Trying to make sense
You wrote: WP:LEAD requires no citations; they are sourced in the body. Let's look at each CN you removed.
- "Rajinikanth has also appeared in the cinemas of other nations, including that of the United States." Not sourced in the body. www.imdb.com/name/nm0707425/ doesn't support the statement either.
- "After being paid ₹260 million (US$3.1 million) for his role in Sivaji (2007)" Not supported in the article.
- "he became the highest paid actor in Asia after Jackie Chan". Also not supported in the article.
- The six awards are stated in the body not referenced.
Does it make sense to you now? Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:26, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- If you check the article history, these tags were added by a Telugu film POV pusher. Now coming to my explanation, the fact that he was paid 20 crore for Sivaji which made him the second-highest paid star in Asia was backed up by three high-quality sources even before the tag was placed–albiet a mention of Jackie Chan was missing in the body which I think isn't a very big issue. His appearance in Bloodstone was cited using a book source. Further, I did not remove the tags which you placed near the TN state awards. Hope I made sense —Vensatry (Ping) 06:42, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, I didn't say you remove my tags, I said you removed the tags as provided in the diff. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:45, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
This is crazy. Different sites give different years of its release, but all of their reliability is questionable. IMDb says 1982 and so does this YouTube link (the censor certificate is absent in the video), while the "least unreliable" of the lot says "Apr 25, 1986". I cannot find any news articles on the film. Perhaps they provide the right year? Kailash29792 (talk) 09:11, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- The storyline of Nireekshana and Yatra (1985) are very similar. I think the former wasn't as acclaimed as the latter. If it were to be released earlier, shouldn't it be more acclaimed than Yatra? —Vensatry (Ping) 09:17, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Suggestion
Hiya again! I need a suggestion. The Telugu version of Gemini was actually titled with a modified spelling as Gemeni. While you can verify it from here, I also have a source which explicitly states the same. I wanna know how to go about moving this page to 'Gemeni' since 'Gemeni' already redirects to Gemini? -- Sriram speak up 16:59, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Such moves can be performed only by administrators. Request the move on the article talk. Soham 17:59, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Soham But since Gemeni isn't the primary title, shouldn't it have a dab? Which makes me wonder whether I should move it to Gemeni (film), in case of which, I don't have to req an admin. -- Sriram speak up 18:31, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
- Sriram, I'd go for moving the Telugu film article to Gemeni (film) which is safe and won't be controversial as you say. —Vensatry (Ping) 12:59, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- So, I should also be modifying the entry in the dab page, right? But all other entries are spelt 'Gemini'! So? -- Sriram speak up 13:24, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- The dab page shows a village named "Gemeni". Although no article exists now, there are chances that someone might create an article on the same. So Gemeni (film) should be the target. —Vensatry (Ping) 13:28, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- I'm pretty clear that the page should be moved to 'Gemeni (film)'. My confusion is how to modify the entry and where to put it. -- Sriram speak up 13:30, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- I assume that you're asking about where to place the entry in the dab page. It would be placed under the corresponding category, "Film and theatre". —Vensatry (Ping) 13:34, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, Thx. Btw, does it mean 'Gemini (2002 Tamil film)' can be moved to 'Gemini (2002 film)'? -- Sriram speak up 13:36, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

I think a discussion regarding this took place a while ago. Since you gotta change the Telugu film's title, I think there is no need for an additional dab. Further, the additional dab should be removed from the Tamil film title too if you're removing it from the Tamil film. If you're not convinced about the move, go for WP:RM as Soham says. —Vensatry (Ping) 13:48, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- Okay done. On a different note, I convey my belated wishes for your successful FA of Trichy and TFAR. Way to go. -- Sriram speak up 13:58, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- Is it possible to move a page to an existing title? Coz there is already a redirect page for 'Gemini (2002 film)'! Pexplexed!! -- Sriram speak up 14:06, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
- That's impossible. You need an admin to interfere. —Vensatry (Ping) 08:54, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

- Hey! A few months ago, someone tagged my talk page with 'tianu'. Can I remove it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sriram Vikram (talk • contribs)
- I don't get what you mean to say with "tianu". —Vensatry (Ping) 04:05, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

According to many sources, Naam Iruvar (1947) was the first film produced under the banner of AVM Productions. Is it right in including those before in the template? Weren't the produced under the name 'Saraswathi Sound Productions'? -- Sriram speak up 12:51, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- I think you're right. It seems to be the first film produced by A. V. Meiyappan under the banner AVM Productions. Go ahead! —Vensatry (Ping) 13:46, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Sriram Vikram: could you have a look at Sharada Ramanathan and propose a hook for the same? —Vensatry (Ping) 13:48, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- I think you did not understand me. Since the template is titled 'AVM Productions', shouldn't the films in it begin with Naam Iruvar? Btw, finding a hook is a bit diff. Will let you know if something pops up. And, can you leave your comment here? -- Sriram speak up 13:57, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- I very well understood your point. If Naam Iruvar were the first film to be produced under the banner, it should be first listed in the template; films that were produced outside the banner should be removed. But you should prove that Naam Iruvar was AVM's first. The link you added in the article seems to be a blacklisted one. As for Suryavamsam, it's better to make a redirect to the "best of two" from the other. —Vensatry (Ping) 14:10, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oh..Okay, sorry. Then, pls check ref no. 17 in Gemini (2002 Tamil film). -- Sriram speak up 14:15, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Since a merger has already been proposed, I'll wait for a week and then make the redirect. -- Sriram speak up 14:18, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- It only says Naam Iruvar was Meiyappan's first outing as a director. —Vensatry (Ping) 14:22, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Sixth para second line: '..newly formed AVM Productions.' -- Sriram speak up 14:27, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Check ref. 19 too. It explicitly states so. -- Sriram speak up 14:34, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Go ahead! —Vensatry (Ping) 16:34, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry. Do you mean, you want me to remove those before Naam Iruvar from the template? -- Sriram speak up 17:18, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Go ahead! —Vensatry (Ping) 16:34, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

- @Sriram Vikram: could you have a look at Sharada Ramanathan and propose a hook for the same? —Vensatry (Ping) 13:48, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
If Naam Iruvar was the first film others that released before should be removed. —Vensatry (Ping) 17:20, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- But won't that affect the number count? Is there some way to modify the template title to retain all those before? -- Sriram speak up 17:47, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- It's very clear from the sources that Naam Iruvar was the first one. The previous films were produced by Meiyappan and directed/distributed by different directors/distributors. One way is to possibly rename the template as A. V. Meiyappan and include all the films. That being the case, films produced by the studio after his death (1979) shouldn't be listed in the template. —Vensatry (Ping) 05:24, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oh! Damn!! So, what do we do? I have made a test edit. Take a look. Since you created the template, I leave it to you to decide. -- Sriram speak up 13:56, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Was Saraswathi Sound Productions a part of AVM o later merged with after it's formation? —Vensatry (Ping) 16:47, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- The production house was started as Saraswathi Sound Productions then re-christened as AVM Productions. -- Sriram speak up 17:10, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- See this -- Sriram speak up 17:13, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- I'm still not very sure as this is a little tricky. You might want to ask others —Vensatry (Ping) 17:15, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hmmm... yeah. Can discuss and reach a consensus. It may sound a bit cheeky but how abt 'AVM and Sons' for the template name? Just a thought! -- Sriram speak up 17:19, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Is it still referred as "AVM and sons"? I'm sure many of us wouldn't have heard this name that was used 70 years ago. —Vensatry (Ping) 17:30, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- I don't think it was ever referred so. It was just my suggestion. -- Sriram speak up 17:38, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- That's not a good idea as most of the films were produced under "AVM Productions" only. —Vensatry (Ping) 17:47, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Well, I have undid my test edit. If you can ask others are decide by yourself, proceed as required. I'm unable to take a call about what to do. -- Sriram speak up 17:50, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- How about letting it stay as it is and forget this conversation ever happened? -- Sriram speak up 17:51, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Given the fact that "Saraswathi Sound Productions" was renamed AVM Productions, your test edit seems like a valid adjustment. BTW, do check the main page, finally Balu Mahendra is feaured under the ITN section (RD). —Vensatry (Ping) 04:03, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, One of the links above, this, also says it being known as 'Saraswathi Talkies Producing Company'!! Thats why I chose to let it stay so. -- Sriram speak up 04:44, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
Balu Mahendra
Wow! Cool. But, do you think it can be made to appear in 'In the news'? Just curious. -- Sriram speak up 04:46, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- I mean, as a news, not just in RD? -- Sriram speak up 04:48, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- That would be very tough. For ITN, they must be a significant personality worldwide, not just in their country. I think BM is the first film personality from the whole of South India to be featured in this section. —Vensatry (Ping) 05:15, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive
It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:
- This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
- Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
- The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
- An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.
Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.
More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.
I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

Kalidas
I am intending on taking Kalidas (film) to GA status. Interested? Meanwhile, Mullum Malarum's genre has finally been settled as "drama". Kailash29792 (talk) 07:08, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- I'll be chipping in with a few contributions. While Mullum Malarum has passed GA, the man who shot the classic is no more :( —Vensatry (Ping) 07:37, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Had it passed the review today, it would have been a sign of respect for him. At least he and Shoba are together now. Kailash29792 (talk) 07:41, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- It would've been better if Moondram Pirai had become a GA. After Mani Ratnam, he was my goal towards GA. Although I've watched his films right from my childhood, it was during the last one year I became a fan of his. —Vensatry (Ping) 07:49, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

- Great news! it's unfortunate that he became an unknown figure half-way through his career. He along with BM are the only directors who have stayed loyal to IR all these years. Hope he makes a strong comeback through this film. —Vensatry (Ping) 17:32, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

FLC
Hi, could you re-visit Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Pakistan women Twenty20 International cricketers/archive1. I've responded to your concerns. Regards, —Zia Khan 17:57, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Sahara4u:Let's continue the discussion over here. First of all how do you say that I forgot to re-visit. I've never done that with any of the nominations in the past including this one. Do you expect me to comment every day, when you were not active for a period of ten days. I don't mind you being busy in real-life, but you should understand that editors are working here voluntarily. Coming to the spotchecks, I'm not sure if you know the meaning of it. Finally, it was not just me alone who was opposing the list. It's up to the directors to decide upon when to promote the list. It's baseless to blame reviewers in this regard. —Vensatry (Ping) 06:50, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not interested in any discussions as the nomination has been archived. You opposed the list that was your call. Its OK I'm not blaming you. I was just discussing with the FLC delegate that he closed the nomination just after a few hours of a reviewers response. Regards, —Zia Khan 16:17, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Even I'm not interested. But what made me to take part in this discussion was you seemed to say that because of my late response the nomination was archived, which wasn't the actual reason. —Vensatry (Ping) 16:36, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

B, Narsing Rao
B narsing rao is significant contributor, equivalent to aparna sen, I believe you are not into good faith edits Gnyan1 (talk) 13:30, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Is it so? I didn't know that! —Vensatry (Ping) 13:48, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
Bro, I was not being sarcastic, some one initially added B N Reddy, and Yash Chopra I removed it, as they are not significant contributor, but at the same time active duration is not the factor Gnyan1 (talk) 13:52, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- So you mean to say that the ones you added were in the same league as internationally acclaimed film-makers like Ray, Sen, Adoor, etc., —Vensatry (Ping)
I am talking about B Narsing Rao, he may not be significant as Ray and Adoor, but he is significant as much as sen, this is not my point of view, this is based on fact, not bias Gnyan1 (talk) 13:58, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

chiranjeevi
there is a line in second paragraph of the lead section, it says the film made chiranjeevi the highest paid actor. (the film is gahrana mogudu). some editor is removing the films name. and in another statement CNN IBN listed him as one of the popular stars in telugu, but some editor is adding info about popular stars in kannada, malayalam, I am deleting such illogical statements, and some editor is reverting it treating them as un explained removal of content.

I am not removing any edits, I expected the other editor to re-add any references removed by me, But he couldn't get the logic behind it, I would appreciate your interference in sentence construction if possible. If not I will try to look at it after a while Gnyan1 (talk) 17:49, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- It's not the duty of other editors to add back stuff that was removed by you, especially when you know what you're doing. —Vensatry (Ping) 16:45, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
rules
please dont introduce your own new rules for an article, the article Indian film doesn't say only add people who contributed for significant amount of time, notability is important and not duration Gnyan1 (talk) 13:33, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Of course, it's the lead of a massive article which covers 100 years of a country's cinema. We should be more specific about what needs to be included in the lead; not personal favourites. There are tons of film-makers who are more important than Narsing Rao and Nagesh Kukunoor. A belated welcome! —Vensatry (Ping) 13:52, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
I have included B narsing rao, as he was the only person to exploit and do research on telangana movement, razakars, labourers etc, in parallel cinema. Nagesh kukunoor I take it as your point of view to include or not, and B narsing rao is active till date in research works with shyam benegal and documentaries. They are not my relatives. Gnyan1 (talk) 13:56, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Man, Narsing Rao is an important documentary film-maker albeit a few contributions to Telugu parallel cinema. But Aparna Sen is much more acclaimed than Rao is. Winning NETPAC and FIPRESCI Prizes at reputed film festivals is way better than winning some special jury award at a few relatively-unknown film festivals. I'm wondering that we don't have the names of legends like V. Shantaram, Buddhadeb Dasgupta, etc., Also I ain't a Bengali! —Vensatry (Ping) 16:20, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
Bro, I have been discussing with u, where is the question of joke coming into picture, I dont have time to joke with you. I believe you are not one of the manipulators we generally come across in wikipedia, Gnyan1 (talk) 17:36, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
winning NETPAC and FIPRESCI is significant, I am not denying that, but B narsing Rao is significant, for his contribution in telugu parallel cinema, and that has to be acknowledged, Indian cinema is not restricted alone to who won which award under which international / national film festivals through lobbying. It includes popular as well as path breaking film maker. B. Narsing is a path breaking film maker very widely acknowledged for his work in commercially dominated telugu cinema. He he has won original awards from Hungary, amsterdam and moscow. He did not won just some special jury awards alone. Most importantly, there is one director who has won only three international awards, and his name is included in your extremely biased opinion & point of view. If B narsing rao has to be removed from the list, I should be removing the other directors name in the list, who has won only three international awards.Gnyan1 (talk) 17:45, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- Just because he made path-beaking films in Telugu, it doesn't mean that he is more acclaimed than others who have received international repute. Do you meant to say Indian film-makers have won prizes at festivals like Cannes, Berlin, Locarno, etc., through lobbying. If that is your knowledge about films, better don't discuss. And what do you mean by "original awards"? Coming to Shaji N Karun, three of his films have been screened at Cannes, which is a very rare distinction for an Indian film-maker. I'm not ready to argue with you any further after reading your last comment. —Vensatry (Ping) 17:15, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
How many votes of support
At least how many more "supports" are needed for Bhakta Prahladha to be moved? Also, seemingly everyone taking part in the discussion (except the ever-adamant Marchoctober) supports moving the article. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:46, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- Wikipedia runs on consensus, not votes. Also you should stop campaigning, else it might turn against you. —Vensatry (Ping) 10:49, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- If my activities looked like campaigning, then I apologise. Bcos only a consensus of three members could not settle it all, I asked for other editors to share their opinion. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not blaming you. You can very well invite others to participate in the discussion without influencing them to vote in favour of you (even indirectly). You need to wait for some more time as the proposal is highly controversial. —Vensatry (Ping) 10:55, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
- That's right. I am not bribing anyone to vote in favour of me. I just want a strong consensus to be established. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:10, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Padmalakshmisx SPI
Hi. Regarding your request for an SPI investigation of Gnyan1 as a possible sockpuppet of Padmalakshmisx:
- A "checkuser" comparison is (unfortunately) not possible here, because all prior sockpuppetry history for Padmalakshmisx is stale. For privacy reasons, checkuser data is only retained for 90 days; after that time, no one — not even a checkuser — can look up IP addresses used by accounts.
- If you believe Gnyan1's editing behaviour is so similar to that of Padmalakshmisx and her already-established sockpuppets to support an SPI finding (via the so-called "duck test"), we need more specifics — this would normally mean supplying diffs illustrating Gnyan1's suspicious edits, together with diffs showing the same sorts of inappropriate editing by Padmalakshmisx and/or her known socks. Please update your SPI request with relevant diffs right away, or else your request is likely to be closed without any action being taken against Gnyan1.
- Remember, of course, that "POV pushing" and "rude behaviour" do not, by themselves, prove an allegation of sockpuppetry. Lots of people commit these particular wiki-sins without all being the same user. As for "consistent talkpage blanking", some people consider this to be antisocial, but Wikipedia policy does permit people to manage their talk pages in this way. However, if you can show that behaviours like these strongly resemble the past actions of Padmalakshmisx and her old socks, that may very possibly be good enough to pass the "duck test". — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 19:33, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
