Nandita Das

Hi, Thanks for you Bollywood related contributions. I have removed the text you added to Nandita Das, since it comes from http://www.nanditadasonline.com/aboutnandita_inc.htm and in its present state not encylcopedic. If you have acquired permission for the text, please state so on the talk page and rewrite it from a Neutral Point of View. Can you please tag Image:NanditaCol.jpeg and state the source. You have already done this for Image:NanditaCannes2005.jpeg, but can you please be clear on which press office gave the permission - Nandita's or Cannes. Please feel free to ask for any help you require. Thanks. -Pamri • Talk 07:25, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Pamri. Nandita's press office gave permission for all these images to be used. I am just too much of an ingenue and girlie not to know how to go back and 'change tags'! Help! ;o) I have also re-written. Delighted to be a part of this community - proud Wiki asians. Autumnleaf 13:20, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

No probs, I will walk you through.

• Go to the images that you have uploaded: Image:NanditaCol.jpeg
• Click on the edit tab
• Insert a license from Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. You had inserted {{NoRightsReserved}} for the other image, which is good enough.
• State why you think it is free. For example, from press office is vague and can be reworded to Nandita's press office gave permission for all these images to be used. or something else. If you have an email permission, please forward it to permissions at wikimedia dot org and state you have done. This is optional and not needed, but people (like me :-D) will have less to complain.

For Image:NanditaCannes2005.jpeg, clarifying the permission bit is enough. If you still find this confusing, leave a message on my talk page and I will do it for you.

Its even better if you can upload it to Wikimedia Commons, since other language wikipedias can use it and we can group together free images of Indian actors in one place. Again, if you need help here, ping me on my talk page. Thanks for uploading the Pictures. --Pamri • Talk 13:54, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I have uploaded the images to Wikimedia Commons myself. I have retained file name, copyright tag and have attributed you as well. See commons:Category:Indian actors.

PC Sorcar

Hi, you did well on the tag thingy. Just edit List of Indians & add him to the appropriate section. For the category, edit PC Sorcar and replace [[Category:Indian people|Sorcar, P.C.]] & [[Category:Professional magicians|Sorcar, P.C.]] with [[Category:Indian magicians|Sorcar, P.C.]]. Edit Category:Indian magicians and then add the two categories: [[Category:Indian people]] & [[Category:Professional magicians]] to the page. --Pamri • Talk 02:54, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Pamri - you are so cool! Still not been able to figure things out. Meanwhile - I think I discovered another person to put into all those links - aladin ring any bells? Asian Age did a really good piece on him a few years back - he is more or less expat Indian as his mother is Assamese and his Dad ex-East Bengal; check his website. If you wouldn't mind - could BOTH these guys be put in the right lists and sections? THANKS Autumnleaf 17:21, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

I have created Category:Indian magicians for you and categorized the two articles you mentioned. Its recommended to reply to the user's talk page in most cases, since we can't track everyone's user page. --Pamri • Talk 18:13, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

NPOV tag

Hi, You added the NPOV tag in a wrong manner for the Jet Airways article. I think you did a {{subst:NPOV}}, which is not necessary for this template and the code makes the page clunky in edit mode. Just inserting {{NPOV}} is enough. --Pamri • Talk 14:07, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hi Autumnleaf, this is in response to your thanks on my talk page. I feel it may interest you to look at Category:Indian people. Guess we'll keep running into each other with our edits on India-related articles. Hope you'd continue editing through Winter, Summer and Spring as well, :)Gurubrahma 18:36, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Great timing - was just leaving something for Pamri above, do check please. Definitely should go into Indian people category don't you think? As to keeping up momentum, well; I hope to slip in a few more edits between now and New Year's Eve, don't worry! Autumnleaf 17:25, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Just saw your msg. Well, as things go here, we reply on the addressee's talk page unless specified otherwise. As Pamri said, it is difficult to keep track of who is saying what. Some users typically want both the queries and replies on their page with the plea that they do not want conversations in fragments. But they are in a minority. And if one does not want fragments, they can always copy-paste their messages to the addressee on their own page as well (just-as-you-did). However, I think it is an unnecessary waste of time and effort. So, to keep it short, respond on the addressee's talk page; and they'd do so too. As far as categorizing goes, do as you please and ppl will correct the mess, if any. If it is serious enough, they'll also let you know. I can understand your feelings about wikipedia resembling a techno gizmo and intimidating to new users as I too was in the same situation not very long back. However, generous use of the Show Preview button is good enough to cure one of all the techno-phobias. Best, --Gurubrahma 14:27, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi again!!

just noticed that you voted on pamri's RfA as soon as I listed it on wp:inwnb - good to know that my effort hasn't gone waste ;) btw, the main reason why I'm writing to you now is that you've marked your edit on the RfA as minor. It would not be considered a minor edit - pl. have a look at Wikipedia:Minor edit. Hope you're enjoying your time on Wikipedia, Regards, --Gurubrahma 10:49, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Good edits on Shahrukh!

It is always a pleasure being edited by someone who can actually improve one's prose. I usually have the experience of having my passable prose mangled by someone who writes even more clumsily. Thanks so much. Zora 11:15, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

If you really want some work to do ... someone added a LOT of material to the Guru Dutt article and it's a bit rough in places. The article could use a good copyedit. So, I think, could Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar, and Kishore Kumar. Also, the List of popular Bollywood films is full of recent hits and sparse on the evergreen classics. If you're one of those people who are up on every film that Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Guru Dutt, Shammi Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra, etc. ever made -- this is the job for you. We need articles on Bhagyashree, Vijayantimala, and Nimmi as well. Enough work? Zora 12:10, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks from Pamri

Hi, Thanks a ton for supporting and voting at my RFA. I am now a wikipedia administrator. I hope I can keep your trust and hopefully, we should interact more in the future. Thanks again.--Pamri ^{• Talk • Reply} 05:01, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
