replies: text: True. However it's usually those somewhat interested in the subject, or somewhat knowlegdeable about it, who end up doing that. Anyway, therefore you're welcome to mine the external links and add some stuff to the article! Softlavender (talk) 04:00, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  A lot of information could be extracted from these interviews 

message: Please note that Ganatra directed three episodes of Transparent, and was a consulting producer. She was not a "Producing Director", and no official citation has been put forth to substantiate that. I am changing the lead back for accuracy. Please do not continue to insert that. Thank you.

text: Linkedin is an WP:SPS and not great; buzzfeed is weak too.  for something you are saying is so important, is that really the best you can do?  (please do read WP:RS).  producer director is not even a thing in WP.  hm Jytdog (talk) 08:11, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: PollyNYC all we need are reliable sources that state the "producer director" credit you are requesting be added.  You have good sources, or you don't.  If you don't have sources, there is no point discussing this further.  IMDB is WP:SPS so not reliable; I am unsure why Softlavender brought it up but there is no point discussing it..

replies: text: Hello Jytdog, I created and double-checked all of that filmography. Filmographies do not need sources unless they are contested, and none of this is or has ever been. If you want verification, check any other actor's or director's filmography on Wikipedia, or inquire at WP:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers. -- Softlavender (talk) 07:46, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: OK then. self-reverted Jytdog (talk) 16:27, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: btw, i don't believe the practice you describe should be allowed; I don't think "it is sourced over in some other article" is OK for anything in WP.  But I am not fighting that battle here; it isn't appropriate at the article level and there is enough trouble here already. :)  hence my self revert.  just wanted to explain.

message: Adding a career section to make a structure for the page.
Nisha Ganatra's Careers include, actress, film maker, film producer, and screenwriter. Much of Ganatra's work whether she is filming or acting, deals with representing lesbian stories that are dismissed in queer cinema canon.Early in Nisha Ganatra's career, she proceeded to engage in acting classes. Years later, Ganatra shifted towards screenwriting classes at UCLA. Her career began with roles in featured films. Later on, Ganatra took a shift in films and started producing her own. Her first feature film is Chuntney Popcorn (1999). The film is written, and directed by Ganatra, as well as her maintaining the lead role in the film. The film is about a young Indian lesbian (Reena) residing in New York. Her married sister learns that she is infertile and Reena offers to be a surrogate for her sister. Later on, Ganatra proceeded to direct many episodes of MTV's The Real World, the film Cake, plus the films Cosmopolitan.  Kerr0693 (talk) 13:58, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Career 

message: Overall, there is a lot of good information presented here about Nisha Ganatra. Adding a career and early life section really helped to give more structure to the article. For areas to improve I would try to flesh out the information you've provided here. For example in the lead it is mentioned that she worked on Transparent and it received a Golden Globe, but then this information is completely absent from the career section. Additionally, in the career section it briefly mentions that at this time she wrote and directed Chutney Popcorn, but does not go into any further detail about this fact, like how she was also the lead actress. Lastly, I found it interesting that previous edits reference that she is of Indian decent but you removed that detail in your final version of the article? Is there a reason for this? Otherwise, it seems like an attempt to hide her race despite the fact that it has influence much of her work. AliceCullen4354 (talk) 21:08, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
