Talk:Cinema of India

Content addition
Pyrrho the Skipper and Deepfriedokra, as both you have option add content on this article, I pinged both of you. Please add this line "and in 2021, Telugu cinema became the largest film industry of India in terms of box-office.  ", in the article. The content is sourced. At least try to check article's edit history. I tried to him/her not to remove the already existing, longstanding, sourced content. Even during the addition I clearly mentioned the reason for my edit, but the other user Fostera12 have always reverted it saying that the discussion is going on. I am exhausted and pissed off, as I too have patience, how can I state the reason on every single talk page. If I need to mention every reason, then definitely it would be lengthy. Please look into this issue. As I said earlier, the other user always exaggerate the things. Also, he/she have falsely blamed me for the edits which aren't done by me (for example, see here Talk:RRR (film)). [For more understanding look into these discussions--User talk:DaxServer and User talk:Ab207/Archives/2022/September). Also, don't forget that the user Fostera12 was already blocked once due to his/her edit nature on the article Pan-Indian film. Please resolve this issue or at least add the content, so that I can leave Wikipedia as soon as possible. Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 02:58, 17 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Actually, I have not added content to this page. I have no interest in the content of this page. Behavioral issues should be discussed at ANI. Here they just look like ad hominem fallacy Best -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 03:05, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Deepfriedokra, you are not getting me. I am requesting you to add this line--"and in 2021, Telugu cinema became the largest film industry of India in terms of box-office." including the below mentioned sources. As I don't have edit option here, I am requesting you to add the content, for which I have also mentioned reason supporting my request Jayanthkumar123 (talk) 03:20, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd actually say no to the "and in 2021, Telugu cinema became the largest film industry of India in terms of box-office" based on the three refs you've provided. The Hindu and the India Today analyse the on going pan-India strategies and doesn't verify the claim. Namasthe Telanagana, I'd say that article looks like a run-off-the-mill blog, not to the mention the clickbait title. Do you more reliable sources for the claim? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:59, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Ormax media also reported that Telugu cinema was the biggest Indian film industry during the pandemic years 2020-21. The report is available here with all the data. Business Standard published an article about the same. Ab207 (talk) 12:04, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * In such case, we shall attribute explicitly to the report that "..." as the report wasn't published or discussed (CMIIAW) in other reliable sources thus we can't put it in wiki voice — DaxServer (t · m · c) 10:30, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It was discussed Business Standard article. Also there's no conflicting viewpoint here, IINW. In that case, putting fact as an opinion might be contrary to WP:WIKIVOICE (Uncontested and uncontroversial factual assertions made by reliable sources should normally be directly stated in Wikipedia's voice.) -- Ab207 (talk) 14:30, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * In such cases, should be fine. If there's a contradicting report, then we'll have to see. Until then, I don't see a problem adding it in the Jayanth's format — DaxServer (t · m · c) 16:02, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah. As long as it's clear that the data is valid for these particular years only, there's no issue. -- Ab207 (talk) 16:51, 19 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid you're doing the same mistake again. The refs you're adding doesn't verify the claim. What Ab207 and I discussed is about adding the sentence and a ref that verifies. I wouldn't put the Ormax report directly as we have a secondary RS that is talking about - Business Standard — DaxServer (t · m · c) 19:02, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, DaxServer I have rephrased it as per discussion above. "As of 2021, in terms of box-office, Telugu cinema registered the highest revenue". Also please note that Telugu cinema is not a human being to become something. Please make sure proper language is used in wikipedia. This is not a kindergarten english classroom. The language use should be neutral in tone, and not opinionated. Fostera12 (talk) 05:14, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Hi! I would try to limit the use of some in the beginning when describing the rumors around the first indian film. It brings more skepticism and seems like more rumor than factual information.--Marie Emerson (talk) 05:50, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
