Hi. Happy New Year 2013. This is with respect to the copy-editing that you had done for the article 59th National Film Awards. The former FLC candidate was a failure last time because of the prose. In order to correct the issue, we had raised a request to GoCE and you worked on the article wonderfully to fix all the major issue. Since then, we have again nominated article as FLC. However, per the review comments for the current FLC, article still has issues which need to be fixed. I thought I will give you a heads-up, in case we want to reach you for future help. Here is the current nomination. - Vivvt • ( Talk) 02:43, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Happy new year! |
May 2013 bring lots of happiness and perhaps a change for the better here on Wikipedia. You're a fine copy editor and among the finest. Maybe one day you'll be interested in guild coordination? I know you'd make a good one. But anyway, here's to the new year — WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 03:37, 1 January 2013 (UTC) |
Thankyou once again for your incredible copyedit of the Time article. Wikipedia thanks you, and so do I. A question, if I may: having gone through all the information that was in the article, and sifted through it to keep only the most relevant and important information, I'm sure you can see many coverage holes with the remaining info. Could you possibly tell me what sorts of things I need to add to the article to, as a future goal, send it to FA? P.S. Happy New Year!! :D-- Coin945 ( talk) 06:55, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

I wish you a Happy New Year for 2013 :-) AARON• TALK 09:36, 1 January 2013 (UTC) |
Hello, Happy New Year.....well I'm glad you are doing fast all the edits. I want you to grab the Priyanka Chopra article for copy/edit as its near the new copy/edit position. You are a great editor and will love your c/e on the article. Grab it when it reaches near. Thanks— PKS:1142 · (TALK) 05:09, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
No worries; I'll c/e it if and when it reaches the top of the GOCE queue as it's only fair to work on the oldest requests first. Waiting time is currently about one month - but there's a drive in January so it's possible that someone will grab it first. Cheers and Happy New Year, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 19:04, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for taking this on. There are a couple editors (including the one who wrote to you above), who are working on one final section to add. I don't know if it's appropriate or not, but I was hoping they would get it in before you started. Looks like it did not happen. Perhaps when you are done, you can take a look here and here if they do not get it in quickly. Do you think this kind of section is needed, and would it hold up under FA scrutiny? Thanks again. BollyJeff | talk 19:52, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
I don't understand some of your editing here. Is it your goal to make the article as short as possible? FA criteria 1a is "its prose is engaging, even brilliant, and of a professional standard" You seem to be cutting out so much text and leaving short almost bullet-style sentences behind: "She did this. She did that." in short paragraphs. Is this really making it better? BollyJeff | talk 03:27, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Hey there, please do some last revision edits on priyanka Chopra article as some new infos are included. A quick revision copy/edit would be great. Thank you.— PKS (TALK) 10:29, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, it's been a while since I've required your services lol. Would you be able to copy-edit the lead of List of songs recorded by Cheryl Cole please? The main concern at it's current FLC is that the prose is not good enough and does not flow. AARON• TALK 14:08, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Oh well, it was worth a try! :-D I'm off to bed in a bit; good luck with the list. ;-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 ( talk) 02:31, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your efforts. It is very much needed in this article. I would love your thoughts on the other controversies area of the article. Always has been a little goofy to me the way it is set up. Casprings ( talk) 21:45, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you so much for the help. I think it is a massive improvement to the article. Two questions. Per your suggestion, I added an info box. I wasn't really sure what fit. However, I added the info box from United States elections, 2012. My thoughts were the article is a supporting article to that one, and it is useful to know the results of the election in the article. Do you have any thoughts? The other question is, is there an easy way to put all the citations in the suggested format? Again, thank you for your efforts. Casprings ( talk) 07:27, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Just wanted to say thank you for your copy-edits. They look great!!-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:07, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for taking on that massive article. One minor point: Aperture Science is the name of the fictional company, and so should be capitalised. I'm very well acquainted with the game if you have questions about details and Masem isn't around. Cheers. — Torchiest talk edits 21:08, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry. I was trying to undo some damage that I thought this guy had done by canvassing for a review against my wishes. Now it seems the fix was the wrong thing to do. I suppose I should have added my comments after his, instead, or just left it alone. I was afraid that reviewers are ignoring my FAC because of this begging. What should I do now? BollyJeff | talk 23:14, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
I have an idea: maybe you can blend in the "Season synopsis" and "Cast" into one section. Then rename it "Cast and synopsis". Thoughts? -- George Ho ( talk) 04:51, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
"Harry wins with four 3s and leaves the bar area and George scolds Coach for making him lose. Coach then leaves."
This is wrong; it should be: "Harry wins with four 3s and leaves the bar area. George scolds Coach for making him lose, and then George leaves." By the way, after you're done with episode summaries, maybe you can double-check for possible errors and typos. -- George Ho ( talk) 03:46, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pan Am (TV series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page TV One ( 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.

Hey there! Thanks for starting to copyedit SheiKra! From what it looks like, you haven't made it past the history section. With that, I've been added additional info to the article today and just modified one sentence to the history section that I think you should look over again just for the sake of it, "Superior Rigging & Erection was responsible for the erecting of all the supports and track of SheiKra and by January 28, 2005, the roller coaster's highest track piece was placed along with an evergreen tree."-- Dom497 ( talk) 23:56, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey there! Just over a month ago I nominated SheiKra for FA status. The review is coming to a stall and since no one opposed or supported it yet, maybe you could be the first to get the review going again by supporting the article (since you did give the article a copyedit and read the entire article) at the review page.

Hi again, Baffle. Judging by the banner at the top of this page it may be a bad time to ask this :-), but I wonder if you'd be interested in being a GOCE coordinator. You've been a great help with behind-the-scenes stuff, and the person doing the work should get the credit. If you're interested, I'd be happy to nominate you; I've been attending new admin school and while I'm leaving the GOCE feet-first only, I'd be leaving this position in good hands.

These two things went wrong during copy edit.
Explanation: Is not that she herself told him of her dream of becoming singers. As Rahul cames to know about her aspiration when he notices Arohi looking at Lata Mangeshkar's photo in the bar. Then, he assumes himself that she wants to become a singer.
Explanation: He was promised her to transform into singing sensation as he was blown away by her voice. Not because of her misery that he promised to do so. He also fell for her like "love at first sight". So, he asked her not to perform again in the bar. Its not that he wanted to transform her as singer because she performs in bar. Please, correct it.

Hi! Thanks for taking up the copyediting assignment. I took a look at your edits and I have no objections to any of those, but I'd like to check with you if order of paragraphs the "Prelude" section is intentional or not. Right now, the first paragraph presents information applying to November 1994 through May 1995, while the second paragraphs switches back to March - November 1994, and the 3rd para discusses November 1994 events. The final paragraph of the section then jumps to 17-22 July 1995. On the other hand, I see a virtue in having the Siege of Bihać introduced early on as a defining factor of the events leading up to the battle itself, so I thought to check this with you (I'm fine with this arrangement too).-- Tomobe03 ( talk) 11:46, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
The article currently uses the words "interdict" (Operation timeline) and "interdicted" (Aftermath). According to the Cambridge dictionary, "interdict" is a noun meaning an legal order prohibiting someone from doing something, or a Catholic Church order preventing someone from taking part is its activities. I'm fairly sure that neither of these are correct for the article. I was about to replace it with "intercept" and "intercepted" as in the header. Is this correct? Thank you. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 ( talk) 01:20, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
I know about quotes but, I added that theme section the previous day seeing your work on the article. I was in hurry, so I added without paraphrasing it. Well, the last Times of India quote is taken from Nikhat Kazmi review (critical reception). Everything is claimed by sources but I would link when you are done with it.

Hello. I'm not here to directly request a copy-edit from you. But because you copy-edited soap opera articles for me, I was hoping you could give me some advice. I just extensively worked on the article Chloe Mitchell and would like your input; if you could give it a brief look at, do you think it needs an overall copy-edit and I should place a request with the Guild, before I nominate it for GA? Your advice would be greatly appreciated :) Ar re 08:56, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your help. So.... who is Adam Kadmon? Nobody knows. It is an anonymous person. His or her identity is unknown. He says to call him Adam Kadmon. He writes about conspiracy and develops theories. He writes to radios and tv. He sends his text to them and they read them. Who reads them? On radio it was several years ago, there was an actor's voice that was reading as it was Adam Kadmon. On TV now there is a different actor and this actor speaks with the actor voice (not the voice of the real writer) and this actor is also shown on tv wearing a mask. You can see this actor for example
here at 1:03. The author of these words however is anonymous. Nobody seems to know the identity of the source of these theories. So it's far from fiction. This is a real character, however the identity of this character is unknown, we just know this person exist.
I completely agree to remove the paragraph TV Episode list. It doesn't look nice and even if true, these are confirmed only on advertisement on TV, so difficult to confirm by references. So even if they are true, they can't be used on Wiki articles. And furthermoer I think that this should be an article about Adam Kadmon, not about the TV Programme. I think it can be just summarized in a similar sentence: on September 2013 Mistero dedicated 5 programmes to Adam Kadmon and his theories, without describing all of them. However with regards to the rest I think it's better to keep them, they are all well sourced. What I would change is the bias, to make it more neutral. What do you think? --

As the deletion tag instructions state, the criterion applies equally to any page that carries a WP:AfC template – as this one does (which is how I found the page in Category:Declined AfC submissions in the first place). I won't revert your removal of the tag, but I feel that I should at least point this out. Super Mario Man 01:48, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
Thanks for the kind words :).
I wasn't planning to expand the factual content of Molecular diagnostics, although perhaps add a picture and fix a few typos that were annoying me. I have a minor ambition to bring it up to GA status.
Agreed, it needs a bit more explanation to bring it up to lay comprehension (as you mentioned elsewhere) and a completely lay author might be best to do that. (My own background is in bioinformatics, so I can find my way around the literature but I'm no expert).
BTW, as a separate question and not relevant to this article, when is it OK for an article *not* to be comprehensible to lay people? I've seen some articles about particular genes or polymorphisms carry a note at the top saying "For a basic introduction to nucleic acid and genetics, see ...", and then take a basic grounding for granted.
Yes, I'd be delighted to join GOCE.
Cheers,

Thanks for your copyedits to the page. They have vastly improved its readability!
Note though that I have changed the sentence:
Since the first millennium BCE, trade across the India-Sri Lanka divide has been limited to small boats and dinghies.
back to its previous form:
Though trade across the India-Sri Lanka divide has been active since at least the first millennium BCE, it has been been limited to small boats and dinghies.
since the former could have been interpreted to imply (or, at least, allow) that before first millennium BCE trade had not been limited to small boats etc. This would have been a implausible interpretation in most contexts, but in light of claims by some religious and political groups that the Adam's Bridge is not a geological feature, but constructed by Rama's army sometime in that era, the sentence was likely to be misread. Of course, feel free to tweak the sentence further to improve its structure and clarity. Cheers. Abecedare ( talk) 00:08, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
Note: Coincidentally, a few hours before you began copy-editing the article, I removed a proposed-merger tag from the page as "stale", since it had been languishing there since Feb 2012. However, looking at the two articles ( Sethusamudram and Sethu Canal) that were proposed to be merged into Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project, such a consolidation would make a lot of sense. Could you take up that task when you resume copy editing? Please let me know if I can be of any help. I plan to otherwise stay off those pages till your work is completed in order to prevent edit-conflicts or cross-purpose editing. Abecedare ( talk) 01:18, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi - I Noticed that you put a 'confused' tag in the Homeostasis article, but didn't tag any sections or list any points for attention on the Talk page. I think it's an important topic and I'm up for improving it as necessary. Could you please give some pointers as to what you think is most in need of clarification? Thanks DaveApter ( talk) 13:04, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
"Another homeostatic regulation occurs in the gut. Homeostasis of the gut is not fully understood but it is believed that Toll-like receptor (TLR) expression profiles contribute to it. Intestinal epithelial cells exhibit important factors that contribute to homeostasis: 1) They have different cellular distribution of TLR's compared to the normal gut mucosa. An example of this is how TLR5 (activated by flagellin) can redistribute to the basolateral membrane, which is the perfect place where flagellin can be detected.[11] 2) The enterocytes express high levels of TLR inhibitor Toll-interacting protein (TOLLIP). TOLLIP is a human gene that is a part of the innate immune system and is highest in a healthy gut; it correlates to luminal bacterial load.[11] ..."
I know that technical terms are important but non-expert readers shouldn't need a degree in biology to get the general idea of what's being said. Removing some of the waffle (redundant text etc) might help to clear a path through the forest of words; good luck with improving the article. :-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 ( talk) 18:26, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Sriram, thanks for your reply; I'm not familiar with this film so thank you for clarifying things. Much of the character descriptions in 'Cast' are in the plot section and are thus repeated information; I've no objection if you want to revert my edits to that section. Chakravarthy and Ilavarasu's character names might be listed on the IMDB or elsewhere; just having the actors' names infers that there isn't one. I'll do some more work on it later and I'll remove/correct these points then. Thanks again for clarifying. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 ( talk) 08:14, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
I don't know if it is extraneous to repeat them. When I thought of adding description to the supporting actors who aren't mentioned in the plot, I realised adding for them alone will make the section look biased. So ended up adding for everyone. And please don't crosscheck with IMDb. They have messed up by confusing between the Tamil and Telugu versions, trying to have a combined page for both though the film was remade and not dubbed. Thanks. -- Sriram speak up 10:46, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Happy New Year 2013. This is with respect to the copy-editing that you had done for the article 59th National Film Awards. The former FLC candidate was a failure last time because of the prose. In order to correct the issue, we had raised a request to GoCE and you worked on the article wonderfully to fix all the major issue. Since then, we have again nominated article as FLC. However, per the review comments for the current FLC, article still has issues which need to be fixed. I thought I will give you a heads-up, in case we want to reach you for future help. Here is the current nomination. - Vivvt • ( Talk) 02:43, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for taking this on. There are a couple editors (including the one who wrote to you above), who are working on one final section to add. I don't know if it's appropriate or not, but I was hoping they would get it in before you started. Looks like it did not happen. Perhaps when you are done, you can take a look here and here if they do not get it in quickly. Do you think this kind of section is needed, and would it hold up under FA scrutiny? Thanks again. BollyJeff | talk 19:52, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
I don't understand some of your editing here. Is it your goal to make the article as short as possible? FA criteria 1a is "its prose is engaging, even brilliant, and of a professional standard" You seem to be cutting out so much text and leaving short almost bullet-style sentences behind: "She did this.

Thank you so much for the help. I think it is a massive improvement to the article. Two questions. Per your suggestion, I added an info box. I wasn't really sure what fit. However, I added the info box from United States elections, 2012. My thoughts were the article is a supporting article to that one, and it is useful to know the results of the election in the article. Do you have any thoughts? The other question is, is there an easy way to put all the citations in the suggested format? Again, thank you for your efforts. Casprings ( talk) 07:27, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

This is wrong; it should be: "Harry wins with four 3s and leaves the bar area. George scolds Coach for making him lose, and then George leaves."

These two things went wrong during copy edit.
Explanation: Is not that she herself told him of her dream of becoming singers. As Rahul cames to know about her aspiration when he notices Arohi looking at Lata Mangeshkar's photo in the bar. Then, he assumes himself that she wants to become a singer.
Explanation: He was promised her to transform into singing sensation as he was blown away by her voice. Not because of her misery that he promised to do so. He also fell for her like "love at first sight". So, he asked her not to perform again in the bar. Its not that he wanted to transform her as singer because she performs in bar. Please, correct it.

Hi! Thanks for taking up the copyediting assignment. I took a look at your edits and I have no objections to any of those, but I'd like to check with you if order of paragraphs the "Prelude" section is intentional or not. Right now, the first paragraph presents information applying to November 1994 through May 1995, while the second paragraphs switches back to March - November 1994, and the 3rd para discusses November 1994 events. The final paragraph of the section then jumps to 17-22 July 1995. On the other hand, I see a virtue in having the Siege of Bihać introduced early on as a defining factor of the events leading up to the battle itself, so I thought to check this with you (I'm fine with this arrangement too).-- Tomobe03 ( talk) 11:46, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
The article currently uses the words "interdict" (Operation timeline) and "interdicted" (Aftermath). According to the Cambridge dictionary, "interdict" is a noun meaning an legal order prohibiting someone from doing something, or a Catholic Church order preventing someone from taking part is its activities. I'm fairly sure that neither of these are correct for the article. I was about to replace it with "intercept" and "intercepted" as in the header. Is this correct? Thank you.

Can someone please investigate the page histories of List of highest-grossing Indian films worldwide and Ranking of the high-grossing Indian films worldwide (redirect)? There seems to have been some cut/paste moves of the article page from the latter title to the former, and the histories may need to be merged. I don't know how to do this, though I moved successfully the talk page of Ranking... to List of.... I picked this up tonight from CSD, where it was marked for speedy deletion as 'vandalism'. The history showed this is not the case. Thank you. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 ( talk) 22:36, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

I am perfectly content if you wish to show AspieNo1 what can be done in my user space or in yours. I think that is an offer no-one could possibly refuse. If you choose mine please feel wholly free to create User:Timtrent/Damon Matthew Wise (example) or whatever similar title you see fit. I suggest a parenthesised suffix to help the original editor see for sure that it is an example. Fiddle Faddle 21:29, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Feel free to consult these research sources and add any external reputable sources. As I and others did deeper into the public archives and earlier webpages, before 1999 many websites do not have tags or do not meet current standards are are thus difficult to find either archived or searchable. Has or can anyone search for web backups or archives on autinet.org and Federation-Trust.ORG pre 1999? In an 1999 article on Yahoo! autismlist archive on google, a colleague from previous group (likely AUTINET.ORG - which he conceived and was active on since 1995 refers) to him by name as one of his favourite "Aspies" ... there were many references on Bahai Discuss group on BCCA.org groups about the death of his son - I have a large box full of messages from all over the world from to the news posted on an announcement ... and sometimes media leave out his middle name, I have noticed AspieNo1 ( talk) 00:58, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for your help. So.... who is Adam Kadmon? Nobody knows. It is an anonymous person. His or her identity is unknown. He says to call him Adam Kadmon. He writes about conspiracy and develops theories. He writes to radios and tv. He sends his text to them and they read them. Who reads them? On radio it was several years ago, there was an actor's voice that was reading as it was Adam Kadmon. On TV now there is a different actor and this actor speaks with the actor voice (not the voice of the real writer) and this actor is also shown on tv wearing a mask. You can see this actor for example
here at 1:03. The author of these words however is anonymous. Nobody seems to know the identity of the source of these theories. So it's far from fiction. This is a real character, however the identity of this character is unknown, we just know this person exist.
I completely agree to remove the paragraph TV Episode list. It doesn't look nice and even if true, these are confirmed only on advertisement on TV, so difficult to confirm by references. So even if they are true, they can't be used on Wiki articles. And furthermoer I think that this should be an article about Adam Kadmon, not about the TV Programme. I think it can be just summarized in a similar sentence: on September 2013 Mistero dedicated 5 programmes to Adam Kadmon and his theories, without describing all of them. However with regards to the rest I think it's better to keep them, they are all well sourced. What I would change is the bias, to make it more neutral. What do you think? --

As the deletion tag instructions state, the criterion applies equally to any page that carries a WP:AfC template – as this one does (which is how I found the page in Category:Declined AfC submissions in the first place). I won't revert your removal of the tag, but I feel that I should at least point this out. Super Mario Man 01:48, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
Thanks for the kind words :).
I wasn't planning to expand the factual content of Molecular diagnostics, although perhaps add a picture and fix a few typos that were annoying me. I have a minor ambition to bring it up to GA status.
Agreed, it needs a bit more explanation to bring it up to lay comprehension (as you mentioned elsewhere) and a completely lay author might be best to do that. (My own background is in bioinformatics, so I can find my way around the literature but I'm no expert).
BTW, as a separate question and not relevant to this article, when is it OK for an article *not* to be comprehensible to lay people? I've seen some articles about particular genes or polymorphisms carry a note at the top saying "For a basic introduction to nucleic acid and genetics, see ...", and then take a basic grounding for granted.
Yes, I'd be delighted to join GOCE.
Cheers,

Thanks for your copyedits to the page. They have vastly improved its readability!
Note though that I have changed the sentence:
Since the first millennium BCE, trade across the India-Sri Lanka divide has been limited to small boats and dinghies.
back to its previous form:
Though trade across the India-Sri Lanka divide has been active since at least the first millennium BCE, it has been been limited to small boats and dinghies.
since the former could have been interpreted to imply (or, at least, allow) that before first millennium BCE trade had not been limited to small boats etc. This would have been a implausible interpretation in most contexts, but in light of claims by some religious and political groups that the Adam's Bridge is not a geological feature, but constructed by Rama's army sometime in that era, the sentence was likely to be misread. Of course, feel free to tweak the sentence further to improve its structure and clarity. Cheers. Abecedare ( talk) 00:08, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
Note: Coincidentally, a few hours before you began copy-editing the article, I removed a proposed-merger tag from the page as "stale", since it had been languishing there since Feb 2012. However, looking at the two articles ( Sethusamudram and Sethu Canal) that were proposed to be merged into Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project, such a consolidation would make a lot of sense. Could you take up that task when you resume copy editing? Please let me know if I can be of any help. I plan to otherwise stay off those pages till your work is completed in order to prevent edit-conflicts or cross-purpose editing. Abecedare ( talk) 01:18, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Why have you changed the dates to dmy? I started changing them back because i thought I'd missed some—I'll change them to dmy but if an article is in American English it should be mdy, per WP:MOSNUM.

Hi - I Noticed that you put a 'confused' tag in the Homeostasis article, but didn't tag any sections or list any points for attention on the Talk page. I think it's an important topic and I'm up for improving it as necessary. Could you please give some pointers as to what you think is most in need of clarification? Thanks DaveApter ( talk) 13:04, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
"Another homeostatic regulation occurs in the gut. Homeostasis of the gut is not fully understood but it is believed that Toll-like receptor (TLR) expression profiles contribute to it. Intestinal epithelial cells exhibit important factors that contribute to homeostasis: 1) They have different cellular distribution of TLR's compared to the normal gut mucosa. An example of this is how TLR5 (activated by flagellin) can redistribute to the basolateral membrane, which is the perfect place where flagellin can be detected.[11] 2) The enterocytes express high levels of TLR inhibitor Toll-interacting protein (TOLLIP). TOLLIP is a human gene that is a part of the innate immune system and is highest in a healthy gut; it correlates to luminal bacterial load.[11] ..."
I know that technical terms are important but non-expert readers shouldn't need a degree in biology to get the general idea of what's being said. Removing some of the waffle (redundant text etc) might help to clear a path through the forest of words; good luck with improving the article. :-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 ( talk) 18:26, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
Thanks - I think we are broadly in agreement and I'll carry on tidying up the article. DaveApter ( talk) 22:14, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

So I'll change my aim from expansion to trimming. Because the Indian cinema taskforce is so unresponsive, I'll do one thing: I'll add maximum content from the sources into the sections and ask the GOCE to cut down the content.

Hey! Thanks for copyediting the article. I have listed some issues with the same.
Thanks again. -- Sriram speak up 02:04, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi Sriram, thanks for your reply; I'm not familiar with this film so thank you for clarifying things. Much of the character descriptions in 'Cast' are in the plot section and are thus repeated information; I've no objection if you want to revert my edits to that section. Chakravarthy and Ilavarasu's character names might be listed on the IMDB or elsewhere; just having the actors' names infers that there isn't one. I'll do some more work on it later and I'll remove/correct these points then. Thanks again for clarifying. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 ( talk) 08:14, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
I don't know if it is extraneous to repeat them. When I thought of adding description to the supporting actors who aren't mentioned in the plot, I realised adding for them alone will make the section look biased. So ended up adding for everyone. And please don't crosscheck with IMDb. They have messed up by confusing between the Tamil and Telugu versions, trying to have a combined page for both though the film was remade and not dubbed. Thanks. -- Sriram speak up 10:46, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
I need a minor clarification. If I want a second copyedit, should I again make a request at GOCE or can I just ask the original copyeditor directly? Thanks in advance. -- Sriram speak up 16:39, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
Thank you so much for giving your valuable time. Thanks will fall short for your precious time.I am contacting the news channels and magazines to provide me with the interviews that Mr.Lagadapati has given back then ( Referring to the period 2001- 2007 ). Will take a month or two to provide links to citations as uploading programs over the internet were far less back then.With at most respect I have to say you are copy editing exactly the way it has to be . I will provide supporting links for every citation mentioned with time as I will take time to retrieve and also to upload them.Hope you understand.
