Featured list candidates/Aamir Khan filmography/archive1

Nominator(s): KRIMUK90 ✉ 03:23, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aamir Khan is one of the most prolific and well-known figures of Indian cinema, and has contributed to some of the landmark films of Bollywood history. This listing of his screen appearances is well-sourced and thoroughly researched. Look forward to lots of constructive comments. KRIMUK90 ✉ 03:23, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support An excellent list.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:21, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support: on prose. Very good work, keep it up! —Zia Khan 18:39, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. :) KRIMUK90 ✉ 01:43, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I am not sure if Music video appearances and TV fits in a filmography. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 12:09, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Redtigerxyz:. I have modelled this list after several FLs such as Jake Gyllenhaal filmography, Christian Bale filmography, Jennifer Lopez filmography. Rani Mukerji filmography etc., all of which mention TV and music video appearances. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 13:05, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Vivvt

The source for "Manzil Manzil" and "Zabardast" does not mention about these two films.

The TOI ref mentions the two films.

The lead provides two references, however table entry refers to only one reference and that one does not mention the required.

Changed. Thanks. :)

Also, if he was an assistant director, no need to mention "N/A" for the role column.

I did that so it would be easier to sort out the films in which he acted. I can remove it if you want though. :)

Yes. Please.

Removed.

Role column in "Music video appearances" seem redundant to me.

Removed.

I would recommend putting "Year" as the first column, followed by "Title".

Almost all filmography FAC's follow the format of putting title before year. I think it's fair enough.

For footnotes, wouldn't it be nice to say "Khan played/performed" than "He"?

True. Changed.

I have addressed your concerns @Vivvt:. Thanks for the comments. :)-- KRIMUK90 ✉ 06:00, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from —Vensatry _(Ping)

"His performance in the film and in the thriller Raakh (1989) earned him a Special Jury Award at the National Film Awards ceremony" – year needed.

Mentioned the ceremony.

In the succeeding sentence, "the highest-grossing Hindi film of 1990" is not verified by the source.

Tweaked.

"The 871 million (US$15 million)-grossing romance Raja Hindustani" – This needs clarification, was it was a life-time grosser? Further it needs "as of" and the exchange rate needs to be adjusted to the corresponding year.

I am not sure how this works. Could you give me an example on how to change the exchange rate? There is no such adjustment on other featured articles on Indian actors. Do you think this is essential? -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 06:01, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because this film was released 18 years ago and exchange rates change drastically from time to time, we need to have some adjustments. Have a look at this article to see how this is explained. Having said that, I'm not very keen to have box-office figures for Indian films as they are highly subjective. —Vensatry _(Ping) 08:13, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I adjusted the exchange rate for Raja Hindustani and removed them for 3 Idiots. Thanks for the link. :)-- KRIMUK90 ✉ 12:14, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if a common reader would be able to comprehend "playing against type". Consider linking it appropriately if needed.

Wikilinked.

"In 2001, Khan started a production company, Aamir Khan Productions" is not verified by the source.

Changed and added source.

"he played a man suffering from anterograde amnesia" – ditto.

Sourced.

"3.92 billion (US$65 million)" – Conversion needs to be adjusted according to the exchange rate that year.
Adjust the syntax for row scopes in the "Films" table so that the field containing it appears in a single row

Done.

Not done. When you look at the page there is an obvious difference between columns (such as Title, Year, etc., where you've used column scopes) and the rows (Film titles). As I said earlier, the field containing the row scopes should appear in a single row. Besides, the pipe symbol appearing before it should be replaced by an exclamation mark! I can do the adjustments, but it looks very tedious for the whole list. —Vensatry _(Ping) 13:50, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am quite lost here, as I don't understand what needs to be done. Could you give me an example @Vensatry:. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 06:43, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a sample edit for Yaadon Ki Baaraat. The syntax is right for the "Television" and "Music video appearances" tables. —Vensatry _(Ping) 07:09, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spot on! —Vensatry _(Ping) 07:20, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Haha! Finally! Thanks for the help.

-- KRIMUK90 ✉ 07:23, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Did he "co-write" Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak? The title cards show that he only assisted Hussain.

Yeah, the title card mentions that he assisted Hussain in writing the story, though the Bollywood Hungama source mentions him as a writer? What should I write? -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 06:01, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I seriously doubt the credibility of Bollywood Hungama at least in this. The page looks like an IMDb entry. It would be nice to have some other third-party sources. —Vensatry _(Ping) 08:13, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Used another source. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 12:14, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's worth mentioning the songs he recorded in the "Notes" column

Do we really need to name the songs in the notes column? How about mentioning them in a footnote? -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 06:01, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just a suggestion —Vensatry _(Ping) 08:13, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think naming the songs will make the list look cluttered, so I will pass on this. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 12:14, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ref #1 is missing date and author

Added.

Why is "Bollywood Hungama" linked in refs #5 and #6 alone?

Linked only first occurrence.

Ref #11 needs date

Added.

Ref #18 needs publisher. If it's a magazine it needs other essential parameters as well

for this magazine these are the publisher name has been included. What other parameters do we need when it is an offline source? -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 06:01, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if "lulu" is a reliable publisher.

this book by Fuad Omar looks quite reliable to me. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 06:01, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, the problem here is "Lulu" is a self-publishing company. So I think using it here won't be a good idea. —Vensatry _(Ping) 08:21, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Changed the source. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 07:23, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ref #33 in incomplete

Added.

Author for ref #44 should be Naman Ramachandran and not Nama Ramachandran

Added.

Ref #46 is missing date

Added.

Ref #48 needs date and author

Added.

I think I have addressed most of your concerns @Vensatry:. Thanks for the comments once again. :) -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 12:14, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Decent list —Vensatry _(Ping) 12:10, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 14:08, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support: The only thing I would suggest is to centre all the references in the Films section, like how you did with the Television section (style="text-align: center;" |) <-- that's what I mean. Other than that, this is a nice article. Goooood work!! :D AB01 ^{I'M A POTATO} 09:53, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. :) I tried putting it in the centre, but it still shows up the same way. No clue why; not very good at formatting tables. -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 14:08, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I might give it a try then :-) AB01 ^{I'M A POTATO} 01:06, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, many thanks. :) KRIMUK90 ✉ 03:17, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No worries..did I just thanks your thanks? :P AB01 ^{I'M A POTATO} 03:31, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Haha. Yeah, you did! -- KRIMUK90 ✉ 04:56, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
