Biographies of filmmakers

Hello! Just a reminder that {{WikiProject Film}} does not cover biography articles, such as actors and filmmakers. This applies to all of the film task forces as well, which means that the Indian cinema task force does not include articles about Indian actors, directors and filmmakers, and consequently should not have the |cinema=yes parameter on the {{WikiProject India}} banner. Thanks! Fortdj33 (talk) 12:41, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:DJ film poster.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:DJ film poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi Balablitz,
Per your revert edit here, the editor seems to have copied their content from http://www.easydestination.net/siliguri.html, so it is also a copy vio.
I have warned them appropriately. Regards, 220 of ^Borg 07:34, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Query on Indian Movie Edit

Dear Balablitz,

Please let us know the removal reason of "Based On" information of "Indian 1996" movie data. It was earlier

"based on = Corrupt Government Officials and attacking them with Varmakkalai (Choreographed by Aasan R. Rajendran)"

But, during your revision as of 22:06, 30 September 2017, this information was removed.

Awaiting for your response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indaravind (talk • contribs) date (UTC)

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest

Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at Missing articles. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:37, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Unable to edit Wikipedia

Dear @JamesBWatson,

Being a legitimate user with clean track, why am i seeing this following text for the past two days all while being logged in.

"You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia.
You are still able to view pages, but you are not currently able to edit, move, or create them. Editing from 106.203.32.0/19 has been blocked (disabled) by JamesBWatson for the following reason(s): Block evasion
This block has been set to expire: 2017-10-23T08:09:37.
Even if blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page and email other editors and administrators."

Let me know what can be done productively on this issue. ----βα£α(ᶀᶅᶖᵵᵶ) 12:37, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

I have changed the block to "anon only", allowing editing for anyone logged into an account, so you should be able to edit now. I apologise for the inconvenience it caused you, which was not intended. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:21, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding and much respect for your efforts.

Thank you very much! ----βα£α(ᶀᶅᶖᵵᵶ) 23:42, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia Asian Month 2017: Invitation to Participate

Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.

I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard!

Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.

Thank you!

- User:SuperHamster and User:Titodutta on behalf of The English Wikipedia WAM Team

This will be the last message you receive from the English Wikipedia WAM team for being a 2016 participant. If you sign up for WAM 2017, you will continue receiving periodic updates on the 2017 event.
