gross, but not both at the same time. (I read the explanatory text in ref tags relating to an entertainment tax, but it still can't be both before and after deductions.) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 02:12, 28 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Bafflegab, I myself don't understand box office records like these in detail. But this and this should have some answers. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:06, 28 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for that, Kailash; I've decided to leave the term alone. It's obviously a term (mis)used in the media industry and well beyond my humble comprehension, I'm tired and life's too short. ;-) I hope you find the c/e is going well. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 03:28, 28 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Madras edit

I have archived all the links for Madras. Improving the prose now. :D. Trying to make it a GA. So, can u review it when I'm done, bro? :D Ssven2 (talk)

You must not nominate articles on films that have not yet released for GA. Please read WP:Good article criteria for more info. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:29, 7 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

I meant can u review it after box office collections are stable, like for example, after 3-4 months after the film's release, bro? :D Ssven2 (talk)

But, is it good so far, bro? :D Ssven2 (talk)

Yes it is. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:16, 8 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Mankatha edit

Bro, do you think Mankatha might pass for at least a good article nomination? :D Ssven2 (talk) Saturday 6 September 2014; 09:20 UTC/IST.

Ssven2, I'll tell you one thing: fix all the dead links and correct all the box office figures, then it will do. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:16, 6 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Besides the dead links part, what else to make an article a GA? :D Ssven2 (talk)

Improving the prose and writing everything according to the supporting sources. Kailash29792 (talk) 01:32, 7 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bryancyriel edit

Yes, I took care of it, but I only found it because of your SPI report (which was gone when I went to post). Keep up the good work — I suppose all we can do is play whack-a-mole for a while. Did you notice how the latest sock said it keeps me editing? It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. He'd found it on a list of free bot names... If it's simpler for you, feel free to just post a little note on my page if you should see further quacking ducks. The user seems so clueless that there's little point in SPI formalities, nor apparently in trying to explain stuff on their page. Bishonen | talk 16:18, 10 September 2014 (UTC).Reply

Anniyan (soundtrack) edit

Felt that the "Music" section of the film was quite long enough to have a separate article, so I created a separate article. But if u want to remove it and put it back, u can bro :D.Ssven2 (talk)

I am neutral to this, question whether Sriram Vikram (who intends to take Anniyan to FA status eventually) is OK with it. Kailash29792 (talk) 06:36, 14 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Mullum Malarum edit

Hi, I didn't know that the film was not sent to any award ceremony by the producer. I was wondering why no Tamil films were honoured at the 26th National Film Awards. Tamil cinema had produced two of the most realistic (should I say daringly different) films in 1978, other being Aval Appadithan. I don't think even Aval Appadithan was ever sent to any award ceremony. Had both the films been sent to NFA, in all possibility they could have won some awards collectively. And when you look back at this list, there are some movies that undeservedly won the award. It's a shame that these two films were not recognized at the time of release. Vensatry (ping) 19:01, 14 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

But ultimately MM did win many awards. Still, I don't know how any film could win an award it was not entered for? Kailash29792 (talk) 02:15, 15 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Apart from Filmfare and "State Awards" others are minor ones. For these kinda award ceremonies films need not be entered. Only big-scale award ceremonies like NFAs and international film festivals demand submissions. NFAs also give prize money to the winners, so is the submission. In case of Filmfare, they themselves handpick a list of films, shortlist and select the winners. Vensatry (ping) 08:12, 15 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Update edit

Hey buddy! How are you doing? As you must have noticed the drastic drop in my edit frequency, I have been real busy with my academics that have kept me away from wiki for quite a long time now. I see that the FAC review of Chandralekha is progressing well and you have already bagged 3 support votes. Great going bro! Hoping to see it as a FA real soon. By the way, I just wanna follow up on a few things that we have discussed earlier. Have you contacted anyone from The Hindu and has the robots.txt issue been sorted yet? I am able to retrieve archived links ending with both '.htm' and '.ece' now. But, are we able to archive new links? And, are you still considering helping me with Anniyan? Its exactly 5 months since I expanded the article. With regards to the 'Critical reception' section, I wonder if it is too long and needs to be cut down. But, the 'Box office' section needs work. While ssven2 has offered to help, I'm not sure if he is as good as you. Think it over. And I need a suggestion regarding Vikram filmography. Some of his works aren't referenced properly. Refs like #17, #20 etc. though mentions the film name, year and director, doesn't support any association with Vikram. And, I'm still not convinced with the Sify filmography as a reference. Can we hide those that are poorly referenced and go for FLC, and we can unhide them as and when better references emerge? -- Sriram speak up 13:24, 20 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

I think "robots.txt" no longer applies for all the Hindu articles (except for some of the old ones I suppose). Tried archiving anything anytime lately? And until every source in Vikram's filmography is perfect and totally satisfying, do not try for FAC; maybe you can spend some time polishing the lead. And I am dismayed at how the Indian media does not chose to cover/preserve every aspect of the film industry. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:51, 20 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Haven't tried archiving anything. I expected you would have tried and would know if it works. And, with regards the lead section, I have done my best. I believe the prose quality is pretty good, only it may need to be more brief or shorter. I don't know that for sure. Have asked Krimuk to c/e the lead. He hasn't replied yet. Btw, its been so many years since Sethu. If his earlier films doesn't have a single reliable refs after all these years, do you think we should wait for it? -- Sriram speak up 14:41, 20 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Now that Vikram is a popular face in Bollywood after Raavan and David (regardless of how successful they are), he and his films may have profiles at Bollywood Hungama. Checked that out yet? And I hope that very soon a biography of him will be published, with complete details on his films. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:45, 20 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Yes. Sadly, BH only list 4 of his films! -- Sriram speak up 14:46, 20 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
