Parineeti Chopra

Hi, I just knew that you are also a reviewer. I want to take Parineeti Chopra to GA. Would you take a look and tell me how is it and your comments and some suggestions. Then, I would love to nominate in coming days. Thank You.Prashant talk 10:14, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

I was interested in that article and thought of taking it to GAN, but eventually lost interest. It has nicely developed since then and looks okay to me. ATB for GAN! —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 10:18, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Would you please suggest some changes for the benefit of the article. They are more than welcome. Please, give me some comments over it. Some beneficial suggestions or some ideas for its improvement. Thank You.Prashant talk 02:20, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey! Well I have nominated the article for GA. Please, comment on the talk page and participate in the review. Thank you.Prashant talk 19:30, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

You cannot ask someone to review an article. Moreover, this isn't an FAC where a group of editors participate in the review. It will be definitely reviewed by someone in due course of time. —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 03:54, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar

thanks for the barnstar :-) Karnan is probably the first Sivaji Ganesan film article to become a GA i guess. Puthiya Paravai and Parasakthi will also become soon i hope. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:29, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Re: Filmfare

Hey Vensatry! Yeah, it's been a long time. I'm good, thank you, I hope you too are. Yes, actually an IP user found the link, was very surprised to see that it's still working. I too tried to access the "past winners" section, but vainly. Chances are low, but I'm still hoping that Filmfare or the Times Group will set up an official page for the Southern awards and publish a list of the past winners.

article assessment

I do not understand what u r saying. sometimes i assess articles myself because to avoid bothering other editors by giving them work, and bcoz i find the articles well written. Now have i assessed any article incorrectly? Kailash29792 (talk) 08:56, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

You shouldn't re-assess articles which are created/massively expanded by you. You seem to rate this article as B-class. You don't have to worry bothering other editors as there is a dedicated team available for such purposes. —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 17:16, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Baadshah

A person who gets navigated to Baadshah (2013 film) surely knows the difference between Baadshah and Baasha! Most of the users pass through the dab page and they are pretty aware of what they want. I have removed the not to be confused. Had the article been named Baadshah, it would have made sense to place the link...but considering the title is horribly clear...I don't think so.

kamal haasan

Although assessed as a good article, the damage done to the article can't be measured. Since u seem too busy to edit it, can I request for it to be delisted? Kailash29792 (talk) 10:58, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Oh, BTW currently a peer review for the film Parasakthi is going on. If u r interested, pls join. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:34, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

You can very well take it to GAR. But make sure that you have valid reasons for it. I'll try to review Parasakthi when I get time. —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 14:15, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Done it, I placed a request tag. Additionally, for Parasakthi, Sivaji was paid a monthly salary of ₹250. I know that is horribly less, but it would have meant a lot more then. I do not know how to adjust it for inflation. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:46, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Please help

I am working on the article List of Indian Academy Award winners and nominees. I want to promote it to Feature list status. This is the help I need.

1. 1 I am having this confusion. Some Indians; for eg:- Deepa Mehta who is an Indo-Canadian, whose film Water was nominated in the Best Foriegn Film category, from Canada. Should such nominations be included in this this?

My opinion (just mine) - I don't think such nominations should be included.

1. 2 Please look at the article. How is it overall? Do you think it fulfills FA criteria? Any suggestions?

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Surge elec (talk • contribs)

I really doubt whether it satisfies criteria 3(b) after having a look at the size of the list. However, I'm not an expert in this regard. Need fresh eyes to look into this. —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 14:08, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

This website southmonitor.com took me to a lot of trouble. Since I had been notifed as a sock puppet I had gone through a detailed study of the said website for almost 3 hours. What I find out is that the said website is publishing artcles provided by Reuters, Indo-Asian News Service and Press Trust of India which are cerditable news agencies in India and mentioned as news agency in wikipedia. I was using that site because I am getting information from all these reputed news agencies at a single source and the website gives credit to the news provider agency as well. If we cross check we can see the same articles on almost all news portals. Actually I was planning to avoid this website from my future reference list. But the recent allegations aganist me is forcing me to get clarification on the issue.Benedictdilton (talk) 04:16, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Main Page appearance

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article List of international cricket centuries by Steve Waugh know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on June 3, 2013. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/June 3, 2013. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man (talk · contribs), Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) or Giants2008 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. Thanks! Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 01:42, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Thirty-five centuries have been scored by Steve Waugh (pictured) during his career in international cricket. Making his Test debut against India in 1985, Waugh's first century came four years later against England. His career best score of 200—his only double century—came against West Indies in April 1995. Waugh is the only player to make scores exceeding 150 in an innings against all all Test-playing nations. As of 2013, he is eighth in the list of leading century makers in Test cricket. Although Waugh made his One Day International (ODI) debut in 1985, it was not until 1996 that he scored a ODI century. He went onto score two more centuries till the end of his career. Waugh's highest score of 120 was recorded against South Africa during the 1999 Cricket World Cup.

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre

Hello! Now, some of you might be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with, the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497). Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 00:55, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
