Followed-up at Teahouse. I think I found it.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:49, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
See two responses - one for emailing to the Mission journals, the other about the DYK for the new movie. -- Presearch (talk) 23:52, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Thank you so much Tito, for having given me your Argumentative Wikipedian barnstar, I very much appreciate this recognition. By the way, your name is familiar to me, as Dutta is the name of a friend of mine and colleague in the same group , we sometimes played chess in the evening, but he won more often than I...
Kind regards, Gerhardvalentin (talk) 16:30, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
I created an article for Gurudas Banerjee, who seems to have played Ramakrishna more often than anyone else. It still has loose ends that need tying up, but perhaps it's not too early to submit to Did You Know. It would not pass DYK until it's cleaned up, but that doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't be nominated (and it could still be worked on while waiting for review). What do you think? If you think it's not too early, feel free to go ahead and nominate (perhaps a fact for a hook would be what's below the photo, which could conceivably itself be included...). Thanks, and congrats on all your good work at The Light:.... -- Presearch (talk) 10:18, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
I responded! -- Presearch (talk) 10:51, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
The YouTube video link is here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8A2769AA06AB62FE and I'm wondering if that's the same as the 1982 film listed in the Gurudas Banerjee film table: Shri Shri Ramakrishna Kathamrita. They do show a lot of credits (in Bengali) in the first minute or two. Perhaps with luck that will help us figure out the identity of this video - whether it's the 1982 film, or something else in our table, or something else entirely new that we should add. The database links for the 1982 film are: CITWF Gomolo IMDB Thanks! -- Presearch (talk) 11:23, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

The WikiProject Film Award | |
I, Presearch (talk), hereby award Titodutta the WikiProject Film Award for his/her valued contributions to WikiProject Film. For your dedication to covering film, and for so rapidly writing a high quality article on The Light: Swami Vivekananda

1. I presume you saw my response a day or two ago with a draft email HERE for contacting Prabuddha Bharata, etc.? (no rush - just checking you didn't miss it)
2. I've now created a page to collect info about plays about Ramakrishna: User:Presearch/PaRK. I regard it as lower-priority than the films page. But if we encounter info, let's collect it there. If you have a list of such plays, by all means enter that info when you have time.... Thanks -- Presearch (talk) 02:47, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Dear Tito, please take another look at Gurudas Banerjee, and tell me if you think it is ready to be nominated for DYK. You can see that I have added material on the talk page that invites Bengali speakers to help clarify some of the ambiguities. But the article itself is much cleaner. No links in tables. There are a few places where the footnotes say "see talk page" -I wonder if this is OK for a DYK article, to acknowledge uncertainty like this? If not, I wonder what the best next step is. Also, There are 4 YouTube video links now in footnotes. I will remove them if you think it necessary (most of them are on talk page). But they are from the years 1950, 1958, 1964, 1979, and all but the last one are in black and white. Do you think a copyright from a movie from Bengal in 1950 would still be in force after more than 60 years? Does Wikipedia give us any guidelines about when movie copyrights can be regarded as having expired? Note: I am trying to get this page in shape soon for a DYK nomination since the deadline is getting closer. Thanks much! -- Presearch (talk) 09:35, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Well... what about:
... that Bengali actor Gurudas Banerjee was a "specialist" at portraying Sri Ramakrishna (pictured), a role he "almost monopolized" on both stage and screen?
(using the image: File:Ramakrishna.jpg) -- Presearch (talk) 15:55, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
The anonymous edit you "good-faith" reverted is factually correct. Whether belongs where it was inserted is another matter and I am semi-retired from Wikipedia, as you may see on my talki page and perhaps in the same spirit that you are trying to go on Wikibreak, so am not going to do more than this. You may reply here, there or not at all as you see fit, and thank you for caring about Wik' enough to have an "inform me" button on you signature! — Robert Greer (talk) 17:23, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
The article is not comprehensive yet, reception, criticism will need to be added before it reaches ga potential.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:29, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi Tito, thanks for doing the QPQ, and also thanks for the heads-up about SRK=Shahrukh Khan! Two Qs:
1. With regard to the QPQ, how would you recommend I record it as "for" me rather than you? Should I just link a DIFF for the message you left on my talk page?
2. With regard to Sri Ramakrishna's birthday as being Feb 18 versus Mar 13, which of these two dates do you think will be more widely observed in India? It seems that the Ramakrishna Mission (here and here) is celebrating it according to a Hindu lunar calendar on March 13 in 2013. But of course, according to the western Gregorian Calendar it is Feb 18, 2013, as noted here. Which do you think is likely to be more widely recognized in India among people who read Wikipedia?
Many thanks again! -- Presearch (talk) 20:17, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Rex Momo (talk) 17:27, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Bhaskarachandra has recently started an AfC on Ratha Kalpana (chariot metaphor used in both Katha Up. and the Gita). He has asked me, Vanischenu and others to help him with this. I think this article is DYK material. Few sentences in the background section appear like OR to me, but even without them the prose is close to 1500 characters. The article still needs to be reviewed (I can't do it because I've significant contributions in it) and then possibly submitted to DYK. Can you work with him on this? It might be encouraging for a new editor like him to see his article listed on the main page. Correct Knowledge«৳alk» 23:22, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Dear Tito, thanks again for doing that QPQ for me for Gurudas Banerjee. The reviewer did inquire about the QPQ, so I explained the details. When approving, the reviewer said "If Tito has consented for his review to be used as a QPQ here, then it's not an issue." Any chance you'd want to go to the template (HERE) and say "Yes, I consent"? Since Feb 18 is now so close, that might prevent delays when it is moved to the prep area of the queue. Thanks again for everything! Take good care -- Presearch (talk) 18:00, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tito, don't miss comment by DYK reviewer asking for better citation of hook fact. Best -- Presearch (talk) 02:09, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.
Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:
Other contributors of note include:
Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...
March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!
A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi Tito, please reacall (DIFF) that you were going to send out emails to editors of various Ramakrishna journals, such as Prabuddha Bharata, Udbodhan, and Vedanta Kesari, with regard to information about films on Ramakrishna. Did you ever hear anything back from them? Thanks -- Presearch (talk) 20:48, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, your nomination Template:Did you know nominations/Shabnam Shakeel, and your article, include the word "Presisent's", which is how it's spelled in the source. While "Presisent" could be a name or something, it certainly seems to me that it's most likely a typo for "President". Do you have another source which either verifies the current spelling, or shows what I believe to be the "correct" spelling? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:02, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, you have declined the creation of the article, Humza Arshad, based on one reference mentioning BBC and when you clicked on it you found another website, I am not sure which reference you are referring to. However as you have asked for links of 3 or 4 reliable web or news articles where the subject or his works have been discussed as the primary topic, here is all 14 of them; The Huffington Post, The Guardian, BBC News (July 2011), BBC News (August 2011), Mancunian Matters, South Wales Echo, Liverpool Echo, Asian Lite, The Asian Today, The Asian World, Desi Express, Ethnic Now, Desi Box, The Bradford Student. Also this article(s)[3][4][5] provides 5 paragraphs about the subject, (as WP:VRS requires one lengthy paragraph in order for it to be classed as significant coverage).
