Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hi, re: this edit, two things:
 * 1 You added "At the end of the theatrical run Sarrainodu became one of the all time highest grossing film in Telugu Film Industry and highest grossing film in Allu Arjun's career." The statement is unsourced, which is a problem, but it's also vague and the vagueness serves to promote the subject. Do you mean that it was the #1 "all-time highest grossing Telugu film"? #3? #50? Everything can be manipulated to be a record if you set the goalposts the right distance away. If it was the 200th highest grossing Telugu film that's not impressive, but "one of the highest-grossing" makes it sound more impressive by being vague. Hopefully you see the problem.
 * 2 We don't use INRConvert in the infobox anymore. This was the result of a discussion at WT:ICTF (you may have to look in the archives). The issues were multiple: 1) We don't need to convert to US dollars. 2) The template creates problems with inflation. A 2009 film that uses this template will have its gross converted from 2009 Indian rupees to 2016 US dollars, which is just confusing. 3) Even if we use the inflation adjustments built into the template, the resulting information clutters up the infobox with three lines of data for each use of the template. Anyhow, community consensus is against the template's usage in the infobox.

Blogs as references
Hi there, with regard to your edits here, we don't use blogs as references, because anyone can start a blog and publish whatever they want. We only care what reliable published sources with established reputations for fact-checking and accuracy have to say about any given subject. That would typically be major newspapers, magazines, (and their online presences,) books, and so on. From my estimation, both of the sources you've used, AndhraBoxOffice and Tollyrevue.com are blogs. I'd encourage you to open a discussion at the Indian cinema task force to get input from other users on whether or not these sources should be used. Until that point though, the content should be excluded from the article unless it can be attributed to a reliable source. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:02, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Please stop adding poorly sourced content, as you did to Thodari. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at List of highest-grossing Tamil films. Diff: And asdlk.tech is a reliable source, how? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:50, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Adding incorrect figures at Shaandaar
Re: these 5 edits, did you double-check any of the changes you made? I'm guessing not because: Please double-check your work. Deliberate incorrect manipulation of financial figures are very common and are almost always the result of vandalism. If you don't want your edits to be perceived as vandalism, please make sure they are consistent with the sources. It's also unclear why you're focusing on nett in the box office section, since box office almost always only relates to money made at the box office, i.e. gross figures. There's nothing at MOS:FILM about nett. Thank you. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 04:46, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) The budget is unsourced despite the very obvious note you ignored that requires a reference here. Please don't add unsourced content.
 * 2) You removed the Estimation template, despite a very obvious note asking that you not remove it. Please don't remove this template again. All Indian film financial figures are estimations, not infallible fact, and the community decided to flag them thusly. See this discussion if you are curious about the background.
 * 3) The gross figure you added in the gross parameter is not consistent with the source you provided. It's off by 11 crore rupees.
 * 4) The nett figure you added is not consistent with the source.
 * 5) The "16.59 crore gross in Overseas market" figure is off by a few hundredths as well.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Bairavaa. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 01:36, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
