Re: Collaboration

Well, thank you for the nice words. It is encouraging. However, I don't quite understand when you say that you have used my template. Maybe you can clarify on this.

Also, I see that you've nominated Anand (2004) for a GA. I wasn't quite sure if my efforts on it would make the cut esp. because of the limited resources for Telugu films.

And yes, I'm a Telugu-speaking editor primarily working in the English Wiki.

Regards, Mspraveen 14:10, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh, is it? Since, I'm a month-old newbie, I know less of the past and I'm just gaining ground in here. Meeting new people and yes, I love collaborations. But, I'm afraid if I'd be active for a month coz I'll be traveling and wouldn't really have great access/time to Wiki.

My aim is primarily improving articles that I've substantial knowledge and/or affinity towards. If I can get any particular article to B-class, I should be okay coz of the limited resources, as I said.

Hello, I was wondering if you can copyedit the Parineeta article. I wanted to nominate it for FA status. If you can spare some time, that'd be great! Beyond this, I intend to submit this for a peer-review and then based on that go ahead with the FA nomination. Thanks and regards, Mspraveen 06:08, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Unnale Unnale

Hello, how've you been doing? I was going through the GA review of the article and I checked and saw that most of the required edits have been completed. However, I completed the image fair use rationales that I felt was needed. Is there anything else before you nominate it for a GA? Do let me know if you need any assistance in this. Best regards and season's greetings! Mspraveen (talk) 15:31, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Sivaji

Hello, how've you been doing? Hope you are keeping well. This is about you putting up Sivaji article for nomination.

Firstly, I was waiting to complete my edits on this article and then put it up for nomination. When I finished these edits a couple of days back, I saw that it was already nominated by you. No wonder I did not realize this because you hadn't put the GA nominee template in the article discussion page. Maybe, you can remind yourself of the same the next time around for other articles. Also, maybe it is a good practice to inquire with the currently active editor of that article before nominating one.

Best regards, Mspraveen (talk) 14:48, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, regarding the same article, I wonder what the image of the silver jubilee function is doing in the article without any relevant context. Unless this is addressed, it will be a serious hindrance to the article's quality or GA assessment. Do you think you come up with the relevant content and add it appropriately? Also, I feel that having the the image sized down to 200px would be better. What say? Best regards, Mspraveen (talk) 13:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your nice words. However, if you were to bring the silver jubilee to my attention, I would have written up some content and added the image myself. Maybe, you could have avoided putting up the image in between the reviews making it irrelevant to external editors/reviewers. Don't you think so? :) Anyways, for now, I've corrected this and have a sentence written about it and relocated the image appropriately. Due to the vast popularity of this film, I'm sure at the time when you put this up for a GA nomination, you must have faced a lot of edit wars and junk write up. Now, that when I saw the article to be stable, I began editing this. Using the failed GA notes by User:Elcobbola, I started cleaning up the article.

I hope it passes the GA. My GA charm has been working the first time I work on any nomination. ;) Lets hope for this too this time around. Best wishes and regards, Mspraveen (talk) 14:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Anand (2004)

In future, please follow the instructions when nominating an article for GA (or FA) status:

How to nominate an article

Before nominating, ensure that you are a registered user and have the time to implement changes or clarifications requested by a reviewer.

If you believe an article to be good according to the Good article criteria:

1. List the article at the bottom of the relevant section below using the syntax: # {{la|ArticleName}} ~~~~ with an edit summary of "Nominating [[ArticleName]]"
2. Add {{GAnominee|2024-05-20}} to the nominated article's talk page.

It's important to list this on the talk page of the article too.

Thanks

Hello!

Yeh but this section directs the readers to lists where Zinta appears... Tell me has this film of yours Unnalle Unnalle been listed as a GA? Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

They're so slow God! Lazy bums!!!

Oh so don't you intend to reach a featured status for R Madhavan in one of the coming days? Are you working on it? Shahid • ^Talk2me 19:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Bollywood has another 'A' class article with Preity Zinta!!! Shahid • ^Talk2me 00:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Preity Zinta FA

Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Remember to comment more on that actual content of the article and why you think it is FA quality rather than stating the positive impact an FA would have an other articles. Thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 12:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Indian Cricket League

What do you mean, the article says Ponting signed for IPL rather than the ICL. The ICL is for has-beens who have no international future, Ponting would never consider signing for it. --Jpeeling 17:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello!

You won't believe this. The Preity Zinta article has been listed for Good article reassessment, while all these guys who opposed to its FAC promotion, claimed that it has to be delist. I'm shocked. Shahid • ^Talk2me 09:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

		That's for you, Universal Hero! For your great efforts to improve Indian cinema articles, especially South Indian ones. Your work is brilliant, and is greatly appreciated, friend:) Congrats! Shahid • Talk2me 19:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

You deserve that!:) Happy Diwali!!!! I bought the tickets, but the cinema was closed, for some unclear reasons. The first show was canceled. I'll go to the second show tomorrow I guess. Best regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 19:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

It was cancelled, that's only this one, for which I bought the tickets (OSO in Melbourne), but I'll watch tomorrow. They had some technical problem, it was just delayed. That's the first time I see something like this. We've all waited so long. Shahid • ^Talk2me 19:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:UnnaleUnnale27.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:UnnaleUnnale27.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:Image:UnnaleUnnale27.jpg|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Long time...

How've you been?

No, unfortunately I have no new projects. I've been working on tha Salman Khan article and created a nnumber of articles. Godfrey Phillips Bravery Awards was successfully updated in DYK!:) Waiting for Dwaipayanc to see what's going with the Zinta article. He helps me very much with this article. Now it's a B in two Wikiproject and an A only in one. Quite sad, after months of work.

What about you? Are there some new projects? new GAs? Regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 22:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

The best thing you can do is clean up Tamil films of the 1980s etc, Compared to the Bollywood lists they are terrible. These should be important for Tamil film on wikipedia. The films need sorting and putting in order in the tablrd and info on the director or cast added etc. Unfortunately nobody has tended to them yet ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 22:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

How come Unnale Unnale did not pass GA? It's a pitty. I was sure it would. I think you should address the concerns raised on the talk page. It's not a big deal. These are very minor problems. Shahid • ^Talk2me 22:41, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Another example of a quality article which is still a B. Surely you proposed it for a GA? ANyway if you could fix the titles for Tamil film of the 1980s like 1990s and 2000s this would make a big difference ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 22:56, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I thought you might have had the decency to respond to me personally seems as I've also helped copy editing your Unnale Unnale article ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 13:07, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes me too!!! Unfortunately it only appears to be you working on them and they are in a terrible state. I've just added 1980, i think I'll scrap the others and start from scratch. I think these are very important to construct Tamil cinema and get some kind of framework behind them. Eventually we could split them by year and have detailed pages on Tamil film by year but first things first ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 13:17, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes could you just add all the loose titles on Tamil films of the 1970s to the tables. The info can be added later. I'll be willing to sort out the 80s one. Its more urgent that these pages are cleaned up, particularly as I am aiming for every Tamil film on wikipedia to have the Tamil cinema template eventually connecting to the years in tmail film like Bollywoof. See

♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 13:29, 16 December 2007 (UTC) ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 13:29, 16 December 2007 (UTC).

Eventually I'd love to see Tmail pages equally as complete as Bollywood films of 1972. I think its only fair don't you that we try to cover Tamil film ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 13:31, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I haven't really talked to you before but would like to thank you for reverting vandalism to Deepika Padukone's page. I agree with User:Bollywoodbabe that no fansites on Wikipedia are allowed. But this is only the case in the external links and in this article it is being used as a reference and not an external link. I already talked to the user Talk: Bollywoodbabe but he/she doesn't seem to listen. If you could also have a word with the user, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks Oh by the way nice to meet you. Regards --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 02:25, 20 December 2007

Thank you very much for the compliments but I don't really do as much work as Shahid & Blofeld do. I go around reverting vandalism and expanding some pages but Shahid & Blofeld are excellent editors. They are the reason why our Bollywood pages have improved so much. I really look up to their work!! Looking at your conrtibutions, you also seem to be an excellent editor as well. Keep up the good work and Happy Holidays to you as well. Kind Regards --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 18:32, 20 December 2007

Your work on Tamil films

Hi! I briefly examined some articles on Tamil films, and it looks like you are the main person who is adding English translations of the titles, which is terrific. I wonder if you could do one little thing differently. Instead of using [[English]], which goes to a disambiguation page, please use [[English language|English]]. Otherwise I have to disambiguate the links individually (I work on Wikiproject Disambiguation, and one of the things I've taken on is to keep English clear of incoming links). Thanks! Best regards, Tkynerd (talk) 20:21, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Future films

Hey, you've probably noticed that I've been proposing a few film articles for deletion. I've accidentally marked a few false positives, as it's not always possible to determine if a film is in production when it's not on IMDb. I was wondering if you could help review some Indian films (as that appears to be your expertise) so I can avoid such mistakes. Would you be interested in that? I don't want to get anything deleted that meets Wikipedia's guidelines. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:07, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I;m currently creating locator map templates for every country see missing locator maps-Dutch wikipedia did this long ago. This way we can add an infobox and locator coordinates to every country on the planet in the infobox settlement. Even smaller settlements can be polished up with a location maps which i think are extremely useful. SOoner or later I'll continue with film but I'm a bit tied at present. Keep up the good work on those Tamil films!! The Bald One ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 14:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

HI can you clean up 123 (film) and find an infobox and image thanks. What wouuld be great is if you could go through the category of tamil films and tack these two templates onto the bottom of every one. Hopefully the lists will develop by year soon enough. I think this is important for Tamil film on wikipedia to have each one connected ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^Talk? 17:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Sivaji

Geez! Thanks! Good that an article on Sivaji reached the GA finally! It is a pity that many editors from India seem to indulge in self-vanity/vandalism of articles that are highly popular. I wonder, why everyone doesn't take a subjective look at Wikipedia being an encyclopedia. :) Nevertheless, all is well that ends well. Not to mention my GA charm worked yet again! I'm beginning to believe in charms now! ;) Whats keeping you busy nowadays? Regards, Mspraveen (talk) 05:21, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Quick request

In the future, if you could use {{Film}} instead of {{FilmsWikiProject}}, I'd be very grateful. Although the latter one automatically redirects to the former, it has been deprecated, and we're trying to phase out its usage as task force tagging slowly occurs over the next year or so. Knowing that it's not being added to new articles would put me greatly at ease. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 04:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
