Talk:Manna Dey

List
Could somebody who speaks Hindi or is with Manna Dey's work fix up the discography section? It's really chaotic right now, and it's difficult to tell which are albums and which are songs. RedRollerskate 17:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Edit request on 29 July 2013
Just a few basic copyedits to improve the overall quality of the article.

 * Yellow check.svg Partly done: Date formats weren't changed, and some information in the last section looked like it added new information without a source.

Removal of maintenance tag
removed the Template:refimprove tag from the article. I diagree with this. The article has the exact problems which refimprove discusses. The biography is overlong, and has very few inline references. It would be worth seeing what obituary writers consider to be the important parts of the story of Dey's life, and trim and reference the biography accordingly. --LukeSurlt c 15:34, 24 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Please list here the specific improvements you'd like to see. Keep in mind that inline references are not required.  You should point out specifically which information is dubious that you are challenging.  Rather than slapping on a maintenance tag that provides no specifics, and just damages the appearance of the article (the reader can already see that it doesn't have inline references in some sections), please make suggestions on the talk page and see if you can find a source or two to provide a couple references.  Pick up a shovel and dig for a minute or two, and others will join you.  Jehochman Talk 15:40, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * There is no source for any of the facts in the first, second and fourth subsections of the Film career section (and the third has only a couple of references). Only one of the Manna_Dey is supported by a reference. The problems with the verifiability of this article are extensive, the vast majority of this article's content cannot be verified. If the Template:refimprove tag is not appropriate for this article, then I'm not sure where it would ever be appropriate. --LukeSurlt c 15:51, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Bingo! You win the prize for correctly recognizing that maintenance tags are pretty much never appropriate on an article that is being watched by lots of editors.   They might be useful on a half-baked article that's just been started one or two editors and hasn't received much attention.  This article isn't one of those.  If you doubt the information, remove it.  When an editor tries to put it back, ask them to provide a reference. Jehochman Talk 17:52, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
