thread_title:  Good work 

message: During both FAC's for this article, the format and style of the Awards section were both discussed in detail by other editors - resulting in the decision that the section would be formatted as a paragraph rather than as a list. As the article is now a Featured Article, it is important to maintain this formatting style. So when editing this section, please do not convert it into a list. -Classicfilms 13:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Style of Awards section 

message: :I think the awards section needs some work. During the first FAC, when the awards was a standard list, one of the comments suggested that we turn it into a paragraph-which we did. Now, however, since the article is somewhat long, and since the film has won many awards, I would like to propose the following:
:a. Moving the awards to its own article (which is done, for example, with a listing of episodes for television programs).
:b. In terms of format, I thought that this article did a nice job with the awards section:
:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Hudson#Awards_and_nominations
:What does everyone think? -Classicfilms 02:44, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the idea of creating a daughter article on the awards own/nominated for. However, I do not think a list is needed in the main article. Rather we can avoid mentioning all the categories in all the award ceremonies in this article. Sentences like, " The movie won several awards including the best movie in XX award, 2007" may suffice, given we have a daughter article listing the full awards detail. In fact the daughter article may be done in a list format.Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 03:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Dwaipayan! Thanks for the response and sorry, I was not very clear in my post above - I didn't mean to imply that we should have a list in the main article - in fact, the two sentence introduction that is already there is enough. My thought was that all of the information should be moved to a new article and that the format could be similar to the section that I mention above. So, if that sounds like a good idea, I could take care of it. -Classicfilms 04:18, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've created a new article as a list. It currently has the 2006 awards. I'll format the 2007 awards and add them. -Classicfilms 17:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Awards again...

message: Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised at this movie article maiking it as an FA. However, given that it's the only hindi movie article to become a FA, I am even more surprised that the Sholay article didn't do it first; that movie has had a far greater impact on the Indian movie industry --Amit 05:15, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi! Thanks for the complement for this article :) Why don't you try to upgrade Sholay? It would be nice to see Sholay in FAC. A good source may be the book on the film by A Chopra. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:02, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sholay 

message: I was kinda stunned to see this movie, at best a mediocre Bollywood tale about bleeding-heart goodness and benevolence (Sanjay Dutt in a role he can never emulate in real life), elevated to the status of an FA. The critical value of the film apart, as someone already pointed put there are other worthy candidates like Swades, Lagaan, Sarfarosh etc. which deserve equal, if not more, importance. But yeah I'm just cribbing. dirty but clean 13:53, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: FA status is not solely based on importance of the subject. Of course there are other worthy candidates. Unfortunately, those are not of FA status. Please help them attain FA status by working on them. That will be great and more effective.--Dwaipayan (talk) 14:43, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Discussion pertaining to non-free image(s) used in article

message: I removed the English translation: "Carry On Munna Brother" as it was an awkward representation of the meaning and not sourced. There are many ways in which this title could be translated (a more figurative, but better translation would be "Go for it little brother" - but that also loses the double meaning of the term "Bhai"). We need to find a well sourced English version of this title. -Classicfilms (talk) 16:55, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
