Kiel

Is this your hometown? I thought you were from Norway. Yashthepunisher (talk) 14:07, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

I am not from Norway. I was there for like two years. FrB.TG (talk) 14:37, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

The Red Woman

You seen the Game of Thrones Season 6 premiere? I saw it today in the morning. You would ask how did i watch when it is not simulcast in India. Well, Star India's HOTSTAR premium subscription is the key and i love it. I am so happy we Indians can watch wacth with the whole world (at least the devoted fans).Krish | Talk 16:53, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

No, actually I am only watching Breaking Bad these days (kind of late but whatever) and I'm lovin it so far. What about you, have you seen this series? If not, I suggest you do – it's a really fantastic crime drama filled with dark humor. FrB.TG (talk) 17:00, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Well, I haven't seen Breaking Bad yet, though I'm desperate to wacth. In fact, I had planned to watch the series sometime back in January but got so busy. You can't believe, I still haven't seen the second season of Daredevil, despite the recent availability of Netflix in India. Actually I'm wasting my Netflix subscription, I had seen only few films and sometimes Friends (I can see it 1000000 times). I think Breaking Bad is available on Netflix. Isn't it? What about you? Have you seen Friends Aor any of Game of Thrones seasons?Krish | Talk 17:50, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I am going to watch Friends after BB. FrB.TG (talk) 18:06, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Frankie, when you are really free, can you please leave your comments there? I opine that your suggestions would help me improve it. Regards, Pavanjandhyala (talk) 09:50, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

I don't have anything ongoing at the moment except an FAC and an FLC, so, I'll be along soon. FrB.TG (talk) 10:03, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

TFL notification

Hi, FrB.TG. I'm just posting to let you know that Katy Perry videography – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for May 30.

Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Title_TK/archive1

Hi FrB.TG. How are you? Thanks again very much for your recent peer reviewing of Title TK. I have now nominated it for FAC. If you happen to have any further comments, or support or opposition, please contribute to the FAC review. Thank you. Moisejp (talk) 02:07, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

FAC

Hey Frankie! I just re-nominated Kalki Koechlin's article for FAC, since you have been a part of the previous discussions I would appreciate your comments. Thank you! NumerounovedantTalk 13:13, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I will wait for other reviewers to comment. Best of luck. FrB.TG (talk) 14:42, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

No problem, Thank you! Good luck with your nomination of Emma Stone too, I do believe you need to rephrase a couple of sentences there, but its a really comprehensive article otherwise. :) NumerounovedantTalk 16:12, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, thanks. It's not something I am very enthusiastic about, though I'll be happy if it passes. I won't care much if it is archived. FrB.TG (talk) 19:18, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

I wish you luck! NumerounovedantTalk 20:02, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

DYK nomination of List of accolades received by Bajirao Mastani

Hello! Your submission of List of accolades received by Bajirao Mastani at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! BlueMoonset (talk) 02:20, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

I don't know what exactly are you asking me to do? I don't think the issue is resolvable. FrB.TG (talk) 05:30, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

If the issue isn't resolvable, then I guess the nomination will have to be closed. Basically, beyond the proper tagging for copying within Wikipedia, the article would need to be expanded further, and there would probably have to be a new hook. Also, there would need to be clarity on whether the six awards that hadn't been part of the original nominations were just directly awarded at the ceremony, or if they were announced after reading a new list of nominees. It sounds like this isn't something you're prepared to take on. (Note: please ping me when you respond here rather than on the nomination page, though it would be better if you responded there. Thanks.) BlueMoonset (talk) 16:14, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

I'd like to make the required changes, yet I don't think it can be further expanded, as everything is already there. FrB.TG (talk) 16:39, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Without further expansion of the intro, it can't qualify for DYK. I'm sorry, but if you don't think it can be expanded, I don't see any alternative but to close the nomination. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:24, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Why don't you change the hook? and BlueMoonset, the text is not copied. I had changed the text so i think its not a problem.Krish | Talk 15:59, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Krish!, I did take a look at the text, both before and after your most recent edits, and too much of the lead sections of both articles are the same or virtually so with the most minor of word variations. That counts as copying. By DYK rules, any copied text must be expanded 5x. I'm afraid this just doesn't qualify. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:46, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

That's okay BM. I nominated as I saw an interesting hook there, but if it does not qualify, you may close it as you please. FrB.TG (talk) 22:06, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, FrB.TG. I'm sorry it didn't work out. I've just marked the nomination for closure. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Academy Awards trophy image dispute

Sorry for not informing you initially but now the JPG version has been made obsolete by a PNG version. You better not add speedy deletion tag. If you want to contest this, then do discuss. Cheers! Umais Bin Sajjad (talk) 14:37, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

What does that even mean? Why would you upload a "PNG" version of an existing file, the exact copy of another file just to have your name on the file's uploader Ugh. FrB.TG (talk) 16:30, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Golden Kela Awards

The stupid Golden Kela Awards are defaming the winners. What is the necessity of mentioning it. The award is not mentioned in any other winners' articles either it is an actor or an actress or a film.PhysicsScientist (talk) 04:01, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

West Virginia barnstar

		The West Virginia Barnstar
		FrB.TG, I hereby award you The West Virginia Barnstar for your thoughtful review of Literary Hall which helped to promote the article to Featured Article status. Thank you for elevating an important West Virginia historic landmark article to Featured Article status, which will allow a larger audience to learn about West Virginia's history, its people, and its culture. -- West Virginian (talk) 18:05, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

FLC

Would you like to post your comments on Bajirao Mastani' accolades list, whi i have nominated for FLC. That would be helpful. Thanks.Krish | Talk 07:35, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Going to decline, but good luck. FrB.TG (talk) 20:16, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

This was expected, since you are very busy. It's okay.Krish | Talk 04:49, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

It's not because I'm busy. It's because of your past behavior with me on your nominations. FrB.TG (talk) 05:27, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Krish! Which Friends character do you like the most? You were talking about the show the other day. FrB.TG (talk) 20:58, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

I really like all of them. But If you would force me to choose then i would have to say Phoebe Buffay. She is eccentric but a very strong character. Thanks to Lisa Kudrow's Outstanding performance, it has since emerged as one of greatest TV characters. When Phoebe is on the screen, you can't help but laugh out loud. She actually wrote a song called Pervert Parade (though it was only mentioned). Can you imagine? Have you started watching the series?Krish | Talk 16:12, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, Pheobe is also my favorite among them alongside Chandler. I really like the latter's sense of humor, romance with "Oh .. my .. God" Janice, "could that be more..." quote and bromance with Joey. FrB.TG (talk) 16:46, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

I think Joey is the most dumb character on the show. He got worse as the show progressed. But Ross is the worst character on Friends. I liked him in the first few seasons where he was caring and we all wanted him to be with the love of his life. But once he start poking his nose in Rachael's work, getting possessive, saying "I feel like I doesn't even have a girlfriend anymore", It went downhill for me, and sure for others as well. He went from the most educated of that group to the most educated fool of the group. How many seasons you have seen already?Krish | Talk 12:55, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm watching season 6 right now. FrB.TG (talk) 14:31, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Frankie, wait till you meet Mike (Paul Rudd), his relationship with Phoebe takes the show to another level. (Also, Chandler and Phoebe are my favourites too!) NumerounovedantTalk 16:46, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

I really look forward to seeing his romance with Phoebe. I liked him in Clueless, 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up. FrB.TG (talk) 19:44, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I liked him in I Love You Man too, but his stint as Mike in Friends is still my favorite! NumerounovedantTalk 11:12, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

FAC reviews

I have started commenting at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Emma Stone/archive1. I could use some commentary at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Emily Ratajkowski/archive5.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:46, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Sure, I would love that. FrB.TG (talk) 17:58, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

This is a very odd response. Are you saying you will comment there?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:11, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I will if I find some time. FrB.TG (talk) 06:53, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

How about you find some time for my review before I keep devoting mine to yours.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:13, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

I will comment there. See if you can revisit mine. FrB.TG (talk) 16:49, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Emma Stone Critics Choice Award?

Since I'm working on few American award list. I came across Stone's page. However, I didn't find her three the Critics Choice nominations including her wins for The Help and Birdman. Was it on purpose or you forgot to add? Krish | Talk 20:04, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

It's there; see List of awards and nominations received by Emma Stone#Critics associations, the Broadcast Film Critics Association. FrB.TG (talk) 20:33, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Now I can see but Isn't that a major Hollywood Award? So what is that doing in "association" table? Since its called Critics Choice Awards.Krish | Talk 20:48, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

I guess you are right. BTW I just worked on this list. What do you think of it? FrB.TG (talk) 20:53, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

It's cool. I love this film....and the list is a good one. Is Village Voice Film Poll necessary to be in the awards list? I removed it completely since its a poll. What do you think? Krish | Talk 21:02, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Emma Stone FAC

Hi -- I saw your withdrawal and the comment you left, and thought I would drop you a note. I agree, FAC isn't for everyone, but sometimes the answer is that two or more people working together are needed to get an article up to the highest standard. Prose in particular is difficult because there's no objective metric you can look at ahead of time. You can check that everything is sourced, and you can make sure all your sources are reliable, but a prose oppose always comes as a surprise. Anyway, if you do decide to come back to FAC, best of luck with it. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:38, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the wish! I'm terrible at writing in English with it not having any far relation with me so I do not intend to come back at least not for the time being. Cheers, FrB.TG (talk) 18:32, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Query

Hey Frankie, firstly I am sorry that Stone's FAC didn't work out. I am sure you'll get back to it when in a better place. I was wondering if you knew whether or not the source review you did for Koechlin's article at the previous FAC will stand? Do I need to get another more recent one? I just wanted to be sure so I could put up a request for it in time. Thanks. NumerounovedantTalk 05:16, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Vedant! Don't worry about Stone. I think it's fine the way it is, though with 10 supports, it had high chances of promotion. Anyway someone has to conduct a new source review as the article has changed significantly since the last review. One can be requested at the top of WT:FAC; I'll do myself if someone else doesn't. Btw would you mind reviewing one of my FLCs? FrB.TG (talk) 10:38, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the help, and I am sure there is much more to articles that just a little bronze star. And yes, sure I would love to help with the FLCs. I'll take a look soon, do you have something specific on mind? NumerounovedantTalk 12:20, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Yup, I just started this. FrB.TG (talk) 12:53, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Amazing film! I just did a source review for another FLC and honestly it's exhausting, so, I will begin with the lead and see if I feel up for the source review. NumerounovedantTalk 13:46, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Precious

Indian actresses

Thank you for quality articles on Indian film such as Sonam Kapoor, for lists such as Kareena Kapoor filmography and Awards and nominations received by Vidya Balan, for GA reviewing and encouraging, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Great to see an actress on her birthday! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:18, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Cheers Gerda! I always found "Precious" very intriguing. Feels good to be one myself. FrB.TG (talk) 12:59, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Sia

You like her music?Krish | Talk 16:42, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Sure. Her "Cheap Thrills" single is just amazing. FrB.TG (talk) 17:36, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Shut up!! I am addicted to "Cheap Thrills" and I discovered it today and It's on the loop. How can someone make such an amazing song, composition and damn! the video is amazing too. I can't stop listening. It's a shame that I discovered the song after so many days of its release. Previously, I had loved her songs "Titanium", "Chandelier", and "Elastic Heart". And, I think the "Chandelier" (song and video) is one of the best of all time. It should have won all the four Grammy Awards it was nominated for.Krish | Talk 18:22, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. Besides singing, she has also written songs some amazing songs for other artists e.g. Rihanna's "Diamonds". BTW if you a Timberlake fan, check out his new single "Can't Stop the Feeling!" FrB.TG (talk) 18:28, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, "Diamonds" is such an amazing song, I was addicted to it after its release in 2012. She also wrote Britney Spear's "Perfume", a soothing ballad and I've heard she has also written for many artists like Adele, Beyonce, Katy Perry and others. And ,Yes, I have heard "Can't Stop the Feeling!" and even saw its video and liked it. Isn't it no. 1 already?Krish | Talk 18:51, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, it debuted at no. 1 in the United States. Too bad it was replaced by "One Dance" (which BTW has sick beats) this week. FrB.TG (talk) 18:52, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Hey! I'm wondering if you are also hooked to "One Dance"? Because I am! The beats are insanely addictive and I can't keep myself away from the speakers.Krish | Talk 17:48, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

@Krish!: Yes I love the song too and as I stated above, it has such sick beats. FrB.TG (talk) 12:59, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

I also love "Can't Stop the Feeling!" and I can't stop listening to both the songs.Krish | Talk 13:39, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

	Came to know today that your FLC List of accolades received by Spotlight (film) was promoted two days ago., Hearty congratulations! :) Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:58, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, Pavan! Means a lot to me. FrB.TG (talk) 17:01, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Emma Stone's FAC being archived has probably left you demotivated. Am i right? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:05, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Not demotivated, but have no plans of retrying. :) FrB.TG (talk) 17:06, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

If people like you with more than 25 featured content credits say things like these, what about someone like me who has to complete two featured content nominations this year? After Eega, i have Tamannaah filmography and Missamma on board for featured status. Well, are you avoiding Stone or the FAC process completely? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:08, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

That nomination had eight supports in less than a week, followed by an oppose, a support, another oppose, a support and so on. It's an uphill task to keep everyone pleased in FAC. Don't know how users do that. FrB.TG (talk) 17:12, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Strange indeed. The unpredictability of the reviewers is something which makes me call FAC a graveyard (Bollyjeff said at Mayabazar's PR that due to improper prose, the article would be "killed" at FAC. That made me use this particular term). For now, i am able to manage Eega. I am unsure what happens. BTW, did you watch the film? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:16, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

You know I have been trying to watch it for weeks but haven't really got to it. Tomorrow is Sunday, so I can sit, watch it and share my views later. FrB.TG (talk) 17:18, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Do share your experiences after finishing the viewing; that would keep me interested in the film until the FAC ends. And, one small advice. Don't curse the fields just because a "stone" hurts your feet. :P Brush it aside and continue to walk in the fields, even if it is a graveyard i refer to. :) Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:23, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Will do. For someone like me with history of many failed nominations, I am definitely not disappointed by the FAC process, just that I think it is beyond my capability. See you around. FrB.TG (talk) 17:26, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Nothing is beyond, everything is just within. As Einstein says (and inspires me for Eega) "Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere". I too hope to meet you again soon. Hope you enjoy the weekend. :) Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:29, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps I'll retry sometime later. Thanks for your encouraging words and I'm sure Eega will pass its FAC. FrB.TG (talk) 18:01, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

@Krimuk90: I see that you're a fan of breaking bad. I also love the show and consider it one of the best of all time. I've never seen such a complex character as Walter White's. Anyway, there is a stand-alone show on its character Saul Goodman, the lawyer. The show is called Better Call Saul if you're interested. FrB.TG (talk) 15:31, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Congrats. Though I did not participate in FACs and was of no help, I must say that your efforts are well paid. Well done! I never liked her and will continue with that. ;-) - Vivvt (Talk) 18:01, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

I can't say that I am a very big fan of her either. After writing quite a few Bollywood lists, I wanted to write on a leading actress and all of the ones I wanted to write on were already FA and only she was left. Anyway, thanks a lot; it's good to see so many users congratulate me. :-) FrB.TG (talk) 19:31, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Hey Frank, hope you doing well. I would like you to consider the discussions here and here and help me figure out a way to reach a consensus as most Bollywood articles fall in the scope. Could you possibly help me contact the publishers? NumerounovedantTalk 17:03, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Gentleman (2016 film)

I've expanded this article 10x in the last 5 days. Do you find anything suitable for WP:DYK? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:29, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Looks ready for GA and a good copyedit to me, Pavan. You can nominate the article after 3-4 months. As for DYK, maybe, "Did you know... that Nani was cast in Gentleman after the film's director, Mohan Krishna Indreganti, was impressed with his performance in Yevade Subramaniam?  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 11:29, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

I was told that I don't stop with the lists, but look at you with your back-to-back expansions of films. :-) As for the DYK, I would also suggest one: ... that he (you-know-who) intended to dedicate the second half of the romantic thriller Gentleman to director Alfred Hitchcock as a tribute? FrB.TG (talk) 18:27, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Hitchcock will get a good response from the public, i guess. If you want to know about my so called expansions, please refer this page. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 01:11, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Done with the nomination., But, by using Earwig's copy-vio detector, i find a >70% possibility in the case of Gentleman (2016 film) because a media house has copied the lead word by word for an interview published on 11 June 2016 in YouTube. Strange that they didn't bother to alter the end. :) Pavanjandhyala (talk) 02:08, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Some ramblings

How are things with you, Frankie? Is everything good? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:23, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Aside from a minor incident with my mouth, I'm perfectly fine. How're you holding up? FrB.TG (talk) 16:50, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Dealing with a very strong personal loss, more than the one in last September. That did force me to withdraw Eega's FAC, which Kailash considers my first failure. I'm trying to be as normal as possible, and am successful to an extent. Did you watch the film? Just curious. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 02:53, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

I can understand how painful losing someone close can be but time heals every wound. And yes, I did watch the film. As I thought, the film is innovative in terms of story and fantastic in terms of performances. Sudeep takes the cake with his villainous role and Nani delivers a humorous performance with his brief role. A worth-watching revenge drama, a (sub)genre I have a thing for. FrB.TG (talk) 11:13, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Eega was surely a crazy film. A fly using needles as weapons, using bulb filaments and magnetic tapes for workouts, savouring cappucino, ... certainly extraordinary. Glad you loved it. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 13:23, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Please review Taylor Swift

You modified the name of Ms. Swift's childhood theater group from

 Berks Youth Theatre Academy

to

 Berks Youth Theater Academy

A Google search lists the business and also a New York Daily News article on Ms. Swift.

Both use the "Theatre" spelling.

The Taylor Swift page is currently locked after vandalism, so would you make the change when changes are allowed again?

Golden Kela Awards

The awards are defaming and insulting the winners (losers in their view). I request you to remove the informantion regarding the awards in the article Sonam Kapoor.PhysicsScientist (talk) 00:03, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

If actresses like Sandra Bullock can graciously accept the "dishonor", it's high time we include this. FrB.TG (talk) 05:23, 29 July 2016 (UTC) FrB.TG

Of course. But the awards are not included in any cast's or crew's or films' articles.PhysicsScientist (talk) 10:05, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

It's included in a few articles, but we can begin doing so in other articles too. FrB.TG (talk) 10:33, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Taylor Swift

I admire you for undertaking this hugely bloated article. I have something like what I did with the Gaga article in mind. Taylor Swift and Fearles in one section. Speak Now and Red in next section. And 1989 to be the current section. Then start pruning it considerably. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 13:20, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

See Swift's talk page. FrB.TG (talk) 13:58, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

FRB, do you think we can split up the sections among ourselves and then work on it? It would be faster. I can work on the Fearless section since I am working on cleaning up the album article also. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 09:37, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Of course. I'd be glad if you do it; it would also reduce the load from me. FrB.TG (talk) 09:38, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

@IndianBio: do you think you could help me with the Artistry section? I have no knowledge on that whatsoever. FrB.TG (talk) 10:01, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Sure, I just bulldozed the Fearless section, will tackle the Career beginnings and Taylor Swift. And then once the main bio is done we will move to artistry. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 10:03, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

I pity the fact that you have to cut so much from her article (there are still close to 500 refs), in contrast to me, who would expand my articles to any length before preparing them for GA or FA. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:24, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Kailash, it's way too lengthy and bloated for a BLP. With that being said, I have also expanded it at places, where some important information were missing. FrB.TG (talk) 10:27, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

And Kailash, sometimes pruning down makes it more worthwhile and much more cleaner article than stuffing it with every sordid details (which this article is essentially). FrB, I completed the Career, Early beginning, and the Fearless sections. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 10:30, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Wow, you're really fast. FrB.TG (talk) 10:33, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Currently the readable prose size is at 46KB (7.2K words) reduced from 60KB (10.5k words). Good word and more to go I believe. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 13:13, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Brought the readable prose size down to 44 kB (7462 words). Now the only section that needs trimming is the songwriting section. FrB.TG (talk) 16:02, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Wonderful work on the article. I have one pet peeve. The infobox image is just god-awful. It looks like she is constipated and about to poo. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 11:57, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Haha I'm not a fan of it either - do you have a particular image in mind? FrB.TG (talk) 11:59, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

What do you think of a cropped version of File:Taylor Swift 079 (18118697450).jpg? —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 12:04, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Certainly better than the current one. FrB.TG (talk) 12:06, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

@IndianBio: How's it look? FrB.TG (talk) 13:10, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Not 100% satisfied, but definitely better than Miss constipation. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 13:14, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

IndianBio, do you think we should go for GA now? FrB.TG (talk) 16:54, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes I think we can. The article has drastically improved and I'm really proud of our work now. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 16:58, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Remember one time I mentioned that you can loan bios on actors and actresses from Open Library for free. You can re-loan those books after their loan is over. You can even use different accounts to get the same book as well. Its that accessible. How do you think I expanded Richard Burton?

Here are a load full of bios on Davis that you can loan for free from Open Library.

• Bette Davis: A Biography by Barbara Leaming
• Bette Davis by Jerry Vermilye
• Bette Davis by David Thomson
• Bette Davis by Alexander Walker
• This 'N That by Bette Davis
• The Lonely Life by Bette Davis

 — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 07:52, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

@Ssven2: Thanks for referring me to Open Library. I don't know about Davis, but I will see if I can find anything on Bradley Cooper, which is my current project. FrB.TG (talk) 09:21, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

No problem. Good luck with Coop. He is indeed a great talent, growing as an actor film after film. I don't think you'll find any bios on him in open library (at least not for the next 25 years. :-)). Open Library gives us bios on many of the leading classic hollywood and New Hollywood actors (Nicholson, Eastwood and Beatty are some of them).  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:29, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured that. Besides, I don't think I will need to find anything either as I have pretty much covered everything about his career. As a participant or supporter, do you have plans to work on anything? FrB.TG (talk) 09:33, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Online references are quite enough to cover the contemporary guys (especially interviews and informations from newspapers, leading magazines and websites). Me, I plan to take Richard Burton, Montgomery Clift, Marlene Dietrich, Robert Mitchum, Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardner to GA status or make them better (core article improvement) at least.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:39, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Well, that is an awful lot of articles. All the very best. FrB.TG (talk) 09:42, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. The main ones are Burton, Clift, Mitchum and Hayworth. Dietrich has a ton of bios and I'll have to go through them all (the best ones at least, but almost all are well received critically and are bestsellers). I'll start with Burton and Clift in tandem when the contest takes off. Clift is to method acting as much as Burton is to classical acting. Clift's article on Wikipedia just doesn't do the actor any justice at all. Look at it. Hardly any detail (if one could even call it that) about him. Unsourced here and there. Hayworth is just pics more than detail.  — Ssven2 ^{Speak 2 me} 09:47, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Bradley Cooper FT?

Hi there,

So I just noticed that you have been putting a lot of time into Cooper's page (I knew I should have watchlisted that page months ago). Anyway, I'm assuming your goal is to bring it up to GA status. With Cooper's award page at FL, and his filmography page somewhat close (it has all of the refs, just need to flesh out the lead), I think that a Cooper Featured Topic could be possible. I've been meaning to bring his filmography page up to FL for a while now, and I wouldn't mind looking over his main page in more detail later. Famous Hobo (talk) 20:33, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

I wanted to ask you myself if you'd be interested in submitting his filmography for FL. His biography is about 80% complete and I'll go for GA (or even FA later) once it's fully complete. You are most welcome to take a look at his biography. FrB.TG (talk) 21:01, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Cheers Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:16, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I figured - take all the time you need. – FrB.TG (talk) 20:34, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Taylor Swift videography, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CMT. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello!

Hey! Thanks for performing a source review on my FLC today; it was very much appreciated! I see you're really good at bringing articles and lists to "featured status"! If you wouldn't mind and had some free time, could you perhaps check out this featured article candidate for me and perhaps leave some comments? I hope this doesn't come across as me forcing you to do something, because I'm definitely not! This is strictly if you are interested and had some free time! Thank you very much. Regards, Carbrera (talk) 03:03, 9 September 2016 (UTC).

Hi Carbrera. Thanks for the kind words. I'll try to stop by when I can to review the article or otherwise conduct a source review (after all it's Stefani - she taught us how to spell bananas ;)). I myself have the FLC for Taylor Swift videography should you want to leave some comments. – FrB.TG (talk) 05:07, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Ms Lawrence

Also pinging SNUGGUMS. I've been so busy lately that after expanding most of her article, the "media" section still remains underdeveloped. I was wondering if you guys could help me get started with that section, and I'll join you guys shortly, and then we could finally get it nominated for GA. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 07:37, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Sure, but let me see if I could find further references, which I am not very good at. FrB.TG (talk) 08:14, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! We just need some prominent newspaper and magazine sources that talk about her personality and craft. A couple of paragraphs should be sufficient. Krimuk|90 (talk) 08:46, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

It might take some work to improve that, but definitely isn't beyond repair. Snuggums (talk / edits) 14:29, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Regarding the Bradley Cooper bit on diplomacy

Hi, Regarding the diplomacy bit on the Bradley Cooper page (Early life - studies in Georgetown)...

Actually I added that based on what (his then teacher at the Actors Studio) James Lipton said in an interview (where he recounts - and subsequently shows - Bradley, as a student, asking a question from Robert de Niro, and Bradley and Robert meeting a few years later on the same stage. The video is posted on you tube - you should get it if you look for the search words "James Lipton - interview - best moments" (You Tube is not available where I currently am, hence I am not able to send you the link). Do watch it and do reconsider adding that back. Thanks - Notthebestusername (talk) 05:11, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

@Notthebestusername: Thanks for informing me. I've added that back with the YouTube source you told me about. Cheers – FrB.TG (talk) 17:21, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Eega/archive2

Open since the first of September, this FAC has got one tentative support recently. If interested, please do a review/source review depending on your mood and free time. All constructive comments are welcomed. Regards, Pavanjandhyala (talk) 04:39, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Sure, soon enough. FrB.TG (talk) 13:01, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Any further comments? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:15, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Not sure if my comments were/will be of great help to you but I will post some more at the soonest. - FrB.TG (talk) 17:24, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

All constructive comments are welcome. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 01:57, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for bothering you, Frankie. Would you mind revisiting the candidate? It is open since a month and hardly has any progress which is worrying me. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 04:44, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

FLC delegate proposal

The other potential nominee declined, so I've gone ahead and nominated you as an FLC delegate here. In the same format as I was nominated in April 2015, the RfC will run for 10 days, and barring serious objections we'll get you set up after that! --PresN 18:28, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

Hey

Hi FrB.TG. Sorry I didn't get very far in the Taylor Swift peer review. Real life has been quite busy. I'm actually going to take a little wiki-break, probably just a few weeks or so. Anyway, back to TS, if you end up nominating for FAC, I'm sure you'll do well, and will get lots of reviews and support. If it turns out you are short on reviews, do ping me. I haven't had a chance to read everybody's latest edits, but when I looked at it before, I thought it was well written, and I'm pretty sure any issues I might find would be minor. Best of luck in any case, assuming you do take it to FAC. Cheers, and talk to you later! Moisejp (talk) 05:28, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Moisejp! Thanks for your message and don't worry about the FAC and enjoy your wiki-break. I am sure it will have enough reviewers considering how popular Ms Swift is. – FrB.TG (talk) 05:39, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

@Moisejp: It turns out I am short on reviews - very surprised that a few reviewers took an interest in reviewing the nomination of such a popular figure. Here is the link should you still wish to review or conduct a source review. – FrB.TG (talk) 07:53, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

• Hi FrB.TG, how are you? I hope all is well. I have jumped in and done a review. I see Gerda Arendt also did a review for you, that's good. I notice you have the article signed up to request a source review. Hopefully it won't take a long to get one. When I requested one for my article, it didn't take that long. Good luck with the rest of the nomination process (I'm sure you'll do fine), and talk to you later! Moisejp (talk) 06:19, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you and it's very kind of you to help me with my nominations - I really appreciate it. – FrB.TG (talk) 07:27, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Featured article candidate: Unlocked (Alexandra Stan album)

Hi there! My mean is not to bother you, but I was wondering if you could find time to comment on my FAC above and even support or oppose to it. Best regards, Cartoon network freak (talk) 11:56, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Na klar! :-) Also I will appreciate it if you could take a look at this. – FrB.TG (talk) 14:14, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Feature list help

Hello FrB.TG, I have nominated List of Game of Thrones episodes (Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Game of Thrones episodes/archive1) for a feature list and it needs a source review. If you have time, could you review it or something? - AffeL (talk) 13:34, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

I will if you provide some comments here I'm feeling like a complete idiot, inviting basically everyone to my noms who messages me. - FrB.TG (talk) 15:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

List of awards and nominations received by Rihanna

I'm willing to help you edit this list. Just saw your post (dated 25 June 2016) on its talk page. Still interested to fix it? Mat 1997 (talk) 07:32, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, but I'm currently on a break from the featured area - both writing and reviewing. You can do the work as much as you can. I'm sure you won't face much difficulty nominating it for FL. Should you ever need any help with anything, feel free to ask me. – FrB.TG (talk) 07:48, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

List of awards and nominations received by Kelly Clarkson FLC

Hello FrankBoy, I've just nominated the List of awards and nominations received by Kelly Clarkson to FL status. I hope you can review it and post your comments in the discussion page if you're available. Thanks! Chihciboy (talk) 20:38, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm currently trying to stay away from FLC, but good luck with your nomination. – FrB.TG (talk) 20:52, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

TFA

Hey FrB.TG, can you take a look at Baron Munchausen's blurb and declare whether you support its appearance as TFA? Appreciate your time.--Retrohead (talk) 20:09, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

If I support it, some might consider it canvassing, I'm afraid, but it looks good. - FrB.TG (talk) 11:09, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Bradley Cooper

Hello:

The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Bradley Cooper has been completed.

There appears to be a problem with this sentence (I’ve also provided the citation which was a dead link – I found an archived copy which I added to the original citation):

“After graduating from Germantown Academy in 1993, Cooper met Apoorva Walimbe who suggested he attended Villanova University, his father's alma mater, for a year before transferring to Georgetown.”

I have not heard of Walimbe and checked the citation. Nowhere in the interview that I can see is she mentioned. Unless there is another citation to be found, this sentence will need to be deleted from the article.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 22:00, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

References

Hi TT, thanks for the c/e - much appreciated. I'll take a look at it at the soonest. Cheers – FrB.TG (talk) 07:25, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist: You're right. I checked the citation and googled the name "Apoorva Walimbe" but did not find anything. I have thus deleted that information from the article. Thank you for spotting an error that could have been there for God knows how long. – FrB.TG (talk) 13:30, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
