Hi there. If you plan to edit Indian film articles, you need to familiarize yourself with our guidelines on reliable sources. We only care what reliable published sources with established reputations for fact-checking and a clear editorial policy have to say about anything. Your edit here was problematic because it introduced a faceless blog, movieboxofficecollection.com as a reference, replacing a direct Tweet from an Indian film analyst. Please keep in mind that "any-old-reference" is not the same thing as a relible reference, please stick to main stream Indian news outlets like IBT, The Hindu, and so forth, and if you're tempted to add anything that looks like a blog, please don't, because it will not be warmly received. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:08, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

- Your reply above doesn't do much to resolve the "movieboxofficecollection.com is not a reliable source" issue. If you wish to argue that it is a reliable source, you're going to need to establish that it has an established reputation for fact-checking and a clear editorial policy. If you're not able to successfully argue that, you're not going to be able to use it as a reference. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:38, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

- So you are here to advertise your blog? How is that a legitimate academic endeavor consistent with Wikipedia's goals? If Taran Adarsh is a reliable source, why do we have to go through your spam to get to the facts? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 08:34, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- The link to movieboxofficecollection.com is dead at present, so I can't look at it, but if it just a blog or a site that you maintain, then it will not be a reliable source from Wikipedia's point of view - see WP:Identifying reliable sources, particularly the section "Self-published sources (online and paper)". If the information in your site came from a reliable source and you want to add it to Wikipedia, you should cite the reliable source, not your site. If you don't have a reliable source, you shouldn't add it.
- Also, see WP:EL#ADV: "you should avoid linking to a site that you own, maintain, or represent". JohnCD (talk) 10:12, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
