Talk:Aayirathil Oruvan (2010 film)

message: I think it is enough to simply mention that only 3 songs do feature in the film and the other songs weren't used or just partly used in the film. I believe it's unnecessary to describe how and when the songs appear in the film, this is not included in any other film article. What say? Johannes003 (talk) 17:51, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I have reviewed this article according to the requirements of the GA criteria and have placed the article on hold until the following issues are addressed. As you address each issue, either strike through the statement/place a check mark next to the issue and state how you addressed it (if necessary). If you disagree with a particular issue, state your rationale for doing so after the issue in question so a compromise can be reached.
#I tagged :File:Aayirathiloruvan.png to be reduced in size. At most, one of the sides should be 300px.

#It would be helpful since this is the English Wikipedia to have conversions for the rupees to perhaps dollars or euros for readers who may not be familiar with the currency equivalent. In addition, the dollars and pounds in the reception section should also have the rupees equivalent.✔
#:The amounts in the reception section (£29,517 and $340,082) should have conversions.
#"The film begins with an episode in 1279 AD, when the successor of the last great Chola Emperor, pending invasion, sends his people, to survive the threat." Sends his people where?
#"...and a member of the army going..." Army doesn't need to be wikilinked.✔
#"Shooting began in July 2007, and took place in various locations: Chalakudy, Kerala; Jaisalmer, Rajasthan; and other regions throughout India with a record number of extras." Move "a record number of extras" after "various locations"; use commas instead of the semicolons.✔
#The plot could use some cleanup, there's some redundant phrasing and grammar issues. Go over it a few times, and invite someone else to help out. Do not use lead-ins such as "in the film" or "the audience".

replies: text: If the image were showing an attempt to get a difficult shot, then that would possibly be beneficial for the article. Unfortunately, the image only shows the cast standing around and as it is non-free, its rationale isn't strong enough to warrant inclusion. Free images could be found that show the actors/actresses or director instead. If you instead want to include another screenshot/publicity shot, then maybe you can include  or , where you can comment on the number of extras used for filming (and maybe the amount of violence that resulted in the stricter rating). Or, if you can find sources talking about the costume design of the film, you can probably use  or again, one of the other two. Using just one of these images in place of the current one, would probably stand a better chance of remaining in the article if supported by commentary in the article and a strong rationale. If you upload one of these, make sure one of the sides is at most 300px and that the watermark isn't included. If you have further questions about including an image in the article please let me know. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 03:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

text: The work has completed in its entirity - with another user helping clean through the plot prose. I hope the changes can further strenghten the argument for the article to be promoted to a GA. Universal Hero (talk) 15:52, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I struck through the completed points. Some of the above still need to be addressed, and I elaborated on a few. The history doesn't show any other editor working on the plot, were you referring to another article? Please address the remaining issues and I'll give the article a final look-over and help with the prose. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 03:46, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
