Nominator(s): Krimuk|90 (talk) 06:02, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Tabu is perhaps the one Bollywood actress whose filmography is diverse to the extent of being strange. On one hand, she played the Lady Macbeth character in the brilliant Maqbool and on the other, she played a woman who is raped by a ghost in Hawa. She played the seductive bar dancer in the gritty Chandni Bar and also the coy wife in the regressive melodrama Hum Saath-Saath Hain. Superstar or not, she is the bravest Hindi film heroine from the 1990s. Krimuk|90 (talk) 06:02, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Comments from FrB.TG WP:ALT needed for the image. "Tabu's first credited film role" – surely we know that it was her first credited "film" role as she is a film actress. "After appearing in a series of poorly received films" – which poorly received films I mean mention at least one. "poorly received films" – hyphen needed between "poorly" and "received". Nope. This is not a hyphenated word. "in Gulzar's Maachis (1996) won her the National Film Award for Best Actress, and proved to be her breakthrough role" – I think breakthrough should come first, followed by the National Film Award. Ref. 8 and 9 should be swapped as the sentence starts with the film Border and it's ref. 9 that talks about the film. "The following year, she starred in Kandukondain Kandukondain, a Tamil language adaptation of Jane Austen's". "Also that year, she played a brief role in the romantic drama Fanaa" – I won't call Fanaa a romantic drama yes it was a romance but it was more of a "crime drama" or "thriller" than a love story. "as a woman romantically involved with a much older man..." → "as a gerontophile.." – not that the former is not good but this is a bit shorter. I think that {{mdash}} (in the table) in center looks better. In the table the first film is Hindi language film – Hindi needs to be linked. Hanuman – ditto. English language doesn't need to be wikilinked. Like "Notes" and "Ref(s)", "Language" should also not be sortable, reason? The links for languages ain't repeated opposite to "Director(s)", which is also sortable. I don't understand what you mean by this. Ah, pretty confusing my comment is. I was just asking that the "Language" column should not be sortable as entries there are linked only on first occurrence, but other FLs seem to do it this way. So it is fine and should be the way it is at the present. -- FrankBoy CHITCHAT 17:30, 4 July 2015 (UTC) Ah, ok. :) Tabu's career is almost 25 years old, and it's (the lead) a bit long to me. The length is perfectly fine IMO. I think the lead needs a little bit rephrasing as currently the prose is dull with Tabu did this and for xxx Tabu won the xxx award. It's not repetitive at all for a filmography page. Edinburgh University Press needs to be linked in ref. 18. Ref. 22: Popular Prakashan – ditto. Is OneIndia reliable? Besides it's Oneindia, not OneIndia. Yes. It is used in FAs, such as Enthiran. Source from YouTube is acceptable when it's from official publisher which is the case here, but there are too many sources from the video-sharing website. If possible (only if available), replace some. They are all from verified youtube publishers which is acceptable. MSN should be linked in ref. 85. ".com" should be omitted from the publisher of ref. 111. Tabu is "the bravest Hindi film heroine from the 1990s" — agree. -- FrankBoy CHITCHAT 15:06, 4 July 2015 (UTC) Thanks for the comments, FrB.TG. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 15:39, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

*After appearing in a series... This sentence can surely be combined in some way with the next sentence. Something about a career turnaround. Yep, that's why I at the end of the sentence I say that the year 1996 was key for her. It signifies that her career breakthrough came that year. Suggested rephrase. Tabu garnered a second National Film.... so you don't say award twice. Done. For Namesake maybe specify it was a US-Indian co-production. I think it was anyway. Mentioned in the notes section. Tabu took on fewer film... Any reason why? Not really sure. She's famously erratic, and honestly, Indian producers stop offering films to an actress after she turns 35. In terms of refs, what makes the following reliable: Idlebrain, iDream movies (copyvio?), Goldmines movies(copyvio?). Blue Ocean publishers are self-publishing company so that source should probably be replaced. Idlebrain.com is a leading publisher for Telegu films. The rest are verified YouTube publishers, so no copyvio there. Haven't yet checked if the refs support everything in the table. That's all for now. Cowlibob (talk) 20:26, 21 July 2015 (UTC) Thanks for the comments, Cowlibob. --Krimuk|90 (talk) 02:52, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Comments from SNUGGUMS

• Pretty good work, Krimuk. My only concern is whether "Idlebrain.com" is a reliable source. It seems dubious. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:32, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, Snuggums. Yep, Idlebrain.com is covered by a notable third-party source here and here, so it does seem to meet the reliability criteria. Cheers! --Krimuk|90 (talk) 03:36, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Seems to have reasonable credentials, so I'll support. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:39, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. :) --Krimuk|90 (talk) 03:39, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Comments from Birdienest81

• Support: Looks very informative and organized. I may leave a comment if I find an error, but I don't want to repeat any other mistakes pointed out by the previous reviewers.

--Birdienest81 (talk) 05:07, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, Birdienest. :) --Krimuk|90 (talk) 06:03, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Comments from Pavanjandhyala

Accepted that Idlebrain is a is a leading publisher for Telugu films. But i suggest you to replace a few references with the following ones which are better RS.

• Faction frictions by The Hindu for number 86.

Replaced.

• Gripping, but no shock value by The Hindu for number 100

Replaced.

• KRR taught Tabu to give sexy expressions in a bedroom! (sounds absurd) by The Times of India for number 33 which actually is used as number 2. Another similar article from TOI is here for number 33.

Yeah, but these refs don't mention her character name in the film, which ref no. 33 does.

• Cut above the rest by The Tribune for number 41 which actually is used as number 4.

Ref 4 just mentions the name of the film. Doesn't say that she had a special appearance in the film, nor does it mention the film's director, which ref no. 41 does.

• 'I want to be a free bird' by Rediff.com for number 51.

This doesn't mention her character name in the film, which ref no. 51 does.

• My favourite heroines: Nag by Sify for number 59.

This doesn't mention her character name in the film, which ref no. 59 does.

• Is number 98 that necessary?

Removed.

Yours sincerely, Pavanjandhyala (talk) 16:04, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Pavanjandhyala for the better references. :) --Krimuk|90 (talk) 02:22, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
