How many US dollars do you think the Indian rupee equalled in the 1930s? I can't find a source describing the exchange rate back then. This info is to be used in Kalidas (film). Kailash29792 (talk) 07:18, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Please note that I have requested that Pather Panchali, an article you worked on extensively, be included as Today's Featured Article for August 26th, the 60th anniversary of its Kolkata premiere. Dylanexpert (talk) 18:49, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Congrats on getting it featured today. Its a great article and hopefully will bring even more public interest to the film.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 00:07, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

It's a wonderful article Dwai, exceptionally well-researched. Kudos to you.-Classicfilms (talk) 13:36, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi Dwai! Hope all is going well with you. I just cleaned up Chak De! India which hasn't had a formal review since the GAN in 2009. I've put in a request for a copy edit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests#August_2015

I'm hoping to slowly over time build it to an FAC. I'm actually pretty busy at the moment - but when I saw the state the article was in, I just had a marathon clean up. It should take them about a month or two to get to the article so there is time to fix areas.

I fully deleted one section because every single link is out of date - which is Box Office. I know that film articles have to have a "box office" section to get through GAN and FAC's - I'm wondering if you would have time to help me with this section. I found one current link http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&country=IN&id=chakdeindia.htm

And have pasted the text as it was before I removed it below. I'm actually going offline for a few days but I'll check in on the Weekend or next week. If you don't have the time to get through cleaning up this section - do you know anyone who will? And if you have other feedback that would be great - though no obligation to work on the article. As I said I am going to be coming and going anyway. Here is the old info:

(from infobox) | budget = ₹240 million (US$3.0 million)^[1] | gross = ₹1.05 billion (US$13 million)^[2]

Box office

Upon release, the film recorded a below average opening in India. This lower-than-expected occupancy level was an outcome of its limited release in various territories including West Bengal.^[3] However, due to the strong critical response the film received, collections increased with the final outcome of over 80% occupancy for the weekend. Subsequently, Chak De! India was granted tax exemptions by the state of Bihar (which reduced tickets prices).^[4] The film's box office collections increased and it eventually grossed ₹220 million (US$2.8 million) in its first week.^[5] By the end of its theatrical run, Chak De! India became the third highest grossing film of 2007 in India, with revenues of ₹676.9 million (US$8.5 million) domestically.^[6] Box Office India declared it a "Blockbuster."^[6]

Chak De! India opened at number 20 in the US, number 11 in the UK, and number 12 in Australia.^[7] It earned a total of ₹35 million (US$440,000) in the United Kingdom, ₹45 million (US$560,000) in North America, and ₹35 million (US$440,000) from the remaining overseas proceeds.^[8]

I just found another reference which is currently in the SRK article -- not entirely certain about the source but will share here:

Chak De's stats are listed at #23

Just FYI - I've brought it back to GA status (and had it copyedited) - at some point over this year, I'd like to bring the article to FAC. I see you are quite busy these days but if you ever have the time to work on it, let me know. I think it is an article worthy of FAC. Hope all is well. -Classicfilms (talk) 07:55, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Please comment There's a afd going on here. It needs to close, but consensus is not certain. More participation is needed. Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 21:54, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

As someone who encouraged me to take this article to FAC, would you be interested in reviewing the article which is currently at FAC now? —Vensatry _(ping) 10:42, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Hai, I have nominated the film article Loham for GA-status. Which is currently on "Hold on" time and there are some corrections to be done before it ends. Mainly copy editing for grammer and writting style. For making it a good article there are some suggestions referred in Talk:Loham. I invite you to make your contributions to it. --Charles Turing (talk) 13:41, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

I know that there's no obligation for you to do this, but I'd like to ask that you try to find sourcing for articles if you dePROD them, at least with the articles that relate to Rajeshbieee, who was blocked as a sockpuppet of Gantlet. The problem here is that this user has created 914 articles, almost all of which have little to no sourcing that would be considered reliable. Many of them are sourced to places like eBay, which isn't reliable by any definition of the term. The problem with taking all of these films to AfD is that there are hundreds of them and this would put a large strain on AfD, which is usually overwhelmed to begin with. I've been looking using Google and the India WP's search engines and have found little to nothing to show that these films would fare any differently if they were brought to AfD. These articles were all created prior to the main account's block, so they don't fall under G5.

As someone who has a basic knowledge of Hindi and Bengali, you're in a position where you could look for sources I cannot. Can you perform a good faith search for sourcing in other languages if you're going to dePROD the articles? It's difficult for myself and the others (there's only about 3-4 of us tops) going through the 900+ pages to really backtrack given the large number of problematic articles. So far we've only gone through maybe a fifth of the articles and almost all of them lack sourcing to assert notability, so I'd appreciate any help you could give sourcing as opposed to simply dePRODing the articles and telling me to go through AfD. If the guy had only created a handful of articles this wouldn't be so bad, but this is potentially 400-500 articles that could be taken to AfD if we were to not go through PROD.

User:Smaj23 and his duplicate account User:Hindu lead are adding unsourced and POV content to the wiki. I have reverted them to the last correct version by you. Please keep a check on the wiki article. Thanks. HamarBangla (talk) 05:17, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

I believe that User: HamarBangla is using this page as a platform to show personal opinion or grudge, like ' long history of riot' which is not cited. Mention of other issues are never relevant. Need to rewrite the article. Will work on very soon. See those. And the other user is not at all a duplicate one, but the user is off course known to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smaj23 (talk • contribs) 07:05, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

This user has also deleted some relevant informations referenced by trusted news agencies. Those informations go against certain ideology but those are facts. Recent police report also clears it up that the situation is not at all a riot but a mafia clash with police. So need to rewrite the article in order to change the way of view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smaj23 (talk • contribs) 08:18, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Wiki admins have banned User:Smaj23 and his sockpuppet User:Hindu lead, See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Smaj23. I have cleaned the wikipage, I hope Smaj23 does not start his dirty tricks again to hide the real reason behind the riots. HamarBangla (talk) 07:33, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Observed some edits in 2016 Kaliachak riots|Protests and violence and it is written that the gathering of people ranges from 30000 to 2.5lakh. The lower limit is supported by news reports but not the upper one, and the range seems unrealistic considering the lower range. Hence should be reviewed and perhaps deleted.Omg56 (talk) 15:02, 19 January 2016 (UTC) Omg56

Sorry, I'm a new user hence did the mistake to link the page. I'm giving the webpage address [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omg56 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
