[edit] Category

I am having trouble categorizing this article. Please help! --Dwaipayanc 07:01, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Relevant mentions on Partition of India

The fiction and the films are already mentioned on the main article. --Andy123 11:34, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Duplication

As far as I can tell, most (but not all) of the list at the bottom is a recap of the main body of the article. Could someone actively working on this article please sort this out? Also, note the Artistic depictions of the partition of India at The Internet Movie Database template that I've added to the article, and notice that I pulled most links out of subheads, per Wikipedia style. - Jmabel | Talk 05:01, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

There's no duplication now. I moved the film and novel sections here, and erased them on the main article; however, Deepak Gupta restored them when he reverted my edits to put his graphic back in pride of place. I reverted again. I'm aware that there's a lot of duplication between the lists that I added and the lists that Dwai started, it's going to have be sorted out. I must say that I don't like his organization or formatting particularly; I would prefer something like the style of the lists.

Perhaps I should have done the work here, but I was focussing on getting the Partition article sorted out. Zora 05:13, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi! If we retain the style of the list, how we are going to say something about each of the entries? I do not have any qualms whether the style I formatted or the list is retained. However, I emphasize that at least some material on each of the entries should be retained. And if we can do so in the list format, that's great! Please help Zora. --Dwaipayanc 14:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Despite the claim that there is "no duplication now" the lists at the bottom of the article seem to recap the same plays and novels that are discussed in the main body of the article. I haven't looked at every intervening version to see if there might have been a point where the claim to the contrary was true, but the duplication was there 05:01, 24 March 2006 (UTC) and it's there now. - Jmabel | Talk 06:46, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced?

I'm not sure what the {{unsourced}} tag on this really means. The books and films are each evidence for their own existence; what exactly is it that someone wants to see sourced? - Jmabel | Talk 05:03, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non-fiction

Isn't this article also supposed to cover non-fiction works of art about partition, e.g., Dominique Lapierre's Freedom at Midnight ? deeptrivia (talk) 21:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Plausibly. It's a question of how deep into non-fiction one can go and still be "artistic". - Jmabel | Talk 16:33, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hey Ram.jpg

Image:Hey Ram.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TODO

Now wikipages for many of the films discussed are available. These need to be linked. GDibyendu (talk) 13:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

It seems the films are linked at the end of the page. But, then its a repetition. The page content needs to be presented in more concise format avoiding these duplications.GDibyendu (talk) 14:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
