Heya. How would you write the reviews, say in
Thodu Needa? In full sentences as if there was no review. My sentences are not in par with what you usually write!
-- DaxServer (
talk) 18:18, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
DaxServer, I usually try to get hold of a phrase that encapsulates the gist of the review while also touching upon various aspects of the film. You can check out FAs like Eega and Mayabazar to get some idea.

Pending films template
I noticed in one revert, you mentioned {{
Dagger}} shall be outside. I've been setting them inside the {{
Pending}} template so far. Which one do you think we go by hereafter? Also, I've been thinking of creating a template for all of this, naming {{
Pending film}} which would take the [wikilinked] film name and returns italicized inside the Pending template along with the Dagger. An optional parameter italic could be added with yes (default) and no to make it italic. Thoughts?
-- DaxServer (

@
DaxServer: Ideally, the dagger template is suppossed to carry an alt text to aid the visually impaired. So I thought that is better kept outside rather than placing it within an other template. Pending film template is a good idea. I think we can also set to align left by default unlike the Pending template. --

Hey. I just noticed that you moved it without suffix to
Jogulamba Gadwal last year as it's unique and no disambiguation necessary. Couple of days ago, an admin Premeditated Chaos moved
Bhadradri Kothagudem district from without suffix to with suffix, stating to standardise with other Indian district article titles. Any objections for moving the Jogulamba Gadwal to with district?
-- DaxServer (
talk) 13:22, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
@
DaxServer: I'm of the opinion that the suffix is not necessary when the district has a unique name but several other editors prefer to have it for the sake of consistency. A
2020 RM to rationalize this resulted in no consensus. That said, I woudn't object moving it back. --
Ab207 (
talk) 13:57, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
Alright, I'll just leave it then. Perhaps I'll also write to Premediated Chaos and see what she thinks.
-- DaxServer (

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in
section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a
request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the
Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

@
Ab207 Do we have a film posters sort-of categories? Or a broad Telugu films perhaps.
-- DaxServer (
talk) 15:37, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
DaxServer I'm not too familiar with how media is categorized. I guess there are fewer categories for them because its mostly for maintainence than navigation. --
Ab207 (
talk) 15:48, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll dig thru them when I get some time.

An IP's humble query
I need a Wikipedia page with my name how to create it — Preceding
unsigned comment added by
157.48.69.134 (
talk) 02:49, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
I am a 100% sure about the information, hence the changes. Request you not to reverse them as a lot of effort has been put in to write the content. Necessary articles will come up when they are published. The promotions of these films haven't started yet and hence no articles online as of yet but it's 100% authentic information.
Myself05 (
talk) 05:28, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
Myself05. Appreciated your effort but
verifiability is one of the core content policies of Wikipedia. If other editors cannot verify whether the information you add is correct, it should not be added. Please find the sources before adding them or better wait until that film releases. Thanks --
Ab207 (
talk) 05:41, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
I am not an editor, It's my page and these are the films I am doing. I don't know who can verify about myself more than me. So please refrain from making assumptions and changes to my page when I am adding content about MY work.
Myself05 (
talk) 07:38, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
Myself05, if you are the subject of the page or you are representing them, then you should probably refrain from editing that page. Please review
Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline and note that it is strongly discouraged to write about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships. If you do, you are expected to
diclose the same on your user page. You may
propose changes on the talk page by using the {{
request edit}} template as per
WP:COIEDIT and its also helpful to go through
Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thanks and regards --

Evaru Manalo Koteeswarulu
Hey! I haven't watched. I actually didn't know the premiere date. I see some links on YouTube but I don't know if they are a full episode. Was there something interesting? No spoilers :P 🙈
-- DaxServer (
talk) 17:36, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
DaxServer Haha, nothing much. It premiered yesterday and after the question related to that district, NTR (rather incorrectly) says, "Asifabad district was renamed as Komaram Bheem" instead of "Asifabad district was named after Komaram Bheem." Just a weird co-incidence that we are dealing with the same now lol. --

Deletions
Filmomusico is nominating various ANR and NTR films for deletion. Could you please help? I'm getting little time to stop him. Kailash29792(talk) 12:12, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Kailash29792, that's unfortunate. I was able to save a few of them but there's only so much one editor can do and old film reviews are difficult to find. --
Ab207 (
talk) 12:29, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
@
Ab207: and @
Kailash29792: I would like to apologize for my deletions, but I too follow a policy here. I do however manage to improve some, but those that I can not, somebody else should. We have too many articles on films that use nothing else but IMDb (an
unreliable source, fyi).--
Filmomusico (
talk) 17:00, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Sounds tragic. I would also make this a priority. As Ab207 said, it's quite difficult for the old films, but some are salvageable! I'll do what I can. — DaxServer (
talk to me) 20:58, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Thanks @
Kailash29792, Ab207 told me about the site couple of weeks ago. A great site actually! Will we use the song books to cite in the Soundtrack and other cast sections? How could we establish it as part of NFILM? — DaxServer (
talk to me) 08:16, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
@
DaxServer: Per
WP:RSCONTEXT, I rate IB Times and TOI as few of the better sources we have with regard to Indian films, or atleast they are not worse by any measure. Take Kabali for example where "ever-reliable"
WP:INDIANEXP published
dubious figure of 650 crore as gross collection by incorrectly adding pre-release business, and it was
WP:IBT which
call out their BS. More over, I have seen editors using WP:RSP as an excuse to
removed sourced figures for films which they don't seem to like when they are perfectly okay with
citing facebook posts for other films. --
