Expert needed

[edit]

I've wikified the article, but I don't know anything about the subject. It probably shows. Please can someone check it for me? Thanks. P Ingerson (talk) 13:08, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Communist category?

[edit]

There is no mention of any communist party membership in the article. --Soman 14:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed it until sources are found. Madhava 1947 (talk) 06:40, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Posthumous works

[edit]

Would be great to know what genre each title is (short story collection, novel, etc.) then each should be placed in their respective subcategory with "(posthumously published)" with the year.--Aichik (talk) 05:23, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Puffery / the lead

[edit]

Please see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipuffery Note this sentence: “Wikipuffery is the puffing of a subject or the addition of praise-filled adjectives and claims. They may be there to exaggerate the notability of the article subject to avoid deletion of the article. Examples include use of adjectives as "famous", "notable", "award-winning", "acclaimed", or "influential", detailed listings of minor biographical details (including complete lists of anything related to the person or topic), and lead paragraphs that proclaim the superiority of the subject.“ Regards, George Custer's Sabre (talk) 14:17, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no puffery here. That P. Lankesh has won a National award for his film Pallavi is a fact and this significant achievement is being noted in the lede. It is not there "to exaggerate the notability of the article subject to avoid deletion of the article." See this: Leonardo DiCaprio. Dicaprio's Golden Globe and Academy Award mentioned in the lede do not amount to puffery as these are facts. -Mohanbhan (talk) 16:50, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
