Invitations
Might be worth plouging through the WP Films and Wp:Actors members lists with invitations to the Golden Hollywood contest. I did ask User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao to do it with AWB but he's busy I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:38, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- Ek, sorry - forgot to respond. I can try and do something for this tonight or this weekend; it's not difficult, actually, and I don't need to use AWB to do it. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 12:49, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- No worries User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao , it's Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Golden Hollywood Contest . Wp:Films, Wp:Actors and Wp:California/Los Angeles members should probably be alerted.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:13, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
Emailed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:07, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Dr. Blofeld: Replied, punk.

Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge
Asking you so as not to leave you out ;-)
Hi there. I've started a new initiative, the Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. It's a long term goal to bring about 10,000 article improvements to the UK and Ireland. Through two contests involving just six or seven weeks of editing so far we've produced over 1500 improvements. Long term if we have more people chipping it and adding articles they've edited independently as well from all areas of the UK then reaching that target is all possible. I think it would be an amazing achievement to see 10,000 article improvements by editors chipping in. If you support this and think you might want to contribute towards this long term please sign up in the Contributors section. No obligations, just post work on anything you feel like whenever you want, though try to avoid basic stubs if possible as we're trying to reduce the overall stub count and improve general comprehension and quality. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Dr. Blofeld: I'll continue the work on Richard Burton whenever I can.

- @Dr. Blofeld: Caught up with Teacher's Pet and The Rose Tattoo (finally!). The former is a darling (Gable looks a tad frail while Day, glistening as ever! Gig Young is a wildcard, especially in the last half-an-hour. Why didn't he get more chances?) while the latter is an extraordinary work from Tennessee Williams. Magnani deserves the awards she got for this egg! Lancaster's great too!
Brilliant films aren't they! I took for granted you'd seen them! Yeah Gig is hilarious. Always looks plastered in every film though. He likely really was!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:13, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Dr. Blofeld: "I gave the waiter 5 bucks to spike your drink." "Now I understand. I only gave 2 bucks to spike yours!" Priceless. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 14:17, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Can you delink my user name in the invites? Otherwise it'll jam again in my messages! Yes, try the Wp:Film members again, but the current support for active editing is low so I won't be running it until I have some people to do writing work!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:39, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
Chilling egg], well worth a watch, they should make into a feature film!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:56, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Dr. Blofeld: Damn! They should have.

Mouna Ragam
I believe this and this can be put to great use in Mouna Ragam, which recently turned 30. Can you see what can be added? Kailash29792 (talk) 09:53, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Ssven2: Both are just reviews praising the film. Nothing new really. Maybe can be added in the "Critical reception" section if need be. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 01:18, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Alibabavum 40 Thirudargalum (1956 film)
I now intend to take this to GA if the number of references is increased, also if the reception and "popular culture" sections are further expanded. Could you help find additional reviews? I also think this may come in handy. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:07, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Kailash29792: Danny's book is ok for GA level. It should suffice for now, if you are thinking of substituting Danny's book with other references (It would be great if you could). I'll see if I can add anything from the Daily Thanthi Source.
— Ssven2 Speak 2 me 05:15, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- I don't think I'll take the article to FA anytime soon, so it seems Danny's book gets to stay (besides, how could Vensatry conclude that Best is a mirror book, despite not having read it?) I mean, there are certain chapters that partially lift from us like Parasakthi and Meera, but is a little plagiarism is enough to taint the whole book, like a drop of poison? The Thanthi source also seems to mention that Alibaba isn't the first colour Tamil film. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:28, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- You cant blame Vensatry for that. When Mullum Malarum was a FAC, he pointed the WP:MIRROR issue because the standard you aimed for was the best or optimum, neither good nor great. Those books can be used for GAs, destubbing articles, posters, taking opinions on genres etc. Coming to your poison quote, please remember that small causes can have large effects. Master Evil wishes to see a successful GA attempt of yours. Yours truly, Pavanjandhyala (talk) 05:45, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Kailash29792: Daily Thanthi is actually referring to Aan (1952), a Hindi epic film which was dubbed into Tamil under the same title. "Aan" means "Pride" (Same as the word "Garv") (the Thanthi source also mentions it ("'ஆன்' என்றால் 'கவுரவம்' என்று அர்த்தம்.")). So, Alibabavum is the first one for Tamil cinema (first Tamil film in colour). The Thanthi source seems to provide wrong information. Try to see if any other source supports the Daily Thanthi one. Remember, we can't fill up what every Tom, Dick and Harry says about a film JLT.

- Isn't it absurd how Alibaba is referred to by most sources as a fantasy film, despite lacking supernatural elements? I first thought the cave opening itself in response to a command was irrational, but then I realised there were imprisoned men opening it when they heard the command.
