Replaceable fair use File:Chiyaan Vikram.png

Thanks for uploading File:Chiyaan Vikram.png. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 18:05, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Nice DVD cover! :) → Vijay ^[talk] 19:32, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

@Vijay Thanks Dude

Kaakha Kaakha Movie

Do you have any good posters for this movie? -- L o g X 21:34, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

@ L o g X Is there a problem with the existing image in that article? Actually, there was another image [2] linked to the article. It was a screenshot from a DVD. The reason I uploaded a DVD cover was bcoz the image [3] had just the movie title and was of landscape orientation. — Sriram Vikram (talk) 14:32, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

No problem with that image! Just asked whether you have any other poster or not! :-) -- L o g X 14:34, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

There are a lot of DVD covers available. But posters not much. Its difficult to find one online. −− Sriram Vikram (talk) 14:40, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Cool! I thought you might have some stuffs rather than finding online! -- L o g X 14:44, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm new to the Wikicommunity. Been here only since May 2013. So, for my edits and contributions, I find the source online. Sriram Vikram (talk) 14:48, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Cool!! :-) -- L o g X 14:56, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Thalaivaa

Are u editing it? Because I found some useful info to expand the box office section from here and here ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 14:49, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

@Kailash29792 (talk)

No. I'm not editing the article. Was just adding album covers to Tamil movies. And corrected a mistake that I found. (Chronology)

-- Sriram Vikram (talk) 14:53, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Re:Vadacurry

It's unneccessary. Whether Srikanth N.B or N.B Srikanth, it's not going to make a difference. If at all, redirect the links to the original page rather than piping them. And adding title and publisher to references is no big deal. I just sometimes forget to do it, but all sources I add are notable only, so no problem with that. Veera Dheera Sooran (talk) 12:23, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

@Veera Dheera Sooran (talk)

I have actually added the relevant info for all the citations, even the ones you have provided. Thats why said so. Anyway, nothing personal. Coz I spend quite some time in wiki fixing these links with more info. Thank You -- Sriram Vikram (talk) 12:29, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Actually we both have been working on creating this article at the same time. Do check when the poster was uploaded. As I was trying to find more citations, I found you have already posted the article. :)

Oh ok, what a coincidence. Thank you for completing the citations. I just thought the piping was unnecessary. Otherwise I have no problems with it, it's good. :-) Veera Dheera Sooran (talk) 12:34, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

@Veera Dheera Sooran (talk) You are welcome. -- Sriram Vikram (talk) 12:36, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Blast from the Past (column)

Thank u for showing appreciation over my work in Karnan, which is a GA. To tell u a fact, I have been vastly developing old Tamil films like Puthiya Paravai, Parasakthi (1952 film) and Chandralekha (1948 film) largely through Blast from the Past by Randor Guy only. However, Karnan was never published by him. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:24, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Are any of these Blast from the Past articles of interest to you in developing on Wiki? Pls tell me if yes:

• Chandralekha - Already in development, anyone welcome to improve it to GA standard
• Thyagabhoomi
• Vaazhkai - Already well developed by other users, but I'd like to make it better
• Sathi Leelavathi (1936 film) - MGR's debut film
• Jayakodi
• Chintamani
• Haridas (1944 film)
• Vanjikottai Valiban - Once I see the film, I'll work on it
• Iru Sahodarargal
• Marmayogi
• Parasakthi - Already a GA, but can become a featured article ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 09:58, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Then I'll create them with basic content, and let others develop them. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:16, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

As the long Blast from the Past table could not stay on Randor Guy article, it now has a separate article. Feel free to edit it. Kailash29792 (talk) 09:57, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Kailash29792 Sure thing pal. -- Sriram Vikram (talk) 13:01, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Then please go ahead. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:05, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Instead of keeping all languages in the same article, separate ones can do. Eg: Randor Guy's articles can be listed in Blast from the Past (Tamil cinema), and the others can be listed under Blast from the Past (Telugu cinema), Blast from the Past (Malayalam cinema) etc. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:46, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Kailash29792! Hey! I got a request for you. When you make edits to the Blast from the past column, please arrange it in alphabetical order. Thanks. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 05:29, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Ya sure. Also, u can create ur own signature in Preferences, where u can keep the text colour as red. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 05:44, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

I upload images in large size because I want them to be reduced to a good size by someone else. In fact, it is me who tags most of the images I upload with the reduce tags. As for the Blast from the Past (column) issues, I have to first break the table into separate categories (according to decade), which is hard as u had arranged everything at random. Neverthless, I'll do the best I can. As for the GA review of Gemini 2002, hope its going well. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 14:29, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Since the image came in 1936, you can add {{PD-India}} to the bottom of the file page. If it is still hard to understand, copy the syntax of this file and change the names. Kailash29792 (talk) 08:09, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Iravum Pagalum 2

If there is a second film named Iravum Pagalum, please provide me with evidence. Till then, I'll change the page to disambiguation. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:21, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

 Done, moved Jaishankar's film back to original title. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:27, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Bcos as of now there is only one film with the title Iravum Pagalum, there is no need for a disambiguation page. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 14:12, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

To be precise, I am unable to tag the page for deletion (whether it is problem with my internet or Wiki's server is not clear). But if u receive any update on Iravum Pagalam 2, pls create an article for it. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 14:19, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Please feel free to do so. But if the disambig. page has to stay, then Iravum Pagalum (2013 film) should be renamed to '... (2014 film)' as I dont think it is releasing any time soon. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 14:41, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Thirupathi Brothers

hello this Sadiqkhan79 . I want to update my company Thirupathi Brothers film media pvt ltd . Movie Poster can you able to help to update. sadiqkhandirector@gmail.com. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sadiqkhan79 (talk • contribs) 03:24, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Sorry! I can't get you. Can you be more clear about what kind of help that you need? I presume that you want me to update some information and you have WP:COI -- Sriram ^{speak up} 05:14, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Are you referring to the file File:Ivan veramathiri.jpg? If so, the problem is this: The licensing section says that you are the copyright holder of the poster and that you grant license to copy, distribute or modify the file. But you have uploaded the file as a non-free file. If you are really the copyright holder, upload the image to commons. [4] If you are not the copyright owner, then upload it in wikipedia with the proper license 'non-free rationale'. Hope that helps. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 05:40, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

A simple memorial to a legendary thespian

The editor of this article in The Hindu is named "Sriram V"; is that you by any chance? BTW, it gives good trivia about Sivaji's Parasakthi 1952, but I am unable to find what to add from it. Maybe u can help. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 04:53, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll take care of those. But I don't know whether to add National Pictures under the "studio" section or "distributed by" section. In fact, I am not able to understand who is the true studio of Parasakthi - National or AVM? After reading this, u can tell me the answer. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 05:17, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Are you able to rewrite this paragraph? If yes, pls paste the rewritten version here, and not on my talkpage. The para is as follows:

October 1 this year marks the 85 birthday of acting legend Sivaji Ganesan. There are at least three memorials to him in the city, of which my personal favourite stands inside AVM Studios. I was able to see it a couple of years ago, thanks to a heritage tour organised by actor Mohan V. Raman. A simple block of elegantly-fashioned black granite, it stands on the spot where Sivaji first faced the camera for his debut film – Parasakthi. The granite slab has a brass medallion on top that bears a close-up of Sivaji uttering his famous opening word – “Success!”. Below it is a rectangular plaque that gives details of the memorial’s inauguration by Kamal Hassan in the presence of Sivaji’s sons Ramkumar and Prabhu, on October 17, 2002, the 50 anniversary of Parasakthi’s release. At the base are two plaques shaped like pages from an open book. These bear the names of all the other people involved in the making of the film – directors, writers, lyricists, music director, singers and technicians. This last was the idea of Mohan Raman, while the monument itself owes its existence to M. Saravanan and M. Balasubramanian, sons of A.V. Meyyappan, founder of AVM Studios. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 07:38, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

@Kailash29792! Sivaji Ganesan's 85th birth anniversary falls on October 1, 2013. There are 3 known memorials for him in Chennai. My personal favourite is the one inside the premises of AVM Studios. I got to see it a couple years ago, courtesy a heritage tour by Mohan V. Raman. The memorial stands at the very spot where Sivaji faced the camera first. An elegantly fashioned slab of black granite, the memorial has on its top a brass medallion that bears a close-up of Sivaji uttering his famous opening word – “Success!”. At its bottom is a rectangular plaque that reads "....(if you are able to read the words, fill this up with it)". The memorial was inaugurated on October 17, 2002 to mark the Golden Jubilee since the release of Parasakthi. At the base of the rectangular plaque are two other plaques resembling the pages of an open book, which bears the names of the technical crew and all those involved in the making of the film. ..... -- Sriram ^{speak up} 12:05, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Because I have to add info from this source to the article Parasakthi, and it should not violate WP:COPYVIO. I hope u can rewrite better and add the info. BTW, sorry if u didnt understand what I earlier meant. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 12:23, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

@Kailash29792! Its in direct speech. Covert it to indirect speech. And just leave out the portions about the narrator. Just add an image of the plague if possible and explain it. When it was inaugurated; to mark what occasion; who inaugurated etc. Then, just explain the features of the memorial. That should do it. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 12:33, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

We don't even have to mention anything about his 85th birthday which is insignificant in this context. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 12:34, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

To commemorate 50 years since the release of Parasakthi, a memorial was installed in AVM Studios. The memorial stands at the very place where Sivaji first faced the camera. An elegantly fashioned slab of black granite, the memorial has on its top a brass medallion that bears a close-up of Sivaji uttering his famous opening word – “Success!”. At its bottom is a rectangular plaque that reads "....(if you are able to read the words, fill this up with it)". At the base of the rectangular plaque are two other plaques resembling the pages of an open book and bears the names of the technical crew and all those involved in the making of the film. The memorial was inaugurated on October 17, 2002 by Kamal Hassan in the presence of Sivaji’s sons Ramkumar and Prabhu. How about this? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 12:42, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

The best. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 15:09, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Suggestions

Would you like to create your userpage, where u can store ur barnstars and achievements safely? Also, since u seem to continue editing Gemini even after its successful GA review, would u like to take it to featured article status? ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 14:26, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

@Kailash29792 As I had said already, when I started editing Gemini, I wasn't planning anything. I just stumbled upon the article and saw it was a stub. So started editing it. Then, when I have made enough improvements, I wanted to update the quality. but i wasn't sure if i can do it myself. So, I tried to request a reassessment. But the wikimedia servers where down back then and my addition to the list never got saved. So, I decided to request a GAN. Even then, you seemed doubtful about it passing the GA review. So, I found more sources and kept updating it even when the GA review was on process. Now that it have cleared GA, I was actually shocked to see there are only 5 Indian films that are featured articles and all of them where Hindi films. So, thought of atleast try to elevate it to FA status if possible.

And regarding the userpage: I don't mind creating it. But when I edit articles where so many people are working on, it becomes easier for me to keep track of my edits as it shows in red. That is the reason why I'm a bit hesitant about creating the userpage. But will think over it. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 14:36, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Kailash29792 May I know why you archive most of the references? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 14:45, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

The reason is simple: to save them from being wiped away without a trace. U may not remember that last year Deccan Chronicle deleted most of their online articles, resulting in millions of dead links, although the Wayback Machine keeps most of them safe. And since life is unpredictable, I do not want any major website to discard useful information. That is why I archive their links before they disappear. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 14:58, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Kailash29792! Oh! thats really bad. Can you tell me how to archive links? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 15:15, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Pls read WP:WAYBACK to know how to use the Wayback Machine. There is another web archiving page known as http://www.webcitation.org. Over there, at here, u just enter the URL u want to archive, followed by ur email ID. Right now, WebCitation cannot be connected due to server crash, but it will be better in some time. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 16:40, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Vikram

To answer ur question abt Vikram's place of birth, this source says "both the national awardees share the same birthplace - Paramakudi in Ramanathapuram district", one of them refers to Vikram. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 04:07, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Kailash29792 Have updated the page. The refs you provided is already there in his article.(ref 4) Thanks. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 17:13, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, are you interested in taking this article to FAC in the near future? BTW, is Sriram Vikram related to Vikram Kennedy in anyway? —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 17:54, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Yeah. I am. But the thing is, I haven't worked on any biographies. So, I'm not sure if I would be able to pull it off. That is also the reason why I din't help you with K. Balachander.

No. Except that I'm his fan, I have no relation to Vikram. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 18:13, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

@Vensatry Being a pro, if you can guide me, I would be able to do justice to it. You can assign me tasks and if I ever mess up, you can cleanup. How about we start by expanding the article first by including dropped projects etc. I also came across a film called Vicky, my attempt to create an article for which failed. Check this -- Sriram ^{speak up} 12:08, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

I can definitely guide you. We shall start working on the article once we're done with our current assignments. We should not give undue weight-age to dropped/shelved films as in most cases they are not notable, rather try to find out sources for his earlier films. —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 05:30, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

VensatrySure dude. I don't want undue weight-age too. But, as an encyclopedia, I think they got to be mentioned there somewhere. We aren't creating a separate article for such films to worry about notability. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 06:07, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

And I want you to keep a track of my activities when we start working on the article. As an ardent fan of the subject, I could be at conflict of interest. I'll make sure not to cross that line but if I do, go ahead and cut me down to size. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 06:07, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Sure mate! —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 06:10, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Vensatry Hope your FA review of Tiruchirappalli is going good. Btw, do you have any idea how this works? Is is based on any time limit? Or the nomination have to get some fixed no. of supports to be elevated to FA? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 06:14, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Even am new to FAC. From my experience on working with FLC, they do have a time limit but there is nothing like the nomination has to get any fixed counts of "support votes". —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 06:26, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks for that. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 06:32, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Here's an interesting piece of stuff for you! —Vensatry _{(Ping me)} 06:47, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

@Vensatry Whew! That itself was almost encyclopaedic!! Thanks dude. Hope a lot of those could be used to elevate Vikram to FA. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 06:28, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Meera

I am currently trying to expand Meera (1945 film). I am having difficulty rewriting and extracting useful information from this site. Can u find anything useful and show me anything useful from the page here, in a rewritten form? Formality of tone does not matter, as the GOCE will take care of that. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 03:35, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Okay. Will do. But, its gonna take some time. Bear with me. :P -- Sriram ^{speak up} 03:50, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Like I said, tone does not matter as the GOCE will take care of that. Just the text should look different from its source to avoid copyvio. BTW, the two IndiaGlitz sources u added to Gemini (replacing Hindu and Rediff) look perfect to me. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 03:56, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Take a break from editing Gemini (I think u already are on a break), and can u help expanding the filming section of Meera with the above mentioned source? If not, can u find some useful trivia for Mullum Malarum from this Tamil article? -- Kailash29792 (talk) 16:15, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

@Kailash29792 Ha ha! No dude. I'm not on a break. I'm working on a new article slyly. Await a surprise. Btw, just did a few tweaks here and there in Gemini.(Actually to reach 400 edits in that article!!) And I have been following your conversations with Vensatry. If you need, I can translate that blog by tomorrow when I believe I'll be done with my current article. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 16:23, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Although Cannes Film Festival is not a GA or FA, u can still use it's output for developing CIFF. -- Kailash29792 (talk) 07:59, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Hum Bhi Insaan Hain (1948 film)

The only place where I can see the title of the film written as "Hum Bhi Insan Hain" is the DVD cover you uploaded. Do you have any reliable sources for this name? Widr (talk) 15:54, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Sorry dude. I don't. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 16:09, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Archive your conversations

Your talkpage is getting stuffed, that can make it difficult for others as well as urself to navigate. I suggest u please start erasing conversations that do not appear necessary any longer. If not, u can archive them all (see WP:ARCHIVE for help). BTW, I think u remember u told me "Thina Thanthi [of Mullum Malarum] review is also avl in ref 34 in the article", but I cannot find "தந்தி" in ref 34, which is this ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 15:00, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I read that. But since it does not mention the name of Mullum Malarum's dubbed version or it's release date, I avoided adding it. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:19, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately, mentioning that a film was dubbed or remade without mentioning the name of the dubbed or remake is not allowed on Wiki. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:35, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Enter the Baashha

Over with Mullum Malarum, now just it needs a GA reviewer. Now I am on to improving Baashha. I got some info from My Days With Baasha, and I have pasted it in my sandbox bcos I am unable to trim down what I have copied from a book. If u can trim it down, pls do so. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:48, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

I suggest you start working with independent sources. In my opinion, the contents of the book is more of an interview and can be added only as quotes to a maximum of 3. We can't use them completely. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 02:10, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Kalidas

Even as Mullum Malarum awaits its GA review, I am working on improving the simpler Kalidas. U interested in developing it? Kailash29792 (talk) 08:30, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm currently preparing for a competitive exam to be held in mid-Feb. So, I'll be taking a break until then with my edits being irregular. So, you carry on. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 02:45, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Well then, all the best. And do pls put a {{wikibreak}} tag on ur talkpage so that others don't bother u either. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:08, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes after Mullum Malarum, I had planned to work on making Kalidas a GA, which I still plan on. U interested in helping? If not, at least finding more sources abt it and giving me? I need at least six sources. Kailash29792 (talk) 08:15, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Kailash29792 Sorry for the delay. I can find you sources relating to Kalidas. But, being an outsider to the article in question, I would not be able to do justice. Since you are one involved in developing the article, you would be the best judge to which sources are worthy and which aren't. The archives of The Hindu are a rich source for such needs. When in need, you can just search here and I'm sure you won't be disappointed by the results it throw up. You may need to use keywords in multiple permutations and combinations for more sources relating to the topic. Here is one for you. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 14:53, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

And a few Tamil sources can be found here and here Narrow down to reliable sources and if you need them translated, feel free to approach me. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 15:34, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

But remember, although eng-wiki doesn't forbid the use of other lang sources, for the purpose of verifiability, I suggest using it as minimal as possible. Only when the info avl through eng sources aren't good enough to elevate the article to GA (at the least). -- Sriram ^{speak up} 15:49, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Btw, do you think you can find a poster of Gemini. If you can, I will be grateful to you! -- Sriram ^{speak up} 15:56, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Thuppakki accolades

If u feel u can update the section, please do so. I don't think I'll be editing for some time. Kailash29792 (talk) 21:49, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Bhaktha Prahladha's release year

Hi, I would like it if you took part in this discussion. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:23, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Sorry man. Seems the discussion has been closed and archived. I was a little busy with my real life. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 02:40, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Never mind, I have reopened the discussion over here. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:13, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

@Kailash29792:Hey dude! S. Muthiah, a well known historian who author the column 'Madras Musings' in The Hindu, claims it to be 1931 in an article published in December 2013!! -- Sriram ^{speak up} 11:30, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Check this out. Seems to suggest 1931. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 22:26, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Sorry! The books seems to have been released coinciding with the 50 years of Indian cinema which was way back in 1981. Since, the finding of Rentala Jayadeva has been published rather recently, I don't think the referring the book is worthy here. Ignore it.-- Sriram ^{speak up} 12:28, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

And I don't think Muthiah was aware of Rentala Jayadeva's powerful and conclusive research. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:13, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Well, Muthiah is a historian too. So, I'm not sure whom I should believe. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 13:18, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Clarification

Hi, can you find out if Madras Film Institute and M.G.R. Government Film and Television Training Institute are one and the same? —Vensatry _(Ping) 10:39, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

@Vensatry:Looks like they are. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 22:49, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

I came across one more film school called Institute of Film Technology, Madras. While Rajinikanth's biography states that the Madras film institute was formed in 1973, some technicians like Ashok Kumar is said to have studied at the Institute of Film Technology, Madras. So there was a film school established prior to 1973 in Madras? You being a Chennaite, could have some idea about them. —Vensatry _(Ping) 04:33, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Any ideas? —Vensatry _(Ping) 05:23, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

When searching in Google, I found this site which says "Madras Film Institute (or Officially "Adyar Film Insititute") is one of the Premier Film Institues of India. It was later renamed to MGR Government Film Institute in the 80s in honor of late MG Ramachandran." Also, the name "Madras Film Institute" redirects (at this moment) to MGR Govt Film and Television Training Insitute, making it more convincing. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:37, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Well Kailash, the redirect was made by none other than Vensatry himself. [Don't blindly believe everything in wikipedia. They are subject to change!!] Yet, it seems to be true. I have asked a friend of mine (working in film industry) for confirmation. He might know though not so sure if he does. Will let you guys know when he replies. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 10:55, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

@Vensatry:Page 4 of this article clearly says Madras Film Institute was established in 1945. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 11:34, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Then it should be the oldest film school in India, right? —Vensatry _(Ping) 04:55, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

The article says South India. Not sure coz if so in whole of India, wouldn't they have mentioned it? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 04:59, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Is there any other govt. run film school in Chennai apart from this one? —Vensatry _(Ping) 06:12, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

As far as I know, No. There are a few private institutes one by Rajiv Menon, one by Balu Mahendra and one named after LV Prasad. Why? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 06:20, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Nope, I'm still wondering whether there are two govt. film schools. —Vensatry _(Ping) 06:39, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Plot summary

This explains that "Plot summaries for feature films should be between 400 and 700 words. The summary should not exceed the range unless the film's structure is unconventional, such as Pulp Fiction's non-linear storyline, or unless the plot is too complicated to summarize in this range." Also, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia seeking to maintain maximum formality, that is why slang terms are usually forbidden, until they are not told from Wikipedia's voice (eg: Gemini, as described by the director Saran, is a "wannabe gangster" is more advisable than Gemini is a wannabe gangster). Kailash29792 (talk) 10:18, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Two suggestions

@Vensatry:@Kailash29792: Btw, just wanna know what you guys feel about the new typeface. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 16:18, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

And, I have archived some of my conversations but have tried something different! Hoped you guys might have noticed that. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 16:20, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

What's that? scratching head in confusion. —Vensatry _(Ping) 07:33, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Lol! Really? That bad huh? -- Sriram ^{speak up} 07:36, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Yup! —Vensatry _(Ping) 07:43, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Well, it works for me. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 07:44, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Better than normal archiving. Improves readability. If I want something, I know where to find it coz they are sorted by topic. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 07:48, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Hmmm, I find "archiving by date" to be a good method. —Vensatry _(Ping) 15:16, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Karma

Sriram and Kailash29792, can anyone of you archive the main page tomorrow (21:30 IST) when this film appears on the main page as I'll be on travel. —Vensatry _(Ping) 12:46, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Sure man. Btw, using webarchive, the pages can be archived whenever necessary as it takes multiple screenshots of the pages through the day. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 14:55, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

And, Happy Journey! -- Sriram ^{speak up} 14:58, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. I have done it myself as there was a delay in the DYK queue. And yes, webarchive is a good one! —Vensatry _(Ping) 02:40, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Fortune favours the brave! Seems like it waited for you!! -- Sriram ^{speak up} 02:43, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Ha ha! Karma and my prev nom (Jaya's picture) are the only DYKs (out of my 70-odd) to get a main page appearance with an image. —Vensatry _(Ping) 02:50, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Well then, Kudos to you! -- Sriram ^{speak up} 02:54, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. In the past, I've made numerous image requests for many "interesting" DYKs; none of those were accepted. However, in a single week I got two DYKs on the main page with an image. I think I should be writing articles like Karma to attract the DYK delegates. —Vensatry _(Ping) 07:27, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Maybe, they want them to be titillating! Just a thought. -- Sriram ^{speak up} 07:55, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
