Replaceable fair use Image:Mickey J Meyer.PNG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Mickey J Meyer.PNG. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The Evil Spartan 19:10, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Assessment Team Welcome

Thanks for your application to join the WikiProject India Assessment Team - a very hearty welcome!

During your welcome phase, please note that your assessments and comments are likely to be monitored to ensure that all articles are assessed in the same way, and I will give you feedback where I think it's necessary so that you know what else to include in your comments/considerations. This is in case I, the main member of assessment department, end up resigning my post so that the next most experienced assessor (which is likely to be you if you're around at the time) takes over my post. More importantly, it's so that you know what to include when you assess articles in the future. Once the welcome phase has passed, I will only check your assessments/comments every now and then (to check for consistency between assessments/comments). The only time in which an assessment of another assessor may be overruled is when the main assessor feels that there is some inconsistency, but I am likely to leave some additions/comments on the page of why I feel the change is needed.

For the past year or so, it's mostly been a one-man show as you may have noted, so I am pleased to see you bolded your name. I frequently don't get enough time to go through some articles - usually the gap between what has been assessed and unassessed will reveal such articles, and you will probably have to assess such articles (while as main assessor, I keep updating how things can be done at the assessment department, archiving assessments and so on). Your help is appreciated.

Wishing you all the best as an active member of the WikiProject India Assessment Team,

Ncmvocalist 12:33, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, now for some feedback on what you've done so far.

Re: Mohammad_Ibrahim_Zauq Nice. I agree with the assessment, however, the choice of example article could be improved, or the weaknesses of it should be pointed out. Specifically, emphasis on the lack of in-text references and its importance. You will note this addition on the comments page. Ncmvocalist 15:36, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: VFS_India Some good ideas to give to editors. But, the writing style is one of the biggest -ives of this article, and this should be re-emphasised. Ncmvocalist 15:42, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007 Wow, I'm impressed with your comment here. Until I look at this article with a little more detail, momentarily, I can't give you any further tips on what else is worth noting, but will do so when I do finally have a good look at it. Ncmvocalist 11:41, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Ncmvocalist 15:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Yeah, clearing up space would be great...it's a nice idea. Re: the article, if the user has any further comments, I'll respond after that - but I will be unavailable until Saturday unfortunately to check. Anyway, there's no way it can be delisted so it's all good.

Another thing is I'm going to be busy until towards the end of November, and though I will come in every now and then, it won't be so regular - I'm leaving the assessment dept. in your care until then. Please continue assessing/improving articles as you see fit, and I'm sure I'll enjoy reading a lot of the stuff on my return! :) I do owe you an award, but I'll save it for when I am back. Best wishes, and take care - Ncmvocalist 19:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Assessment Dept. Feedback

Anand (2004) Comments

Sure, I will re-look at this so that I can tell you what else to take care of in improving the quality of this article. Off memory, I found that while there was some encouraging work in it, there were a few problems with it too - I'll articulate some of these when I get a chance. Ncmvocalist 11:45, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

So that you have some idea of a nice place to get started (on improvements), I'll give you a couple of pointers. Referencing is a big issue most articles seem to face - not only must there be a reasonably large quantity of them, but they have to be credible, reliable and verifiable sources too.

One of the lines in the article is: "Kamalinee Mukherjee being a Bengali, there was a need for someone to dub her voice for the film." Now there are few problems with this statement alone. Firstly, the sentence structure is quite poor, at least, for an encyclopedia, so it also has an informal tone. It would be better worded as "Being a Bengali, there was a need for someone to dub Kamalinee Mukherjee's voice for the film." Another issue is the lack of references - the fact Kamalinee Mukherjee is Bengali needs to be cited, and the fact her voice was to be dubbed - that lone makes an additional 2 in-text references for this sentence, and article. The third issue is that neither the actress, nor the language, were given hyperlinks to the appropriate page in Wikipedia - I'm sure there is a separate article or stub on Bengali (language) and Kamalinee Mukherjee - even if it is spelt differently. You could try applying the solutions to these issues on another sentence, such as this one from the paragraph above the sentence I used: "The choice for an actress made Kammula visit Mumbai and Bangalore, but he could not get the appropriate one." The sentence "Then, he learnt about a Bengali girl, Kamalinee Mukherjee." seems to sound more like a story is being told - this isn't the sort of language one should find in an encyclopedia usually, especially when it isn't the plot of the movie itself.

The whole section under influences/changes, needs to be editted. Quotations have not been closed off with quotation marks after being opened with them. Furthermore, the way in which this section has been written needs a complete revamp.

Check the references list of the article example I gave in my comments. It should give some idea of the number of different types and number of references that should be used in the article itself. It will also give some ideas of the type of sections that need to be added, or which are lacking in the article at this point.

Once you have resolved issues like these, let me know so I can add more feedback if need be. Best wishes - Ncmvocalist 11:58, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I do apologise if it seems a bit tough, but having said that, we assume members of Wikipedia exist not just to create a stub or start class article, but to make them to the highest quality achievable by them - in your case, I don't doubt you could bring it up to a very high standard indeed. I suppose another reason we only note a few of the major suggestions etc. in comments, primarily because we cannot be sure of how much a particular article's editors are capable of.

I'm not sure it is always clear-cut in noting how different some start-articles are from others. I felt (when looking at it) that the article did not have the majority of the material needed for a comprehensive article, with the primary let-down being the criticisms I outlined above. Of course, for example, where I mentioned hyperlinks should be given, this isn't a total necessity, but it would be easier to deal with now, rather than later - it is a heavy task indeed.

For now, more credible references are needed in some places, but more importantly, it needs to have a more encyclopedic style in presenting certain parts of content (some of the quotations are unnecessary on a lot of levels - appropriate paraphrasing may help here). Once these elements have been removed, or edited appropriately, and after possibly reorganising the order of some of the headings, then it should be a little more than ready to be moved up to a B-class article. Ncmvocalist 15:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm more than happy to give some insight :)

Yes, this referencing issue is quite unfortunate for a movie of this nature. Of course, if you manage with what little is available, then it's easier to avoid putting too much focus on this issue. For example, where did the soundtrack track-listing come from? Does the recording company have a website? Maybe a somewhat "well-known" e-shop sells the product, and provides a track listing? Same with movie details such as how do you know the movie trailer is included in the dvd etc. (seems very trivial, I know, but it's still required) These are just a couple of examples that would up the count on credible references, and has been done in part or whole in Lage Raho Munna Bhai.

Also observe the order in which the headings of the article I recommended goes - very smooth transition between heading to heading. Starting off with the plot, before launching into cast, then production. Then to high profile screening and release details, finally coming to an end with soundtrack and dvd details - following a similar structure would be preferrable I think.

I'm aware that any of my criticisms so far may sound like a lot to demand from an article, but as an encyclopedia of sorts, it's something that is necessary to distinguish between articles that are beyond just a 'start', or even a 'B' class article. There are some editors around who would have (possibly gladly) ripped your article to pieces, so in that sense, I don't demand or expect too much - just a majority of the essentials. I only keep giving comments each time a person asks because I feel one can only make small but inconsequential changes at a time - if there is an impossible list, it's more than likely one would lose interest and take up another hobby. So in that sense, I don't think I am too tough as such, probably more on the reasonable side - perhaps giving you some idea of how some other editors are here in Wikipedia, in WikiProject India itself. Anyway, I hope my comments are (and will continue to be) of some help at least.

While I can't guarantee my feedback will always be prompt, I can guarantee that I'm happy to help if and when you'd like it, and whenever I can. :)

You're very welcome, and best wishes - Ncmvocalist 08:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

A Beautiful Mind isn't an FA, but just a GA. The article I've quoted is a recently promoted FA that is also under the WikiProject India banner, so I'm obliged to give it more authority. Still, ordinarily this wouldn't be such a problem, but I think the article I quoted has better structure and more flow between the headings. Of course, this isn't an essential that will necessarily distinguish between grades - but it is a suggestion.

Sorry about the half comment - I didn't want to lose what I typed so far! Will add more later.... Ncmvocalist 10:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

You're most welcome. I'm glad it's making sense this way. I gave the B grade as it finally came to the point that there was no doubt in my mind that it was a B class article. However, as B class article, it still does have some problems that probably could be fixed. Of course, you are welcome to switch articles by now, and perhaps even return to this one later, but some points to note that would receive more focus if it was assessed for a higher class:

I wasn't impressed with the references for the soundtrack - the track listing should come for a source where you can actually buy the soundtrack from (on the other hand, I do understand that this may take some time to find, which is why I ignored this part). Further, the DVD details could come before soundtrack details seeing that the DVD image is at the top of this section.

In the awards section, the whole final para could be contemplated as being "skip-worthy" - unnecessary for an encyclopedia article perhaps?

The Critical acclaim and reviews paragraph meanwhile has a lot of stuff packed in it - whether it's all necessary, and whether there could be further summarising and editing should be considered.

In the misc section, Anand is a movie title (not the character) and so needs to be formatted appropriately. The rest of this section is pretty good.

Some references re: cast would be good - imdb might help for names, while descriptions may need to be referenced from some other places.

I'm sure parts of the story can also be sourced from summaries given elsewhere. However, there isn't a need to find too many references for this section either. Even when introducing the characters for this section (of who's playing who), even if they are the same references as those that would be used in the cast section, repeat them - there is no harm.

The introduction is excellent - but note to mention something about it being a release available as a dvd and soundtrack towards the end - remember, this introduction is very important for the higher grades. Good checklists to use for the article are WP:WIAFA and WP:WIAGA. Definitely has potential to go further! :)

The articles importance will not hinder its quality - it is just a guide for what is most required for the project and what stems off it. Once these improvements have been made, the next thing to do is get it peer-reviewed. Assuming none of the suggestions conflict with what was recommended by the assessment dept., then appropriate changes should be considered and made, and after all of this, is when things can go further up. :) Ncmvocalist 04:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I do, it's a very nice feeling. :D Ncmvocalist 04:28, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

If you can't find a reference for the soundtrack where the website itself gives the track-listing, I suggest you jointly use the MIO and IMDB references, along with another one - if you find it, there is one site where the product is sold (an e-store), but the website didn't give the details, so some other buyer had typed in the details (but I only found it that day I left a half-comment). But still, if you can, it's preferrable if you find an e-store that actually lists these details.

I still don't think that the final paragraph is at all required here in the awards section - it's superfluous, so it needs to be cut down or deleted. Of course, if you still do want to include some element of it, then beginning with (something similar to) this line, at the end of the first (and only) paragraph would be enough: "Kammula believed the overall success of Anand' could be attributed to the film's stepping out of the stereotype... [32]."

This is a very good question. While Lage Raho Munna Bhai was an FA, it isn't perfect in the absolute sense, and the superfluous detail in reviews/critiques is one of its weaknesses. (A point to note that many researchers, editors and the like seem to have a problem doing is cutting down on material they have found or written - they think it's so good that they are very reluctant to cut it out. In some instances, it's worthwhile keeping it, but this is another reason for getting another editor to look at it from a 'fresh' point of view is to iron out these small issues.) I'm happy with most of your critical acclaim and reviews section, however, there are a few things that could be worded better and/or reconsidered for inclusion. If there are critics that think the movie is shocking, then even a line to acknowledge this would be enough. I'll leave an example at the end of this comment.

You have a separate cast section listed with the names of the characters along side the respective actor/actress. Adding a reference for each, or the section as a whole, wouldn't be a bad idea. IMDB would probably be enough for something like this. The same goes for the character (actor who plays it) in the plot section.

Keep in mind that not all feature articles are perfect. According to WP:WIAFA, your lead section (or intro) should be concise, and should summarize the topic and prepare the reader for the greater detail in the subsequent sections. Given that an element of every other section has been touched on in the lead section of this article, it would make sense to mention the existence of the soundtrack/DVD. I should've been specific - the intro is excellent in content. I think it could be improved in expression - this is something I will edit to give an idea of what I mean (same with something I'm not quite happy about in the soundtrack section), but keep in mind it is only a suggestion, and you may revert the change if you wish once I've made it.

Wow, finally finished typing! Best wishes when you nominate the article for peer-review, and any other grade above 'B'. I'm sure your hard work will pay off soon. Ncmvocalist 12:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Further to my last point about the introduction, the final paragraph starting from "If the award winning..." to the end of it, needs more editing (rewording) and both sentences need to be merged. The whole encyclopedic style is lost in this part. Also, in the middle paragraph, is "tread" really the correct word to use? 13:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ncmvocalist (talk • contribs)

Great work on the article! Keep it up! Shawnpoo 16:12, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

This is an unofficial tip; personally requesting User:Sarvagnya to peer-review your article is a good place to start at this point (it may be worth mentioning that I've suggested this to you because I feel that the article should be reviewed at a much more "critical level"). Good luck! ;) Ncmvocalist 12:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Bommarillu GA on hold

I have looked the article over and there are other things that must be met for the article to remain a GA. I have listed the reasons on the talk page of the article based on the requirements of the GA criteria. I'd like to commend you for improving the article to GA in such a short time here on Wikipedia. Please look over the issues I've raised and address them so the article can remain a GA. You can ask other editors to help you if you need assistance, and consider asking members from the projects on the talk page affiliated with the article. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Nehrams2020 19:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I've looked over these so called issues that need to be addressed for the article to remain a GA, and have edited parts that are either absurd, or dealt with. Please note that the majority of this editor's reasons/issues are not a 'must' for a GA. I would also recommend you consider what has been said in the following talk page revision: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Bommarillu&oldid=166487487. I hope it is of assistance. Once again, the efforts are all yours - Congratulations on a GA, and I am glad to be of assistance! Ncmvocalist 04:39, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I am shifting part of the 'to do list' from the article - I've fixed these bits, but this is a note for you to keep in mind for future articles.

Although the images have fair use rationales, you need to state specifically in the heading of the rationale which article(s) the image is being used in. So in this case, change them to "Fair use rationale for ''[[Bommarillu]]''."
Awards shouldn't be bolded.
The sentence should also be formatted to something like "The narrator in the background (Murali Mohan), states that it is right for a father to support his child in his infancy, but questions whether the father should continue to hold the child’s hand even after he is 24 years old."

Ncmvocalist 11:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Good work on your corrections, and I apologize if it appears that I was attacking the article, it was not my intent. I merely wanted to see the article meet the criteria, and simple changes were needed, which you fixed very quickly. Just a quick question, for some of the inline citations, if you look in the references section, a lot of them have an access year of 2006. If the articles were recently looked at, did you mean 2007? This isn't a problem, it just looks interesting to have the articles accessed a year apart. Anyway, good job and I hope you continue to bring articles up to GA status. --Nehrams2020 06:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I hope the fires are contained soon. President Bush just visited the area today, and some firefighters are looking for several arsonists who may have started some of the fires. Good job on the citations. --Nehrams2020 08:25, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Collabaration

I've been extremely impreesse with your work on Parineeta and Bommarillu. I've used your template to figure my own GA candidate in Unnale Unnale. Are you a Telugu editor? Universal Hero 12:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I basically used the set-up you had used. Ye, I aked if you were Telugu, as after the blocking of a significant Telugu editor (User:Arjun1591), the Telugu film pages have basically stopped being developed. The likes of films like Tulasi, I had to update after its release. It's in a really bad state, considering I am not Telugu, I'm not sure of most things. S can you possibly help?

Parineeta

I'm so sorry...I said soon didn't I? :S Yes, I did wish to comment on it, however, I do want to alert you to something before anything. If you wish to go for FA, then you should really avoid going for GA. People go for GA's for two reasons: one being that's the highest they are willing to go, and the second being; they failed when trying for one of the higher grades. So unless you want to stop at GA, then you should aim to try for FA first. If that fails, that's when you should consider A or GA. While it's true that the hierarchy is as stub, start, B, GA, A and FA...the B leads onto any one of the three A's. Hope that clears it up.

I didn't plan on giving extensive comments because I was pretty sure you wanted to try for FA. What I'd suggest, meanwhile, is you try for a peer-review - I'm aware WikiProject India needs more peer-reviewers, so you could try the general peer-review department until it gets active again (there should be a link to it on the FA nominations page or something). You could probably put Anand (2004) for one as well if you think you can handle fixing both up at the same time, or you can do them separately if you'd rather be focussed on one at a time.

Apologies for the delay - I can guarantee I can get back to you on it within a week.

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)

Qutb Ud Din Aybak

This article states that he was a 'pious' Muslim because he was generous (lakh bakhsh). Neither is this assertion supported in fact nor a generally accepted belief. In fact, the author seems to be following his own prejudices. I'm not sure being generous can be equated to being a pious Muslim. There are generous persons in most other religions as well. The subject statement deserves an edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsagar (talk • contribs) 09:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Sivaji (film)

Greetings, please forgive my delayed response. I’d be glad to offer any assistance I can. I see you’ve indeed made some positive changes. I can give you a more thorough assessment in a day or two, but a cursory glance indicates that several items from the GA assessment have yet to be remedied (e.g. soundtrack fork, questionable POV, etc). You might give that a second glace in the mean time to avoid redundant comments. Ɛƚƈơƅƅơƚɑ _talk 04:41, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Question on references

Yeah, if it's just the one source referenced throughout the article, then there are issues. Several references stemming from several sources is ideal. Obviously, this isn't always possible, so some consideration may be given, but generally, even with consideration, no entire article would get away with just one, or often even two sources. The production section of Lagaan is rather well-written for the most part (from a cursory glance), but yeah, references are/will be a problem in its current state. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I can suggest to remedy this except the obvious: try to find ways to insert other sources into the article - keep looking. If it's just this one section that relies on this one source, then there may be hope ;)

The days are flying, but I look forward to New Year's...the first break of the year :D Hope you had a Merry Xmas, and have a Happy New Year too! Take care - Ncmvocalist (talk) 02:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Sivaji

Lage Raho Munna Bhai - An Indian film featured article.

You could refer to the above for assistance in any cases. Sivaji was an immaculate film, becoming the biggest blockbuster Tamil cinema has ever seen.

When I first began editing the article, it missed a narrow GA after about three months of work. However now its got the potential. Things associated with its success are decisive, or otherwise it'll just be another film. Make a paragraph or two, to include its success (or just improve and write more with the box-office rankings). The Silver Jubille matter should be linked there, to tell the truth. Your doing a fine job, keep it up and ask for assisttance if needed.

Moving hooks to DYK update

Howdy, I saw that you recently moved a hook that you nominated to the next update. While I'm just becoming familiar with moving things to the next update myself, I do think you may want to avoid moving your own hooks over--at least for the sake of transparency. While it looks like Howcheng verified that the new hook was fine, it is best to let an independent and impartial editor make the final call on whether or not the article gets featured. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think it is a big deal but another editor may move your nom back to the suggestion page. Though I do want to thank you for work in creating articles and contributing to the DYK process. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 04:43, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

This is not vandalism. But then more than talking about the positive aspects, only the negative aspects have been talked about. The reviews were positive with one negative line.

re:your review

Thanks for reviewing! The content of your actual review is great. But if you're waiting for editors to make some fixes as you outline in your review, you should place the article on hold by replacing the GA template at the top with {{GAonhold|~~~~~}}. Then you should note that you have done so at the main WP:GAC page, under the nomination listing for the film with #: {{GAOnHold|ArticleName}} ~~~~. The templates and the steps are summarized at the main GAC page. I know it's a bit complex, so don't hesitate to ask any additional questions you might have VanTucky 21:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I removed that passage from the page. People very, very commonly use GA as a stepping stone to FA, so saying those candidates that could meet FA can't be GA is absurd. All that would happen if you nominated Lagaan for FA is that it would stay GA if it failed and it would automatically be switched to FA if it passed. I can see how that passage would be confusing, so I removed it. VanTucky 05:51, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Sivaji audio.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sivaji audio.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:11, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
