[edit] Re:

Please have a look at WP:OWN. Thanks, Gnanapiti 19:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

See, first of all I don't have time and patience for all your non sense. If you had read the link that I've provided, you would not have replied back with same words. The fact that you haven't read the policy proves the point that neither you are interested in making wiki a better project, nor you have sense and brains to discuss with other editors. If you don't want to edit any article, don't edit, that's it. The world is not going to end. But please stop spamming talk pages with your gibberish. Gnanapiti 19:49, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You

This is you, isn't it? Gnanapiti 17:22, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Likely. Time for a usercheck.Anwar 17:45, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Well my time here will soon be up.

I'll be gone as soon as I change all the references to my name. It was good knowing you. All the best with the Sivaji article.~~ AVTN ^Talk 19:49, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sivaji

I think your article on sivaji is light years ahead of the current article. Please change the current page and nominate the article for GA. Also, to let you know - there are GA articles without pics/images. --Kalyan 03:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Any reason why you have not updated the Sivaji page with the contents on your userpage? --Kalyan 08:41, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

That's OK ... put the content and we shall face whatever they throw at us. --Kalyan 16:47, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Can you please upload the images and ensure that they are properly tagged. Thanks. --Kalyan 18:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sivaji

Nice work on the humungous amount of good data on Sivaji. You should probably spend more time cpediting and trimming out some fringe details to make this an FA. Good luck. Lotlil 17:50, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm currently working on a couple of other articles, so I may not be able to contribute heavily. But I see that the article is in good hands now. Kalyan and you should be able to bring it to stability. I do want to point out that some of the sources may be considered non-RS. The talk page to-do box lists behindwoods.com as non-RS. Then there's kollywoodtoday.com and a few other web sites that look fishy to me. I suggest you try and establish their reliability or find alternate sources for the information that you want to ascribe to them. Or may be start a thread on the talk page listing out all your sources and ask for opinions from people as to what can be considered RS etc. Lotlil 22:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your comments at Vimalkalyan's talk page

Regarding [1], please be aware that we were only improving the article. There were a number of false references that did not corroborate with the text they were placed next to. Also, a number of sources did not meet WP:RS, which is Wikipedia policy. There were many flow issues in the article, and all I did was clean it up. Please don't treat the page as your "own" article. This is Wikipedia, and everything we do here is a collaboration. Also, in regards to [2], please remove the scroll box. In accordance with [3], the scroll format for references shouldn't be used for Wikipedia articles because not every reference will show up in the hard copy of the article. Thanks, Nishkid64 (talk) 21:08, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The day is coming soon.

I will soon depart. You know my e-mail address right? It was fun being on wikipedia. I'll be asking you a favour in the near future. I'll be needing you to write a new article. AVTN 20:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sivaji (pre-production)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Sivaji (pre-production), by Anwar saadat (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Sivaji (pre-production) fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Sivaji (pre-production), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 12:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Link spam

Please stop link spamming (121 links) like this. Almost all the links are duplicates referring the same source. Also, consider reading Wikipedia policy on burden of proof. Whenever you add content to Wikipedia, please cite source. Don't tell other editors to give proof why your content ought not to be added. Anwar 15:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sivaji (film)

i know but give me a day before i re-introduce most of this content by this time tomorrow --Kalyan 18:13, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure, but please ensure that you bring in data which is sourced from non-gossip websites. I have an idea for the acceptability of data that people might contest otherwise and hence please don't introduce any non-controversial data. Also, focus on the all-round elements of the movie (like skin grafting ; usage of ballon lighting etc). --Kalyan 11:00, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

the data you have added does not meet our requirements. Give me atleast 12 hours and i shall clean-up these sections to more encyclopedic content (For Eg: battle with Dasavatharam is more gossip in nature than encyclopedic! If it needs to stay - the info needs to come from mainline news agencies rather than gossip websites). --Kalyan 11:55, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I have a request - please don't modify any data that i add/change without letting me know. i find it frustrating that i edit a section and a few hours later, you have modified it back to a different data. Let us discuss before we keep undoing each others work. Case in point - the lead section talks of the estimated budget being 70 to 96 crores, based on estimates from various sources and articles and i find that you have changed that data. I am reverting back to 70 to 96 crores and if you have a good reason to change it, discuss it either in the talk page or leave me a note and after we discuss and agree, you can implement the changes. that way, we are not stepping on each other's toes. --Kalyan 15:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks...

For the goodbye. Well, I'll be off then. I just come here to talk to people a bit now. ^_^ AVTN 15:16, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sivaji - why the changes?

• Cast comes before plot. unless you know who'z part of the cast, how can you explain the plot
• Wikilink in plot section. please read Wikipedia's Manual of Style. You should avoid wiki-linking any article more than once. Since rajini, shriya, suman and every of the cast is wikilinked in the lead para, you need not wikilink once again
• I am revert back the lead para to what i wrote. please don't change it unless you can explain each of the changes

in the current form, this article will never make GA or FA. please let me know what is important to you - sticking to your stance about the article or getting this to GA/FA? --Kalyan 15:44, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sivaji

Boss, I thought you guys were making progress... why did you have to add all of those sections again, without cleaning them up first ? I think you should revert back to Kalyan's last version before you made those additions, then clean up one section at a time in your sandbox or somewhere.. and then add it to the article. The way it is right now, the article is only inviting a whole bunch of tags. And, one more thing: when you replaced the lead portion with your own version, you removed some citations which were also being referred elsewhere. Those are all gone now, which is why Gnanapiti is questioning many claims in the box-office section. Lotlil 04:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to New Seven Wonders of the World

While I have no doubt that you meant well, I reverted your edit to New Seven Wonders of the World, as making changes to direct quotes is generally viewed as being bad form. --Kralizec! (talk) 17:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Suman (actor)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Suman (actor), by Scarian (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Suman (actor) seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Suman (actor), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

[edit] Category, Infobox, and Script Removals

Hello Universal Hero. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Recently, I have noted that you have removed a large amount of Urdu scripts and categories from Bollywood film articles. I am sure you were not aware that this issue was discussed in length here, among other places and it was decided that Urdu scripts etc. are indeed relevant in Bollywood film articles. It is helpful to understand the relationship between Hindi-Urdu and Bollywood when dealing with this subject area. Several Bollywood film covers that utilize Indian scripts give the two standard registers of Hindustani: Hindi and Urdu. You can take a look at some of these film covers yourself: Image:Awaaraposter.jpg, Image:Waqt 1965 film poster.JPG, Image:Sholayposter2.jpg, Image:Padosan film poster.jpg, etc. Other reasons are provided in the archives of Talk:Bollywood. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in the matter. With regards, Anupam^Talk 00:04, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello Universal Hero. Yes, speakers of North Indian (Indo-Aryan) languages probably have a better understanding of Bollywood films because their languages are all based on Sanskrit, from which Hindi/Urdu developed. The language of Bollywood movies can be called both Hindi or Urdu. Perhaps the A Little About Language section in this article will give some insight on the entire situation. Please also see this article, which also addresses the usage of both Hindi and Urdu scripts in Bollywood film articles. There is a section in the Bollywood article which contains a section on Asia. Please feel free to edit the article as you see fit. I hope this helps! Thanks again for your reply. With regards, Anupam^Talk 16:49, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invalid redirect

A tag has been placed on Balaji Shaktivel, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

[edit] Copyright

This image Image:AVMstudios.jpg appears to be a blatant copy from here [4] yet you claim you took the photo. Can you explain. GameKeeper 21:54, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I see you have now nominated this image for deletion. Do you acknowledge that you uploaded a copyrighted photo and falsified the copyright information? You said "Image taken by myself of the AVM studios situated in Vadapalani, Chennai", which appears to be an intentional deception. On a separate note I see that you think my account is a sockpuppet. I would encourage you to file a case against anyone you think is a sockpuppet. The details of how to do this are here Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. I would not take any offense if a report was filed against me and no offense is intended when I filed one against you. This is just a procedure to ensure wikipedia is not being vandalized. If you require any help with this I would be happy to answer any questions having just completed the procedure myself. GameKeeper 11:16, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

You have still not explained why you intentionally entered incorrect copyright information. I am oblidged to issue this warning GameKeeper 11:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC).

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

[edit] Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Universal Hero for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page.

[edit] R. Madhavan

In this diff you reverted my edits. You can disagree and it's OK (although I think you had to discuss it and respect the fact that I'm a user like you are). The only thing now is that you removed the MOSLOW tag. Please don't remove it until the films will be ordered in chronological order. If you are not aware of this, stick to the page indicated in the tag. I usually immediately correct tables when I see thse problems and you can see that in my edits, but I'm busy now.

An example:

• film (2006)
• film (2005)
• film (2004)

The right way to list the films is:

• film (2004)
• film (2005)
• film (2006)

Regards, --Shahid • ^Talk2me 23:28, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

BTW, in the page, it's written more than once that Madhavan was nominated for the National Film Awards. Do you have a proof/ref indicating so? --Shahid • ^Talk2me 23:40, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Of course, I ADORE him, I've seen his films and he's one of the best, undoubtedly. He is now set to star with my favorite - Preity Zinta in a film and it's great. Thanks for the compliment regarding my user page. As per the MOSLOW, I will do it myself now. My best regards, --Shahid • ^Talk2me 20:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

The only site where you can find free images is flickr.com. I will look for. --Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeh that's the same thing I'm trying to do with Preity Zinta's page. --Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:27, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I just came back from India...

And, I'm coming back to Wikipedia. Although not editing as much as at my peak, I will edit quite a bit. I see your having some problems of your own now? AVTN 19:26, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:Madhavan debut.jpg has a copyright section taken as you say from Image:Chopper-Bana.jpg. But Image:Madhavan debut.jpg has not been cropped down it is 1024x768 pixels, so

3 The screenshot has been cropped, and is of lower resolution than the original film (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).

is not true. Can you crop this picture and can you confirm the other copyright info is correct. In particular

2 The image is a screenshot from a promotional film trailer and intended for wide distribution.

, and you might want to correct

5 No free or public domain images have been located for this actress or this film.

[edit] Indian actor GAs

Thanks but User:Shshshsh deserves most of the credit on Preity Zinta - he has worked very har don it with obvious results -if you could give it a review some time and help GA it this would be a great help ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 21:37, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Als note I have created this template to go at the footer of tamil film pages. If you could start using it great:

v • d • e Kollywood Tamil films A-Z • 1930s • 1940s • 1950s • 1960s • 1970s • 1980s • 1990s • 2000s

Thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 21:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Yeh I know Madhavan is a GA. I saw that at the moment it was declared a GA on the talk page... I want to make Zinta's article a GA (and more precisely FA LOL). What do you think? Should I request this user Derek to review the article? --Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh thanks, I'll work on it further and then we'll see what the article suits for. Thanks again, regards --Shahid • ^Talk2me 14:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

BTW, have you seen Preity's Telugu films? --Shahid • ^Talk2me 14:36, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the table clean-up on Zinta's page. If you find something which you can help with, that will be great. I think my dream (making Zinta a FA) is yet to come true very soon. Oh that's great to see users loving Indian films yet non-Bollywood ones. I also like Indian non-Bollywood especially Telugu films. I'm a big fan of Chiranjeevi and I particularly adore his Pasivadi Pranam, which is one of the best thrillers ever been. --Shahid • ^Talk2me 17:32, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh OK, these I also like. My adorable Manisha Koirala who is one of my favorite actresses has acted in 6 high-budget Tamil films with actors like Kamal Hassan...

Btw, I've once read an interview of Sridevi where she admitted that her Tamil films had required much more talent and investment from her, cause she had roles which had been more serious and complex. --Shahid • ^Talk2me 17:50, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

See what I mean!!! Tamil films of the 1980s. Could you help out? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 17:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Ideally I'd love to see the tamil lists like Bollywood films of the 1990s. I'm afraid I can't understand the loose lists ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 17:57, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

I've noticed your good work on tamil cinema in the past its excellent. Its a shame there aren't so many editors such as yourself that contribute more on tamil cinema or indeed telugu or any of the others. Yes if you could develop these lists this is very important for Tamil film on wikipedia - yhis would be of great help. Thanks and congrats on your GA ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 18:04, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

If you could also link the actors and directors like the Bollywood lists with the [[ ]] this would help. Good luck!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 18:06, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

LOL WOW you're right!! Manisha has dissapeared!!! I saw her films, but since 2002 she has increasingly been disappearing. But now she has some new projects. Who knows - maybe it will work out. She has such amazing acting skills. In my opinion, she was a perfect heroine in the 90s (beautiful, with good presence and can act above all) with great performances, but then she went through B-grade and law budget films. Yet I respect her because she sees herself as a performer not a star and that's her personal choice. As she said once after being questioned: "I won't do decorative roles even if they are a part of hit films." That's her moto and I admire art films so she is still a good actress. Do you watch some Bollywood films at times? --Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:07, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Yep of course. As I said Manisha's films. I like Kamal Hassan and I think he is great cause he can combine different langs films. Of and Rajnikath, good flicks. I've seen Sivaji: The Boss which is great too. --Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:17, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep up the good work thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 19:39, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

One thing though is is possible to keep them in alphabetical order rather than by release. It makes finding the films easier. It may be easier to draw it up by release from that site but then put in alphabetical order after which I'll give you some help with ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 20:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh really great article. I've sent Asha for WP:PR and nobody bothers to review and give some good suggestions. That's a shame. I won't concede. I'll try to make my best to raise them to a FA class article. What is considered to be higher? GA or A-class? --Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:40, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I have discussed with Giro who does a lot of organizational work for WP Films and he like me thinks its time we standardized the cinema groups and took the Indian cinema group as part under our wing and part WP:India. At present it seems like many of the participants are inactive and unfortunately general Indian cinema project organization is suffering as a result despite the great work of its active members on certain articles. Now a move to Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Indian cinema task force would guarantee an increase in organization and would be closely monitored by Giro and msyelf and others who could then bat ome date in collaboration assess all Indian cinema articles and try to ensure even covergage of all. . It would create a stable framework and not alienate the group but would be working with overall film project goals of which Indian cinema is undeniably a part of. It would also be a part of the WP:India group natually. Now I need some support in this -I promise a move will strongly enhance the cinema group organization and it would still function the same. Please let me know if you agree asap thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 17:28, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A present

The South Indian Cinema Award -for your dedication to Tamil cinema. We need more contributors to the industry like yourself. Keep up the good work ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 16:04, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

It will be done in a day or two. I did move it but we need to clear up the banner issue first. After all it would silly to tag Indian cinema articles with both India and films mentioning the joint group in both. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 18:17, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

It wouldn't hurt to ask certainly. I'm sure there are many websites willing to lease images in return for links to their website from wikipedia which is one of the worlds biggest websites. However it took me a lot of effort to follow through on that. You could certainly contact the site and ask permission. Which site has is the "tamil cinema blog" website ? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 20:27, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I;ve checked both sites the latter seems the best. However unlike Bollywood blog it appears that many of their images are not owned by the site and belong to various different people and often have different watermarks. This would make finding a similar license very difficult ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 20:32, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

If you can find a Tamil cinema website which exclusively owns the copywright to all its images I would give it a go ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 20:37, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Well technically under the license we can use every image but we do try to avoid the watermarks as it is not a good look for an encyclopedia. The site does have a selection of images without them on which we have found and have to be selective. However occasionally where a clear image is not possible e/g I just uploaded one for Alka Yagnik -where hopefully we can crop it in half to rmeove the watermark. And yes I fully agree with the focus does seem to be on Bollywood and Indian cineam should try to get more even coverage throughout including tamil, telugu, bengali, malayalam, marathi, urdu etc. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 20:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

All I can suggest is that you try to see if they have any images of Tamil stars on Bollywood blog - it has a massive range of images - I even uploaded images of Brad and Ang and the great grandson of Gandhi. Sameera Reddy is a telugu actress but it had images of her ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 09:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

A reply to what? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 21:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Ahh sorry I missed that. Often I just read the top columning and not the actual page so if I recived several messages I wouldn't have seen it. Here is the original email I sent pretty simple:

"Hi Aryan. I admire your editing here. I work extensively on english wikipedia. We struggle to find images to use for Indian actors and actresses. I wonder if you could clarify the status of the image of Preity Zinta located at http://www.bollywoodblog.com/category/All-News/Preity-Zinta-mocks-director-Shirish-Kunder-on-the-sets-of-Janemaan/ that you created . I would very much appreciate if you would permit the use of her image. Please contact me at my email address and later contact wikipedia if you will be as so kind as to permit its use. All the best and I await your response".

About the merger. I strongly suggest that Indian cinema begins to have article assessments from WP Films which has an excellent assessment and hierarchy structure from which India at present is alienated. It would make so much more sense and kind of be the final piece to the jigsaw. By moving to WP Films all that would change is the actual name slightly -it would still have the same sort of automomy as a seperate wiki Project but would be better organized . It also wouldn't affect WP India's equal claim to it and the page would include both task bars. OK? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 22:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Excellent I'm sure there are many sites people who would be willing to let wikipedia use images. The image taggers seem to think wikipedia is everybody's enemy!! I suggest you contact User:Riana and User:Videmus Omnia. Hope you can work something out Reagrds ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 18:34, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hero do you think you could add something a bit more to these stubs -surely you have an indication of dates etc. Don't you know how to tag talk pages with the film and Indian cinema tags? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 12:33, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi Hero!

Just dropped to say that Bollywood has another GA with Preity Zinta:) Shahid • ^Talk2me 19:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh that's a good question! Actually my work on the Zinta article has not come to an end yet. I'm gonna nominate it for a A status tomorrow and after getting a Peer review I'll try to get a FA status. Then, I'd like to work on the pages of Rekha, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan etc. Above all, I have Asha Bhosle's and Lata Mageshkar's articles which I want to improve. --Shahid • ^Talk2me 20:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Getting hold of images

Hi, thanks for doing that! The first thing you need to do is get a proper written statement of permission from them. This can be via e-mail, or it can be a print copy scanned in and sent via e-mail - that's not really a problem. The ideal licenses are GFDL and certain Creative Commons licenses (see commons:COM:L#Acceptable licenses for more info). The copyright holder should sign a specific statement of permission - I've got a good example template at commons:User:Riana/statement, which outlines all the main points reasonably. Once they have signed this they can forward it to you and you can forward it to OTRS - or they can forward it themselves, it's really upto you and them. The e-mail to send things to is permissions@wikimedia.org - an OTRS respondent should pick up the e-mail reasonably quickly. Basically the main things we want to see are (a) the copyright holder understands what the license entails (they own the copyright but do not have exclusive rights to their images anymore - they allow for derivatives to be made, and for commercial usage to be made possible, but credit should be given to them at all times as the original copyright holders); and (b) the content on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons that the e-mails pertain to (i.e. image links, these are helpful!) Hope that helps - if I've explained anything in a confusing manner (I do a lot of these so I may have left some basic points out) then feel free to ask again. Ciao, ~ Riana ⁂ 19:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I'd probably recommend putting it in a subpage of your userspace, eg User:Universal Hero/Image permissions, so that it's somewhere that won't be moved or touched by anyone else. ~ Riana ⁂ 19:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

OK - those are OK but I would prefer to see a pretty explicit statement. The Bollywood Blog guys, for example, thought it would be OK to allow Wikipedia to use the images under a certain free license but had a different license for everyone else - this isn't the sort of thing we can allow. So, could you please ask them to fill out that template above (just copy paste it and send it to them)? Then, when they reply back to you, you can either report back to me or send it off to OTRS. :) ~ Riana ⁂ 20:08, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

commons:User:Riana/statement - just make sure they replace DOCUMENT with the names of the images (or, as the case may be, 'all images on this site'), name the copyright holder, and specify which license. You can point them towards the licenses we allow. ~ Riana ⁂ 20:12, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Can you upload the photographic permission here so I can have a look at what it says before advising you any further? ~ Riana ⁂ 17:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

OK, fabulous! That's fine. If you could send an e-mail to permissions@wikimedia.org with that image attached (or linked to) along with any e-mail correspondence you had with the Kollywood Today folks, that'd be great. ~ Riana ⁂ 18:18, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Created the template here and replied to the mail at OTRS. Thanks for getting hold of that, good work on your part :) ~ Riana ⁂ 18:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead. Just make sure to substitute that template when you add it, so that it categorises properly. ~ Riana ⁂ 18:41, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey - don't paste the text of the template directly! Just type {{subst:cc-by-3.0-Kollywood}}. Cheers ~ Riana ⁂ 19:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about it! I would however recommend uploading files under a more distinctive name (eg Name_of_Actor.jpg) because very short names risk getting overwritten by other uploads, plus it's just better for someone trying to follow links through. It's not necessary but it's preferred. If you wish to do that, let me know when you have and I can delete the old files for you. ~ Riana ⁂ 19:31, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image permission

Sorry for the delayed reply (been busy with RL issues) - I saw Riana has been helping above. Do you still need assistance with image licensing? Videmus Omnia ^Talk 17:28, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Future films

Hi, I saw that you've done some work in the past few months on upcoming films. I thought you might want to take a look at the film notability guidelines, because I've had to AfD several of them. Articles shouldn't be created for films until they have started filming and have a reliable source that can be used to cite the fact in the article. Just wanted to give you a heads up! :) Happy editing, Girolamo Savonarola 03:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I responded to your comment on my own talk page (as I usually do). I also have noticed that at least one of the articles which I've brought to AfD just now was re-created by you on the same day it was speedily deleted, without addressing the problems cited. Whatever objections you have with the WP:NF guideline, they need to be brought up there instead of disregarding the matter until an AfD occurs, which could construed as violating WP:POINT. In the meantime, I'd like to ask that you respect the guideline and not continue to create entries which will earn AfD on those grounds, as it is a waste of time that you, I, and the reviewing editors could be spending elsewhere. If you are eager to write these articles anyway, I would suggest doing so within your userspace and continuing to work on them there until they meet WP:NF and can be moved to the mainspace. Many thanks, Girolamo Savonarola 06:30, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] images sources

Many of the images you have recently uploaded do not include a direct link to the source image. ie Image:Reema.JPG does not. Can you add one please.

You did add one here Image:TN2678_Shamita-Shetty.jpg. Like this Source:Bollywoodblog.com Please add similar links to the other images. GameKeeper 22:02, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More images

How did it work out after were you able to get a license? Another thing can you check out 16 Vayathinile and see if the image is correct or not. Its just it has been removed many times by vandals without a reason and I'm tired of restoring it, but if it is an incorrect image let me know thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 16:15, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

It seems you got the license great - but please always remember to invlude the link to thr original on the site. It is only fair to them ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 16:17, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

About your future film stubs. If you add some reliable sources this should be OK but I must admit I am also a bit dubious of too many stubs on films in the future particularly if they are not referenced reliably and remember wikipedia isn't a crystal ball. In my experience many stubs on future films never seem to develop much even when they are released. If you can add reliable references to assert notability then there shouldn't be a problem. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 16:54, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello!

She is very beautiful!! What do you mean by "any good sources?" Shahid • ^Talk2me 22:12, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think we can find much about her in Bollywood sites, as she doesn't have a long history. But I'll make a check. Let me look for something. Shahid • ^Talk2me 22:21, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I've been unsuccessful so far. Neither The Times of India nor Rediff nor indiaFM gives info of her. BTW, Blof nominated Zinta for a A-class. Do you think it'll pass? Shahid • ^Talk2me 23:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Congrats!!! Our project is evolving! That's really great! Best regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:41, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Good luck man! I'm now a bit concerned about Zinta, but meanwhile working on the page of The Eternal Diva. Regards, --Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:21, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

WOW the article is reallt GREAT!!!! You've done a brilliant job! Keep it on! Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:48, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

The article is indeed very long, but only a few days ago I got rid of {{fact}} tags. It has some problems. I'll work on it and then we'll get further. Shahid • ^Talk2me 21:56, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thee (2007 film)

Hello Universal Hero! An article which you created is at AfD. I am curious: (1) did you know about the AfD? (2) did anyone notify you? The official advice is to notify creators. There is a debate running on a noticeboard about whether article creators should be notified by bot when an article is nominated; that's what I'm surveying for.

[edit] Copyright problems with Image:UnnaleUnnale27.jpg

[edit] Images. sources.

You mis-taged at least one image source. Can you provide URL's to the image sources of the others ASAP, otherwise it is very hard to confirm your copyright information. GameKeeper 18:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On October 26, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Unnale Unnale, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
