MM

Except for the "800 pound gorilla" query, I have tried to resolve the queries made by Fowler so far. I feel that you can better summarise the lead as you have been working on the article for quite a while.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 04:46, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Ssven2, while writing the lead section of a film article, this is the rule I follow: In the first para, introduce the film, its director, producer and writer, the lead actors, the source material (omit if the film is original), conclude the para with the film's premise written in a line or two. Second para is about key production details. Third is about release, reception and legacy (sometimes legacy is the fourth para). Now para 2 needs to include only noteworthy aspects of production (I now feel Chettiar objecting to Rajini's casting can be removed). What all do you suggest? I feel we should include events such as Mahendran reading only part of the novel and developing the screenplay as he pleased (sans all Tamil film conventions he hated), Chettiar being negligent throughout the production (was he though?) and Balu and Kamal helping Mahendran. This source is used twice, do you see anything more worth adding? --Kailash29792 (talk) 11:16, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

I am looking through the source at the moment. I'll get back to you by this evening for sure.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:12, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Nothing extra from the Frontline source there. Most of the info has already been used in the article with other sources used for citation. You can proceed with your planned changes to improve the article if you haven't already done so and you can get back to me again. I can respond at tomorrow evening though as I'll be busy the whole day.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 14:22, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Did you click the "fullpage" option and come to this conclusion? If so, never mind. Besides, I hope my lead-rewriting proposition seems good enough to please Fowler's "800 pound gorilla" query. --Kailash29792 (talk) 14:32, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

I've responded to your queries on my talk page, Kailash29792. Have a look.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 14:05, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm reading through Mahendran's book on making the info on Chettiar as neutral as can be. I'll resolve that one comment on Tuesday for sure as I am a bit busy nowadays. Really sorry if I am not as responsive as I have been before, bro.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 16:25, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Ssven2, and sorry if I was putting burden on you. That was never my intention. Slow and steady wins the race, but I feared the nomination may close anytime abruptly as a month seems to have passed by. --Kailash29792 (talk) 16:29, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

I went through the book. Doesn't quite really mention any positive aspects from Chettiar's POV that much unfortunately. Maybe we can tone down the negative aspects or copyedit them. What do you think? Your call.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 16:29, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

For easy navigation, I put the MM chapter into a sub-folder, Chapter 14. I hope you read all of it. I guess the only way to sound neutral about Chettiar is narrating the incidents from Mahendran's perspective, saying something like, "According to Mahendran, Chettiar was a kanjoos and child-like". This good? But then you don't want to repeat words excessively. On an unrelated note, if Chettiar were still alive, he would definitively have given his own account of the behind-the-scenes like this one, right? Kailash29792 (talk) 16:38, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Kanjoos and child-like sounds worse than it already is tbh, lol. I did read those parts and not really much positive aspects there though. I'll try again tomorrow if I can coz I've gotta start studying for my PhD written exam.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 17:19, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

When is your exam? All the best for it. Yet I wonder how you have time to watch TV. BTW, the kanjoos sentence was just an example. But Mahendran did say he was child-like in page 110. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:43, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Not just that. Mahendran also explained that they were personally good friends and remained so till Chettiar passed away and that they only had different POVs professionally as far as MM was concerned. Maybe you can elaborate like that.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 07:02, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

"Shelved film"

• Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2019_July_22#Iruvar_Ullam_(2017_film)

From past experience at RfD, I think the "shelved film" disambiguator will be acceptable unless and until somebody revives the plan to produce this film at some point in the future. Deryck C. 17:11, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Padmalakshisx restoration

Hi Kailash, this isn't an official admonishment or anything, but since you've chosen to blanket-restore all of Padmalakshmisx's changes, I think most admins would consider you responsible for whatever problems might be in them, and that includes any copyright violations, poor references, etc. You might want to pore through those edits and double-check for quality. From my perspective, this user has little comprehension for basics, including capitalisation, sourcing, plagiarism, etc. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:05, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Although Padmalakshisx is an unstable editor, he sometimes makes good changes. Since my last edit was via mobile, I didn't have enough time to check completely, and I apologise (though now I checked and it all seems good except for phrasing). Now that I have desktop access, I'll check all his edits properly and see if they are worth restoring. --Kailash29792 (talk) 03:29, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
