Portal:Bollywood/Selected picture/3 - Is this a film still or a screenshot? If the latter, the original may be credited to Dadasaheb Phalke.

Done

Portal:Bollywood/Selected picture/6 - Who are they? Also, I'm not quite comfortable with the image. It was uploaded without any EXIF data, at web resolution, by an editor with few contributions, so it may be a copyvio.

Done

Not as good as the others. Do you have another image?

Replaced with the Aamir Khan's.

Portal:Bollywood/Selected picture/10 - What's her relation to Bollywood? Not clear from the text

Done

Sheila Ki Jawani is a song, so it should be in quotes and not italics.

Done

Filmfare Best Director Award - the article title looks better and should be used

Done

Ranveer Singh hook - drop the comma

Done

Krissh series is a redirect to Krrish (film series)

Done

That's a lot of actresses. Any more guys?

Done

These people are mostly still active. Any more historical actors or actresses?

Unfortunately not possible. No such FAs or GAs exist :(

Ravi Shankar was a good add. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:28, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Her portrayal of a sex worker in Chameli (2004) proved to be the turning point in her career. - How?

The para is supposed to be a summary of whole article, and a complete paragraph within the article is dedicated to this.

Yeah, but it's begging the question. Just a sentence. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:28, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article: FN12 (Chatterjee, Gulzar & Nihalani 2003) does not go anywhere

File:SatyajitRay.jpg - Nominated for deletion

Yeah, I did.

Perhaps replace it with the one that isn't nominated for deletion? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:28, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced, although bot will replace it globally.

Seems a bit lengthy.

Lengthy? but it's less that 200 words. Or you are talking about image?

Just my impression from the code. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:28, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Before his breakthrough role as a romantic actor in 2000, he was married to Sarita Birje and has a young son. - Is he still married to her? What's with the past tense?

Corrected, just copied it from the article.

Replaced, and posted a request to remove the watermark.

I copyedited, be sure to check.

Portal:Bollywood/Selected picture/4 - The image has a lot of empty space and the subject is not quite in focus. Perhaps a crop or another picture would work better.

Done

Still not particularly good. Perhaps another image? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:33, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All images: Remember, captions which are not full sentences should not have a period at the end. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:51, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

File:Amithab bachan.jpg - Not sure on whether this is free or not. No EXIF data, web resolution. His article has another image you could use.

Done

File:Vyjayanthibahar.jpg - Needs a US PD-tag

Which one? — Bill william compton^Talk 12:20, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the template under the PD-India one, it looks like this may have fallen afoul of the URAA... which sucks, honestly. Might have to look for another lead hook. File:Nargis in Awaara film.jpg falls under the same issues. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:31, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done

That's it for DYK. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:58, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Selected biographies

Lot of the prose seems listy... might have some grief about that.
That's it for SB — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:13, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Featured content - Suggest retitling "recognised content", as most are GAs. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:14, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Crisco, since the subject is new to me as well, I may take a little more time to fulfil the requirements. Also, would you please strike out the resolved comments because it's getting difficult to track with unresolved ones. — Bill william compton^Talk 06:09, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What's happening with Portal:Bollywood/DYK/7? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:02, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's in prep area. I'm waiting for any lead hook. It won't appear as DYK max is still at 6. — Bill william compton^Talk 03:59, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:56, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

After solving the problem, the three friends go to locations in the country where each friend chooses a sport for the group to attempt. - What country?

"They set off to Spain on a bachelor trip and meet Laila, who falls in love with Arjun and helps him overcome his problem of workaholism. Kabir and his fiancée experience significant misunderstanding. After solving the problem, the three friends go to locations in the country where each friend chooses a sport for the group to attempt."

Does it need to be mentioned again?

File:Ayesha Takia Aug-8th-2006.jpg needs a date.

Source has no date, but the year of publication is 2006.

Article has way too much non free stuff. Reviews count too. Considering the prose issues (several single-sentence paragraphs) I may bring this to GAR if this isn't fixed.

Due to real life commitments I don't have any time to go through the whole article so I've replaced the blurb with another one. I hope it's fine. — Bill william compton^Talk 13:51, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Which table?

The table (or other white object) she has her hands on. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:19, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article: Numerous links that are redirects back to the same article. These appear to all be song titles.

Article: Too many non-free images. Those screenshots fail the contextual significance clause of the NFCC.

Probably the most widespread problem of most of the users from India. What do you suggest? — Bill william compton^Talk 13:51, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nuke (remove) em. They're mostly clear violations of NFCC #8. You guys are really lucky to have so much CC stuff to work with, no need to go overboard with non-free images. I'd kill (not literally... probably) to have three or four websites which host quality CC-SA-BY images of Indonesian actors, actresses, and musicians. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:50, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
