Adding a huge Bengali cinema template to the articles for Bollywood actors and actresses of Bengali origin is just plain wrong! Do they act in Bengali cinema? I don't think so. One or two films at most, if any. Can they even be considered Bengali if they were born in Mumbai, as Kajol was? The template is way way too large and I'm not sure that it's necessary ANYWHERE. A link to Cinema of Bengal in the article would do just as well. Zora 20:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, first of all, Rani Mukherjee has acted in some Bengali films, and the reason why I put the link there is because the movie was a notable one and she (as far as I know) is working in some more. The template, as I said, links navigation with on topics relating to Bengali films. And could you please stop capitalising, it seems rude (which I am sure is not your intention). CheerioDudewheresmywallet 20:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Please take the template off. It has no relation to Rani. It's mere regional glorification, so far as I can see. Zora 20:49, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

All right, now I think you're just being petty. There's nothing about regional glorification here. The template says it relates to Bengali Film History, and I have explained why I think her films are notable(ie, that they are a part of resurgence in Bengali cinema). I am not trying to push a POV here.Dudewheresmywallet 20:53, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Dude, the template is your creation, it's too large, and you are plastering it on articles of dubious relevance. I'm probably the only Cinema of India regular online right now (it's the day after Christmas!) but I don't think that the other editors will like this either. While WP gives you the power to edit, it also gives others the power to revert your changes.

On WP, we try to keep things in proportion. If Rani is generally known for her work in Bollywood cinema, that is what gets noted in her article. If she has appeared in a few Bengali films, that deserves at most a few sentences in the article, not a template that takes up a huge amount of screen space. Try finding a critic's comment on Rani's role in contemporary Bengali cinema and insert that, rather than just adding a template. Zora 21:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

That was thoughtful of you. I would have thanked you earlier, but I was out seeing a movie with my daughter. Curse of the Golden Flower is not a jolly Christmas movie; just about everyone dies. I think I prefer Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Zora 04:40, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your edits and contribution to Jaffna University Helidrop. Do You know anymore about this?Rueben lys 18:07, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Just came to say that I like your edits to Rosalind Franklin. I also like the clever way you have created a Photo 51 article so we can have a fair use image of photo 51 on wikipedia. I have wanted to have a picture of this on Franklin's page for some time, but there did not seem to be a way to do it. I even contacted the copyright owner, but they refused permission. Good work. All the best.Alun 21:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Dudewheresmywallet meet User:Nitramrekcap (usually he simply signes as a IP address and Martin and sometimes simply MP, it's for "Martin Packer", (Nitramreckap backwards), took me a little while to twig that I was actually talking to the same person). If you want my opinion, I see nothing wrong with your contributions, indeed I think they have been very good, none of the criticism has been from me. Martin has replied to you on my talk page, this has lead to some confusion. If you have some problems with Martin (and I know I have had problems with him in the past), then you should discuss them on your respective talk pages, or preferably on the Rosalind Franklin talk page. By the way I sign my posts Alun, which is my name, my user name is Wobble, this is just the way it turned out a couple of years ago, sorry if it's confusing. By the way Dude, Martin is a serious fan of Crick, and makes no attempt to be impartial when editing wikipedia, so your guess is spot on. If you have a problem here, then I can suggest that you try a request for comment on the talk page, I'd be more than happy to contribute. At the moment I'm not contributing to the Rosalind Franklin article, I've been editing there for nearly two years and am fed up with the constant bickering there. Alun 17:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

In the introductory paragraph this "Franklin is best known for having created Photo 51 which constituted critical evidence confirming the hypothesis of double helical structure of DNA by Watson and Crick in their 1953 publication[1] leading to the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953." is both debatable and a bit contensious - hence following the role previously played by Alun/Wobble, I am removing it! It is not necessarily true; her memory is NOT best served by mentionning "Photo 51" (sic) in my humble opinion, as referring to it is this rather silly way is not that scientific! By all means add it into the article's main body?

PROPOSED INTRODUCTARY PARAGRAPH CHANGE: BEFORE (1) & AFTER (2)

1. "Franklin is best known for her work on the X-ray Diffraction images of DNA which formed a basis of Watson and Crick's hypothesis of the double helical structure of DNA in their 1953 publication,[1] and when published constituted critical evidence of the hypothesis.[2"

TO READ:

2. "Franklin is best known for her work on the X-ray Diffraction images of DNA which constituted critical evidence (used to formulate) [confirming] the hypothesis of double helical structure of DNA by Watson and Crick, (as presented) in their 1953 publication[1] [leading to the discovery of ] (outlining)the structure of DNA [in 1953]. However the wording and placement of the three 1953 Nature articles gave the false impression that Franklin and Gosling's work just confirmed Watson and Crick's brilliant theoretical structural proposal."

the bengali template looks ridiculous. Please try reformatting it so the notable direcotrs an actors is more concise rather than bloating it unnecaraily thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you" Contribs} 18:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

{{INA stub}}

Hi dude, wonder if you can help. I created a stub for articles to with Azad Hind and Indian National Army, and it has just been nominated deletion on what I thought were more to with MoS grounds rather than substance and importance of the content. I don't know wether you know anything about this at all, but if you do (or if you have any comments), could you please have a look here. Cheers.Rueben lys 12:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:DIRA

Hello dude. Yes, I saw the KCL papers the last time I was down there, I will have to try and get the BL ones. As you said, Alien ingression act was what was used for Komagata Maru, and that is the reason why I hid the sentence till I could clarify this. I am now sure that DIRA is another name for the Defence of India act 1915, after the Defence of the Realm act, Alien ingression is different and was enacted earlier. Hope this helpsRueben lys (talk) 17:00, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Derek M Yellon

Hi @Dudewheresmywallet: I noticed you put a prod noticed on Derek M Yellon. It was removed, but next time before you prod an professor article can you please check on Google Scholar to determine if the guy is notable. [[1]] When you check GS you see that this man has an h-index of 129 which is enormous. Any number above about 20 for a full professor in a science discipline is very decent and notable. Below 20 is normal for a professor in a non science discipline. If it is a full professor in an academic department of a major university is almost certainly notable.
