Dear Straight Talk,

It is a good thing for you to add articles about films that don't already have articles; anything is better than nothing. However, I don't think it was a good idea to replace the perfectly adequate synopsis for Sholay with your own words. English is perhaps your second language? Your synopsis was not as good as what was there previously. I have reverted to the older version.

If you are going to write synopses, do try to keep them short and succinct. It is necessary to give only the barest outlines of the plot. We need to describe the movie so that people who are considering watching it (say on TV or on DVD) can decide if it's the sort of thing they might like -- but not so thoroughly that the movie is completely spoiled, or at such great length that readers are bored. It's very hard to do this well!

I hope I haven't hurt your feelings. There is so much work to be done on Indian film, and every editor is needed. Foreigners are just starting to explore Indian cinema, and Wikipedia can be great guide for them -- or us, since I'm a firangi myself. More exposure for India and more money for Indian industries! Have you joined the Indian Cinema Wikiproject yet? It's at WP:INCINE. We keep track of things that need to be done, or discuss problems. People are usually kind and supportive.
