Mr. Lambu lead section, and ...various and sundry
[edit]@Picomtn, Checkingfax, Corinne, Sainsf, and Nvvchar:@Corinne:
Hi Everyone, I am pinging you because of your involvement in the very interesting article, Mr. Lambu, which I learned about on Checkingfax's talk page which I happened to be stalking 
. I simply want to suggest a better lead, since the sentence length of the present one is quite long. Also, if we say "one of the best-known and most respected playback singers' it is somewhat redundant and may be construed as slightly promotional on Wikipedia. Kindly accept this suggestion as merely just that—a suggestion made in the best of faith, whether it is actually implemented or not... I would be amiss not to send my encouragement as you strive for GA status. If I can be of further help, you know where to find me . Here is what I suggest; if you like it, you can just copy/paste, from Source Edit view, since I took the pleasure to implement all the references as well, and everything should be in place.
- Mr. Lambu was a notable[1][2][3] Hindi language Bollywood movie made in 1956. The plot revolved around the once popular genre of Rakhi relations of brother and sister.[4] It starred Suraiya, one of the most popular actresses and singers of the Indian subcontinent of her generation. Lata Mangeshkar, one of the most respected playback singers in India,[5] sang a solo composed by the award-winning director of cinematic music, Indian composer O. P. Nayyar; his songs are still played in the 21st century.[6]
Picomtn, I am truly sorry to learn about your eyessight problem and send my best wishes to you. I also appreciated your statement about 'those who nominate articles for deletion leaving others to do the work they could have done' and how they might lend a hand a bit
.
- Hi @Natalie.Desautels: Thank you for your concern regarding this article, and by all means yes(!!!) you have my full permission to replace my lead with the superior one you've written. I can't, of course, do this myself as your new lead is yours, not mine, and needs to be attributed to you. Also, the Lata Mangeshkar reference I made about her being one of the best-known and most respected playback singers in India comes directly from her WP article and are not my words. Thank you, also, for your very kind concerns about my eyesight, which is why I have to log off now because this addicting place is going to blind me one day! Picomtn (talk) 12:45, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
@Checkingfax, Corinne, Sainsf, and Nvvchar:
- Hello Picomtn, Thanks for your prompt and very courteous response. I took the pleasure to implement the new lead and made a few other very minor adjustments. Thanks for the thumbs up
. I got a bit carried away, as I am wont to do, and made some further very minor adjustments in the next four paragraphs, which you can see in View history, of course. Feel entirely free to just undo anything that you feel warrants it. The minor adjustments consist of punctuation, correct use of 'after' (vs 'afterwards'), a few better adjectives, adverbial agreements, and so on; ...very little really (but it's always challenging, fun and interesting 
). Take care; looking forward to our paths crossing again. kindest regards, Natalie Desautels …as within, so without 22:28, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

@Nvvchar and others:: I would like to submit that there is a factual error on this page. The sentence " In the film, Lata Mangeshkar, one of the most respected playback singers in India,[5] sings a solo composed by the award-winning director of cinematic music, Indian composer O. P. Nayyar." is incorrect. It is well known in the industry that Lata Mangeshkar never sang for O. P. Nayyar. Please correct this by deleting the sentence. Thank you.
