"Centered" vs "centred"

Hi, just wanted to inform you that "centred" is British English and not a typo, but it's really not a big deal. Have a nice day! Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 13:24, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Swarleystinson88 (07:12, 15 May 2024)

Hello, I recently added information along with reliable sources but it got edited out by a senior editor quoting “for sake of neutrality” even when it’s a necessary information and a fact stated in the source. --Swarleystinson88 (talk) 07:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The information is indeed verifiable, but not all verifiable information needs to be included. Consider following the steps of the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. If you're not convinced by Kailash29792's reasoning, you can continue to discuss the issue on the talk page, where other editors can chime in. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 11:27, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Before I could even talk to him, he went to (Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents) and tried to get me blocked accusing me of being a sock. He didn’t ping me to discuss. Swarleystinson88 (talk) 15:11, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Swarelystinson88: In my opinion the report was way out of line (as I explained in my comment on the thread). Regardless, it has now been closed. My original advice still applies, though I understand if you no longer wish to interact with Kailash29792. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 15:45, 15 May 2024 (UTC) Fix ping again Swarleystinson88 Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 15:48, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would still like to talk to him about the issue with the article and hopefully resolve it. But I would like your insight on the edit I made.
So India has regional film industries that produce movies in a specific market. The film “Mayabazar (1957)” was produced by Telugu cinema (Tollywood), and was filmed as a bilingual in Telugu and Tamil. Even today many films are shot as bilinguals but they are produced by a certain industry like Baahubali franchise.
So, I added information about the industry that the film was produced in. This information particularly for regional film cinema is important when people search for it. The sources verify that information as well.
The current article only gives information about in what languages the film was shot in but not the information of which industry produced it. I only want to add where the film is produced and it has nothing to do with it being a bilingual. Swarleystinson88 (talk) 14:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Swarleystinson88: Well, the thing with doing that by calling it a "Telegu film" is that it looks a lot like you're favoring one of the two languages. Maybe mention the whole "Telegu Cinema" name or something.
I suggest you talk about this on the talk page though, I don't know what I'm talking about and editors over there do. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 14:54, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Coltit

Hi Snowmanonahoe. Your recent edits to {{Coltit}} seem to have resulted in a cell value of:

! {{Coltit|x=}} <some text>

not getting the grey background colour, which it used to. See here for an example. Are you able to make further changes to {{Coltit}} so that it gets the grey background once again? (In case you're wondering why anyone would want to use a cell value of "! {{Coltit|x=}} <some text>", the Formula One WikiProject has a series of templates which evaluate to "{{Coltit|x=}} <some text>" under various circumstances, and we currently use those templates to populate table cells both with and without the "!" at the start.
