Alternate accounts
I think Bop2k3 is an alternate account of Bkpsnowman. First of all, see their names, their edits also overlap in similar articles - Lucifer, Katha Parayumbol, Narasimham, Kalyani Priyadarshan, Jacobinte Swargarajyam, Bro Daddy, Kabooliwala, Ayyappanum Koshiyum.--2409:4073:40F:B67E:C8F2:53AB:DB53:6D08 (talk) 17:39, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello, IP. You might be correct but Bkpsnowman seems inactive and not under any active block. So an SPI case may not be as strong. Nevertheless, I'll keep an eye on the account. -- Ab207 (talk) 17:58, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
Some new editor named Rahul Sankritiyan Rao continues to repeat his edits in Raashi Khanna's wikipage inspite of my efforts in removing his edits and explaining him the reason for the removal. I request you to check Raashi Khanna's wikipage and the edits made by that new editor. I want to know whether his edits are right or wrong to be included for that wikipedia page so that I shall have a conclusion whether I have to remove those edits if he does again or not.
Hi, Gautham offl. I think your edits are justified and in-line with our policy. Since you have explained the reasons at their talk page, they can respond on the issue. If they continue to make the same edits without communicating, then it can be escalated. Hope it doesn't get that far. Regards -- Ab207 (talk) 18:55, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
SP013, sure. It's a smallish film, so sourcing is generally difficult. It was previously titled "Narudi Brathuku Natana", we may find more sources searching by that name. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:27, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
Sudha Kongara - age discrepancy
I received your message with regards to the source of the article that cites Sudha Kongara's age and that filmistreet is not a valid website that could be used for reference. While I agree that we have to use valid sources, I can assure you that Sudha Kongara was not born in the year that was printed earlier in the Wikipedia page. I now see that the information has been subsequently removed and through sources (of her interview in YouTube) as well as understanding she has been in the industry since 2002, her age was 52. So in researching few websites had published her age so I tried to edit it but my intent was not to provide false info but to correct incorrect data in the Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.62.71.83 (talk) 12:52, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello, IP. Thanks for reaching out. As you might have noticed, Wikipedia has a very strict policy on the inclusion of dates of birth per WP:DOB. They are included only when there are valid reliable sources for both birthdate and year. Regards -- Ab207 (talk) 15:23, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
No problem. Thanks for creating Ottesi Cheputunna, Letha Manasulu, and Tappu Chesi Pappu Koodu. How do you put so detailed plot summaries, have you seen these films? DareshMohan (talk) 08:38, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi, wondering if you are still interested in creating the articles, or if the list is too long, or if other editors should be invited. Thanks. DareshMohan (talk) 23:29, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
Please do not silence LGBTQIA voices. Gangubai Kathiawadi is a movie involves trans peoples representaion in India. Trans exclusion is not constructive, but sadly this movie chooses to do that. I as a trans person believe that I am contributing constructively by voicing out trans people voices. So why is Ab207 silencing us ?
Neysara (talk) 14:35, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
Do the credits always have to be followed? Raavan lists Vikram's name seventh although he plays the antagonist/more screen time. DareshMohan (talk) 06:59, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
Hey senior editor,cuz i don't know your name .I want to create a page on above actresses .Are they notable ? If yes ,pls let me know .Mstae12 (talk) 12:55, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Mstae12. WP:NACTOR needs "significant roles in multiple notable films." So, Abdullah is not notable yet as she appeared in only one film so far. Nagarkar perhaps passes with Hora Hori, Husharu and Zombie Reddy but you need good sources to back it up (like what critics felt about her performance) before publishing the article. -- Ab207 (talk) 13:07, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for notifying me about this. I've not interacted with Tajmashaik before but I accepted their request because Nagarkar is a notable actress. I see that you've open an SPI, so I'll give my comments there. Regards -- Ab207 (talk) 16:39, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
SP013, commencement of filming a necessary but not sufficient condition for the film to have an article. To pass NFF, production needs to have a significant and independent coverage from reliable sources. It's generally meant for major productions like RRR, Laal Singh Chaddha, Beast etc. which get tons of coverage about the status of the film.
So the guidelines are stricter than just mentioning "Prinicipal photography began". Even big Bollywood films like Pathan are being deleted at AfD, and we had to go for a deletion review just to undelete a "draft" of Pathan.
As an advice, its better to avoid creating articles for smallish films unless they are like very close to being released. Hope this helps -- Ab207 (talk) 19:18, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
Probable sock
Manishrajput203001, whom you have been reverting for adding Pradeep Rajput to movie casts, is very likely a sock of User:Manishrajput6395 (indefinitely blocked), who created Pradeep Rajput (nominated for deletion), and may actually be Pradeep Rajput or working with him. I will be starting a sock puppet investigation. David notMD (talk) 16:01, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
HEy nice to meet u and this was for the support which u had given to me for the article of Jonita Gandhi hope u will help to other users too. THANK YOu. --TFETalk..!17:53, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
DaxServer, great! The article can be nominated on 5x expansion criteria. As per my calc, readable prose size before expansion on 19 Feb was ~920 chars, so our target is at least 4600 char. The article at present is ~2150 char, so we need to expand the prose a little more than double.
@DaxServer: now the prose size is ~5600 char, so the criteria is met! we need to clean up the article and find an interesting hook, then we are good to go. -- Ab207 (talk) 14:55, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
If you can find anything else interesting, we can add alternate hooks. Tapeswaram Laddu apparently holds the Guiness record for largest Laddu but oops, they sent that one to Vizag after breaking ties with Khairtabad folks. -- Ab207 (talk) 16:58, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Just about to write to you. Can we add the 2019 pic to the DYK hook? Seems there will be one per day or something? Will be very nice to have this one if approved. One alternate hook could be "... the height of the Ganesh idol constructed at Khairatabad increased by 1 foot every year?" But looking at the article we didn't source that it increased by 1 foot every year. Also the bolded text seems very long in this one, if that is an issue. — DaxServer (t · c) 17:18, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
DaxServer, that's actually an interesting one, and sourceable ([2], [3]). It may trick unsuspecting readers to think that the idol itself grew every year. We just have to frame in it in a right way. Yeah, we can also nominate the picture. The 2021 pic (the one in infobox) has better quality though. -- Ab207 (talk) 17:36, 23 February 2022 (UTC) -- Ab207 (talk) 17:36, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Yes, I thought the same that it would trick readers into thinking it "grew" itself 🙈
If we nominate the 2021 infobox image with the "tallest in 2019" hook, it would also trick them into thinking that the image is from 2019 :/ But yes, it is of better quality. — DaxServer (t · c) 17:41, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Perhaps, its in the WP:LIMITED territory because its an explanation of terms of contract. Since the statement is attributed to Rao, it may not be much of an issue but I'll try to re-word. -- Ab207 (talk) 17:41, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Now that you've sourced the Guinness record, I think you can put it as an alternative. But this won't have the 2019 image in the DYK — DaxServer (t · c) 17:31, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Yupp! Creative Commons. Go for it :) Do you want to include some parts of the buildings and some heads of people to portray the height for comparison? Oh, there is one with a crane as well, let's put that one in the immersion section? — DaxServer (t · c) 18:34, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
I don't know how well the community receives pics with watermarking, but feel free to upload to Commons (Tbh, I don't know if watermarking is allowed in Commons, but since its CC, there should not be an objection.) If you have time right now, you can do the uploads. Or I'll do it, let me know.
At 7:45-7:50 there's an almost immersed view along with the hook of the crane. This might be a better one for the immersion section? — DaxServer (t · c) 18:45, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
DaxServer For the 2019 image, the angle at 0:30 looks better after cropping, so I think I'll go with that one. We can add the 2021 image for the height ALT.
One more question. The Indian Express [4] says the committee decided to install a 27-feet clay idol in 2020. What is that about? Do you know when they decided to change to the 9-feet one?
Yep, DaxServer. Let's switch them then, the increasing height seems a bit more catchy. If you say go, I'll nominate them right away. We can add more ALTs after nominating, if needed. -- Ab207 (talk) 20:05, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
DaxServer, all done. We should definitely take this to GA review next. Given the amount of imporovement in the article's quality, I think it would meet the criteria with little bit of more work on the lead and all. -- Ab207 (talk) 20:31, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Awesome! Thanks for the collab. I'm really happy with what we did :)
One more thing, we need to remove the under construction template and add a short description. Any ideas within the 40 char limit? — DaxServer (t · c) 21:03, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Cinzia007, IP seems to have added months even when there are no releases. I've hid them for now. You can activate them simply by removing the code "<!--" and "-->" when its needed. -- Ab207 (talk) 17:16, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
Where are the character names coming from? They are not in the end credits either. The characters of Anand Babu, Nithya Ravindran, G. Marimuthu, and Jaya Swaminathan for sure do not have character names. Don't feel like editing the main article because the edits will get reverted. DareshMohan (talk) 08:37, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
DareshMohan, haven't watched the film but you can boldly remove any cooked up character names by explaining this in edit summary. Consider leaving a hidden note asking for a timestamp to prove those character names should they re-add. -- Ab207 (talk) 08:52, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
Sockpuppet is back
This user SaNaNtha Hegde obviously a sockpuppet of [[6]]
This user is making disuptive changes, removing content and fact. IP main motive is on puffing up Jyothika to top billing her.
focus on puffing down others by change the real fact of Indian film, actor articles and awards.
I'll look into it but Eswaran Naveen's sock farm has become huge so tracing patterns is not easy. In the mean time, you can remove/revert poor edits yourself by explaining in your edit summary. -- Ab207 (talk) 12:10, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
This user's behaviour itself made other admins to block him for a period of 31 hours.
He is having ego issues and fan edits over various other actors or artist.
He keeps reverting various talk pages multiple times , as an immatured child and made a edit warring over unwanted things. So jealous about someone's edit credits...try to understand considering his immmatured psychic behaviour towards wikipedians..SaNaNtha Hegde (talk) 09:59, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Sockpuppet Anonymous user anonymous user 60.53.132.106 is back with a new ID as 175.145.180.172
Anonymous user blocked anonymous user 60.53.132.106 is back with a new ID as an unsigned anonymous user as 175.145.180.172 it was blocked for more than one week. Keep an eye on him /her please SaNaNtha Hegde (talk) 17:06, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello, SaNaNtha Hegde. I usually track the articles which are in my watchlist and try to revert bad edits which don't comply with the policy. If you believe there is any specific issue with the IP, I'd recommend taking this to WP:ANI where a centralized discussion can take place, or inform any other active admin. Fellow editors like me can only help so much because not all of us are admins, and we lack the tools and expertise to deal with such situations. Hope you understand. -- Ab207 (talk) 11:14, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
Do you know if this would pass WP:GEOROAD notability? All I see for it are the news reports of traffic closure and Ganesh immersion related. Couldn't find "significant coverage" — DaxServer (t · c) 17:42, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Ab207 is it necessary to add the box office content for Valimai film or it can be added afterwards? What do you say about that? And what about if we can add about the Behindwoods review about that film? Could you give an explanation on my talk page 2001:8F8:1825:2E6F:68ED:55EE:9C81:C29A(talk).— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8F8:1825:2E6F:68ED:55EE:9C81:C29A (talk) 05:55, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello, IP. Box office, like any other information can only be added after reliable sources have reported it. Behindwoods review is probably in "may be" territory but I'd avoid it when other quality reviews are available. -- Ab207 (talk) 10:41, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
DaxServer, would loved to. But I see that you've done most of the work already, so its unfair on my part to join now without giving enough value addition. Thank you for promptly improving article btw, there is a dearth of quality editors like you who actively work on Indian articles, particularly the Telugu-related ones. -- Ab207 (talk) 13:05, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your good words 🙏 I think the article needs some updating. It would help if you could verify the article and citations, and rewrite the lead a bit. I think I repeated the lead's second para. It would be helpful if you could uncover some more things about what he did for farmers. — DaxServer (t · c) 13:19, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
