Hi!!
I believe 'The Jewel in the Crown' was a TV series and not a film. The filmography section on Saeed Jaffrey's page has only films, if you can let me know, if it was film too, i would be really grateful, if it is not a film, then i feel that a new filmography section dedicated to just the work on television will be more appropriate.
Thanks Neon 06:20, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi
Neon,
The Jewel in the Crown was an important television mini-series which is why I added it. It is not unusual for filmographies to include programs that were shown on television if they were popular at the time of release. If, however, you would prefer to make a new section for television, that is fine as well.
Either way, The Jewel in the Crown should be included as a credit listing on the Saeed Jaffrey page, since it is a substantial credit. Classicfilms 2 May 2006
Hi! Thanks for working on Satyajit Ray. Also thanks for creating the stub for the film Kapurush. I once created many stubs on his films. Over last few months, Shmitra ( talk · contribs) has improved the article quite a lot. We have plans to go for a peer review of the article soon. However, the size of the article is quite large. I guess some daughter articles have to be created and the main article will need summarisation. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 06:55, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Dwaipayan, Thanks for the feedback - I am glad to help out. Perhaps a solution to the length of the Ray article, as you suggest above, would be to break it up. I think that an excellent example is the page on Rabindranath Tagore, with each section serving as an introductory paragraph for a much larger article. -- Classicfilms 16 June 2006
My edits restored the silent film stub... that was a mistake and I didn't mean to. I did mean to restore "( Hindi: देवदास, Urdu: دیوداس)" because that merely is the title of the film in those scripts... it does not say it is the language of the film. In fact it clearly says "Bengali film" in the opening. I think it is valuable to have Hindi and Urdu listed because the film is released to those markets as well as to the Bengali market. Having the Begali script would be the best but we don't have that yet. It doesn't imply that the film is somehow in Hindi or Urdu. Also, you tend to make 5 edits each time you chamge a page. Please consider using the "show preview" button so you can cut down on those changes as it makes it easier to navigate a page's history. gren グレン 08:52, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, the expansion was great! However, pl. be careful abt the existing material - His oscar nomination is highly important and it got removed, probably inadvertently, during your edits.

Hi - my removal of data from the "legacy" section reflects 4 main concerns (a) this article is too long, (b) no need to list so many statues of Gandhi and (c) the films/video games etc. is all too new and overplayed in importance. "Gandhigiri" deserves one sentence - the rest belongs to the article on the film itself. Also (d) the film poster and postage stamps are to be used to describe the stamps/film in question, not Gandhi - this is a "fair use" issue. Rama's arrow 23:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Per a discussion at the Indian cinema project ( WP:INCINE) and communication from the larger Wikipedia film project, we are not using actor templates. Project members are removing templates when they see them, though we haven't gotten round to deleting the templates -- which seems to have been a mistake.
Please don't re-add them. If the actor/actress has an article, that is linked to the article for his/her films; the article has a filmography. That's all that's needed! Otherwise we're going to see the bottom of articles bulk up with multiple templates, if every actor who appears in the film gets one. Zora 14:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I was going through the article. What is lacking (in "Reaction" section or as an independent section) is Criticism, which would contain negative criticism about the film also. If this can be incorporated (and red links turned blue - which should not be a major problem), the article should be ready for being nominated as a GA. What do you think?

Please have a look at other film articles which are FAs at Wikipedia:Featured_articles#Media. 'Lage Raho... needs a section on Production. FAs on recent films like V for Vendetta also have this section, rather elaborately. This section should be incorporated before going for a GA nom.

Hey, well done on your great work on Lage Raho Munna Bhai. The production section is very important though and needs to be made soon before we can take it to GAC. It's looking good though. Also, don't worry about the article if it starts becoming a little too long, please do not delete any content to trim the article, lots of FAs are 50kb and above. Regards. Nobleeagle [TALK] [C] 05:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
I was impressed by your contributions to Lage Raho Munna Bhai. This is one film article which can be cited as model for other film articles and covers all aspects of film comprehensively.Keep up your good work. I was happy to know that you are interested in depictions of Mahatma Gandhi in films.-- Indianstar 13:31, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
I disagree with your FAC contributions, the new synopsis doesn't even mention the fact that Lucky Singh took over the house. The deletion of all the text from the songlist wasn't mandated, the FAC said don't get listy, not that delete all the text. Nobleeagle [TALK] [C] 03:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{ prod}}" template to the article The Making of the Mahatma, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

I notice that in few cases you have replaced NovelsWikiProject tags with {{WP India|literature=yes}}. Please when you add the new tag could you leave to Novels one. Unless of course the article is obviously out of scope and should not have been tagged in the first place. If th India project is working on prose literature as such tagging seems to suggest we should be developing a closer working relationship on these areas of common interest. thanks :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/ (Desk) 10:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I, Bhavesh.Chauhan, award Classicfilms with the Indian Cinema Barnstar for outstanding and countless information added to the Zee Cine Awards 2007 article. Keep up the great work! -- Bhavesh.Chauhan 22:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC) |
Hello again Classicfilms! hope you are having a great time on Wikipedia and learning even more ways to make Wikipedia a great website. I just noticed you edited the {{MunnaBhai}} Template that I made and moved the page to {{The Munna Bhai series}}. I thank you once again for making all the templates organised and in the same format on the MBCA article. Your efforts are appreciated. :D Also, I was wondering why you put (English) next to MBCA onto that new template created today. -- Bhavesh.Chauhan 16:40, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Dwaipayanc - I could use your help with the Lage Raho Munna Bhai page. Thanks - Classicfilms 03:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi! What's your plans? IMO, "Production" still needs improvement.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 08:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I have not read the whole article lately. But have a feeling that it's quite well-placed. Please try to read some film-related Featured articles. One of my personal favourites is Tenebrae (film). Also have a look at others. Since Lage Raho is already a good article, you may or may not consider a peer review. My personal suggestion is a peer review. One request. Could you please reply my messages in my talk page? Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 18:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I am slowly working on the references. A few were not retrievable, so changed those. Deleted one ref from a blog-like site (unreliable source). No response so far in Peer Review (which is not uncommon). In case things go like this, you have to move the article to FAC once we're finished with the refs. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 07:33, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
The FAC has started. Enjoy!-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 20:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I feared this might happen with the images (FAC objection). Have removed two images. Requested for review in the FAC. I've uploaded three posters of the film. And requested Jkelly ( talk · contribs) for a review. Depending on his comments, the images may be used. Let's see. -- Dwaipayan ( talk) 05:33, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
What is the source for different country ratings (PG, U etc). IMDb tells just USA and India ratings.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 06:54, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I added reviews to the review section and removed the Rotten Tomatoes site which is currently only a preview site and does have the entire range of reviews - though I added one of its reviews to the article's review section. - Classicfilms 15:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
I emailed Abhijat Joshi to have a look at the article, and comment (regarding authenticity, comprehensiveness and any other points). He replied that he is going to take a look in this weekend. It would be good. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 07:00, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I am having trouble in internet connection. Just messaging you from a cafe. The lead of the article is in pathetic condition. Please remove all those big quotes. It's ruining. Don't worry about the 54 kb size. I am attending to that. he previous lead was perfect. No need to add quotes in lead. Taxman did not say to increase the lead. I'm on a hurry. Will elaborate soon. But please consider reverting. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 07:20, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, so far the FAC is going well. Some excellent observations, and supports. Hope Mr Joshi would have a look soon. One question: In plot, "...the "Second Innings House" would be the most auspicious place for Sunny and Simran to live". I forgot the details of the movie, so could not remember this detail. Was it for this reason Lucky Singh was trying to get hold of the house? Please don't mind, I asked that just to be double sure! Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 19:13, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
So how are you feeling about FAC? It's going good. So far, no great obstacles. Hope after this you'd be churning out some more great articles for FAC! In fact, why not try Gandhigiri next? A lot of things from Lage Raho... could be used. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 19:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, I will try to persuade you to try to improve Gandhigiri, and, if possible, try for FAC, too. Though I don't have a vast experience in Wikipedia, it's easy to understand you are a labourious writer. Also, your english writing is good (mine is mediocre, I do small mistakes and have to resort to others for copyedit and good flow). I will request you to improve Gandhigiri. Of course, others will be there to help.
Bye the way, do you have any other plans? Movie articles or otherwise? Have you gone through Sholay? I started to improve it about a year back, but soon discontinued. However, it's quite possible. I do have a good source for that article. The book written by Anupama Chopra. Have a look, please. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 15:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi! Are you sure this helium.com ref is better than the previous dna ref (article by Khalid Mohamed). I don't know much about helium, and I am not able to see the referenced article (I don't know why! - may be it's restricted). In any case, dna is a newspaper and Khalid Mohamed is a notable film critic.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 16:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi! Have you read this article Manos: The Hands of Fate (currently in FAC)? Seemed very interesting to me. Try to read. It is one of the the worst films ever made :) -- Dwaipayan ( talk) 19:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations on the ongoing FAC which seems to be on its way to becoming the first Bollywood article to make it onto the main page. Feels great to see something I worked on finally make it to FA and well done on doing what I couldn't. Brilliant job, article is great and is a great model for all influential Bollywood movies. Good luck with the Editor Review as well. Once again, congrats. — Nobleeagle [TALK] [C] 03:46, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Have started to improve Gandhigiri, rather in a random way. Copy-pasting stuffs from Lage Raho.... Later, this would need modifications so that Gandhigiri stands out as a different article. As a starter, though, copy-pasting is not bad :) Will have to decide the structure of the article, as well. Let's accumulate some content first. Style issues may continue simultaneously. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 06:26, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
I've been an anonymous background follower of your succes story with Lage Raho Munna Bhai, as I've been using it to inspire my writing of my magnum opus, Sivaji: The Boss - the next best Indian cinema article after the two FA's. I am going to ask you to do me a HUGE favour by helping out in the article - fixing, cleaning, hoovering etc. Can you respond on my talk page, if you agree? Thank you very much. Regards Universal Hero 18:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Since you did a splendid job with Lage Raho Munna Bhai, I'll invite you to take part in making another Gandhi film become as good as it can.

Hey! Lage raho is in main page. I did not notice it was coming!!-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 03:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Hey!
As you are the one responsible for the FA Lage Raho Munnabhai (which does not seem to be a FA after the last edits of some user.) I turn to you, please do something. I'm trying to reach a FA for Preity Zinta (an Indian actress), and now many users claim that it contains too many non-Rs sites. While working on the article, I was looking for reliable sources, and the only FA article which has Indian sources in it, is Lage Raho Munnabhai. So now, they claim many sites to be unreliable. Everyone who sees "Bollywood" in the site title makes his own conclusions that it is unreliable. How can it be possible?
We've started some discussion here: Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics#Bollywood articles
They claim that boxofficeindia.com, bollyvista.com, The Times of India (!!!) are unreliable. That's a shame. Please do something. I'm loosing the promotion of Zinta, and Lage Raho Munnabhai will soon be taken up for a FAR.
Best regards, Shahid • Talk2me 15:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, well done on your great work on Lage Raho Munna Bhai. The production section is very important though and needs to be made soon before we can take it to GAC. It's looking good though. Also, don't worry about the article if it starts becoming a little too long, please do not delete any content to trim the article, lots of FAs are 50kb and above. Regards. Nobleeagle [TALK] [C] 05:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
I was impressed by your contributions to Lage Raho Munna Bhai. This is one film article which can be cited as model for other film articles and covers all aspects of film comprehensively.Keep up your good work. I was happy to know that you are interested in depictions of Mahatma Gandhi in films.-- Indianstar 13:31, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
I disagree with your FAC contributions, the new synopsis doesn't even mention the fact that Lucky Singh took over the house. The deletion of all the text from the songlist wasn't mandated, the FAC said don't get listy, not that delete all the text. Nobleeagle [TALK] [C] 03:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{ prod}}" template to the article The Making of the Mahatma, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Portal:West Bengal has been vastly improved by riana_ dzasta and S .D. ¿п?, with automated selection of articles. It is now a Featured portal candidate. Please have a look. Regards -- P.K.Niyogi 04:18, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
I notice that in few cases you have replaced NovelsWikiProject tags with {{WP India|literature=yes}}. Please when you add the new tag could you leave to Novels one. Unless of course the article is obviously out of scope and should not have been tagged in the first place. If th India project is working on prose literature as such tagging seems to suggest we should be developing a closer working relationship on these areas of common interest. thanks :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/ (Desk) 10:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi! How are you? What are you doing these days? Saw you editing in Munna Bhai Chale Amerika some days back. Happy editing! Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 15:04, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I, Bhavesh.Chauhan, award Classicfilms with the Indian Cinema Barnstar for outstanding and countless information added to the Zee Cine Awards 2007 article. Keep up the great work! -- Bhavesh.Chauhan 22:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC) |
Hello again Classicfilms! hope you are having a great time on Wikipedia and learning even more ways to make Wikipedia a great website. I just noticed you edited the {{MunnaBhai}} Template that I made and moved the page to {{The Munna Bhai series}}. I thank you once again for making all the templates organised and in the same format on the MBCA article. Your efforts are appreciated. :D Also, I was wondering why you put (English) next to MBCA onto that new template created today. -- Bhavesh.Chauhan 16:40, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Dwaipayanc - I could use your help with the Lage Raho Munna Bhai page. Thanks - Classicfilms 03:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi! What's your plans? IMO, "Production" still needs improvement.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 08:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I have not read the whole article lately. But have a feeling that it's quite well-placed. Please try to read some film-related Featured articles. One of my personal favourites is Tenebrae (film). Also have a look at others. Since Lage Raho is already a good article, you may or may not consider a peer review. My personal suggestion is a peer review. One request. Could you please reply my messages in my talk page? Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 18:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I am slowly working on the references. A few were not retrievable, so changed those. Deleted one ref from a blog-like site (unreliable source). No response so far in Peer Review (which is not uncommon). In case things go like this, you have to move the article to FAC once we're finished with the refs. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 07:33, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
The FAC has started. Enjoy!-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 20:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I feared this might happen with the images (FAC objection). Have removed two images. Requested for review in the FAC. I've uploaded three posters of the film. And requested Jkelly ( talk · contribs) for a review. Depending on his comments, the images may be used. Let's see. -- Dwaipayan ( talk) 05:33, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
What is the source for different country ratings (PG, U etc). IMDb tells just USA and India ratings.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 06:54, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
What about this image for the production section (reference to classic Bollywood film as well as to Sunil Dutt and Nargis) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mother_India_poster.jpg - Classicfilms 07:05, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
I added reviews to the review section and removed the Rotten Tomatoes site which is currently only a preview site and does have the entire range of reviews - though I added one of its reviews to the article's review section. - Classicfilms 15:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
I emailed Abhijat Joshi to have a look at the article, and comment (regarding authenticity, comprehensiveness and any other points). He replied that he is going to take a look in this weekend. It would be good. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 07:00, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I am having trouble in internet connection. Just messaging you from a cafe. The lead of the article is in pathetic condition. Please remove all those big quotes. It's ruining. Don't worry about the 54 kb size. I am attending to that. he previous lead was perfect. No need to add quotes in lead. Taxman did not say to increase the lead. I'm on a hurry. Will elaborate soon. But please consider reverting. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 07:20, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, so far the FAC is going well. Some excellent observations, and supports. Hope Mr Joshi would have a look soon. One question: In plot, "...the "Second Innings House" would be the most auspicious place for Sunny and Simran to live". I forgot the details of the movie, so could not remember this detail. Was it for this reason Lucky Singh was trying to get hold of the house? Please don't mind, I asked that just to be double sure! Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 19:13, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
So how are you feeling about FAC? It's going good. So far, no great obstacles. Hope after this you'd be churning out some more great articles for FAC! In fact, why not try Gandhigiri next? A lot of things from Lage Raho... could be used. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 19:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, I will try to persuade you to try to improve Gandhigiri, and, if possible, try for FAC, too. Though I don't have a vast experience in Wikipedia, it's easy to understand you are a labourious writer. Also, your english writing is good (mine is mediocre, I do small mistakes and have to resort to others for copyedit and good flow). I will request you to improve Gandhigiri. Of course, others will be there to help.
Bye the way, do you have any other plans? Movie articles or otherwise? Have you gone through Sholay? I started to improve it about a year back, but soon discontinued. However, it's quite possible. I do have a good source for that article. The book written by Anupama Chopra. Have a look, please. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 15:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi! Are you sure this helium.com ref is better than the previous dna ref (article by Khalid Mohamed). I don't know much about helium, and I am not able to see the referenced article (I don't know why! - may be it's restricted). In any case, dna is a newspaper and Khalid Mohamed is a notable film critic.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 16:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi! Have you read this article Manos: The Hands of Fate (currently in FAC)? Seemed very interesting to me. Try to read. It is one of the the worst films ever made :) -- Dwaipayan ( talk) 19:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations on the ongoing FAC which seems to be on its way to becoming the first Bollywood article to make it onto the main page. Feels great to see something I worked on finally make it to FA and well done on doing what I couldn't. Brilliant job, article is great and is a great model for all influential Bollywood movies. Good luck with the Editor Review as well. Once again, congrats. — Nobleeagle [TALK] [C] 03:46, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Have started to improve Gandhigiri, rather in a random way. Copy-pasting stuffs from Lage Raho.... Later, this would need modifications so that Gandhigiri stands out as a different article. As a starter, though, copy-pasting is not bad :) Will have to decide the structure of the article, as well. Let's accumulate some content first. Style issues may continue simultaneously. Regards.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 06:26, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
I've been an anonymous background follower of your succes story with Lage Raho Munna Bhai, as I've been using it to inspire my writing of my magnum opus, Sivaji: The Boss - the next best Indian cinema article after the two FA's. I am going to ask you to do me a HUGE favour by helping out in the article - fixing, cleaning, hoovering etc. Can you respond on my talk page, if you agree? Thank you very much. Regards Universal Hero 18:46, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Since you did a splendid job with Lage Raho Munna Bhai, I'll invite you to take part in making another Gandhi film become as good as it can. The project set to be started is the Kamal Haasan- Shah Rukh Khan- Rani Mukherji- Vasundhara Das, Hey Ram. If you're interested can you respond on my talk page. Universal Hero 19:24, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey! Lage raho is in main page. I did not notice it was coming!!-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 03:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Hey!
As you are the one responsible for the FA Lage Raho Munnabhai (which does not seem to be a FA after the last edits of some user.) I turn to you, please do something. I'm trying to reach a FA for Preity Zinta (an Indian actress), and now many users claim that it contains too many non-Rs sites. While working on the article, I was looking for reliable sources, and the only FA article which has Indian sources in it, is Lage Raho Munnabhai. So now, they claim many sites to be unreliable. Everyone who sees "Bollywood" in the site title makes his own conclusions that it is unreliable. How can it be possible?
We've started some discussion here: Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics#Bollywood articles
They claim that boxofficeindia.com, bollyvista.com, The Times of India (!!!) are unreliable. That's a shame. Please do something. I'm loosing the promotion of Zinta, and Lage Raho Munnabhai will soon be taken up for a FAR.
Best regards, Shahid • Talk2me 15:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi! Did you enjoy 3 Idiots ? -- Dwaipayan ( talk) 03:48, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
I liked it quite a lot. However, slightly less than Lage raho... Already saw it 3 times!-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 07:56, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Yes of course I am well. I had a good laugh regarding the fact that Spacemen "boycott"s Salman and Sanjay. Really.. hehe... How are you doing? How many times did you see 3I finally?-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 12:43, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
