# Talk:Black (2005 film)

Is anyone willing to add more to the storyline? It should contain the whole story spoilers included. You can write a short description as a sub-section I guess for those who want to know what it's about but not wanting to spoil the movie for them. I would but I'm not to fond of the film at all.

Is the Hindi spelling ब्लॅक or ब्लैक? So far on the internet I have found ब्लॅक used only in Marathi.--Wolf talk | हिन्दी | বাংলা 16:49, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Black Film.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Should there be any Indian script here? The title of the movie is officially in English, and the language is primarily English, so I can't see why a script is necessary. Shahid • Talk2me 16:20, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

### Progress
Hi - I added the AI generated tag here in reference to the edits by Thefallguy2025. Their edits have consistently displayed indicators of potential LLM output (some of their past edits have kept the chatgpt parameter in the refs), and so I am tagging them all as it is unlikely they suddenly stopped using it. 
Since their text remains in the current version of this article, and it is unclear how much review was done of the output, it all needs review for sourcing, tone, accuracy/hallucinations, etc. (This applies even to changes that are "just" copy edits, as AI copy edits commonly introduce editorializing, subtle factual errors, unattributed opinion, non-neutral language, etc., even when they claim otherwise.)
(The GA review, of course, came before these edits were made.) Gnomingstuff (talk) 22:14, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
