There is a bit of a stink that permeates both of these users' accounts. I recently indeffed DeepakVarma31 because they were not only seeking out really poor references, but they were also manipulating the data they culled from those shitty references to arrive at either higher or lower values depending on whatever narrative they were interested in pushing. I detailed that all on their talk page here in my block explanation.

Most of the sources they were using was bloggy nonsense like telegraphstar.com, oracleglobe.com, etc. And in some cases, they'd just find a different mainstream source and replace the existing content with a value that was closer to what they wanted to be true. Like here they disregard reputable Times of India and instead assert the higher figure supported by reputable The Hans, instead of presenting the discrepancy in the form of a range.

This is similar to what Rithvik Jonnada did here, where they deflated Saaho, a little bit by going with blog Andhra Box Office instead of what Box Office India said, but it is identical to what DeepakVarma31 did, as both inflated Maharishi's gross from 175 crore to 195 crore by disregarding Times of India and slotting in The Hans.

Here Rithvik also jumped Ala Vaikuntapurramloo up to the #4 spot based on this garbage tollywood9.com reference, which indicates a worldwide gross of ₹242.35 crore (2.42 billion rupees), yet Rithvik inflated the value to 252 crore, which is exactly what DeepakVarma31 was doing if you read my warning to him, specifically, he was picking shitty references and then manipulating the figures to support whatever narrative he wants to tell.

Would appreciate if a CU could look into this, please. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:54, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
