Highest Grossing Tamil films[edit]

What must I do on the page? If it is expanding the content, please provide me with reliable refs. Kailash29792 (talk) 10:45, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

April 2016[edit]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Theri (film), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Diff: [1] In this edit you removed the {{Estimation}} template which is wrapped in very clear instructions not to remove it. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:28, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:FILM, Template:Infobox film, etc[edit]

Hi there, I think I did a pretty good job of explaining my recent reversions of your changes at Kabali (film), but some of my explanation got cut off in my edit summary. Per MOS:FILM, Soundtrack is considered *secondary content* and doesn't belong at the top of the article. I also reverted your language addition in the infobox, because it contravenes Template:Infobox film, which states:

Release dates should therefore be restricted to the film's earliest release, whether it was at a film festival, a world premiere, or a public release, and the release date(s) in the country or countries that produced the film, excluding sneak previews or screenings. If other release dates are found to be notable, it may be appropriate to include them in the main body of the article.

Since the film was released in India first, the film's nation of origin, only one value belongs in this field, the Indian release date. There is no provision for listing language releases in this field.

If you intend to edit film articles you really should familiarize yourself with the Manual of Style for film as well as the Template:Infobox film instructions, as these guidelines represent widespread consensus for how film articles should be written. Any deviations from these guidelines would require you to seek local consensus via discussion on the article's talk page. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:58, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:FILM - Soundtrack again[edit]

Re: your edits here, again, soundtrack is considered secondary content and belongs under the primary content. We are not here to sell albums. Please follow the Manual of style for film articles, as it represents community consensus. Any deviation without first establishing a local consensus, will result in your editing privileges being interrupted. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:20, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Inflation calculations in infobox[edit]

Hi there, re: this edit, we do not perform inflation calculations in the infobox. There's no provision for it at Template:Infobox film, and it just clutters up the infobox with needless information. The {{INRConvert}} template itself is problematic when used in the infobox. There's an open discussion at WT:ICTF about this if you wish to participate. Thanks.

July 2016[edit]

Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Nanban (film).

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Diff: [2] As previously noted, we do not perform inflation calculations in the infobox. See also this conversation at the Indian Cinema Task Force, where consensus leans toward not using {{INRConvert}} in the infobox at all. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:03, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced summaries of critical response[edit]

Hi there, please don't summarise a film's critical response as you did here without attributing that summary to a specific voice. See MOS:FILM instructions. The problems are severalfold: If I like a film, I might consciously or unconsciously cherrypick reviews, then summarise that selection as positive. This is confirmation bias. Similarly, if I like a film, I might cherrypick reviews that support my point of view, then you might come along and summarise the biased selection of reviews that I picked. In either event, we are open to bias, which is not consistent with our goals as a neutral encyclopedia. Please let mainstream sources decide what the overall response was. Thank you.
