message: Hello! I've been following Rajamouli for several years and also worked with him for a brief period of time. I'd like to make some edits to make this page more complete.
Rajamouli is a fantastic role model and I believe the wiki page currently doesn't quite convey that. Please allow me to edit the page Srinualav (talk) 14:46, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: OK, this reply is really late, but you seem to have misunderstood the talk page to be a place to talk to Rajamouli. Wikipedia does not represent S.S. Rajamouli, nor do we have any affiliation with him. This applies to all articles. You are welcome to improve Wikipedia if you wish to. Thanks, King Prithviraj II (talk) 17:05, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

replies: text:  In what context? A random sentence that says "Rajamouli lived in Vizag for a few years"? What does that tell us about him, exactly? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:32, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  We can change his personal life essay to the below one
"Rajamouli was born in Raichur of Karnataka, although his family hails from Kovvur, West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh. His primary education was done at Kovvur and his higher education was at Eluru. He lived in Vizag for several years as his mother was from therehttp://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Visakhapatnam/vizag-holds-a-special-place-in-my-heart-rajamouli/article18445586.ece
His father and brother are in the film industry, working as a script writer and a music director respectively. After his education, he worked as an assistant with editor Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao during his initial years. He is married to Rama, who now works as a costume designer for his films. They have 2 children – Koduri Karthikeya from her previous marriage and Koduri Mayukha, daughter." Sharkslayer87 (talk) 18:46, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

message: Discuss your changes here. Please raise specific points and issues instead of vaguely mentioning "Original research" or "POV". -- Ab207 (talk) 14:39, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This change is particluar by Fostera12 makes little sense to me. Even if it was "fan POV", the information should be re-written per NPOV instead of simply removing. And how are a few randon international awards more important than the notable Indian awards won by Rajamouli? -- Ab207 (talk) 14:43, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Articles of Cameron, Spielberg, Nolan have info on box office milestones. All the awards in the Rajamouli's lead are notable like Nandi Awards, Filmfare, National Awards Saturn Awards. All the information on box office is backed by reliable third-party sources. The information on themes is a summary of the sub-section of "Filmmaking style and themes". All the words in those sentences are backed by reliable sources which can be found in the body. I didn't put them in the lead as it makes the article cluttered. The sentence on "Pan-India films" should be there because it is a significant movement in Indian cinema and Rajamouli is the pioneer of it. Likewise, all information in the lead is sourced and summarized from the body of the article. I hope this clears it. Reo kwon (talk) 15:15, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: If they have box office info it should not be in lead section, it should be in body when you are discussing that film. Fostera12 (talk) 15:18, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

text: I have highlighted the issues, Now what are you going to do ? tell me ? will you correct it or i should correct and re-write. Conclude me Fostera12 (talk) 15:19, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Halo I am asking you. Will allow me to rewrite some lines or you own wikipedia ? Fostera12 (talk) 15:26, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

text: His films won the National Awards for Best Film and Best Popular Film which goes both to the director and producer of the films. You can check the citations of that on the Ministry's website. Notable films are based on either commercial or critical acclaim. The films mentioned satisfy either of the criteria. Your opinion that films of a certain genre should not be mentioned is the very definition of "POV pushing". Reo kwon (talk) 15:24, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this, I am not talking about this do you understand english ? I am talking about rewriting the same info properly Fostera12 (talk) 15:27, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

text: It was included because it is significant and is sourced from reliable parties. Lead sections on many directors, actors, and sportspersons contain information regarding earnings. For example, check Jackie Chan's page. Reo kwon (talk) 15:29, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

text: That infortaion is a fact. Not POV. A director's lead section obviously contains information about his body of work and its significance. It was included because it is a notable milestone. Reo kwon (talk) 15:31, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Rajamouli is currently the highest paid director in India. This is a fact, not POV. Also, he is a film director, therefore the miles stones about the film he directed will be included. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:28, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Why was "Rajamouli has directed twelve feature films so far; each one of them was successful at the box office" has been removed. The information is reliably sourced to independent citations with quotes from the relevant article. -- Ab207 (talk) 15:35, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Still don't understand why the information related to past films has been erased. The lead as edited by you covers past 4 films only when in fact he directed 12 films. Lead is supposed to summarize his entire career. All 12 films he directed are commercially successful. This part is reliably sourced and verifiable, and must be restored. -- Ab207 (talk) 17:34, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's unclear why older films should be left out in favour of Baahubali 2's ticket sales. I'd prefer it the other way around. He directed 12 films, not just 4. -- Ab207 (talk) 10:23, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hm. I initially wrote about his older films too. Only removed them because Fostera12 mentioned that they were not notable. They might pale in comparison to the success of Baahubali or RRR, but they were notable films in Telugu Cinema. I don't mind it either way. Reo kwon (talk) 10:33, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Two of the three sub-sections in the body cover the older 8 films. So they should be summarized the lead as well. -- Ab207 (talk) 10:49, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Okay, I will add them. Reo kwon (talk) 16:13, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

text: HCA Midseason can be added to the body. It is not prominent enough to be in the lead. Furthermore, it is a runner-up, not a win. We are not quoting Idlebrain on Magadheera box-office figures. But rather it is regarding the fact that Magadheera became the highest-grossing Telugu film at the time. As you said, there was controversy on the box-office figures, but everyone agrees that it was the highest grosser ever at the time. This was the fact that was included in the lead. Reo kwon (talk) 10:53, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

text: They were added after discussion with Ab207. As I said earlier, I don't have a preference for keeping or removing it. You can remove them once we achieve consensus on this page. Reo kwon (talk) 10:53, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Ab207 Please note that Fostera12 has engaged in edit war contradicting whatever has been discussed here. Magadheera's box-office milestone has been removed unilaterally. Also removed were films from his older days. Reo kwon (talk) 11:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

text: You can add the HCA Midseason nomination if others agree to it. On my part, I think, it is not prominent enough. If it is the year-end award then that can surely be included. Reo kwon (talk) 11:21, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Ab207  Reo kwon has engaged in edit war contradicting whatever has been discussed here. Not adding RRR nomination in lead section, but adding Baahubali nomination, Contradicting his own ideas.Fostera12 (talk) 11:19, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Both are not equivalent. Bahubali's nomination is for Saturn Awards which are prestigious for speculative fiction films. RRR nomination is for midseason awards. If it was the year-end awards then it would be more prominent and can be added. That is all I am saying. Reo kwon (talk) 11:24, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

text: The issue is you are making little effort to cohesively summarize his career. Straight up removing all the old 8 films makes the lead loopsided, focusing only 4/12 films. -- Ab207 (talk) 13:18, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
