:Apologies, mate. Didn't mean to step on your toes or give the impression I'm ignoring you. I guess I'm a bit preoccupied at the moment with some real-world issues that I won't bore you with. No excuse, I guess. I was just blowing through the templates for a bit today as a form of relaxation. I'd like to see the film lists looking better, too. Free-use or public-domain film images will help spice things up and get the lists headed toward featured-list status.

::I go to press previews and film premieres when I get the chance, and take my little digital camera. So yeah, the photos are mine. Most aren't very good, but some turn out quite nice. [[List of Thailand's submissions for Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film]] is an example. The Chatrichalerm photo was taken on the move, so the focus is too soft. I'm not happy with the photo at all, but it's there, taking up space. The Pen-ek photo, meanwhile, is taken from too far away, but I had the time and just kept snapping and snapping, and eventually he clicked with my camera. I think he took the photo himself, even though I was standing perhaps nine meters away pushing the button. It's one of my favorite shots. — '''[[User:Wisekwai|Wise]]'''''[[User talk:Wisekwai|Kwai]]'' 17:26, 4 September 2007 (UTC) |

Truthfully, this was my own work. It was something I wrote for a college course. I did spend hours on it and the pictures are all my own - from my own snowboarding adventures. I hope this won't be deleted since I am very proud of it and spent a lot of time on it. Thanks. |

My mistake, didn't checked thoroughly enough. I removed the image from the list. The point still stands though, one can take a free content image from another film, or have no image. It is not necessary to have an image of An American in Paris, that image only serves a decorative purpose. Garion96 (talk) 18:09, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- See Commons:Category:1951 in film for more free content images of 1951. For instance A streetcar named desire. I do think it just is decorative but perhaps we should ask for a second opinion at Wikipedia:Fair use review. Garion96 (talk) 18:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Looks good now. We both got what we wanted, an image but no fair use image. :) Regarding the rationale. I just don't agree with point 1. I don't think an image in that list "significantly contribrutes to the article and illustrates the role and significance of that". Garion96 (talk) 18:50, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, we do seem to encounter eachother lately. :) It is a copyvio but not from the first edit. I will purge the copyvio (partial delete) so that the whole article will still be there. I asked on the Singapore's noticeboard and it was indeed confirmed as a copyvio. I, or someone else working on Wikipedia:Copyright problems just haven't got around to it yet. Garion96 (talk) 09:24, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- I just "processed" the article. :) Unfortunately it had multiple copyright violations in it's history so I deleted the article and created a ministub. I hope someone can expand it again to it's original state, albeit without the copyvio's. Garion96 (talk) 18:08, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

He has acted in so many films, that whenever I see the list I get a strong headache. Regards, --Shahid • Talk2me 15:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- No, how can you say that it was just a humorous comment of mine (the headache...). And there is norhing wrong in requesting:). Best regards, --Shahid • Talk2me 16:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- In the close up image she is too much close and almost attached to the camera, her eyes are almost closed, so I don't really find the sense in having this image at the box, while the other one is in a perfect profile, her face is brilliantly portrayed, we can see part of her body, so I strongly think it should be there.
- I didn't notice your previous images. I will create the Padmini filmo, and I have seen Darna Mana Hai. Great-long film.
- And I also have a little request. If you ever find a free licensed image of Preity Zinta, please let me know. She doesn't have.
- And finally, what'd you think about the Raj Kapoor filmography and the Zeenat Aman filmography? I also noticed your help on the Raat Aur Din page. I always forget adding the Bollywood template. Thanks!
- Best regards, --Shahid • Talk2me 20:20, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm aware of everything you're doing and I think you're a brilliant editor and one of the best Wikipedia has ever known. I know that you are the creator of WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers, and your work is much appreciated. I have also checked out your edits count... I'm shocked with your tireless dedication to Wikipedia. BTW, I'm quite surprised to see red links for American films... LOL.. My best regards, --Shahid • Talk2me 21:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- I personally think it is great that you have so so much edits, whether it's minor or significant one - It's still an edit. You are among the most active users Wikipedia has ever known and I feel proud of having so much talks with you:)
- It's OK, if there's no photo, there is nothing else to do. I think flickr.com does its updates everytime, and who knows maybe I could find something later. Regards. --Shahid • Talk2me 05:19, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes you're absolutely right. Other Indian cinema related are really poorly written. That's also what I think about Bollywood articles, which are also deprived compared to Hollywood, which are huge. Bollywood articles are so brief. There are lots of. Now it is a good concern you've introduced. Tamil, Telugu etc, are placed at the very bottom. I'd like to help but as you see, I'm almost not here. I'm just coming once in a while to check my watchlist. I hope your suggestion works. Unfortunately, it's true. No-one works on these articles and they usually remain stubs. I hope your comments open whoever's eyes and they do something. I'm said about this occasion, but I'm happy users like you do worry for it. It's great, and whenever I have time, I'll try to help out. I'm not a big fan of other Indian films other than Bollywood, but nevertheless. Thanks, --Shahid • Talk2me 18:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Please help here. Some user wants to delete all the award pages. I can't believe this. There are so much awards, it will be a big mess if we try to integrate them into their main articles.

About Telugu Films
Can you give me more insight on what you are expecting me to clean? Wikified means capitalisation or incorrect links or just about information in the articles. Also pass me any guidelines pages. mlpkr 17:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Template request
Hi, yes we meet again so soon. Since you are quite good in templates, see the infamous Template:CinemaoftheUS :), I have a request. I want to change Template:Monty Python to standard show collapsed since the template right now is just too big. Unfortunately right now it doesn't collapse at all of course and I don't really know how make it a: collapsible and b: to automatically show collapsed. Could you help? Garion96 (talk) 18:54, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Collapsible is not so easy in this regard. state=collapsed only works I think for standard naxbox templates, this one is made from scratch. I will ask your expert for advice. Thanks, Garion96 (talk) 19:03, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- The expert fixed it, thanks for the referral. Garion96 (talk) 21:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
British Virgin Islands template
Well done on the producing the British Virgin Islands template and splitting out the various islands. I am not quite sure where you sourced your data, but the template needs to be tightened up a bit. Key islands such as Ginger Island, Cooper Island, Scrub Island and Green Cay seem to be missing, but to balance them out you have stuck in some non-existent islands (like Little Wickhams Cay (not actually a separate island, but an area of reclaimed land in Road Town, firmly attached to Tortola) and Diamond Cay (by which I think you mean the Diamond Cay National Park on Little Jost Van Dyke, which again is not physically separate)). There is also a bit of duplication in the template, in that you have a link for Dog Islands and then separate links for each one of them (same for Little Sisters (or Seven Sisters). Good job generally; I'll try and stick in some of the missing islands, but don't be offended if I have to list a couple of the non-existent islands as AfDs. --Legis (talk - contribs) 01:37, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- No problem at all. I want to check a few things before I delete anything; there are a lot of tiny rocks around in the BVI, so I don't want to remove anything in error only to later discover that it did exist, but I had just never heard of it. I will try and get ahold of a decent nautical chart. --Legis (talk - contribs) 11:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I will definitely have to try and take the boat out and get some photos. The articles look a bit bare without them (especially the ones relating to uninhabited islands!). I recalled another island that we forgot - Prickly Pear - which I will stick on at some point. --Legis (talk - contribs) 17:37, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

France Map for Communes of X dept/ Renders funky in Firefox/linux
Heya, The map is very nice, and while I'm sure it looks great under IE or more common os's, Firefox 2.0 on Linux plops the map right on top of the right hand column. There's a screenshot here.
I fiddled with it a bit, but just can't get the second column to break. Also, without the "thumb" tag, the image appears much larger and grainy. Is this something with to two column layout + unframed image = funkiness? I don't know, but I thought you should know there may be some potential problem. CheersT L Miles 14:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hey, I think you're right that it does make the whole thing nicer, but you should take a look and see how it renders. If it's just Firefox on Linux, that's no big deal, as the numbers using that are small. If it's Firefox on Windows (which I don't have access to at the momement), then we need to find a fix, as that is a large portion of people viewing it. IF that is the case, then I'm sure this is a problem that has been documented (I assume in the interaction of double columns of tables and a image with short text.T L Miles 18:05, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Yes
I knew my recent edits would probably draw a message from you. So I guess now it's time for me to explain myself. I'm going through the film list templates and putting them in their own category. I've found the clapperboard icons are being used too large. They'll max out at 100px without getting jagged looking. The "Encyclopedia of" additions seems redundant and a bit bizarre, like they aren't part of "Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia" but from another website entirely. I guess I can understand why you've boosted the point size on the headers, to give them more weight, but I don't believe it is necessary. It makes the templates look busier than they need to be. — WiseKwai 16:54, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

No excuse, I guess. I was just blowing through the templates for a bit today as a form of relaxation. I'd like to see the film lists looking better, too.
