Thanks for wishing me HNY! This New Year is especially significant for DHK-KOL relationship because of the resumption of the train service. I hope this will make the tie between two Bengals much stronger. Arman ^(Talk) 06:43, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Zinta BO

Just wanted to tell you that Box office india is surely a reliable source. Have you seen their new disclaimer and policy? They have been updated recently.

You should not be concerned. Please see this article by Hindustan Times. It says:

The net domestic gross of big-budget films like Krrish (Rs 64.86 crore), RDB (Rs 51.07 crore), Fanaa (Rs 53.13 crore), Lage Raho Munnabhai (Rs 69.94 crore), KANK (Rs 46.40 crore), Don (Rs 49.97 crore) and Dhoom 2 (Rs 68.24 crore) has been far more than that of 2005's big hits like No Entry (Rs 44.84 crore), Bunty Aur Babli (Rs 34.62 crore) or 2004's Veer- Zaara (Rs 41 crore) (Source: Boxofficeindia.com).

Which makes it quite obvious - the site is reliable, and if reputable newspapers use it as a source of information, why shouldn't we? So let's assume we can't add BOI, but we can add Hindustan Times. ;) Apart from that, according to what we see on the net, the info is correct.

Also, you're adding sources to prove one claim and it makes some great length problems, which was your biggest concern back in time. I think there is no need to replace this site. It just creates unnecessary work, and a great headache as well :) (BTW, I must say I'm very impressed with your dedication. Satyajit Ray is on my watchlist, and I was enormously impressed with your willingness to improve it and add refs.)

Most important to note: it was just one editor who caused the troubles back in time. Great editors like Sandy, and all the GA and FA reviewers, none of them has raised any concerns regarding the site. If someone does in future (which I really doubt), we can add the sites you had provided. What do you say?

Zinta IPL

Hey Dwai, I have a little concern.

As you know, Zinta won ownership rights for a cricket team based at Mohali.

As a result, over the past few months, she has frequently been featured in the press. However, I still don't know if this new activity deserves a new sub-section in the Other work section on the article, and quite frankly, I'm afraid to start a new section (because I'm afraid I will ruin it pre-FAC)

What do you think? Does it have to be written and expanded in a new section or not? As of now, it has only a few lines in the In the media section.

Regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:32, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for restoring that... I'm frankly not a big fan of this sentence... She's been featured on thousand of covers of the most popular magazines in India and abroad. The matter here is that she was the first on the first...:) Do you think it's notable? Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

:) Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:57, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think about adding the Filmfare rankings? Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dwai hey again... I think those two "also"s you removed while copyediting are necessary. Of course, we have to beware of using too many "also"s because it ruins the brilliance of the prose, but here these "also"s are needed, because it changes the context, and ruins the flow.

"...and has supported women-related causes in India, such as female infanticide prevention. She has taken part in AIDS awareness drives and campaigns to clean up Mumbai." - I think some additional term is needed in order to make it flow, without it, as you see, it doesn't.

Feel free to revert me if you disagree. Regards, Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, what do you think about Kaash? I created it on Monday, and today posted a DYK question... What do you say? Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiprojects

Regarding the Wikiprojects, I wish to know whether people simply self-proclaim themselves with particular relations with the projects.

I would like to ask another question. Say, an article has been marked as a stub and I edit it by adding some more details. Should I remove the 'stub' stamp? Moreover, say there is a medical article which I feel the need to be assessed - be it in terms of importance or contents. Other than writing on the discussion page of the article, what else should I do? Diptanshu.D (talk) 10:11, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Zinta, Zinta's. she, her, columnist! :)

Hey!

Dwai, I've changed few "she"s and "her"s to Zinta, because it was making the prose quite unclear. For example, "a woman was injured... She reacted angrily" - who reacted? These questions were popping up in my mind quite often, who? to whom? whose? I remember a very old discussion I had regarding this with one editor. I think in that aspect, we cannot write the text technically, mentioning her name only once in a para... It has to be concluded by common sense. Everytime a new topic/subject/matter is started, we have to mention her surname. Also, "Zinta played Ambar, who does that and that and that. She received nomination" - although it sounds silly, it is ambiguous - who received? It's obvious that Zinta, but not for an encyclpedia article. See for example Jolie, her name is mentioned many times everywhere, but still the prose is brilliantly written. You may have done that because of that eitor's comment on the FAC, but I think it now looks much better. The article has only improved. But.... ---->

---> On a more important note, is Zinta considered to be a columnist? I dunno... Having written columns for BBC, is she now considered a columnist?

I bet thats a good film!! He seems like a great director. I'm not too familiar with Bengali cinema other than Sanjavit Ray and him but he seems like an excellent director. Thanks for all your help with Zinta by the way ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 09:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I started the article, perhaps you could add a plot and find a film poster? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 09:20, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great work! Could you find an image? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 10:20, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found one but you'll need to add a caption. I couldn't find the poster though ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 10:25, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about creating a template for the films of Buddhadev Dasgupta? This way all of his films can be added ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 10:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll create one now ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 10:38, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Template:Buddhadev Dasgupta. Well we have three films one of them is a sub stub. Perhaps you could expand it while I stub the other films? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 10:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm about to add a film poster of Mondo -just so there isn't an edit conflict ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 11:42, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm rather surpirsed some of his later films are missing. I've jus tstarted Charachar which looks like it was critically well received. Could you add a plot? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 12:10, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree completely. Well I have always been into art films which Ray and Dasgupta seem to be representative of. In my view art film directors are the best film directors but such directors often are much less successful commercially. But even still whether Bollywood is the most popular or not, I can't believe that films which have won the Indian National Film Awards were still missing. Could you imagine an article on Titanic or something missing? Just another example of systematic bias. Anyway I;ve started all the films, some can be expanded I think. Hope this helps, regards ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 12:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. I won't do them now as I have some work on Burkina Faso deparments to start but I I'll try to get his films stubbed in the next week. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 13:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC) Well I've made the template below ready. There is a few films covered in there but there are still a lot missing I agree[reply]

As expected

What can we do? But one thing I can say, I won't let BOI to be deleted from the page. It is clearly reliable. And if I have the support of editors like Nichalp and Spartaz, and if newspapers like ToI and Hindustan Times use it, I can't see why Wikipedia cannot. We have to do something, because there is no end to that. I turned to another editor as well. Shahid • ^Talk2me 13:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think about renaming "Ownership of Indian Premier League team" as "Ownership of IPL team"? It's just too long... Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:49, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would also like to note that it's better to name it "Ownership of cricket team" because it's much clearer. The IPL doesn't make much sense, because, after all, the matter is the cricket team, not the competition it is run by. On the one hand, it can be ICL, IPL, which doesn't really matter, and on the other, it can be football, basketball etc., which does. IMO, the importance here stands more on the kind of sports team we are talking about, and we have to clarify that in order to make readers understand what it is, and avoid vagueness. What do you think? I can also consult John. Shahid • ^Talk2me 10:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LOL OK... But I don't think nationality and bias are somehow related here in renaming a heading.. What is your opinion BTW of renaming it? Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:17, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

LOL..:) Just wanted to clarify that I'm not doing that out of bias. It's just a common style preference... that's why I guess the IPL is somehow unnecessary. It's just a minor detail which can be introduced in the section itself. The matter is that she owns a cricket team I guess.

And dealing with the other aspect of the matter, if you add cricket, you can easily change it to "Ownership of IPL cricket team" because it gives the clarification of what an IPL actually is, so the acronym is clearer.

? Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WOW yeh I hope so too, but tere's one oppose. It's been almost a year and a half since I got involved with this article, and I'm complete with myself, because as far as I'm concerned, I've done my best. Only the ToC has to be shortened LOL!! ;) Have you read the above message? What do you think about "Ownership of IPL cricket team" - it's now clear what an IPL is.

User:Scartol is willing to help... Shahid • ^Talk2me 15:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"this work has transformed the image of Hindi film heroines." - isn't itt a POV? It is not really supported by the source, that's why I restored the sentence. I'm willing to wait. But that seemed inaccurate, and I was afraid of another critical reaction from Tony. You know him. But anyway, I have absolutely no problem restoring this sentence back to his version. Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:54, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but you can see that he himself asked to fix the other sentences if they're inaccurate. I know I'm a bit impatient, but nevertheless, it's fine by me. Please don't get a bad impression of me. You know how important this article is to me, especially considering the hard work it took to bring it to the current FAC. Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh you're so right. I have that feeling that some sentences look empty without details and adjectives ;). I had that problem in school with literature as well... Shahid • ^Talk2me 17:15, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
