Disruptive edits on Devdas
You must stop your Disruptive edits on Devdas at once. You alone are nobody to decide which sources are most appropriate or accurate for box office figures. WP:ICTF shows the sites which can be used as source in Indian film articles. Even among them, Box Office India is considered most reliable one. 'The "Bollybusiness" source you are providing is a random unreliable source which provide Nett gross figures'' and even those figures are incorrect. On the other hand in Wikipedia film articles, we have to mention total worldwide gross (Nett gross + Distributor Share) and not only nett gross.''' You are a complete idiot if you are mentioning this source to be more reliable than "Original Box Office India" sources. Moreover, you don't know how to properly interpret sources. You also have misinterpreted the "Bollybusiness" source defined by yourself. '''Even this source nowhere mentioned Devdas's gross as ₹360 million. It mentions Devdas's Worldwide Nett gross as ₹61.5 crore and separately mention Distributor share as ₹36 crore in brackets (Nett gross is exclusive of Distributor's share and is obtained by subtracting Distributor's share from total gross.That's why it is called NETT gross). Adding these two (61.5 cr + 36 cr), we get total worldwide gross, i.e. ₹96.5 crore which is near to the BOI figures of ₹99.87 crore.''' Moreover, this "BolyBusiness" source is not appropriate for use on the article as it is a personal or group blog and such blogs are never accepted as sources in Wikipedia. Wikipedia accepts only reliable newspaper and magazine blogs written by professionals. See Reliable sources.

That archive you were pointing to as a source of BOI was outdated and under-detailed. There is no need to use any under-detailed archive as source when we have original source of BOI which are precisely detailed. If you have special grudges against this film, then Wikipedia is not the platform for venting out your frustration. Only figures as per original sources from BOI site will be mentioned on this article.

Earlier, there were dead links in box office section of Devdas but all of them have been repaired now. Now, all sources are reliable and verifiable. So, don't repeat your vandalising edits. That another IP who first made the edit was perhaps you. This is your last and final warning. Next time, you repeat this Vandalism, you may get blocked from editing.

Stop your disruptive edits
This is is your last and final warning. Despite of my detailed explanation and warning in previous message, you are continuing Vandalism in Devdas. How many times I will have to tell you that the BOI archive you are pointing to again and again is outdated and under-detailed. BOI updates gross figures on its original site. And the figures you are inserting in Box Office gross isn't matching with any of the source. You don't know difference between Total gross and nett gross. If you continued vandalism next time, you may get blocked without further warning. Vibhss (talk) 10:40, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

No personal attacks
Hi, I'm an administrator on the English Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a collaborative environment and civility is required. If you can't edit without calling someone an idiot as you've done here in your edit summary, then you should find another hobby. When an edit you've made is reverted, the burden is yours to open a discussion on the article's talk page to seek consensus for inclusion, not to resubmit the content and call the opposing editor an idiot. Additionally, blogs are insufficient for inclusion as references. If you are citing a web archive of Box Office India, then you should cite that archive, not drive traffic to someone's blog. Please leave the current version the way it is and open a discussion on the article's talk page to discuss the financial matters with Vibhss. Nobody's going to die if the financial data is off. It is worth noting that the financial values change a bit in the BOI archive. The nett gross here is different from the nett gross here and in the latter example, the gross has disappeared entirely. And, BOI might be adjusting for inflation here. That would be problematic if they are not disclosing that, because it creates problems for Wikipedians to use inflation adjusted gross values in the infobox when we don't do that in other film articles. It is also important to note that NO financial data in Indian cinema is 100% trustworthy. Fighting over absolutes is a fruitless pastime. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:47, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
