WP:PRIMARY edit

Hi there, re: this edit at List of highest-grossing Indian films, though I know you meant well, we don't use primary sources (a film's director/producer/distributor/actor or anyone who is directly involved in the film) for controversial content like financial data. A director would have every reason to inflate the box office figures (ex: because he wants to make more money on his next film). Only financial figures that are derived independently of the producers/directors/actors should be used. It's sometimes difficult to tell, but we have to do the best we can, and stick to reliable published sources that attribute their figures to analysts or internal estimates. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:16, 26 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

- But the figure quoted by the director was not 'inflated'. It was actually around 35 crores lesser than the earlier figure that was on Wiki. That's why I quoted his claims. PlutoniumBackToTheFuture (talk) 16:36, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Doesn't always have to be inflated. They might have a financial incentive to report a lower figure. If they report a lower number publicly, they might be less liable for entertainment taxes or reduce their liability to their investors. I'm not saying that this is what's happening with Mungaru Male, I'm saying that we don't know what the incentive is, we only know that a primary source has an incentive to fudge the figures. This is why we don't use primary sources for such things. Now, sometimes we find estimates that are high and it just doesn't pass the smell test, that's understandable, but a good approach is to go to the article's talk page and discuss things.

Cast reordering edit

I really don't understand the rationale behind this change. "SRK was apparently credited first in 'FAN'." How an actor is credited in one movie has zero bearing on how they are credited in another. Where does notion that even come from? To figure out how to properly determine starring credits, see Template:Infobox film instructions for how to use the |starring= parameter. Also, please see WP:FILMCAST. For the |starring= parameter of the infobox, we use the film poster's billing block or other prominent credits. If that isn't available, we may use onscreen credits. But what we absolutely do not do is base our ordering on some perceived cultural seniority or our personal preferences. If he was credited first in Fan, then it is appropriate to credit him first in the article on Fan. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:48, 3 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Usage of millions and crores. edit

Hi, I'm Pavanjandhyala. Good to see you caring about currency-related issues. There are two most-practiced ways of denoting currencies. One is to follow MOS:COMMONALITY; though it says preferable, in the current context of globalisation, using the million format is understandable. However, here, your argument is also justified: For monetary figures, you may use the Indian numbering system but also give their US dollar equivalents in parentheses. But, the problem is, the INRConvert template being used for the purpose is found inaccurate by many because of improper conversions (it was reported that it uses 2013 inflation rates for Indian currency). Hence, there is another way in practice. That is, we mention crores first, and write millions in brackets. For example, 50 crores (500 million). This is one of the approved ways as per Basic India conventions: You may use the Indian numbering system of lakhs and crores but should give their equivalents in millions/billions in parentheses. Let me know what you think of it. Regards, Pavanjandhyala (talk) 06:31, 6 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

    • Thanks Pavan Jandhyala for discussing it here. As you say, the reports of 2013 inflation rates apparently come from people who haven't updated the browsers. My old browser showed inflation values (as on 2013). But when I switched to my newer browser, it was showing based on the current values in 2016. I think it is acceptable to use INRConvert since it is the standard being followed in the 'List of Highest Grossing Indian films' page. Thanks and warm regards!PlutoniumBackToTheFuture (talk) 06:50, 6 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Pavan is enough. Consider using semicolons instead of asterisks next time. :) Pavanjandhyala (talk) 13:44, 6 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
  • Consensus at WT:ICTF is that we do not use {{INRConvert}} in the Infobox. You can learn why by looking for the relevant discussion. You may need to check the archives. As for crore, many of the regular ICTF members seem to prefer millions and billions per MOS:COMMONALITY. We write for a global readership, not just an Indian one. If you feel strongly about either issue, then you need to open a discussion in a central location, like at WT:ICTF. Edit warring is not an option, forcing your point of view is not an option. One last note, Plutonium, watch the personal attacks. If you can't discuss without resorting name-calling, you should find another hobby. personal attacks are not tolerated. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:24, 9 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Kotigobba 2 edit

  Hello, I'm Shanthiniketan. As you said if we were considered primary suorce, Mungaru Male would be a 40 crore. That too 40 crore was collected within 400 day, not lifetime collection. Any way we don't consider primary source as a reliable source, per senior editors. And even u can Google Mungaru Male was collected 125 crore according to few sources and raiding by CBI and extremely remained 75 crore. This is what published by the reputed Journalism. So we consider only secondary sources... Thank you


Shanthiniketan (talk) 16:12, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Not interested in puffery and farce. The director himself confirmed it many times that the film collected just above 40 crore. That was phenomenal then, considering the small market. Your figure blown up figure, 125 crore was not even possible for Bollywood films back then! Bollywood is a big market and it had its first 100-crore grosser only in 2008 with Ghajini. Kindly refrain from making childish statements. Thanks in advance, if you decide to do so. Also, Wikipedia does not entertain blogs as sources.PlutoniumBackToTheFuture (talk) 16:33, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

2016 edit

For your kind information- It was the FIRST Indian film of any language to be screened continuously for one year in a multiplex. The film recorded the highest box-office collections in the history of Kannada cinema and currently holds the record for the longest running film at a multiplex. Overall it ran over 865-days in Karnataka.

U said that even Bollywood films weren't collected over 100 crore. Bollywood films runs only one or more weeks.

I agry with u that KFI has a small market. But it has collected over 75 crore, running over 865 days, not within a week.... Thank you

YouTube edit

Hi there, re: this, a few notes. We don't have a blanket ban on YouTube videos as references. Generally we avoid using YouTube as references, but usually because oftentimes there is a potential for Wikipedia to be pointing to a copyright violation when we use things like music videos as references. That can be problematic, so as a rule if a site isn't verified, we would avoid it. If a site is verified as an official outlet for music videos (or whatever), then the copyright issue would probably not be relevant. The real issue about the video you removed is about whether or not Lehren TV is a reliable source. If the community decided that they are, then it's possible their videos (from a verified channel) could be used as a reference. If The Hindu, for example, had an online video presence on a verified channel, then we could cite one of their news reports. Anyhow, my point is that we don't have a blanket ban on YouTube videos, and the real question is whether or not Lehren TV, and more importantly, the person who made the claim, is a reliable source. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:25, 29 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi, regarding your edits about sairat collection re: this ,Lehren is media and entertainment website. Bharathi Pradhan is Senior Journalist and Author and Viveck Vaswani is producer. If the person is not reliable the why would he be invited on show business talk. And if Lehren.tv channel is not reliable then why would Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama(Indian film Critic and Business Analyst) make appearance on the show for previous show business talk episode here[1]. So my point is Leren.tv is reliable source and Bharathi Pradhan is respected reporter Regards,Ani_007d

Hyperbole edit

Hi there, it would be appreciated if you'd please not publish content like this where you assert that a film "instantly recorded a hit." This is hyperbolic language that has no place in an encyclopedia. We don't regurgitate subjective declarations like "the film declared as all-time blockbuster" or "the film was a disaster" these are terms appropriate for trade outlets, but such subjective evaluations don't fit in a neutral encyclopedia. Might as well say that the dub was "beautiful", "fun" or "thoroughly entertaining". Opinions aren't facts. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:04, 10 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:RahulRajComposer.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:RahulRajComposer.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

  • If you are someone who knows about the Indian film industry, you need not be told that he is one of the most revered actors in the country. I didn't want to use 'YouTube' as a source. Else, there are multiple videos of the country's cinema moguls, including Bachchan, hailing him as the best actor in the country. Besides, if Brando's page can contain such details and Bachchan's page can contain things like "Star of the Millenium", "Shehehshah of Bollywood", then this certainly should be here. I haven't used such fancy titles in Mohanlal's page. It's just a mention of him, being revered as one of the greatest in the country. There is nothing non-neutral about it.PlutoniumBackToTheFuture (talk) 05:51, 25 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • I grant I am not well versed in the Indian film industry. That said, I don't need to be. I can think of many actors who are openly regarded as having been the best of their generation, country, genre, what have you. Such superlatives are opinions, to be sure, and such opinions can be backed up by secondary sources that say "many people feel so-and-so is the best at..." Frankly, it's worthless. Mohanlal has plenty of accolades by various established, notable award giving organizations. Such awards being given are fact. That some people regard him as this, that or the other thing is nebulous at best. Even if a newspaper says some people regard him that way, it is still nebulous. The awards given are far more than sufficient to establish that he is an actor of some fame. We do not need to add peacock phrasing to embellish his record. Please read WP:PEACOCK.

May 2017 edit

 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mohanlal. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.SpacemanSpiff 06:15, 25 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Flop edit

Hi there, re: this, you've been around long enough to know that even with minor rewording, we don't "declare" films as any hyperbolic absolute. We present such observations neutrally, assuming they are even sourced. For example, when Rotten Tomatoes declares a western film "rotten" we do not publish that, because it's not neutral. As a neutral encyclopedia, we might describe the critical response as generally negative. I'm sure you can see the difference. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:21, 15 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

    • The former part is partially true //Director's vision//, but film 'craft' isn't exactly the nature of genres or about their competence to participate in festivals. Film 'craft' actually means the director's style of execution., i.e, his visual style, editing patterns, choice of music, soundscapes etc.PlutoniumBackToTheFuture (talk) 13:06, 19 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Recognition in international film festivals edit

Eega won international awards, Baahubali nominated by american saturn awards, this definitely means international acclaim not just screening of the film. The usage of the word acclaim is not an advertisement. Usage of words such as bagged, renowned, eminent, legendary, only director, greatest director etc come under fan POV and advertisements.

S. S. Rajamouli edit

Please restore the article to 13:26, 19 January 2018‎ (restored by you). I mean your best revision. Why do you wish to spoil the article quality by reverting your own edits. I am sure, you dont want the article to grow. Are you jealous of S.S. Rjaamouli's achievemnt Priedcraw (talk) 05:42, 9 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

    • Wikipedia is not a place for advertisement and puffery. Talk about 'spoiling the quality'. Who is doing it by repeated inclusion of puffery? Sentiments and opinions (P.O.V) don't work here. A clean article is always encouraged.PlutoniumBackToTheFuture (talk) 14:36, 14 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

April 2018 edit

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Supergirl (film), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

  Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Mani Ratnam. Thank you. Wolf Cola (talk) 13:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Films in filmography tables edit

We should only include those films that have entered production. As for Love Action Drama, it must not be included in Nayanthara filmography yet, because it may only commence shoot by May end or June. --Kailash29792 (talk) 14:01, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Official names edit

Regarding this edit – Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used by the majority of reliable sources. See WP:COMMONNAME and WP:OFFICIALNAMES.--Let There Be Sunshine 07:55, 5 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Iruvar poster edit

How are you so sure the poster was fanmade? I thought it was from the NFAI archives, hence an official poster. And please update sources whenever updating an image. --Kailash29792 (talk) 08:35, 10 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

File:Iruvar poster.jpg edit

 

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:02, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Deletion discussion about Inetscreen edit

Hello, PlutoniumBackToTheFuture,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Inetscreen should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Inetscreen .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Meatsgains(talk) 02:06, 21 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sure. Thanks for the information. Good that it isn't a vote. I did see the discussion. But I found it dormant after a while. 7 days is fair. But I guess it shouldn't remain so after that period, since the article is richly sourced and there hasn't been a 'deletion' consensus.PlutoniumBackToTheFuture (talk) 05:12, 27 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

Kaappaan edit

[3][4] - As per the given sources, AB's casting is not confirmed by the makers. So you can't assert it like a fact. Where is the source for but eventually Mohanlal was approached and successfully brought on board ? I am not asking about the source confirming Mohanlal's casting, where is the source which states AB was initially approached and later Mohanlal replaced him ? Do not form your own conclusion, that is WP:SYN and also WP:OR.--Let There Be Sunshine 09:13, 16 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Primary edit

Hey there, I think this is not a great call. While secondary sources do rely on primary sources, if they are just acting mouthpieces for the primary source, as many thirsty trade rags do, then they're just part of the problem. Especially in an industry that is known for fudging numbers. Usually our secondary sources check a number of avenues, including distributor reports and theatre reports to arrive at some figure.

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Alien (film). All sources say the film was a British-American co-production. FilmandTVFan28 (talk) 02:51, 26 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
