Balidaan (1997 film)

  • Template:U, I thought quotes looked better, I guess, but fixed. I think that the Nepalese Civil War pipe is appropriate because this event led to film being banned. The war lasted from 1996 to 2006. It was banned by Nepali monarchy but they were overthrowed as a result of the war. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 16:53, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:Ping OK, now that I edited the page I see there was quite a bit of time between the film's release and its banning. Do you want to include the date in the hook?
  • ALT1: ... that the 1997 historical drama Balidaan (Sacrifice) was banned eight years later by King Gyanendra for its portrayal of Nepal's communist movement? Yoninah (talk) 17:14, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Yoninah, I came here to give the tick you requested nearly a week ago, but was unable to find in any of the sources wording that specifically ascribed the banning to Gyanendra himself, so I can't approve ALT1. Neither the wording in the lede nor in the Sarkar quote goes that far (and the quote is very odd in that it says "five years ago" yet there is no identification of when the passage was written).

  • The article was written on Template:Tq (see the heading on the bold text).
ALT2: ... that the 1997 historical drama Balidaan (Sacrifice) was banned eight years later by King Gyanendra's government for its portrayal of Nepal's communist movement?
Hi Template:U, Is this better? ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 11:19, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Yoninah, I really wish there wasn't disagreement between sources. Source 3 gives the film's release as 1997, but source 4 says it was 1996. Source 7 says the ban was "five years ago" (dated January 10, 2010), but source 3 reports the ban as if very recent on September 24, 2005. Does any source give the actual release date of the movie beyond the year? It might be safer to say "in 2005" rather than "eight years later" given the discrepancies and uncertainties.

  • Yoninah, I believe that ALT2a addresses my issues with prior hooks of the same import. I haven't looked at the ALT3s. I'll leave the hooks to you to decide. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:30, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Yes, ALT2a looks good. Hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT2a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 18:36, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
