[edit] Kolkata trivia

While you are in it, some information may be already there in the History of Kolkata article. Also, some info can be assimilated there (so that we don't have to assimilate that info to Kolkata article). Thanks for the job.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 100,000 seat sporting venues

I've started a new sporting venue list here for all sporting venues. Take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks. Patken4 (talk) 21:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. Regarding only doing those stadiums that are currently 100,000 or more, I wanted the list to look at this from both a current and historical point of view. So even if a stadium is currently less than 100,000, at one point it did have a capacity that high, regardless of the circumstances surrounding. I did move Strahov Stadium to the historical stadium list. As for adding the states, I don't know how much value it would add. Thanks again! Patken4 (talk) 21:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

See the talk page for my responses. Thanks! Patken4 (talk) 21:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Book cover image

Hi! Please see the description and licensing of the following image: Image:Chander pahar cover.JPG. You will get to know.--Dwaipayan (talk) 14:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Did you upload the cover image?--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:03, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Now, now...that's a tough question. Have a look at WP:IUP. In most of the cases, images in most website are not free for use. FlickR has a Creative Commons category which often gives usable images.

Infrequently, some websites states that they abide by creative commons rules, and many of their images can be used.

Again, some images are old enough so that their copyright has expired (hence they are in public domain), whatever may be the website hosting them.

Images from certain domain are absolutely free, for example, all the USA government sites, including government agencies such as NASA. But images from Indian government websites are not free for use.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bengali wikipedia

Would you be interested to look into the Bengali wikipedia too? There are about 2 or 3 editors from WB who contribute there ... which is a very small number :( . Since most of the volunteers are from Bangladesh, we now have a complete representation of Bangladesh-related topics there, but relatively less coverage of WB. So, if you can, please take a look. You might have to configure your system for viewing unicode Bangla text. Other than that, there should be no special requirements ... we have a built in phonetic Bangla keyboard there. --Ragib (talk) 04:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

By the way, I'm fine with your removal of "Bangladeshi writers" type categories from the author pages ... for people born in what is now Bangladesh, I add the category for the home district of the person. For example, if someone was born in Kushtia District, I add the Category:Kushtia District to the article. That categorization is independent of the country (i.e. British India, Bengal, East Bengal/Pakistan, Bangladesh, West Bengal/India issues).--Ragib (talk) 04:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree with that or even "Bangladesh-born writers", but claiming for example Achintyakumar Sengupta as a Bangladeshi writer or Bangladeshi Hindu is a bit too much. I'll add the district thing as far as possible. Thanks.GDibyendu (talk) 04:30, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

The default font in XP (vrinda) is to be blamed for the "small font problem". Just get some better fonts like "Bangla" or "Solaimanlipi" from http://www.omicronlab.com or http://www.ekushey.org , and change the display font for Bangla in your browser. --Ragib (talk) 06:44, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kajol

I know it is not a controversial information and I see the point you are getting at. However, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, I assumed that things need references. So that is why, I added the ref. to support the claim. --Bollywood Dreamz ^Talk 16:58, 28 April 2008

[edit] Re: Bengali Films

Thanks for informing me! This may be was done because those Bengali Film related articles have included Category:Pakistan or any of its sub categories.

[edit] List of million plus cities in India

Well this article is misleading- the title is list of million plus cities in India, and then there is a caveat, the data relates to 2001 census and there is a proposal mentioned here that the list not be changed till 2011, and the data is also of 2001.

In today's world it is misleading to have 7 year old data and use it to freeze an online article that people are going to use for referncing in an encyclopedia, if it has to be frozen the article title should be changed to " List of million plus cities in India in 2001".- Your thougts please.

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the India WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of India.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Please participate in any of our descendant workgroups that might interest you.
• The project has a bimonthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered in its entirety, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every India article in Wikipedia.
• Can you code? The automation department uses automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be tedious to do manually.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 04:33, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Automation

Hi, I noticed your message on Tirunecherian's talk page. Please go through WP:BOTS and Creating a bot pages that explain how bots can be used on Wikipedia. I have run bots and can help you out with any questions. You will need to create a seperate bot account, for example, User:GDibyenduBot and get it approved for the task (for example project assement, see Ganeshbot BRFA). Then you can use the account to make automated edits using WP:AWB. The plugin helps automate project banner tagging using WP:AWB. Hope that helps. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 20:23, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

To answer your question on TC's talk page, you can write bots in Python, Perl, .Net for which libraries are available. But most tasks don't need coding and can be accomplished by running WP:AWB. For doing what you ask, you can use "Links on page" feature, enter "Padma Bhushan" and then choose, Add category option to the add the category and skip the articles where the category already exists. Let me know if you have any questions, Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 20:46, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

There is a bot requests page where non-technical people can request for automation and programmers help out with the requests using WP:AWB or some additional coding. AWB also allows for coding (see custom modules) if you know .NET or C#. Regards, Ganeshk (talk)

[edit] WikiProject films peer review of Pather Panchali

Pather Panchali, an Indian film directed by Satyajit Ray, is one of the Core articles in wikiproject film. The article is at the WikiProject Films' peer review section here. Please provide inputs. Thanks a lot. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 12:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I also tried Japanese sites on Kinema Junpo, but even google translations are not adequately helpful to find out the archives. Will have to ask some Japanese for help.

Regarding the "cast" section, I personally do not have any preference. Wikiproject films style guidelines recommends a separate section on "cast". However, at the same time, it cites some film FAs that do not have separate cast section, and introduces the cast within the "plot" section, as does Pather Panchali now.

You can do one thing, state that you have removed "cast" section in the film peer review (link provided in the earlier message). Let's see what do the guys of the film project have to say. If they say it's ok, that's fine. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:32, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Asked for help from Nippon :)--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:40, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Added another paragraph in Legacy. See how do you like it. The rationale behind this para is - I thought the legacy of Pather Panchali (director's first film) on teh director's subsequent ventures should be mentioned. However the last para does not really say anything on the effect/reflection of Panchali on his nexts. I am trying to find some sources (I came across once some days ago) which would prove the adequacy of this last para.

Moreover, the paragraph describes in very short the development of Ray to an auteur. IMO, this is needed. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:41, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Added source and accordingly modified the legacy section. Actors in later life—something on their professional life may be acceptable. Regarding articles for Subir Banerjee and Chunibala Devi, those already exists. Acting in the role of a enotable character in a notable film is adequate for having articles, i guess.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:02, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pather Panchali plot

I was thinking about totally changing the plot section, and describe it as it unfolded in the film, rather than the present rambling form. What do you think? Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 09:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Please see User:Dwaipayanc/sandbox15. An effort to create a descriptive plot has been started. Please help. Later, two versions can be compared. --Dwaipayan (talk) 12:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I shall ask in the PR if this approach is what someone is asking for (descriptive detail). However, the alternate version is far from being complete. I have forgot details :(

Oh yes, I have noticed the stubs. and also the expansion that Banshi Chandragupta underwent recently. Great work, indeed. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:49, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stratford Festival

Pather Panchali received the award in "Stratford Festival", as mentioned in several sites, such as this and this NYT archive. But what it is (the festival), none has clearly mentioned. Indeed this is intriguing. The only notable Stratford festival is the Stratford Festival. No separate film festival I could find in the web. That's why I made that wikilink. If the festival from where Pather.. won the award is not this Stratford Festival, then what is it? What is that festival? Any clue?--Dwaipayan (talk) 08:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

But the Film Festival was a part of the Stratford Festival, per the "Stratford Festival Production History (1953-1999)" in the appendix of this book.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Bur at the beginning it was not a Shakepearian one, it was just "Stratford Festival". The epithet Shakespeare was added much later, very recently.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Anyway, I saw the book you just referred, that the film festival was moved to Toronto. So, the wikilinking is wrong in teh article. The proper link would be Stratford Film Festival.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:21, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Yes I saw your edits. I am doing some edits now (those which are easily addressable). Will do more tomorrow.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Did that "first Indian cinema to receive international attention" bit; also added several translations of the title. However, IMO, "auteurs" sentence is ok. Let's see how Girolamo responds.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Started work on the Scenes of the film here. If finally the section turns out ok, it can be included in the article. But it's huge now. Please help. --Dwaipayan (talk) 13:40, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Have a look at the Themes section of Tenebrae (film). The themes section there has several subsections. Somehow we can accomodate the scenes in Pather Panchali in some similar fashion. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I am not very sure about Digboi and Digboi Oil Town merger/ otherwsie. At the time of transfer of matter from Ganeshbot sandbox, I had kept them separate because they were so treated in the Census. There must have been some reason behind it, but I could not find it. I think the merger tag can be ignored for the present until some one suggests a good reason for the same.
