Talk:Ben Addelman

Untitled
A tag was put about duplication. But it is incorrect as actualy Ben Addelman and Samir Mallal have done the same three documentaries together as co-directors. You can check that with refernecce to the links to "Discordia", "Bombay Calling" and "Nollywood Babylon".

So this is not aduplication. Accordingly I will remove the erroneous automatic tag. I will do research to add other films of Ben Addelman if he has done films individually apart from Samir Mallal. I'll do the necessary reearch imediately to build up the page further. werldwayd (talk) 18:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. You are correct that the article is not a duplicate. The automatic tag was an indication that this article had substantial content similar to Samir Mallal. In this case, however, that is okay. :-) It should be noted that this article is, in part, derived from the other, but it is otherwise fine. :-) Cheers, Iamunknown 22:58, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
