Kone
editHi, you add this source a couple of days ago, citing The Hindu of that date. The link does not work, I can find no article of that title using the paper's search engine, and it is not on the Wayback archiving system. Did you get the url wrong? Given that it is so recent, the thing will have to be removed unless we can fix this quickly because The Hindu don't usually shift things around anything like so soon after they have published a story. - Sitush (talk) 01:45, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
- The article has been removed according to The Hindu website, the categories are still listed. I leave it to you, how to deal with it. Regards, --Dravidianhero (talk) 01:53, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
- OH, that's a shame. I'll have another look around their website just in case they have moved it to another headline title etc. - Sitush (talk) 01:56, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Fictive Policy??
editWhat is so fictive about the policy that are you talking about here and here? Have you gone through the consensus? Please do so! — Abhishek Talk 16:50, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
- He cited a red link, so I thought, it might be a deleted policy. Thanks for the links. Regards, --Dravidianhero (talk) 16:57, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hmmm. It would have been a typo. So you should have just left him a note seeking explanation. — Abhishek Talk 17:10, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 17
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pi's Lullaby, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Intro (song) (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Mahesh Babu
editHello, i have seen your edits to the Mahesh Babu article. The content you have removed have citations and is not entirely useless. If you think the lead section doesn't need to specify the brand endorsements, then use that cited content and create a new section called "brand endorsements". I believe that many people would be interested in reading about his endorsement deals. Also about the Times of India survey, i don't agree with your reasoning for deleting the content. I think that TOI is very well known in India and about the survey being online, it is the most common way how such surveys are conducted. Again, if you think it's not "leadworthy", then make sure you put it somewhere in the article. I believe that deleting well cited content doesn't really help the article and for that reason i have reverted your edits. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks and have a nice day. krZna (talk) 03:04, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hello Krzna. I saw your change by making a separate section, and I think it's the best solution. The survey is mentioned in the section 2011–present, and my point was not, that TOI has no credibility, but that the survey itself can't taken to be representative for all Indians, as they are still many Indians, who have no internet access.--Dravidianhero (talk) 09:19, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Re:professional critics
editreview Raja is that a professional critic? you must be kidding. critics who write for newspapers and notable sites are professional critics. If not me someone else will remove it, because such amateur reviews wont be accepted. Believe me.. Karthik Selvanayagam (talk) 19:14, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- Amateurish? Have you seen any of his reviews? He brings much more technical expertise than most of The Hindu or any other Online reviewers and the points are given per topic and are fully transparent. We all know the problem with paid news in India as well, he is surely not paid when he gives ratings. Let's have some sort of balance here and don't discriminate on basis of media platform.--Dravidianhero (talk) 19:27, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- I would like add, that he has been invited by Canadian national television too. So he is a well known international reviewer for Tamil films.--Dravidianhero (talk) 19:35, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- Of course I have seen his reviews, but you cannot consider him as professional critic. that would mean that everybody could film his opinion and become a critic. sorry bro, its really not possible. it was removed from other pages too when it was added. it will definitely be removed, I didnt make the rules bro. Karthik Selvanayagam (talk) 19:44, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- Galatta is one the oldest film magazines and he is associated with them on their website, infact has an own section. Why is their website blacklisted?--Dravidianhero (talk) 20:22, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
- I support Galatta in being accepted by wiki as a reliable source. But I m neutral to Review Raja, though I'd prefer if he submit any written and online-published reviews as a step to become reliable. Kailash29792 (talk) 03:49, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- I like review Raja's videos, but it seems its not notable enough. maybe as Kailash said, if he wrote and published his reviews it may be accepted. I don't know why Galatta is blacklisted, I dont see anything wrong in their site. Karthik Selvanayagam (talk) 10:56, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, let us close the discussion about Review Raja, now that the majority of us accept him as unreliable. Talking abt Galatta, i think we can request for it to be de-blacklisted. Kailash29792 (talk) 11:10, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

added 1 word of the critics claim of Anti Islamism / Anti Muslim, as I feel critics are on both sides, 1 stating it is anti political islam & the other being Religious islam. pls correct if u feel, this is not right (Alex.mathews (talk) 08:24, 29 January 2013 (UTC))
- It appears that Galatta.com is still blacklisted. did anyone request for it to be removed from the list of blacklisted sites? Kailash29792 (talk) 08:30, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
- I did. They asked me to put exclusive content such as interviews in future requests. They didn't want to whitelist regular pages at this stage.-- Dravidian Hero 15:31, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
- If you are interested, an article on the magazine Galatta Cinema can be created, for it is the "largest circulating English cinema magazine in India for South Indian movies". seeing that, wikipedia will even accept Galatta.com as reliable, for it is actually "South India’s No.1 movie portal" and it has even launched an iOS app. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:31, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Review Raja
editI think it is time an article on Review Raja be created, for he has appeared in The Hindu paper on a high note. Pls use this source: http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/distance-language-no-barrier-for-review-raja/article4404947.ece ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 15:09, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, I will start it with joy --Dravidianhero (talk) 15:27, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
- I find the article well written, although informal terms like "exotic", "kollywood", "hanging out", and "movie" can be replaced with more formal terms, or at least appear in quotations. The phrase "Review Raja was born" doesn't sound formal either. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:59, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Ways to improve Review Raja
editHi, I'm Anne Delong. Dravidianhero, thanks for creating Review Raja!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. I've added a couple of references. You may need to adjust the page to be more encyclopedic; leaving out stories and feelings and such that fans like to read but shouldn't be in an encyclopedia. —Anne Delong (talk) 20:22, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Re: Lack of pictures
editI still don't fully understand this concept of image policies on Wikipedia. All I can understand is that Non-free images (like film soundtrack images, posters, screenshots) cannot be used anywhere in any article except the infobox, and that images of people (to be out in infobox) are difficult to put because of in-understandable licensing issues.

Well, let us not count IMDB, Facebook, YouTube and other socializing sites, but if an article on Galatta is created, that will even have it removed from its blacklisted status. In fact, if anyone created an article on it, I'd like them to say it exists as a magazine named Galatta Cinema (claimed to be the "largest circulating English cinema magazine in India for South Indian movies") and as Galatta.com (claimed to be "South India’s No.1 movie portal"). Another fact that establishes its notability is that it has even launched an official app for Android and iOS. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 14:23, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
These reliable sources mention both Galatta the magazine and Galatta.com in high light, and that clearly establishes notability of Galatta overall i think. the sources are listed as follows:

(it could also be argued that descriptors applied by editors without sources are POV so i wouldnt be opposed to WP:NPOVN)-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:23, 17 April 2013 (UTC) Orphaned non-free media (File:Neram first look poster.jpg)editThanks for uploading File:Neram first look poster.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I recently observed that the poster you uploaded for the 2013 Bilingual Gouravam is bearing a tamil title. Though all the stars are of tamil origin, it is better to upload a poster bearing an english title, as it would give a universal impact and can be easily approached by both Tamil and Telugu audience. Please reply soon about your feelings regarding my message to you today. Thank you.Pavanjandhyala (talk) 13:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
if you like it, give a link of the Tamil poster and i will develop it. Thank you.Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:06, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

An English poster could have done to give balance to the bilingual film, and there was already one, which was removed.

Robert CaldwelleditThanks for your message. I saw the reverts which you did to almost all of my edits to Robert Caldwell. Please explain the reason for each of your reverts on the talk page. I understand that Subramaniam Swami is not liked among the so called Dravidian political circles in TN but Wikipedia is about facts not opinions. Other references could have been provided if Mr Swami's article was not of your liking but whole sale revers were not warranted. Your revert of Dr. R. Nagaswamy and his book "Mirror of Tamil and Sanskrit". Which had all the citation was clearly unwarranted. I also challenge your labeling of my edits as original research. Kindly provide reasons for each and every revert on the talk page of Robert Caldwell which I have created for my edits titled "Balancing the Article with All views about Robert Caldwell".Indoscope (talk) 18:52, 19 April 2013 (UTC) Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Charulatha Kannada and Tamil posters.jpgeditThank you for uploading File:Charulatha Kannada and Tamil posters.jpg.

Even the posters of Kochadaiyaan show her name as the same. So pls tell me if the page can be moved or not. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:25, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nagarjuna (actor), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Santhi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 21:00, 3 May 2013 (UTC) Dravidian languageseditTo answer ur question, if anything u r going to do is for the best and does not mislead, i think a Yes would do. Kailash29792 (talk) 18:30, 4 May 2013 (UTC) Hello Dravidianhero,
In fact ther is no reliable source proving that "the term "Melayu" is [...] derived from the Tamil etymons Malai and ur, meaning "mountain" and "city, land", respectively". No linguist would support such an assertion. "Melayu" is a local, i. e. Sumatran name, that's it. To have recourse to a Tamil etymology amounts to "chercher midi à quatorze heure" as we say in French, "to look for noon at 2 pm". There is no evidence of Tamil having any influence in Sumatra. All that has been found so far is a Tamil inscription in Barus, on the western coast of Sumatra, dated 1088 AD left by merchants [2], which of course cannot be regarded as a proof of Tamil influence in Sumatra. This is why I call this claim of a Tamil etymology "Tamil nationalism" :-) Humboldt 11:21, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Certainly not. A geographer knows place names, that's it. You need a linguist to know where the name comes from, and an historian to know when the place was named, and why.
You're right. I was a reaction of irritation to a proliferation of Tamil-biased mentions I see in an number of Wikipedia articles regarding the Malay World, and also in various sites, for example this one: "Hindu Wonders in a Muslim Country!", the title of which itself is wrong, because Indonesia is not a "Muslim country" but a country which happens to have a Muslim majority. It has Garuda Indonesia as its flag-carrier because the country's culture borrowed a lot from India and an Indonesian Red Cross, not Red Crescent...Humboldt 16:29, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
There are, for example Tamil place names in Malaysia (which you have reverted) and Chola dynasty and its incredible map claiming sovereignty over the Malacca Peninsula, Borneo, Java and Sumatra, just because in 1025 AD a Chola fleet attacked Sriwijaya, which was not an "empire" as the article claims but a city of 30,000 to 50,000 inhabitants today called Palembang [3].
I have no doubt about that! :-)
Thank you for the tip.
To be honest, I'm tired with two other nationalisms, Indonesian and Malaysian. Correcting the non-sense many Indonesians (my parents are Indonesians) and Malaysians write in Wikipedia is an uphill battle which I have given up fighting. I have even given up doing it in the Indonesian Wikipedia! This is why I limit myself to contributing to the French Wikipedia, where you won't find Indonesian and Malaysian nationalists... :-)
I work within a team of French researchers whose interest is in understanding national cultures through the functioning of organisations. In a way, what we do is an anthropology of modern societies. Thank you for the discussion, --Humboldt 18:12, 5 May 2013 (UTC) |
