Mammootty first at Harikrishnans

I've been editing Indian entertainment articles at Wikipedia for many years, and the constant back-and-forth about whether Mammootty or Mohanlal should be credited first for any given film they've both appeared in, has been EXTRAORDINARILY disruptive for a long, long time. The only reason why I'm letting these edits fly, is because I found a version of the film that seems to credit Mammootty first, although I'm sure somewhere I could find a version that credited Mohanlal first. And no, your argument that because the film is "Harikrishnan" and Mammootty plays Hari, that he should come first, would not be swaying, because nowhere else is a portmanteau of the main characters' names grounds for determining "correct" credit order. Neither is your limp link to Filmibeat, which isn't considered a reliable source by the Indian Cinema Task Force at Wikipedia. On-screen credits are what we typically go by, but even with that as the decision-maker, I've seen different regions release different credit orders so that local fanatics weren't disappointed.

Oh, and just to clarify, per WP:BRD, when your edits are reverted for a legitimate reason, whether you agree with it or not, your recourse is to open a discussion on the article's talk page, not to resubmit the content. Your restoration of this content constituted edit-warring, and you could have been sanctioned for that. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:04, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Cyphoidbomb; This Mammootty fan IP hopper has been doing this since a long time. He disorder cast in Mohanlal-starring films and places supporting actors on the front (see the most recent of [1][2][3]), along with misleading edit summaries such as "cast in order", "cast as per credit line". Just for fun. If this is what this guy is doing in Mohanlal-starring films then you can imagine how much credibility his words has in Mohanlal and Mammootty starring films. This is why I once used the edit summary "vandalism by a frustrated mammootty fanboy" while reverting him, then onward this person shamelessly copy pastes that and change it to "frustrated mohanlal fanboy" while reverting. Jeeez. BTW, IPs were blocked some time ago, but still returns after block expiry.

IPs and ranges that were blocked - 103.119.254.177, 103.103.174.0/24

Following are some of the Mohanlal-starring films he vandalises

• China Town (2011 film): [4][5][6] - [7]; [8][9] - [10]; [11] - [12]; [13][14]; [15]
• Christian Brothers (film): [16][17] - [18]; [19][20][21]
• Manichitrathazhu: [22] - [23]; [24] - [25]; [26][27]
• Rajavinte Makan: [28][29][30]; [31][32]
• Janakan: [33] - [34]; [35] - [36]; [37][38] - [39][40]
• Angel John: [41][42][43][44] - [45]
• Red Wine (2013 film): [46][47] - [48]
• Udayananu Tharam: [49][50] - [51]
• Adhwaytham: [52] - [53]
• Vismayathumbathu: [54][55]
• Big Brother (2020 film): [56]

Ironically, this same person wants to place Mammootty in front even in films he appears cameo [57]. Beside disrupting cast order, there were sometimes other kinds of vandalism too, such as [58][59][60].

In Mohanlal and Mammootty starring films, there are too many to list, so please view the contributions of those IPs. Harikrishnans is only one among the several films. I don't see this behavior as favoritism, if that was the case he only needs to make changes in Mammootty-Mohanlal films, no need to vandalise the order in Mohanlal alone starring films persistently and with misleading edit summaries, not to mention the occasional budget tampering. What can be seen here is extreme hatred towards Mohanlal and finding relief by damaging his pages. This is why I said this person is frustrated.

This person knows that the volunteers administering Wikipedia are not Keralites and has not seen these films, obviously that's why he writes deceptive edit summaries. Edits are not limited to these two actors, see his vandalism at Prithviraj Sukumaran-starring Swapnakkoodu. Can anybody tell me what is this gibberish on Kaviyoor Ponnamma's page ? It's from his range and there's derogatory mention of Mohanlal. Seriously, this person needs treatment.

These IPs are also a likely block evasion of Mubthasim (there was one more blocked alternate account with fewer edits, but I can't find it now), has overlapping edits on all pages. Anyway, sock or not, cast vandalism is still ongoing, see this IPs edits itself. Please apply a long-term range block. Let me invite the attention of Bonadea too. 137.97.186.100 (talk) 19:31, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello 103.99.219.54, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Harikrishnans have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 17:13, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
