Portal:India/Selected article candidates/Satyajit Ray

Satyajit Ray

Satyajit Ray is being nominated as the article has reached a more or less comprehensive stage. The section unfilmed needs some proper sourcing. Otherwise, the article seems fine. There are some red links, that can be worked upon. Please point out NPoV languages. There is no biographical article from the Indian film-world in the Portal:India/Selected articles. And who else other than Satyajit Ray deserves to be the first one? :).Thanks.--Dwaipayanc 12:47, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

If some work can be done on Personal awards section to make it in tabular form, it will look a nice article. It requires an image which can be considered under either public domain or GFDL license. Shyam ^(T/C) 16:09, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Please see this. Thanks.--Dwaipayanc 19:49, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Still it does not meet the criteria. Appericiable work is done but still need some more work to clean up. Shyam ^(T/C) 10:50, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Could you please point out specific portions that need great deal of work? --Dwaipayanc 06:29, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Nice work, still Literary adaptations section should be well written. It is not understood to me Filmography section also has main article which does look copy-pasted of the section to some extent. Article has all images which are for fair use. Article is mess of red links in many sections. At least providing an image, which may be considered as GFDL, PD or CC license, would be appericiable.

Ok. We shall try to upgrade the literary adaptation section. The main article "Filmography of Satyajit Ray" includes his filmography as director, author, composer etc. (not complete yet!), while Satyajit Ray contains only the filmography as director ( including all filmographies will make the article unnecessarily long). Obviously the article Filmography of Satyajit Ray would partially seem like a copy-pasted section of Satyajit Ray, as the filmography as director is the same!

Regarding red links, yes there are some. I will try to make some of them blue. However, as it may not be possible to turn every red link to blue, we might have to consider de-linking some (like those on the awards section), if we conclude that retaining 3 or 4 red links is a major negative point in the way of becoming an Indian selected article. I shall look for a GFDL, PD or CC image. Thanks. --Dwaipayanc 13:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

In my opinion, some red links will do in the article, it should not be a big issue. But mess of red links does not suit for being a selected article for portal. After doing some work on some sections which really need some more work I will applaud your work. Thanks Shyam ^(T/C) 13:32, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
