Preity
Hey Bollyjeff. Thanks for contributing to the Preity Zinta article. The info you added was actually there until a few months ago when Rahul (BOLLYWOOD DREAMZ) and I agreed that it is not very important and I removed it. My opinion is that stars appear regularly on different shows of this sort, and donating their winnings is quite the normal thing to do and is to be expected. Zinta, like many other celebs, has appeared on numerous such shows and always donated the money she won. Making a list of all of them or mentioning some would not make sense IMO, nor could it be classified "humanitarian work" as such. Your opinion? Shahid •  Talk 2 me  21:55, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * LOL of course she had donated hers as well - I saw the show and it's actually there on YouTube if I'm not mistaken. Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  09:22, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello
First of all I'd like to say I am sorry for my angrey behavior the other day, I was truly pissed and I lashed out. I do maintain the fact that none of the things I said were directed at u. That said, I have no objection to being friends if U still like that. The only friend I had here was Ankit and well, I guess U know the whole story of his departure. I deserved that block tho, I did go against Wiki rules knowing it well enough, but she just, pisses me off to no end, anyway, that's abt all I had to say. Cheers. --Meryam90 (talk) 14:34, 9 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I know. but she did it with Ra.One and then just went away and came back to Don2 :P Oh! why must I suffer?! Just why?! :D No just kidding, I need to learn how to keep my cools really, I was good at it so far :P anyway, talking abt WP:crystal.

 * I mean, look at Dhoom 3: Back in Action, filming will start at December 2012 and it already has an article. Btw, doesn't that fall under WP:Crystal? --Meryam90 (talk) 16:17, 9 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks man, looks good so far, but I am sure it will grow bigger slowly as time passes. seriously, just released I am really kinda new to wiki...lol I just created my first article. :D Oh btw, I was thinking, Can Don 2 make it to GA now or does it need more work? --Meryam90 (talk) 18:44, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I know what U mean, but seems like a trend now to update every lil detail abt Box Office, esp for film released last year, I mean Ready, Bodyguard, Rockstar, The dirty picture, Ra.One and etc...I love how Hollywood movies just update the North America gross and the rest of the world's. Anyway, I've been thinking about that; getting a PR. Will list it then and see how it goes :D --Meryam90 (talk) 19:21, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

What do you mean by "give up"? Don't tell me you you're retiring, because I am not gonna let it happen!! And what the... you mean by saying that you do nothing useful? This? This? This or maybe this??? I say take a one-day break, but you are one of the best editors working on articles related to Indian films right now, and if you give up... well, I'm not going to even think about it. Don't make me lost hope on this project. Shahid •  Talk 2 me  19:49, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

 * And last time, I promise: NOOOOO!!! Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  19:52, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Take it easy. I meant giving up on reverting all the silly unsourced nonsense. I still want to do some useful stuff, but when I do something I like it to stay done. I feel its a waste of my time doing things like reverting x and y additions to a filmography because its not sourced or filming yet. It just comes back 5 minutes later. Anyway, thanks for the nice comments; I am not going anywhere. BollyJeff  ||  talk  20:04, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * SIGH. Look, Wikipedia can be a bit uneasy at times, or often actually, but it's a phase. I've learnt to see it as a good experience to learning and I like editing even if there are tons of idiots on here. I remember when you started editing, you wondered why I was reverting so many editors with similar edit summaries. I'm sure you do understand it a bit more right now - it's just impossible to keep track of each edit and fix every mistake and teach every new user how to edit WP and what not to do. Many of them vandalise, many have some sort of agenda (adding POV, slanders or just load articles with scripts), and then, everything that needs to be fixed is left to just a few people who really want to see the project evolve. It's quite a task, and at some point you get fed up because you want to do contructive stuff. After all, my time on here is limited, and so is yours. I can say right now that unless the rules are changed significantly, nothing in this regard is going to change. Shahid  •  Talk 2 me  20:41, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Shriya Saran
Yes I do have those reference. Did you had ever visit the article on Saguni?? An article on Sify where Shriya had said that she was not approached for Saguni. 

About Hero, there is another article from The Times of India which confirmed that Yami Gautam will star in Hero replacing Shriya. 

A small request why can't you search the web instead of sending text to me?? For Nuvve Nenu there is plenty of sources, the controversy where Telangana protesters thrown stone on Shriya's caravan was ocured during the filming Nuvve Nenu. At least for this, please search yourself, I's currently working on the other article so please kindly figure out yourself. Finally, do not stick to the old facts do check the web in order to keep updating the facts in wiki.

(Ason27 (talk) 13:39, 25 January 2012 (UTC))


 * Instead asking me to do the fixation on Saguni's article, why no you do that?? By the way the filming of Nuvve Nena almost complete. The name of the film is under consideration but most probably it will be named as Nuvva Nena since many website had already mention about it. I wonder how can you hold so many good articles without surfing the web?? (Ason27 (talk) 14:05, 25 January 2012 (UTC))

Re Paranoia
As per the NFA archive, it says 'acting'. Source says "He has acted in Ketan Mehta's feature film Holi and a short film by Aditya Bhattacharya." Source also says he was assistant director on Manzil Manzil and Zabardast. I was not sure whether to include it or not.

As per rediff interview, you can say that it was acting in Paranoia. This is what Aditya Bhattachary said, "Aamir and me were classmates in school. In 1983, we had done a short film called Paranoia. We -- along with Mansoor Khan -- also had a band together. So we were good friends. He did not want to be an actor -- he was quite confused about what he wanted to do in life. Some people had their doubts about him, as he was short and had big ears. He was not star material. But I had absolute faith in him" (2nd page).

Katrina Kaif
I have reverted your edits at the article for Katrina Kaif. I looked at the link you referenced and it states that "There is ultimately no consensus about which language to use." Furthermore, an RfC was recently held to discuss this issue for the Katrina Kaif article and that should be honoured. Thanks, AnupamTalk 15:52, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I will be contacting him in the near future to address this issue. In the mean time the RfC should be respected. Thanks, AnupamTalk 15:59, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't mean to revert your other edits. I restored your other edits. I will contact the reviewing administrator and figure this out. With regards, AnupamTalk 16:06, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I left a message on User:DeltaQuad's talk page and will see what he has to say. If I stand corrected, I will be more than happy to allow your to proceed. I just can't see how a mass removal of scripts is helpful. Also, even if your proposal passes, Jacqueline Fernandez is not Indian; Sri Lanka is a separate country. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 16:17, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, I understand. If you feel an article should not really have a script then you can remove it. I think articles like Katrina Kaif can keep the script, since an RfC was specifically held on that issue. Feel free to keep your edits on the Lisa Ray article. Have a good day, AnupamTalk 16:32, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Indic scripts
For film articles, "Indic scripts for film language and English translation". Is that the policy? I dont mind it. But then shouldnt IPA also be included? Because the purpose of having IPA on other articles was to facilitate non-indians to vocalize the jibber-jabber we do. Irrespective of what the article is, if the words are non-english they should be able to pronounce it. Isnt it? Also for English translation do we use references or we translate them ourselves? For example, You don't get Life a Second Time is not the real translation of ZNMD.

Dhoom 2
I really appreciate the great work you did on this article; I just happened to come by this as a part of the GAs in the Indian Cinema task force, and decided to give a look. And frankly, I was rather unpleasantly surprised. Forgive me, but I must list out some things I saw extremely lacking in the article :-


 * Dhoom 2 is a Hindi film, and hence a full-nation release. I cannot understand why there is only one line written about the national record (first week) and the rest of the box office section deals with Kochi, Chennai etc. whose collections contribute barely a fraction to the total gross earned by the film. In all ideality, the film's gross should be reported on a national scale, and that can be done using BOI figures.


 * Initially, it had become quite the trend to use millions in Indian film articles; that practice, however, has long since expired and it has been agreed upon to use Indian notations crore and lakh. The fact that Dhoom 2 still uses 350 million-type figures is disconcerting.


 * The INRConvert template is missing in several instances; this is a new development, so hopefully it should be rectified soon enough.


 * The lead section mentions the worldwide gross as 1.34 billion; however, the infobox (and correct figure) shows 150 crore.


 * The reviews section does not mention even one review from the Indian side; all of them are from the US. This is unacceptable by MOS:FILM standards, which clearly states that local film reviews should always be preferred.

Otherwise, the article seems worthy of the GA tag. I can understand that you worked on this article nearly two years back, and I'm informing you as a friend; had some other editor chanced upon it, he could have had the article demoted. I hope you can rectify these mistakes, as we certainly don't want to lose GAs, especially from Indian Cinema. Cheers! ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:51, 13 February 2012 (UTC)]


 * Sure thing. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 18:01, 13 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Nice work; however, I don't think you understood the box office section part. In Bollywood films, no article mentions any regional figures; its always something like (national) first weekend, first week, second week, third week (if big enough) and lastly the total NET (not gross) and worldwide gross. The Kochi-Andhra part shouldn't be there at all; I'll remove it, and change the gross India figure to net. The Indian reviews section needs tweaking and some additions, and I'll help out with that. I've struck out the parts completed, and hopefully I can dig up on BOI figures and add some stuff to the BO section. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 06:34, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Reply:


 * Ah yes, I didn't replace it; I will, when I can dig up that info on the first weekend, week etc. collections. Being a rather older film, it'll be tough to find it.


 * They aren't direct quotes? Oops. I thought they were. Argh! Now I have to go through all those reviews and find suitable quotes :(.


 * The outdated part happens for every film actually; that's why its sometimes important to have a dedicated editor(s) on every film article so that periodically they can update the ranking. I did leave the part of it being the highest-grossing film of all time at its time of release; I don't think we can bypass this problem, its more or less a manual one. Even the recent films like Agneepath will back up in the rankings once some of the big Khan releases come, and subsequently its rankings will also have to be changed. Nothing that can be done with that actually.

Hope this helps. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 13:39, 14 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Bollyjeff, this is Dhoom 2. I hope you remember exactly how many records this film broke at the time of release. For its time, yes those figures are absolutely notable and should be put up. The only problem is that the figures are rather difficult to find from RS.


 * You could say that again; of all the articles, Ra.One needs a LOT of review cutback. Wouldn't you agree :D ?


 * I don't think that's what is usually done; perhaps we can get a bit of consensus on this. That way, it'll be equally applicable to all film articles.


 * ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 13:49, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

So its enough to just write a line from the review; I'm not very used to that, and frankly I don't find that very good-looking. Besides, I doubt Dhoom 2 has too many reviews - at the maximum 10-15 (in contrast to Ra.One's 38). Right now, I think we should concentrate on finding all the major reviews and putting it in the article, otherwise technically the article fails the "Complete" criteria of GA. I really hate consensus-making, especially in films, and I'm looking for an excuse to avoid another fan-war. let's hope for the best. Btw, please take a look at the Ra.One reviews section and tell me what you think. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 14:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Somebody has changed the BO section of Lage Raho Munna Bhai, as its looking really stupid right now and has some terribly fanboyistic material in it. Perhaps we can get the best of both worlds, and use a big BO section and a big reviews section :D. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 15:36, 14 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Exactly; its because some of these GAs/FAs are not maintained that the unfortunate article demotion takes place. The mindset is that once an article reaches FA status, its over; move on. And that's quite harmful in the long run (and more so for film articles). ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 16:25, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

List of highest-grossing Bollywood films
Okay, let me explain. You are obviously very well-versed with the copyright problems that the list faced, as a result of which we had to opt for a "extract" format. The "extract" format was adopted only for certain lists because those lists seemed to directly copy from Box Office India's website. However, the month-gross table is not present in the BOI website. If you carefully note, all the box office figures are from BOI.

Now, I remember Moonriddengirl as well as Mlauba (who implemented the 1,3,6,10 table format) decided to leave the month-gross table intact. The reason stated was "The said table is a creative extension of referenced box office figures which does not violate copyright". Meaning that even if the table is not there in BOI, the content of the table is from BOI and so the table is usable; in fact, its the only table we can use in full because BOI has no such listing. Of course, if what you meant was that I should add a reference for each box office figure, I can surely do that. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 13:05, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes there was WP:OR at the back of my head but I guessed that if an administrator (who is a part of the Wikimedia Board) found no fault, there was no problem. The list was compiled by me at a time when the entire Top 30 list was present; I had to go through the list and find the highest-grossers. Since then its been periodically updated. Yes yes, I know it sound a hell of a lot like OR but since the figures are all from BOI, and are there for everyone to see ... I don't understand what you mean by "adding a line or two about how the list was made". I can add references citing each film's box office figure. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 13:33, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * As I said, I went through the entire Top 30 list of highest grossers and checked the release dates of them. According to that I made the list. Its a good luck that all the months' top grossers were also top 30 grossers :P You mean I should write that in the article? "The list is derived from the Top 30 list of highest-grossing Bollywood films"? Regarding the Krrish thing, it is used even with Hollywood (List of highest-grossing films) that the LAST release to have passed the previous record is stated; if two such releases come in a single year then the higher grosser comes in the table. I doubt, however, that Krrish was the last film to beat Gadar, but I shall surely check. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 14:06, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Btw, Krrish netter 69.25 crores which is considerably less than Gadars net of 75.5 crores. There is no question of Krrish having broken that record. And I checked through the BOI list, and the list in the Wikipedia one is perfectly correct. ~*~AnkitBhatt'~*~ 14:27, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, a perennial Hollywood-Bollywood problem. The difference in "gross" and "net gross" (simply Net) is that Gross is the actual amount a film earns at the box office. The Net is the final amount remaining after deduction of entertainment taxes. Such a difference doesn't exist in Hollywood. However, in Bollywood, we should use the "Net gross" (Net) figures alone. Gross can be added as a bonus information. To note, the worldwide theatrical revenue is "Gross", not "Net". Confusing, isn't it? ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 14:34, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

My, so many inconsistencies! The opening week figure is completely incorrect, heavily inflated, and that's whether you take Net or Gross. Here is the list of all-time opening weeks; Krrish is ranked 26. Net - 29.67 crore, Gross - 41.56 crore. The article should have the net figures. In the same section the editor gave 75 cr first week, and then 69 cr total. Talk about contradictions! And there looks to be a lot of similar problems in the section. I'll see if I can clean up a bit. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 14:47, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * The list is outdated, but the figures are accurate. I was just telling you how much Krrish earned in its first week; that amount certainly doesn't change with time :P No problem. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 15:10, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Well i'll try to clear the confusion :P Box Office India announces how much each film earns worldwide. That worldwide figure is a GROSS figure because its not possible to account for complex tax differences in so many countries. However, in India what matters is what the theaters and producers get at the end. And that is NET, not Gross. So, in the infobox, we should write the worldwide GROSS while everywhere else in the article, the NET values should be written. Note, there is no rule to keep out domestic GROSSES - you can add them if the figures are available, but remember that NET is always the priority. Actually, whatever BOI reports is the net; the gross is added later to the website. So yeah, you should write the 29 crore thing in the section but you should leave the 117 crore figure as it is. Hope this helps. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 15:40, 2 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I am really sorry for the late reply; I was a bit busy. The actual film industry's method of calculating success is by a method called return of investment (ROI); it highlights all the revenue a film earns for the producers/distributors. That ROI model is used to calculate success of a film in the industry, so BOI works that way and ranks films by the distributor share as its the share that goes to the producers/disributors. A small example, My Name Is Khan has a higher net revenue than Housefull, but the latter's distributor share is higher. BUT, in Wikipedia, we always go by the actual figures. In case of Hollywood, its the gross; in case of Bollywood its the net. The distributor share is, again, ancillary information. I hope this helps :) ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 13:12, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Your AIV report
Hi Bollyjeff, could you add here a link to a guideline (which I presume exists somewhere) on what exactly a "release date" is? I've seen this argued all over, 0-day hacked leak, rushed release to respond to the hack, official release date (usually a Tuesday), released in another country before official release in main/home country, 2nd release with bonus track - so hopefully it's laid out in one place somewhere. I really think the IP you reported was acting in good faith, just misunderstanding, and you did give a pretty brief explanation mixed in with the vandalism warnings. I will keep an eye on them, and if they keep at it after a patient and full explanation, I will block them, or a AN/I or AIV report if I'm not around. Franamax (talk) 18:35, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

I've been working on an expansion of the highest-grossing films by month table in the List of highest-grossing Bollywood films. Its there in my sandbox right now. Could you give your comments on it?

 * I think it looks nice, but is not verifiable, being comprised of a lot of original research. BollyJeff  ||  talk  12:59, 11 April 2012 (UTC)


 * No, just like the original list (without expansion) the expanded list is derived from present lists on Box Office India. Here and all the yearly lists here were the sources, much like how the non-expanded list is derived from the same sources. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Fine, then add those two links as sources for the section. The section presently has zero sources, and needs some. BollyJeff  ||  talk  18:23, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Krrish_3
I don't think we need this section at all, do we? It barely has any content, and is rather immaturely written (the stuff about Rakesh Roshan clarifying it with two sites). The rest can be put under the production section, without a sub-section (due to lack of content), until expansion. What do you say? <font face="Batik Regular"><font color="#00703C">Secret of success 06:16, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * When it is abundantly clear that this really the title, like when theatrical posters come out, yes, but it doesn't hurt to have it there now; it's a stub article anyway. Given that people have been changing the title EVERY DAY, I really think it should stay there for a while. If you think it is "immaturely written", well you are free to change that, but it just paraphrases what the sources said. BollyJeff  ||  talk  11:45, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * What good is it for two sentences to have a section? Does something like "Rakesh Roshan clarified with rediff blah blah...Rakesh Roshan also clarified with Bollywood Hungama" sound uh..normal? Completely against WP:NOT. Like I said, we can keep only the "casting" as a sub-section and remove the headers of all the other sections (music, title, etc.) and merge it at the beginning of the "Production", right? <font face="Batik Regular"><font color="#00703C">Secret of success 12:01, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey mate, she definitely has. ;-) Honestly, the images do not matter to me as much as the quality of the article, but I sincerely believe it does satisfy criterion #8 because no free images could show her during this period, arguably the most successful of her career, as opposed to the many other images you've removed.

Your Signature Breaks Templates
The two pipes (||) in your signature break templates. The pipe is part of the template syntax, and when you use your signature in a template, the parser reads the pipe as indicating the next parameter in the template. You should either remove the pipes, or replace them with the pipe template pipe, to stop them breaking the template syntax.

For an example see Talk:Krrish. Notice in GA nominee your signature is cut off half way, and the timestamp is coloured green? While this might seem minor, it does create problems when User:GA bot tries to parse the template. I expect that this may have affected other templates as well. -- Chris 07:01, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Hello Ravishankar, i saw yours and another User:Rpaigu's edits on the article. But i have reverted those. You should not remove the "citation needed" tags placed on the article without providing the citations. Also most important, this is ENCYCLOPEDIA. Not some fan forum. Hence stuff like "her film roles along with her screen persona contributed to a change in the concept of a Hindi film heroine", " Bharti was also an expert driver", "With her parents' permission, she signed up for both films", "That was the green signal for other film makers to enter the fray." and what not, should not be here. You should learn how these articles should be. You might wanna go through some better articles about Indian actresses. Try Dimple Kapadia, Preity Zinta, Vidya Balan, etc. Also go through what Reliable Sources are. IMDB, Flicker, enotes.com, gundogtimes.com, popcorn.oneindia.com are not reliable sources. In case of doubt feel free to ask me or Bollyjeff or any other experienced editors. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 18:52, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

I agree with what he said ^. Also have a look at Shriya Saran, which I worked on, and Kareena Kapoor. Notice that the GAs have an average of 100 references, whereas Divya Bharti now has 2. That should give you some idea of the level of work involved. Especially when you are talking about someone with a controversial death, you really have to back up everything that is written with good sources. These may be hard to find, which would explain why the article has not been developed well up to now. Good luck. BollyJeff &#124;  talk  02:58, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Dear, I personally think this is one of the dumbest reasons I've ever heard. This actress came out roughly 20 years ago, and it's quite impossible to find suitable info. with 100 references. If you're asking me to try sourcing statements like " Some critics found analogies similar to Jesus, which Mankiewicz claims were set purposely as he himself finds the character to be a symbol of Christ." Then Congratulations! you've fixed all the problems. You've kicked the pig! (Here please do not consider it as a personal attack). But whatever you are saying is doesn't seems practical. well wishesRpaigu (talk) 18:17, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I know it is hard, like I said that is why it hasn't been done up to now. I am not saying that you have to have 100 refs, but you do have to cover controversial statements with a ref, or remove them. Also, not all refs need to be internet links. Book refs are good if you can find them; search GoogleBooks on her name for example. Videos can also sometimes be used. BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  19:04, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Good article criteria defines the basic requirements. If you look a few paragraphs above this comment, at User_talk:Bollyjeff, someone already gave a pretty good explanation, and we pointed to some existing Bollywood actress GAs. Generally in plain talk, 1: the subject must be fully covered, which is going to be a lot of info, since she is a major figure in Indian cinema, and 2: everything must be reliably sourced.

The best reliable sources are the newspapers, which most certainly publish these things. Check TOI, Mumbai Mirror websites, go to their Search panels and check. Regarding the Google Search, I had a few doubts regarding your searching abilities since you failed to find the Masand review which popped up practically immediately for me. I shall also search for the sources, alright? But that may have to wait until tomorrow. Regarding the National Awards, the document released is compiled by a number of reliable people including film industry members, critics etc. Its only published by the Government, hence its reliable. There's a big difference. I'm happy to see the progress of the references, and assuredly you need not get tensed up. It will get sorted out. Cheers. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 18:46, 13 June 2012 (UTC)


 * The first reference is an Indiatimes source (which hosts The Times of India) and hence it is reliable; the page is only decorated in the Filmfare manner. Could you point out a GA which uses the second source? Of course, there is also WP:OSE but I would not like to bring that up. If you find me tough, you are free to approach any other reviewer to carry out the process. I'm just saying this, but other editors have liked my detailedness in reviews, and I prefer to keep it that way. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 19:04, 13 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Well so much for lack of IIFA resources. I found a reliable source which states that Krrish won Best Actor here. The other two awards were found here. See? Now let's get around this and start adding the necessary reliable sources. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 15:08, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Highbeam Research
Hi. Not sure if you have applied for this or not but in a recent article on a 2004 independent Filipino movie I found this to be an incredible resource and found lots of Filipino newspaper articles not picked up by google. I strongly recommend this for anyone who edits articles on films and cinema personalities to get this asap as it wil be an invaluable research tool and will often turn up detailed articles which will not appear in google. You can gain access to the full articles by applying for it at HighBeam/Applications. For sure it'll have tons on Indian actors and films which so far you've been unable to access on google. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:48, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

I know you are very interested in this article, so it may make you happy to know that I've got a big interest in improving the article now. What say we collaborate together and make it a worthy FA? I am now beginning to understand the statement you made regarding conflicting information, and I guess that will be troublesome. I've already re-worked the lead, though it will be subject to some changes when the whole article is revamped. Cheers. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 14:18, 9 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Would you believe me if I told you that I have a minimum of thirty solid, high-quality reliable sources waiting to be unleashed on the article? I spent much of today gathering them. Plus, I have the constant blessings of the terrifically useful Highbeam, so the number may hit 40 or even 50. No worries about the references; online sources are adequate in number, I can assure you that. In fact, with the amount of content I have fallen into, there has to be great planning as to where and how the content goes. I'll be doing this tomorrow. If you find any useful sources, do not hesitate to use them. Cheers. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 18:23, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Taare Zameen Par
Hey, an editor has been constantly making changes to the lead today regarding the movie title and refuses to discuss it. I've given up today to avoid edit warring, but just wanted to give a heads up if you hadn't seen it. Ω pho  is  19:16, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, do you mind giving your opinion on the matter in the discussion page? I tried opening a discussion with the editor, but again he just reverts without giving his reasons. Thanks. Ω  pho  is  23:10, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I opened a dialogue on the talk page, but I'll go ahead and post a link to it on his talk page. I had requested your opinion on the talk page so that a consensus on the matter could be built for which presentation to use. I've also posted on the task force page asking for people's opinions. This user previously kept changing "Taare Zameen Par" throughout the article to "Like Stars on Earth", and didn't stop until more than one editor showed disagreement. Personally, I think he has just been purposely disrupting this page since we disagreed with him on that matter. As for the previous discussions, this is really the only Bollywood article I've worked on, so I don't really know where those discussions are located. The lead stuff is based on other Bollywood articles, and the Bollywood MoS differ somewhat from the regular film MoS. Ω  pho  is  23:42, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Hey, I was able to get an admin to close the discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(films). The conclusion by the admin was "Closing this per the call on ANI. The conclusion is to continue following the advice in WP:COMMONNAME: the article's name should be the name mostly commonly used in English sources. If it is the original Indian name, use that. Redirect all other titles". Is that something that should be added to a policy/guideline page? Ω  pho  is  21:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * BTW, what do you think we should do regarding Jsigned? I can live with the current version, but personally I think the DVD title should be placed later in the lead. The film was released in cinemas internationally as TZP, and the "Like Stars on Earth" title only applies to the later DVD release. Since the lead section actually discusses the DVD release, I think it would make most sense to put it there. If you agree with me and are willing to fight for it (Secret of Success may also), then we can try dicussing it again on the talk page. If Jsigned refuses to discuss it and keeps reverting, then we can just report him for 3RR or report him at Requests for comment/User conduct. Anyways, thanks for your assistance so far. Ω  pho  is  21:41, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not willing to fight for it. WP is collaborative after all, and it won't keep me awake at night.  I am not sure that a policy change is actually needed because they mainly just confirmed that WP:commonname applies here.  I would just keep the link to these discussions in case it comes up again.

Bollywood Hungama
A dead link is a situation where the link simply doesn't show up, and where nobody can get access to, unless fixed. The recent black-out of Bollywood Hungama did not create such a case, rather it only limited the number of users who could access the links. People with authorization can access the links without trouble, and specifically, as per guidelines here, "Sources can be expensive, print-only, or available only in certain places. A source does not stop being reliable simply because you personally aren't able to obtain a copy." Secret of success (talk) 16:46, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think you got my point. If replacements are available, though replacement would be a good option, it is not mandatory, and nor does it mean that the present links are unreliable. If they are the only site to have the information, it doesn't matter, so as long as the information isn't highly subjective. If it is, (the recent dabangg khan request you turned down) maybe we could take your approach. PS. You would be interested to see through this once more, regarding dead links in GA's. Secret of success (talk) 17:09, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * There, there, we don't wanna get nasty, do we? The criteria we have to follow to get an article to GA is fixed at the moment. Period. If you feel that it stands too low for your level, why don't you take a giant leap and chase FA? Note this. If you have two articles, one as good as a GA and another as good as FA, it makes absolutely no difference in a GA review, and will not get you any special recognition in such a situation. Secret of success (talk) 07:43, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The last time I looked, I never asked you to make sections "bigger" in Sholay like you did here. All my queries were mainly about prose and unsourced statements. In Farhan Akhtar, the article has been expanded to the maximum possible extent. I added all information I could find about him. I will try to take care of prose issues if you list them, but my query is about the article's coverage. Because of the fact that the film career is really long, the early life section appears comparatively short. But it isn't. If you are expecting something like Kareena Kapoor or Shahrukh Khan, you will have to walk away disappointed because Akhtar is not as popular as those two. Secret of success (talk) 04:19, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Look, I'm not asking you to pass the article downright. All I'm saying is, avoid comparing articles when you do a GA review and do not expect the extraneous features of one in another in order to pass it. Secret of success (talk) 04:19, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

 * We will soon resume work on Mother India. That sfn style of referencing is not a prerequisite for FA. As you noted, it is good for articles that use book sources extensively,,but not that much for articles mainly based on multiple web sources.

Hi, Bollyjeff....i think you are one of the best Editors on Wikipedia and I ad.ire you,but the problem is priyanka Chopra article is too short and it should be included in Recording artists category,because she had released her single and will release her album after that which I makes her an artist like Jennifer Lopez,who was also an actor.hope you can help.(Pks1142 (talk) 12:08, 7 October 2012 (UTC))
 * Hi Pks1142, I'm IndianBio and to answer your question, no, Chopra has not yet taken singing as a career like Jennifer Lopez and other actress/singers have, like Madonna, or Mariah Carey or the late Whitney Houston.

PC Miss India
Bolly, regarding the Miss India contest for PC, I have an old Femina magazine, where the contest is detailedly analyzed. The cover is of PC, Lara and Diya with Shahrukh Khan. Title of the article on PC is "Adabtability comes easy", written by Satya Saran, dated March 15, 2000.

 * What a coincidence Greatuser! I just now removed the image you added on Salman Khan and then accidentally came across this msg you left here. I have removed that image from infobox. The one i added is recognized as Valued Image on Commons and hence is better for article. I will also be removing your other images from articles as they are not useful for infoboxes. Eg: File:Khan_at_audio_release_of_JTHJ.jpg has SRK from knee till head. That view does not show his face properly. Whereas the previous image File:Shahrukh interacts with media after KKR's maiden IPL title.jpg was his closeup. Now SRK hasn't gone very old in 5 months that you need to update his image. In case you are adding new images, make sure they are better than the previous ones. §§<span style="font-family:;font-size:;color:;background-color:;"> §§ {T/C} 11:55, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Irrelevant inclusion to In My City
Hi, Well you what's happening.someone is saying me a fan boy??? Ok I want to ask if I would say to add the following thing to Priyanka Chopra article along with reference will you..  Priyanka Chopra's team thought to promote her on Hollywood by shooting her video like Rose from titanic and her team arranged her interviews ,film interviews.And a known writer said if she can make her place in Hollywood,then she will be a pioneer in Asia.

''Seeing that many pop artists use music and reality-based videos to create awareness around their upcoming releases, Chopra's team planned to create different promotional contents, like interviews of the artist, and behind-the-scenes footage with long-and-short documentaries, that would be released to the internet. The videos and interviews would focus on Chopra's journey in becoming a pop artist. Since most of the top ten hits in India are mainly songs from Bollywood films—where the actors lip-synch to the song—Chopra's label wanted to promote her as the first Bollywood actress who can also sing. According to Lee Hawkins from The Wall Street Journal, "If Chopra is able to convincingly establish herself as a respected singer, she will be a pioneer in South Asia. Throughout 2011, Anthony Saleh, one of Carter's partners at Atom Factory Inc., worked closely with Chopra for several weeks. Beyond selling music, the team planned to use Chopra's popularity and tap into ancillary revenue streams such as corporate sponsorships, high-fashion modeling, film and television, concert touring, and music publishing. Saleh added that they also "plan on developing [Chopra] as a songwriter''
 * You would say -NO
 * In the same read this you'll understand

This doesn't. Make sense right.It seems the article is becoming college of blog columns.Here it looks what her team thought,her team planned,her team arranged headlines,someone is predicting her future.Does it talk about promotion.

If you have to include to any article will you add like this.pls Say something bcoz I'm tired of IndianBio taunting me.Im tired explaing this to indianBio — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pks1142 (talk • contribs) 17:43, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Autumn-imh.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.

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).

Priyanka Chopra lead
How are you doing? Well I have some concern over GleekVampire's edit on Chopra's lead section. I saw he removed details of her recent success and Filmfare Awards. I know we can't add much to lead but if you see even Hollywood personalities like Meryl streep, there is detail of every won academy award and others. Since, FA are prominent in India so they must lie in the lead. Also, he removed recent success of her films. Again if you see other pages, they have recent success as well in the lead. It shows she had commercial success as well along with critical. If these are not included in lead then it may cause negative effect on readers as most of readers only love to read introduction lead. That's why I am saying it gives more effective impression that she also had commercial success as well. Pls comment on this.Green Parakeet (talk) 09:31, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey Bollyjeff, I had added the source, you asked about her family sacrifice on her talk page check outGreen Parakeet (talk) 17:50, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's necessary to add each and every Filmfare Award she has won in the lead. This sentence covers all the awards - "Throughout her career, Chopra has received many awards, including a National Film Award for Best Actress and Filmfare Awards in four distinct categories." Take a look at the Vidya Balan and Kareena Kapoor articles as well, the editors have done the same. Secondly, Barfi! was a commercially successful film so I don't see the point in adding Don and Agneepath in the lead.GleekVampire (talk) 23:24, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I think that GleekVampire is right on this one. The summary sentence means we should not list awards separately in the lead. Also, there are enough films listed in the lead already. Let's not turn this into an Ajay Devgan or Salman Khan article with a huge listing of films in the lead.   BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  01:09, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Don't be so rude......I am just saying because that would be helpful to us for the main article. Main article would gain more space and I think it's fine to have another filmography article, Christian Bale filmography is an example of this and I think it's fine. Rest the details of directors and gross, I think it's obvious because when you talk about films you would like to talk about the highlights of the films..... The directors and the budget air the gross. If that was not important then, those article must not have passed FL. Its a huge thing to pass FL.
