WP:INDIA Tagging with TinucherianBot

TinucherianBot can automatically tag articles with {{WP India}} Banner as {{WP India|class=|importance=}} to the talk page of articles without the project banner. It can also add the workgroup paramaters like "|kerala=yes|kerala-importance=" etc ,if needed. The currently supported workgroups are Kerala, Maharashtra, Andhra pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Bengal, Goa, Himachal Pradesh , Karnataka , Punjab,cities, Cinema, Literature, Protected Areas of India, History, Politics states, Geography,Maps,Districts and Tamil.

If you need so, you need to provide me with the Categories to run the Bot. Due to some technical issues, the Bot will not run recursively to sub-categories. The requester should kindly verify that there are NO non-related articles in the category.
You may request for the bot run on my talk page... Thanks -- TinuCherian - 06:02, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Cinemaofindia template

User:Shshshsh is removing this template from many pages related to WP:INCINE. This is being done without any consensus and straightaway contradicts the project page. Now, he has changed those lines in project page also and there is no contradiction now. However, I think it is important to bring this change to the notice of all members and of this task force. Thanks. Frankly speaking, since changes like this can be done without any consensus, I do not wish to be part of this task force anymore. --GDibyendu (talk) 21:33, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

There is a consensus actually. First of all, this template has nothing to do with this particular task force. This template, which is a part of many such templates sorted by country, was originally intended for general and core articles from the beginning, not film and actor ones. Both {{CinemaofIndia}} and {{cinemaoftheUS}} (and many others) were created by User:Blofeld of SPECTRE, and are basically the same templates only that this one is for Indian and the other for American films. The standard obviously has to be equal in both. The rules that had been defined in this discussion apply to the Indian cinema template as well, for the simple fact that these templates are of the same type. Just that the standard was implemented on American related articles, and the Indian were left, and editors started adding it when it actually shouldn't have been done from the outset. It was a mistake. I was actually one of the editors who had been adding these templates extensively. Now I'm doing what had to be done a long time ago. Don't think it was a big pleasure removing them back extensively, knowing that I actually was reverting my own edits in many cases. It was exhauting, but it's the standard, a standard which was overlooked/unnoticed by us, Indian cinema editors. Shahid • 00:00, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

You certainly have every right to raise concerns and to participate in this task force as much as anybody, but it was the way in which you badgered Shahid earlier as if it was a misconduct. The entirety of the templates you see in the articles are a product of the two of us only. If I hadn't have created them and I or Shahid hadn't implemented them or actually done much to work towards this task force as you see it now you would neither be commenting on them or even be commenting here. Even the instructions on the project page were drawn up by us. Now we don't own the templates despite creating them and every editor has a right to express their concerns, but the generic Indian cinema templates are connected in the categories. People click a category at the end of every articles and voila they can access everything and it saves clutter in the mainspace particularly as there are also templates on directors etc. We are keeping the sub national cinema templates in the articles. Connecting to the entirety of Indian cinema is still a click away. There was consensus as Shahid explained with the American template which at the time we should have addressed the Indian one too. There are not too many editors around who could join a "discussion" at present. If you no longer want to be a part of the project because of a bunch of templates thats your're problem, but I hope you get over it and can work it out. It isn't the end of the world and it isn't necessary to create a drama. The task force has a lot to offer if there are editors willing to participate in it. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ 00:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Blofeld. It makes sense to have the same criteria for the Indian cinema and the American cinema template. Per the discussion here it was obvious that there was a consensus to keep the templates, but to only use them within certain criteria. It will be a lot of work to remove the template from articles which fail those criteria. If people agree with the criteria I can help out there. Garion96 (talk) 01:32, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I apologise to User:GDibyendu if I appeared patronising or appeared uncivil to Giro but all I am saying is that there is more history to it than meets the eye. The problem GDibeyendu is that the activity of the project as a group is rather lower than once was at present and in the "golden days" project moves would have been well discussed as a group. I sincerely hope the task force regains it level of collaboration and discussion as a group once again and however much I may appear to belittle GDibebyendu I actually warmly welcome you as much as anybody to the indian cinema project because we need as many editors as possible to regain old ground and take things forward. But there is a quite a history with the project and high level of activity concentrated between only a handful of editors which I don't think you were aware of. Best regards ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ 01:57, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Exactly, Blof and Garion96. It is perfectly clear in the link you provided, Garion96, that there is a consensus, and that the criteria and use terms apply to all of the similar templates. The decision was unanimous, but the American template was probably the only one to be taken care of, as it is always considered the representative template. The American template was sorted as noted in the criteria, but the Indian one was somehow overlooked/unnoticed/forgotten, and many editors, including Blof and myself, started adding it. It was a whole big mistake from the very outset. And the only thing I'v been doing is correcting it. My intention wasn't to offend anybody, if such a case is possible whatsoever. Everybosy is welcome to help me remove the template from articles that fail those criteria... I still can't see the light at the end of the tunnel... ;) Shahid • 12:41, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I think we have reached the light at the end of the tunnel. :) Gotta love awb. There still might be some, but I think the template is now removed from all the articles where it didn't belong per the criteria. Garion96 (talk) 20:47, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh!! That was quick! Thank you very much Garion96! Shahid • 09:58, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Misplaced Pages 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

• The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
• The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
• A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Misplaced Pages 1.0 scheme!

Rename all the -ollywood headings!

Why everybody use terms like Bollywood, Kollywood, Tollywood,.. ? They should be renamed to Hindi Film Industry, Tamil Film Industry, Telugu Film Industry,.. --Thirusivaperur (talk) 02:03, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

A-Class review for Rang De Basanti needs attention

A few more editors are needed to complete the A-Class review for Rang De Basanti; please stop by and help review the article! Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 23:32, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

V. Ravichandran versus Venu Ravichandran

I was recently cleaning up some links about Tamil movies and found myself directed to both of these film producer names (sometimes from different points in the same article). Neither biography is well-sourced or referenced (there aren't even any birth dates or complete names). All I can tell is that: V. Ravichandran is listed as Kannada and Venu Ravichandran is listed as Tamil. The question is: Are these really two different people? If so, I'll add tags on their pages indicating so. Thanks. — CactusWriter | 10:47, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages 0.7 articles have been selected for Indian cinema

Misplaced Pages 0.7 is a collection of English Misplaced Pages articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Misplaced Pages:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Misplaced Pages talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Misplaced Pages:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Category:Tamil-language film stubs

Please could somebody urgently try to get some of these up to bare minimum level. Many of them I've looked at at random fail even our basic notability requirements and neither have any context nor any external links to verify the cast or its existance. The Bald One 22:09, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Nischal (actor)

Could someone please verify the claims made in the article? It survived an AfD , but I've been unable to find any sourcing that backs up what is claimed, and several sources that directly contradict the article's claims, all on the talk page. Thank you. -- Logical Premise 06:56, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Slumdog Millionaire

Hello, I am working on Slumdog Millionaire, an upcoming film that has done well in a few film festivals and is gathering buzz as an awards contender. The film's setting is India with about a quarter of the language being Hindi, so if anyone is interested in helping with this article, any contributions would be greatly appreciated. —Erik (talk • contrib) 20:57, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
