To Kill a Tiger

Please note that there are certain rules about how film articles must be written in Wikipedia:

1. We are not interested in exhaustively listing every individual screening a film ever received; after the premiere, the only further screenings we care about for the purposes of our article are ones that are special in some way, such as a special event screening, a television broadcast or a film festival where it won an award.
2. The awards table is not interested in "nominations" for film festival awards that the film didn't win; by definition, if a film festival presents awards at all then every film screened at that festival is automatically a "nominee" for all of the awards that are applicable to the program it's screening in, so a list of non-winning film festival award nominations would be effectively indistinguishable from the list of all screenings that I already told you we're not concerned about. Nominations only come into play when we're getting to things like the Canadian Screen Awards or the Oscars, which curate and announce a shortlist of finalists between the "all films considered" and "winner announced" phases of the process — for film festival awards, we only list wins, not "nominations", because the festival doesn't announce a whittled-down list of four or five finalists.
3. Even for awards that the film does win, we still only care about them if they can be shown to come from festivals that receive reliable source coverage in media, and not if they come from festivals that you have to source to the festival's own self-published website about itself because media coverage of the festival and its awards is nonexistent.
4. When it comes to reviews, we also don't list an exhaustive directory of offsite links to every review that a film receives; we can select short quotes from a couple of reviews and then use the reviews themselves as footnotes for the quotes that we've selected, but the article body is not allowed to contain offsite links to other websites at all — offsite links can be present only as footnotes, and not as running body text, so the review has to be used as footnoting for Wikipedia content, not just linked to in a list. And even then, we only care about reviews that come from professional film critics in established media outlets, not reviews that come from Blogspot bloggers.

Hi Bearcat,

Thanks for this feedback - I'm new to the Wikipedia scene. I've made a note and will do my best to adhere. There are a few more things I've been asked to adjust so if they are in violation please do let me know and I'll fix them.

Kindest regards,

Just a quick reminder, because i see that you subsequently added further awards: we're only interested in awards that can be sourced to media treating "film wins award" as news, and not in any award that you have to rely on the film festival's own self-published website about itself or IMDB as "sourcing". If media can't be shown to consider the award significant enough to report it as a news story, then by definition that award isn't notable enough to be reflected in our article at all. Fortunately, I was able to salvage all of the awards that you had referenced to bad primary sourcing by finding proper media sourcing, but if you want to add any further awards you need to either source them to third-party media coverage, or just not add them at all if you can't find third-party media coverage.
Also, please don't add "Amplify Voices Award for Best Canadian Film" as a second TIFF award under the Best Canadian Film award that was already there — that is the same award that was already there, so it's not two distinct awards. Bearcat (talk) 16:58, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Cyberwolf,

Thank you for letting me know and for disclosing this information. I am a colleague of Nisha Pahuja's. She has offered me a nominal fee to update her personal wikipedia page as there were many errors on it. I have done so and added citations and links to verify all that has been adjusted. I believe this is in compliance with the regulations, as is this tag below.
