Fixing Chak De! India
Hi Dwai! Hope all is going well with you. I just cleaned up Chak De! India which hasn't had a formal review since the GAN in 2009. I've put in a request for a copy edit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests#August_2015
I'm hoping to slowly over time build it to an FAC. I'm actually pretty busy at the moment - but when I saw the state the article was in, I just had a marathon clean up. It should take them about a month or two to get to the article so there is time to fix areas.
I fully deleted one section because every single link is out of date - which is Box Office. I know that film articles have to have a "box office" section to get through GAN and FAC's - I'm wondering if you would have time to help me with this section. I found one current link http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=intl&country=IN&id=chakdeindia.htm
And have pasted the text as it was before I removed it below. I'm actually going offline for a few days but I'll check in on the Weekend or next week. If you don't have the time to get through cleaning up this section - do you know anyone who will? And if you have other feedback that would be great - though no obligation to work on the article. As I said I am going to be coming and going anyway. Here is the old info:
(from infobox)
| budget = ₹240 million (US$2.9 million)[1]
| gross = ₹1.05 billion (US$13 million)[2]
Box office
Upon release, the film recorded a below average opening in India. This lower-than-expected occupancy level was an outcome of its limited release in various territories including West Bengal.[3] However, due to the strong critical response the film received, collections increased with the final outcome of over 80% occupancy for the weekend. Subsequently, Chak De! India was granted tax exemptions by the state of Bihar (which reduced tickets prices).[4] The film's box office collections increased and it eventually grossed ₹220 million (US$2.6 million) in its first week.[5] By the end of its theatrical run, Chak De! India became the third highest grossing film of 2007 in India, with revenues of ₹676.9 million (US$8.1 million) domestically.[6] Box Office India declared it a "Blockbuster."[6]
Chak De! India opened at number 20 in the US, number 11 in the UK, and number 12 in Australia.[7] It earned a total of ₹35 million (US$420,000) in the United Kingdom, ₹45 million (US$540,000) in North America, and ₹35 million (US$420,000) from the remaining overseas proceeds.[8]

Just FYI - I've brought it back to GA status (and had it copyedited) - at some point over this year, I'd like to bring the article to FAC. I see you are quite busy these days but if you ever have the time to work on it, let me know. I think it is an article worthy of FAC. Hope all is well. -Classicfilms (talk) 07:55, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

GA nominee
Hai, I have nominated the film article Loham for GA-status. Which is currently on "Hold on" time and there are some corrections to be done before it ends. Mainly copy editing for grammer and writting style. For making it a good article there are some suggestions referred in Talk:Loham. I invite you to make your contributions to it. --Charles Turing (talk) 13:41, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Removing PRODs
I know that there's no obligation for you to do this, but I'd like to ask that you try to find sourcing for articles if you dePROD them, at least with the articles that relate to Rajeshbieee, who was blocked as a sockpuppet of Gantlet. The problem here is that this user has created 914 articles, almost all of which have little to no sourcing that would be considered reliable. Many of them are sourced to places like eBay, which isn't reliable by any definition of the term. The problem with taking all of these films to AfD is that there are hundreds of them and this would put a large strain on AfD, which is usually overwhelmed to begin with. I've been looking using Google and the India WP's search engines and have found little to nothing to show that these films would fare any differently if they were brought to AfD. These articles were all created prior to the main account's block, so they don't fall under G5.
As someone who has a basic knowledge of Hindi and Bengali, you're in a position where you could look for sources I cannot. Can you perform a good faith search for sourcing in other languages if you're going to dePROD the articles? It's difficult for myself and the others (there's only about 3-4 of us tops) going through the 900+ pages to really backtrack given the large number of problematic articles. So far we've only gone through maybe a fifth of the articles and almost all of them lack sourcing to assert notability, so I'd appreciate any help you could give sourcing as opposed to simply dePRODing the articles and telling me to go through AfD. If the guy had only created a handful of articles this wouldn't be so bad, but this is potentially 400-500 articles that could be taken to AfD if we were to not go through PROD.

User:Smaj23 and his duplicate account User:Hindu lead are adding unsourced and POV content to the wiki. I have reverted them to the last correct version by you. Please keep a check on the wiki article. Thanks. HamarBangla (talk) 05:17, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
I believe that User: HamarBangla is using this page as a platform to show personal opinion or grudge, like ' long history of riot' which is not cited. Mention of other issues are never relevant. Need to rewrite the article. Will work on very soon. See those. And the other user is not at all a duplicate one, but the user is off course known to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smaj23 (talk • contribs) 07:05, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
This user has also deleted some relevant informations referenced by trusted news agencies. Those informations go against certain ideology but those are facts. Recent police report also clears it up that the situation is not at all a riot but a mafia clash with police. So need to rewrite the article in order to change the way of view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smaj23 (talk • contribs) 08:18, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

On kaliachak riot..Protests and violence section.. Info to be checked
Observed some edits in 2016 Kaliachak riots|Protests and violence and it is written that the gathering of people ranges from 30000 to 2.5lakh. The lower limit is supported by news reports but not the upper one, and the range seems unrealistic considering the lower range. Hence should be reviewed and perhaps deleted.Omg56 (talk) 15:02, 19 January 2016 (UTC) Omg56
