Box office

edit

Hi there, re: this, per Template:Infobox film instructions, the |gross= parameter is for the gross value a film brought in through ticket sales at the box office. This is why the infobox produces the label "box office" before the value. Pre-release income is not relevant to box office, as it has nothing to do with ticket sales. Thanks.

Please don't add subjective labels

edit

Hi there, please don't add subjective labels like "superhit" or "blockbuster" or "failure" or "flop" or anything like that as you did here. We don't regurgitate subjective declarations like this. If a source called a film a "steaming pile of shit", surely you don't think that we'd present that as an incontrovertible fact, right? Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia, so we use neutral language to describe things. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:05, 13 August 2017 (UTC)Reply


Cyphoidbomb, That's really ironic and hypocrite because you guys (Krishh wrote "Flop" statement on Tamasha page :) Really disappointing as you guys only leave precedent by creating baseless and useless Blockbuster clubs or Bollywood 100 crore clubs on wikipedia. This 'blockbuster' label for Om Shanti Om was given by you guys. I can come up with endless examples of subjective labels written by your teams on various film and actor pages. One more thing, please learn the difference between Box Office earnings and critical reception of the film as both don't always go hand to hand. If films like Tees Maar Khan, Happy New Year, Dhoom 3 etc. did incredible on box office despite negative reviews, this achievement cannot be considered as Incontrovertible fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DarpSinghh (talkcontribs) 08:17, 13 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Just seeing this now. That would only be ironic or hypocritical if I did it, which I did not. If you had a problem with Krish's edit, you should have taken it up with them. Note also the old axiom "two wrongs don't make a right". Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:06, 27 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

"Mixed to ___" or "___ to mixed"

edit

Hi there, re: this edit, "mixed to ___" style phrasing is considered meaningless by multiple WikiProjects, including WikiProject Film. It would be appreciated if you'd please refrain from using it. "Mixed" already means "positive and negative", so by extension, "positive to mixed" means "positive to positive and negative", which, as you can see, is meaningless. If you are interested in the background discussions about these, you can find them here. Also, please be sure that your changes follow MOS:FILM, which reflects community consensus for how film articles should be built. We don't, for example, add decorative critical response tables in film articles. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:04, 27 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Padmaavat

edit

I am sure it is hurtful for you see your favourite actress and her film getting panned like shit. Isn't? But you need to understand that this is wikipedia and not your personal blog where you can manipulate things. Almost all the reputed critics have panned the film, with criticism ranging from the plot, Deepika and Shahid's wooden and cardboard performances, execution (maybe due to cuts etc), music, tacky special effects, run time and fake production design. The positive reviews on the other hand, either have praised Ranveer's performance or just visuals (saying how it's Bollywood's answer to Baahubali and stuff). Some of the positive reviews like India Today rate the film 3.5 stars but inside the review there are only negative things are found such as this 3.5 out 5 review Padmaavat review: Deepika-Shahid mediocrity covered in jewels, Ranveer not convincing. Tell me whether a mediocre film ever deserves a 3.5 out of 5 rating? Similarly, there are many reviews which talk negatively about the film only to give it 4 and 3 and 3.5 rating. Even after ignoring these reviews, we can say that there are plenty of negative and mixed reviews, which tear the film apart. Now coming to Rotten Tomatoes, it does not take all the Indian reviews to give a final aggregate of the quality of the film. It gives an impression that the film was highly acclaimed but it's not. I removed it from Overseas section because RT source contained just 1 overseas review. So how in the true sense it could be considered as overseas aggregate when rest of the reviews are Indian? Now coming to your query about Bajirao Mastani receiving negative reviews, I would like to tell you that it was not panned like this movie. Maximum reviewers praised the film and it was not at all divisive as this. I have nothing against you or Ms. Padukone. Happy editing.Krish | Talk 17:21, 25 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Padmaavat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gross (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I don't know why your acting stubborn to create a messy unsourced table for awards when they read better in a prose form. Also, "awardsandshows.com" is not a RS. Stop performing such edits. Yashthepunisher (talk) 12:26, 29 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Notable awards

edit

Hi there, re: these edits, the world has a serious problem with "award mills". Award mills are fly-by-night organisations that give out awards to anybody who applies, and/or who are just handing out awards to make a few rupees. We should be very careful to only include awards that are notable, and per usual standards, notability is demonstrated when an article has been created on the award, and the article has endured community scrutiny about its notability. "Bollywood Film Journalists Award" has no significant coverage in any reliable source that I'm aware of. There's only one Google News hit and it's a passing mention by Filmibeat. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:41, 8 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Katrina Kaif

You need to be careful with your accusations. I haven't written Kaif's article and my contribution to that article is minimum. If you want to fix mistakes you can do it without leaving (incorrect) accusatory edit summaries. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 11:33, 3 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

WP:PRIMARY

edit

This is not a sound decision. We go with what reliable secondary sources say. We don't swallow figures reported from primary sources like the producer's sister or whatever. Anyone involved in the making of an Indian film has an inherent reason to lie about the the finances. Lower budget means greater profit. Higher budget means less liability to distributors. Higher gross = more marketability! And any budget that clearly includes print and advertising fees should be omitted, since production budget has always equaled the cost of making the film, sans marketing fees.

"Are you Pakistani?"

edit

Regarding this edit summary: I am warning you once and once only not to guess at editors' motivations based on your assumptions about their race. For what it might matter to you I am Canadian of western European descent. I will address your inappropriate edit at 2019 India-Pakistan standoff on that article's talk page. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:32, 1 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

I support Ivanvector's objection. Attempting to set-up some kind of conspiracy or bias argument is never going to go well, and in many cases it's based on paranoia and in more cases (in my opinion) it's based on deflection of responsibility. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:17, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Alert

edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

  Hello, I'm Yamaguchi先生. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Mohit Raina, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 20:33, 26 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

References

Instead of passing unnecessary commentary as you usually do, please focus on formatting references correctly. I shouldn't be cleaning up the mess all the time. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:57, 15 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Krimuk2.0 I think you are little insensitive but the lines such as "He is known to be an ardent fan of Shah Rukh Khan.[1]" is NOT written by me. You yourself wrote Article 15 as his fifth consecutive success so I wrote Dream Girl as his 6th one which is true as per BOI report DarpSinghh (talk) 07:53, 15 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

No. My comment was about "formatting references correctly". Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:58, 15 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
