GA review
Hai, I saw your GA review in Drishyam. Could you please review another article Loham. It was failed in a previous nomination and all the issues addressed in that has been resolved. It has undergone two peer reviews and is copy edited by a user from GOCE and a number of other experienced editors on my request, especially User:Atsme who is the major contibutor lately. --Charles Turing (talk) 13:24, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll be happy to take it. I should finish the review either tonight or tomorrow, it's that's OK. JAGUAR 13:27, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Feeling excited. Thank you very much. --Charles Turing (talk) 13:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Done. Corrected all the issues you addressed. :-) --Charles Turing (talk) 17:14, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Wishes
Happy Maha Shivaratri! | |
Wishing you, your family, and your dear ones a very happy Maha Shivaratri! Keep yourself very happy and joyful, away from sorrows and worries in this moment, something which Nataraja teaches!
PS: I don't know whether you are aware of this festival or not, but i'm sure you will be happy with this gesture of WikiLove. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:33, 7 March 2016 (UTC) |
I know that you are an atheist. I do respect your feelings. But, this is one of those rare moments where i can spread WikiLove with no regard to achievements. I will be happy if you accept this as a gesture of WikiLove. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:34, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you Pavan! I'm grateful that you thought of me, and I am actually familiar with Maha Shivaratri - I remember it from school several(!) years ago. Don't worry, I respect religion and am interested in the cultures they bring around the world. My whole family are Roman Catholic, me and my father are the only atheists, so I know how to feel out of place. JAGUAR 17:45, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- How you are aware of an Indian festival is something i could not understand. Anyways, i am happy for that. Well, did you watch Manam? How did you feel? Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:47, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- I haven't yet watched it, I've been very distracted with RL stuff over the past few days and consequently I'm finding less time for wikipedia, although I'll probably get back to full editing later this week. I promise to watch it by tomorrow at the latest! I studied the history of the US, the British Empire and India at school, and it was the only subject I thoroughly enjoyed and done well in, so I still remember some aspects of it both vividly and vaguely. JAGUAR 17:52, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- No worries. Do watch it with your family, it is a very refreshing film. Do prefer subs for the same. May i know what RL means? Baffle gab1978 was also speaking about something similar. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:55, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- "RL" is short for real life. And I promise to watch it by tomorrow night at the latest, I'm in a mood for something refreshing! JAGUAR 18:00, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Sukumar (director)
Would you like to review this for GA? Let me know if you are interested in doing so. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 10:33, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Sure thing, taken. JAGUAR 17:38, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking up the review despite a busy real life. Much appreciated! Hope everything is well. BTW, did you watch Manam? Just curious to know. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 00:11, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- I forgot to tell you that I finished watching it yesterday! It was so long that I had to watch it in three parts. It was very good, I enjoyed it! I was surprised that some lines were in English; I remember at the very beginning the parents wrote out "hi". The thing I found most impressive was the cinematography and storyline. Overall, brilliant! JAGUAR 11:57, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Glad you loved it. The best scenes for me were when the businessman sees his mother at the traffic signal, the old man happy watching his parents at the hospital during the intermission. Last but the best, the way these two couples unite in the pre climax at the businessman's birthday. Unfortunately, that old man died during the film's production and if you recognise him, he was Abhimanyu in Mayabazar. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:55, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Was that really him? I didn't realise! Yeah, those scenes were probably the best for me too. The actors were amazing. All Telugu and Tamil films I've watched so far have good atmospheres and life-like acting; I appreciate them more than commercial American films nowadays. JAGUAR 16:02, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- The old man was suffering with cancer during the film's principal photography. He died in January 2014, and only one song was left to be filmed. Two things notable: the expression you see in his face when the businessman and the doctor embrace in the pre climax i.e. this is the last scene he performed. Second, all the male protagonists are related to each other in real life. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 17:24, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- I didn't know they were all related! That's interesting. It sounds like he had a fitting end to his great career. JAGUAR 13:24, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- It was fitting indeed. But the journey was a painful one as well. This may interest you. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 13:34, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- How touching. He really loved acting and even did it in the final moments of his life, something that 99% of Hollywood actors wouldn't do as they would likely retire in their final years and live in hyped mansions in Beverly Hills. I have the utmost respect for him. JAGUAR 13:40, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Except for a song, everything related to his character was wrapped up. His condition turned serious and sensing that he would lose, he called up his son (his "father" in the film) to bring the dubbing equipment near his bed so that he would complete it, saying that he hates some other mimicry artist doing it for him when he left. It affected his voice very badly. Well, i am glad you liked it and i appreciate your efforts in watching it despite a busy real life. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 13:47, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- That really is something special, he deserves the highest honours in acting. I know that some people love genuine acting, and he was an excellent actor. From here on out I'm not so busy in real life any more, but it's just my internet which affects me now; it keeps dropping out every ten minutes and it forces me to make loads of small edits! JAGUAR 13:51, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Similar issues here. I am trying to add something to Mayabazar since the last 50 minutes, and i could do it only now. Hope your internet crashes do not affect your GA/FA plans and contributions. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 13:57, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- It's driving me crazy! My speed at best is 0.70 megabytes per second. It's bearable for editing Misplaced Pages pages but I can't do anything else. Sometimes I resort to tethering my computer to my phone and using mobile data, but I don't know if it costs anything... JAGUAR 14:03, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

GA status of Bangalore Days
Hi, the user Jo Bieson is blocked indefinitely. He was one of the socks of Sm Sangeeth Sm77. Previously he used multiple accounts to fake the GA review of Premam. He is a "GA freak" nominating moderately written or already developed articles (by someone else) for taking to GAN. In the two articles you promoted Drishyam looks fine, but Bangalore Days doesn't look like a good article. It surely effects the reputation of GA classification. BD cannot be compared with other GA's and cannot be taken as a reference for developing GA's. I think you should delist it. --Charles Turing (talk) 13:42, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. I thought he was a sockpuppet. I was far too lenient on Bangalore Days, how embarrassing! It's time to rectify that, I'll just delist it now. JAGUAR 16:02, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Good decision. --Charles Turing (talk) 16:10, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, I see that Bangalore Days has been delisted by you. I understand that you were the original reviewer, but I don't think the process was carried out in a formal fashion. You never explained why the article did not meet the criteria (in its talk page). If you based your decision solely based on the sock-puppetry thing, you might want to consider a reassessment (individual or community) for Drishyam as well. —Vensatry (Talk) 11:59, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi. I thought sending it through GAR would be a waste of time, as it would be delisted anyway. Passing the GAN in the first place was an error and my decision would have been the same even if JO Bieson wasn't a sockpuppet. Anybody can send Drishyam to GAR if they would like to.

Moar Bach
I am looking forward to a Bach cantata as TFA on Easter Sunday. Several of his early works are mentioned prominently, some of them GANs: Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit, BWV 106 and Der Herr denket an uns, BWV 196. Would be nice to have them improved until then. (Will tell Yash! the same,and try to improve more.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:48, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- I'll be happy to take some. I'll have them complete in time for Easter. JAGUAR 16:05, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Do you think the infobox adds nothing to the article? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:41, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- I don't mind infoboxes when they are used correctly; for example they're useful on articles that cover settlements or anything media-related. But when it comes to infoboxes on biography articles I don't see what benefits they bring. Sinatra's infobox (before the collapse) had a lot of pointless information and cluttered the article. I support the removal of any infobox on a BLP but when it comes to GA reviewing, I never bring it up. JAGUAR 20:48, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- I just wonder where we obviously see things differently. I am willing to not visit Sinatra again (enough of the suspicion I recruited warriors), may he rest in peace. Same for Peter Maxwell Davies. Please take a look. - There's also a discussion on the talk, among gentlemen who arrived at a compromise. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:08, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- I know how heated things can get so rapidly! I was there when the compromise was made, and I remember it was made not to affect Sinatra's transition to GA. If I ever review Peter Maxwell Davies, I will never bring up the infobox ;-D JAGUAR 22:14, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- It was reverted, and discussed as should be, no? - Thank you for another fine review! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:17, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- The cantata is on the Main page now, very suitable: not only Palm Sunday, but in some areas of the world already Bach's birthday. Please watch WP:QAIPOST, there may another coming (thinking of BWV 150, BWV 131, BWV 71). The old ones are less critical in time. Thanks again, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:08, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
- Changed my mind: BWV 243 nominated, 71 will be next, Thoughtfortheday will work on 131. On Bach's birthday ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:08, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

The infobox in Peter Maxwell Davies is a prime example of WP:Disinfobox. I wouldn't hold it against an editor when reviewing either but it really has very limited use and would look better without it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:31, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Even if it was innocent, his trolling and looking for drama since proves the sort of character he is!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:39, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
- I know! He's not worth it. I've never seen anybody so needlessly provocative on wiki before, so I'll just ignore him. As Mark Twain said: "Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level"! JAGUAR 11:42, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Jaguar made a mistake about Remus Cernea no longer Green Party politician, never graduated, Alma Mater: none.
Jaguar made a mistake about Remus Cernea because you never checked my changes on Remus Cernea's page. 1. Remus Cernea is no longer Green Party politician. 2. Remus Cernea has never graduated because he didn't pass all exams. 3. Remus Cernea's Alma Mater: none. Yes, I'm against Remus Cernea because he tries to manipulate people but Misplaced Pages should be objective and check. The Romanian and French version of Remus Cernea pages are completely different — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocco7777 (talk • contribs) 13:27, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

2016 GA Cup-Round 2
Greetings, GA Cup competitors! Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. Sainsf took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 765. In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 742 points, and in third place, FunkMonk received 610 points. In Round 1, 206 reviews were completed, more than any other year! At the beginning of March, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 490. We continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Misplaced Pages, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible. To qualify for the second round, you needed to make it into the top 16 of participants. Users were placed in 4 random pools of 4. To qualify for Round 3, the top 2 in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 9th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 2 will start on April 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on April 28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here Also, remember that a major rule change will go into effect starting on April 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 had an issue brought up in the rules, which we are correcting with this clarification. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: All reviews must give the nominator (or anyone else willing to improve the article) time to address the issues at hand, even if the article would qualify for what is usually called a "quick fail" in GA terms. To avoid further confusion, we have updated the scoring page, replacing the term "quick fail" with the term "fail without granting time for improvements". We expect all reviewers to put a review on hold for seven days in cases such as these as well, in order to apply the same standards to every competitor. The judges will strictly enforce this new rule. Good luck and have fun! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants. |

Flash! Jump!
Precious again, your flashing game!
It's your first, right? Good luck! (If you want to review a GA by what I think is a new nominator, turn to BWV 131.)--Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:42, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Congratulations on bringing Jumping Flash! on the front page today. ツ FrB.TG (talk) 08:32, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you both! I've taken the review Gerda, I should finish it soon. I can't believe that it's been vandalised already, and to annoy me further, the spelling "instalment" was changed to "installment". JAGUAR 13:03, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- My last one was changed funnily within minutes, but was otherwise quiet. Seems to help if death is mentioned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:50, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Pointless AWB edits
This edit is explicitly prohibited by AWB Rules of Use #4. Please stop making such edits or your AWB access will have to be removed. —Kusma (t·c) 16:29, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say that they're pointless, I set AWB to restore all project banners to their default names, similar to this example I saw happen last week. My edits also include fixing typos/syntax and re-aligning talk page banners. JAGUAR 16:34, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- As the AWB Rules say, "An edit that has no noticeable effect on the rendered page is generally considered an insignificant edit." Bypassing template redirects has no noticeable effect on the rendered page. Do not make edits that do not change the rendered page, it does nothing but annoy people by clogging up their watchlists. If you think it should be done, at least have it done by a flagged bot so the changes can be easily ignored. —Kusma (t·c) 16:38, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- You were warned about this before. At the next incidence of one bad AWB edit, I will remove your access. —Kusma (t·c) 16:41, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- I've stopped editing now. I'm wary of clogging up people's watchlists (I've already clogged up my own, considering there are some surviving 2012 townships), so I won't change the redirects unless they're actually broken. I did indeed find and corrected some broken ones, which inspired me to go through all the townships today. In the meantime I'll have to think of something more worthwhile to do.

A reminder
I'm sure you've not forgotten but the WP:Awaken the Dragon contest starts in 4 and half hours time. I wish you the best of luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:20, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- Nope, not forgotten! I've got my GAN reviewing on standby... JAGUAR 18:21, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
Awaken the Dragon
Hey there, bro. How's it going? Best of Luck with the "Awaken the Dragon" BTW. Is the contest more like "Awakening the Wikidragon in you?" If so, would there be one next year as this year, I'll pretty much be on "on-and-off" doses due to my Final Year Project (FYP). — Ssven2 00:30, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hey Ssven, it's going well thank you. Yeah LOL, this comes to mind for some reason! I haven't been writing many GAs this month due to lack of motivation, but who knows what will happen this month. I don't know if there will be one next year, but it would be good if there was because it is beneficial to the project. Did you want me to copyedit Anbe Sivam? JAGUAR 12:25, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Well, you can if it's alright with you. — Ssven2 13:41, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Even though that night is still a blur, I gave it a copyedit, although I left the structure alone as I'm not aware of the content. Let me know if you need anything else! JAGUAR 15:08, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
- Well, you can if it's alright with you. — Ssven2 13:41, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
DYK for Counter-Strike: Falklands
On 3 April 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Counter-Strike: Falklands, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after the release of Counter-Strike: Falklands, two of the developer's websites were targeted by a distributed denial-of-service attack? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Counter-Strike: Falklands. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Stub Obliteration
For this week I'm introducing a sort of game to blast away those stale old stubs with a prize at the end of it. See Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon/Stub Obliteration 2016. Expansion rules don't apply to any articles done through this, all you have to do is ensure every article you submit is minimum 1.5kb readable prose in total and adequately sourced and readable and remove the stub tag and update the project tag on the talk page. It could be that the article is 1.2kb readable prose and you simply add 0.3 kb prose and just quickly smarten up the sources and give a minor copyedit. The goal is reducing the number of stubs we have and making them more consistent, minimum start class entries. Read the top for the rules and more details and add your name to it in the style of the main entries page if you want to participate. It's open to contestants and anybody who is participating in the editathon independently. Potentially a lot of points can be earned from mass basic expansions with this!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:18, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Why
are you still making contact with me and harassing me? What's your problem? And please go an educate yourself as to what trolling means. I notice that you haven't informed MaranoFan what vandalism means. — Calvin999 22:07, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come across as harassing. Daily Mail is a tabloid and is shunned from being used as a reliable source per WP:NEWSORG. I've had it explained to me myself in numerous FACs. I'm not sure why that source survived the article's FAC, maybe it was an oversight or somebody added it after it got promoted. And I meant to say WP:DTTR, that too is also shunned and unhelpful in all cases. JAGUAR 22:10, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- And before you say anything, I typed an edit summary for re-instating MF's warning, but pressed cancel, deciding it's not worth the hassle. But it re-instated it anyway. So no lectures please. — Calvin999 22:11, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- But it is a music critic who is reviewing the song. Of course it's opinion based. I don't see the issue with, or with using Daily Mail. — Calvin999 22:15, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- You are correct, Calvin999. While the Daily Mail is not seen as a reliable source when it comes to news items (politics, and so on) there's no reason why it can't be used for a music review by a critic. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:19, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Exactly, and to answer your point Jaguar, that is why it was not asked to be removed during the candidacy for FA. — Calvin999 22:21, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- I'm a big enough person to admit when I'm wrong, and I was wrong. For that revert I apologise. JAGUAR 22:22, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Good, thank you. See, I'm not the evil troll that several people are making me out to be. I was right, and MF was wrong. He refuses to listen to me, but seems to have befriended you. So perhaps you should tell him he was wrong, and explain why. — Calvin999 22:26, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
