Block/Unblock

I just unblocked you. Although you were being disruptive at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/MariaJaydHicky, after further investigation, I can now see how you were provoked by the filer. There's no need for you to post anything further at the SPI. I'm dealing it with now, and in any event, Mario Maraschi is temporarily blocked for their disruption, which was much worse than yours. Thanks for your understanding.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:23, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for understanding. I made a mistake responding negatively to such provocations, which I'll try to avoid next time. Maestro2016 (talk) 20:33, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Mario Maraiki

Why you said this, i have nothing to do with him, so stop please, i'm doing a great work here, and you do it so, so why you want that i have troubles, i don't pretend nothing, but stop with this accusations, do your edits and stop, did you see what my name is? I'm "Just editing with a smile", and also you should just edit with a smile :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Just editing with a smile (talk • contribs) 06:31, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

That depends on whether User:DoRD (or User:Bbb23 when he returns) want to pursue the matter. I was only reporting my suspicions. Maestro2016 (talk) 10:11, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Oh and, now what happens? I wanna be sure that i won't be punished because i didn't do anything wrong--Just editing with a smile (talk) 11:56, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

You might want to ask DoRD about that. Maestro2016 (talk) 12:22, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Gunga Jumna. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. SoniaKovind (talk) 11:27, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Stop adding inflated gross of films as per your own theories. Provide a reliable source, which says that a film has grossed as much. You are selectively adding inflated gross of films of your liking, particularly of Dilip Kumar, without any reliable source to back your claims. Wikipedia requires reliable sources otherwise it is just POV. SoniaKovind (talk) 11:35, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

A reliable source has already been given (Top 50 Film of Last 50 Years, Box Office India, 3 November 2011). The source clearly lists Gunga Jumna as the second highest adjusted grosser. Maestro2016 (talk) 11:43, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

It doesn't say that these are the highest grossing films, it only assumes that these films would have been the highest grossing if the price of gold was standard. Gold prices are not the standard for comparing ticket prices or film's revenues. Gold prices rocketed in 2010 but have been stagnate since last 8 years it means that films revenue will automatically rocket in 2010? SoniaKovind (talk) 11:47, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Here is one more source which says that Sholay is the highest grossing film, should we add it now. The point is that their is no one reliable source which measures inflation adjusted gross, stop adding them selectively, specially which uses gold standard, a non-accepted technique. SoniaKovind (talk) 11:54, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, but that does not look like a reliable source. Maestro2016 (talk) 12:01, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

It is, IBOS is a known source. What is not reliable is using gold standard for box office revenue calculation. SoniaKovind (talk) 12:07, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

The consensus is that IBOS figures are unreliable. Maestro2016 (talk) 12:14, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

The figures of BOI that you have mentioned are not actual figures but hypothetical figures using a non-accepted technique, so can't be added either. SoniaKovind (talk) 12:23, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

It's the only reliable source we have that gives a list of adjusted gross figures for films before the 1990s. If you have an alternative reliable source (not IBOS) with a similar listing for films before the 1990s, then feel free to present it. Otherwise, we'll just have to stick with the BOI list. As for what is the "accepted" or "non-accepted" standard for adjusted gross, that's debatable. Maestro2016 (talk) 12:29, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

It is not about the "source" but content. I repeat again it is not ACTUAL adjusted gross, but a HYPOTHETICAL gross, using gold standard, which is not the norm. We do not have to "stick" with it, their is no compulsion. Unless their is a proper source, their is no need of adding an inflated, adjusted gross. SoniaKovind (talk) 12:35, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Stop adding your POV and deleting meaningful content from the pages, which suits your bias. Wikipedia is suppose to be neutral. Discuss before adding instead of reverting and edit wars. SoniaKovind (talk) 08:05, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Lol...instead of this childish counter warning, use talk page for meaningful discussion. I am aware of reverting and edit-war, I warned you first. SoniaKovind (talk) 08:28, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Warning you again, stop vandalism. Instead of blind reverts a and edit warring use talk page and discuss, you have been warned. SoniaKovind (talk) 08:35, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

I have sent you a warning because your edits and blind reverts are full of POV, are mostly unsourced, and have been persistently disruptive. Maestro2016 (talk) 09:04, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus.

Self-published blogs are not reliable sources for facts

Hello, I'm Worldbruce. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of highest grossing Bangladeshi films, 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. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:41, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Do you know any reliable sources for Bangladeshi box office numbers? Like, for example, Box Office India for Indian box office numbers? Is there anything of the sort for Bangladeshi films? Maestro2016 (talk) 08:20, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

There is no reliable source for Bangladeshi box office numbers overall. Very occasionally a major newspaper will print something about one or two films, which Wikipedia takes at face value if the newspaper generally has a reputation for fact checking and accuracy. The degree to which they are actually able to fact check the box office figures is likely very limited, however. They probably have to rely largely on the producer or distributor of the film, neither of which has a way of verifying the box office take, and both of which have reasons for lying about it. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:38, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

So you're saying there are no reliable sources available that could be used to produce a list of highest-grossing Bangladesh films? Maestro2016 (talk) 18:49, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

The six sources cited in List of highest grossing Bangladeshi films are reliable. With enough effort you might be able to find similar sources for another 3-4 films. But in several years of looking I've never found a reliable source that provides Bangladeshi box office numbers for a large number of films, no Bangladeshi equivalent to Box Office Mojo. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:37, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Original research in the XXXX in film articles

Please stop adding WP:Original research to the XXXX in film article such as you did here. How can you possibly know that Bobby ranks in fourth place if you don't know how much Papillon or The Way We Were made overseas? The reason only the US data is listed is because most of the worldwide data is missing. If the overseas grosses were known for all these film then these lists would include a worldwide chart like at 2017 in film. Composing your own chart is WP:Original research because it is impossible to determine the ranks from the data available. Betty Logan (talk) 01:31, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

The rankings are not original research, but are based on the rankings from this site. As you can see here, the overseas rankings on the site are the same as the ones I've listed, with the addition of Indian films. Maestro2016 (talk) 08:18, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Nevertheless, I think it might be best to remove the ranking columns for the international lists. Maestro2016 (talk) 08:19, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Firts of all WorldwideBoxoffice is a WP:SPS and therefore not a WP:Reliable source, and secondly it is incomplete. In some of the cases the numbers are incorrect and in others it does not have anything registered. Jesus Christ Superstar was a huge film, but that chart simply has "n/a" next to the international figure. Betty Logan (talk) 09:01, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

I realize the data is incomplete, hence why I've removed the rankings column from the tables. If it's not a reliable source, then do you know any other reliable sources for overseas numbers? At the very least, non-American films need to be represented, as the XXXX in film articles currently do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. Maestro2016 (talk) 09:05, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

There is no consistent source for overseas numbers, that is why only the American data is available. Worldwide charts only started in 1989 which is why 1989 in film is the first article to have a worldwide chart. If the data was available for years prior to 1989 then we wouldn't have the US chart we would have worldwide charts like the later articles. Betty Logan (talk) 09:08, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

But why only US charts? Why not also Indian charts, or Soviet charts, or Hong Kong charts, or UK charts? Again, the XXXX in film articles (pre-1989) suffer from a clear US bias, only listing US films (or films that were hits in the US) while excluding films from other nations. Maestro2016 (talk) 09:11, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

I don't actually agree with having the US charts in these articles. I think where possible they should be moved over to the box-office articles such as List of 1989 box office number-one films in the United States. A complete list of box-office articles can be found at Lists of box office number-one films. All the US charts from 1960 onwards should be moved into those articles. Betty Logan (talk) 09:17, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

What about simply listing the highest-grossing film from each country? That should bring some balance to the US-centric nature of the articles. Maestro2016 (talk) 18:48, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

I don't have any objections to that. If that is possible then that is ok, provided it is properly sourced. I still think you've got a tough task though finding non-US information prior to the 1960s; even the UK didn't start proper tracking until 1975. Betty Logan (talk) 22:27, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

I already have data for India and the Soviet Union, but haven't looked into data for the UK yet. Maestro2016 (talk) 05:27, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Copying requires attribution

You copied text from one or more pages into Economy of Bangladesh. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination.

More generally, extensive copying is often a sign of failing to use summary style correctly. With summary style there may be some redundancy between the parent and child articles, but it usually isn't in the form of entire repeated sentences or paragraphs because the articles should be written at different levels of detail.

Attribution must be provided for Economy of Bangladesh, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication as well. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:27, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

The text I copied to the Economy of Bangladesh article is my own work from the Mughal Empire and the Economic history of India articles. Maestro2016 (talk) 22:31, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Sources

Please have a look at WP:HISTRH. Colonial-era history textbooks are obsolete: you should avoid using them as sources, wherever newer scholarly work is available. Several modern books cover the topic of Maratha-era atrocities: please use them as references instead. Quotes from British civil servants like V. A. Smith about the predecessors of the British have no place in Wikipedia articles, unless referenced with commentary in a modern scholarly work.

Also Jeneet Sorokhaibam's Chhatrapati Shivaji is plagiarized from Wikipedia: see Wikipedia:Potentially unreliable sources/Books that plagiarize Wikipedia. utcursch | talk 22:47, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. I'l keep it in mind from now on. Maestro2016 (talk) 23:07, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bazaan, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Notice of potential report to Administrator's noticeboard

Some of your edits to Industrial Revolution and The Great Divergence contain false and misleading statements and some are not in the correct section. Please use the Talk page to discuss edits that are counter to mainstream sources on this topic. Continuing to make controversial or false edits can result in you being blocked from editing these articles.Phmoreno (talk) 17:26, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Where is the complaint? I don't see it anywhere on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Maestro2016 (talk) 19:51, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

@Phmoreno: Will you please link to the complaint. I have looked for it too and cannot find it. Maestro has a right to defend himself. Betty Logan (talk) 20:48, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

@Maestro2016: @Betty Logan: I am going to hold off on filing a complaint until I see if we can work this out. My first impression was that this was a POV problem, but it may be a case of careless treatment of sources and not understanding the leading works on the subject.Phmoreno (talk) 21:09, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Tip

Hi there,

I recommend that you add the relevant quotes from the sources that you cite: see, for example, citation 37 in the Peter Navarro article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Navarro#Views_on_trade). That would make it easier for other editors to review your edits, and could avoid some of the conflicts that you're getting into. I, for instance, had to add quotes in my sources in the Navarro article to reduce edit warring. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 14:23, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind. Maestro2016 (talk) 12:12, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

DYK for List of highest-grossing films in India

On 21 October 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article List of highest-grossing films in India, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Baahubali 2: The Conclusion is the highest grossing film in India, with a domestic collection of over ₹12.53 billion? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/List of highest-grossing films in India. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, List of highest-grossing films in India), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:02, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Surprised to see it on the front page. That's pretty cool. Maestro2016 (talk) 20:07, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Links to years

Hi Maestro, re: this, it would be appreciated if you'd please not create links off of common concepts like a year. All wikilinks compete for reader attention, and generating solid walls of blue, especially for mundane ideas like a year. Nobody's going to read the lead and wonder, "what is this random number 2017?" because everyone that we're talking about a year. And anyway, we typically link to the primary topic, not a tangential idea like "2017 in film". If you want to drive readers to these tangential subjects, we have See also sections for that and various templates. Thanks, and regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:40, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

In that case, I'll remove the year link from the lead. Maestro2016 (talk) 03:41, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Never mind, looks like you've already done it. Maestro2016 (talk) 03:42, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Yep. Did indeed. If you're interested in the guidelines on this, please see WP:OVERLINK. Thanks for your flexibility, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:43, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Burying film reviews

Hi there, re: this, was there a specific reason you reorganized the critical response with positive reviews at the top? This tends to look like we're trying to bury negative response, which would obviously not be consistent with WP:NPOV, since it would tend make the film look like it received largely good reviews. After all, anyone who would read that section would probably just skim through the first few. Perhaps a stronger approach that would promote neutrality, would be to focus on specific aspects like direction, cinematography, acting, writing, and then organise the reviews around those ideas? Ex:

The film's cinematography received attention from critics, several of whom praised the wide sweeping shots used throughout the dance sequences. "Brilliant," said John Doe of ABC Times, who gave the film 3 stars out of 5. "I felt as though I was flying." Rory Sen of DEF Bugle wrote, "I was transported to the crisp verdant hills of Switzerland. The techniques used by Salman Croix were astounding." These sentiments were not felt by Roy Smythe of DEF Times who described the photography as "dizzying ... I thought I was going to throw up. However, the acting was spot on and I found Mamta Bloggs to be believable and adorable." Bloggs' portrayal of the street urchin was described as "hilarious and lovable. I wanted to adopt her. Bloggs had amazing chemistry with Hrithik Jones, who did an excellent job of eliciting tears as the kind-hearted businessman."

At least in this poorly-written example, we avoid top-loading the section with the good reviews. Thanks for your consideration, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:57, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Not sure what the guidelines for film reviews is, but I was arranging it along the lines of Metacritic, which starts with positive reviews at the top, average reviews in the middle, and negative reviews at the bottom. Maestro2016 (talk) 16:42, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Understood, but Indian film articles are notorious targets of promotion, and burying bad reviews at the bottom is a common tactic. (Not implying that's what you're doing.) The obsession with ratings seems to be largely an Indian thing. I don't see a lot of "2/4 stars" "4/5 stars" in well-written articles about Western films. Note: Captain America: Civil War#Critical response, just pulling one off the top of my head. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:23, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

I only just noticed this reply now. I agree that would be a good way to write reviews. But unfortunately, I don't have much experience in writing about the critical reception of movies. And it would require actually reading through all the reviews and understanding them. I'll leave it to other editors to deal with the critical reception stuff. Maestro2016 (talk) 07:54, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

{{INR}}

Hi Maestro, re: this, {{INR}} has a built in linking function. You can activate it thusly: {{INR|link=yes}} This is slightly easier on the eyes than [[Indian rupee|{{INR}}]]. Thanks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:17, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

I see. Didn't notice that. Maestro2016 (talk) 17:50, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Genre

Hey there, re: this, there was nothing personal about my reversion. Indian film articles, for whatever reason, attract a lot of excessive detail about genre, like here where Iru Mugan is described as a "science fiction action psychological thriller film" or this "action comedy-fantasy" or this "supernatural thriller drama film" or this "neo noir action crime thriller film". Anyway, you get the point. Per film MOS, we typically only care about primary genre, and a sub-genre if warranted. But typically we stick with a primary genre, preferably one that the majority of outlets are using to describe the film. Thriller or action would probably fit the bill for a general description, and then any other information that would further clarify the spy themes could be presented in another context. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:33, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

A lot of Indian films tend to be masala films that combine multiple genres. So it sometimes gets difficult to classify them down to a specific genre. Maestro2016 (talk) 20:04, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Box Office details for Madhumati

Hello, I am planning to submit the article Madhumati for a GA review. I do need to expand its box office section for this, but am unable to find any sources for Soviet gross. Do you know of any such sources? Thanks, King Prithviraj II (talk) 21:10, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

I've listed Madhumati's Indian gross at List of highest-grossing Indian films#Highest-grossing films by year. There, I listed it as ₹4 crore (US$8.4 million), and with inflation, US$89 million (₹470 crore). You can see the sources I used there, with the main source being this 1958 list from Box Office India. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any Soviet gross figures for the film. Maestro2016 (talk) 22:04, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Warning

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach a dead end, you can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Geunineart (talk) 07:47, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

You have already been warned by User:Kansas Bear for edit-warring and reverting four times in a row. Your counter "warning" against me is meaningless. If you have any issues with the article, take it to the talk page, instead of edit-warring. Maestro2016 (talk) 14:42, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Problematic sourcing

Hi Maestro2016 In this edit, I reverted the box office data you changed to 630 crore at Bajrangi Bhaijaan. We need to avoid using multiple sources to try to cobble together meaning. We're really walking the line of WP:SYNTHESIS, which states: "Do not combine material from multiple sources (or different parts of one source) to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. This would be improper editorial synthesis of published material to imply a new conclusion, which is original research performed by an editor here." In this case, we're adding one source's proprietary method for estimating gross and adding it to another source's method for estimating gross. Further compounding the problem, was the choice of bollywoodmoviereview.in. What do you know about this website? Who owns it? Who is the editor? What is their background? What makes them an expert in Indian film finances? What reliable sources care what this site thinks? Sourcing 101: We only care what reliable mainstream sources with established reputations for fact-checking and accuracy have to say about anything. I've restored the reference that was in the article circa late-October 2017. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:14, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Point taken about bollywoodmoviereview. However, the overseas figure from IB Times (2017) is more recent than the overseas figure from BOI (last updated early 2016). Isn't it possible to add the older domestic figure from BOI with the newer overseas figure from IB Times for an up-to-date total? WP:SYNTH seems to be referring to textual interpretation, while WP:CALC says calculations don't count as original research, suggesting to me that an addition such as this should be acceptable. Maestro2016 (talk) 00:47, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

I've updated the gross using Bollywood Hungama, so the above probably won't be necessary anymore for the film. However, I still feel it should be acceptable to add domestic and overseas numbers from different sources (which would fall under WP:CALC), since the methodologies for domestic and overseas grosses are very different to begin with. Maestro2016 (talk) 04:31, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

I think it is a risky proposition to use figures from different sources for the reasons I noted above. Each source has its own proprietary methods and since they are all estimations, they are opinions, not facts. Cobbling together opinions from two different methodologies and presenting a conclusive total is really sketchy to me, and that's why I feel that it runs afoul of SYNTH. If you want another opinion, I will always urge you to run this sort of thing past WikiProject Film. The only downside, is that they generally are not as familiar with the problems inherent to Indian film finances. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:15, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

From what I gather, the issue of estimation only really applies to the domestic Indian box office, due to the lack of actual box-office tracking in India, hence much of the domestic figures are derived from estimations. For the overseas box office, however, it is mainly derived from actual box-office tracking in more developed markets like North America, Europe, UAE, China, etc. The issue of estimation is only inherent to the domestic box office, but doesn't really apply to the overseas box office, where the numbers are more firm. In other words, the methodologies for domestic and overseas numbers are entirely different to begin with. The same source would be using two entirely different methodologies for domestic and overseas figures (estimation for domestic and tracking for overseas), so I don't think it would make much difference if we get the domestic and overseas numbers from the same source or different sources. By the way, wouldn't WP:ICTF be a better place to discuss this, since it's more specific to Indian cinema? Maestro2016 (talk) 18:41, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

According to discussions I've seen at Talk:List of highest-grossing films/Archive 2017, it seems the consensus regarding this is that adding numbers from different sources is acceptable under CALC and does not violate SYNTH. For example, here is a comment from User:Betty Logan regarding this issue: "The guideline does not require that the figures must all come from the same source. Indeed, CALC stipulates that the calculation must be a "meaningful reflection of the sources"; therefore the guideline clearly permits us to draw the base data from a range of sources. I think the whole SYNTH issue is distracting from the main issue, because it is my interpretation of CALC that we can take a bunch of numbers from different sources and add them up. The issue here isn't whether we use one source or two sources, but rather how to handle the contradictory information." Maestro2016 (talk) 19:14, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Addressing several points at once:

1. Not sure how you're drawing the conclusion that box office estimate skepticism is mostly centered on Indian domestic when we don't know how international figures are being tallied for Indian films. For all we know, without any benefit of credible transparency, all international figures may be fed to outlets like Forbes bloggers and BoxOfficeMojo interns by producers. That would be interesting, right? Your assertion that overseas figures of Indian films are tracked officially is (thus far) unfounded.
2. As for your invocation of Betty Logan's comment, I do respect Betty's opinions on a great number of issues, but I don't know that the opinion you've quoted was made with any reflection on Indian films, which has a profoundly different set of problems than most western films. Many of our regular film article editors would prefer to not be vexed by the drama of the Indian industry, and maybe they focus more on solutions to films they are interested in.
3. If we were to expose the seediness of Indian film financials by noting that Times of India discontinued box office reporting because of corruption, and if we required respondents to read this detailed LiveMint article, how do you think these people would respond? Is some data untrustworthy, but the bulk of it spot-on? With this knowledge out there, how would you expect people like Betty to respond?
4. Addressing your query "By the way, wouldn't WP:ICTF be a better place to discuss this, since it's more specific to Indian cinema?" No, I don't think it would, because ICTF is essentially a ghost town as far as Indian film discussions go. Attempts to unify the group were largely met with apathy and/or sockpuppetry. There is a fairly silent niche group who edit prolifically in the world of Indian cinema, and who are responsible for turning a great many mediocre articles into Good Articles. They do a fine job collectively, but there is little participation as an open community, and these days I don't know that anything casually run by this WikiProject would result in any responses, let alone changes.

Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:44, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Since I got pinged I feel I better clarify my comments. First of all WP:CALC is not a licence to add WP:SYNTHESIS to articles. The guideline says the calculation must be "obvious" and it is subject to consensus. In the instance I was advocating, we had a bunch of film grosses from two different sources and I was arguing it was acceptable to "add them up" and obtain a franchise total for the table. In other words you can't take the consensus from one debate and apply it to a completely different debate with different data, different sources, and possibly a different context for the calculation. I would need to study the specifics of the data, the sources and the nature of the calculation to determine whether my view still applies in another debate. Betty Logan (talk) 06:55, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

I apologize if I may have misrepresented you in any way. I was just referring to precedents where similar approaches have been used before for film articles. However, point taken that such an approach may not applicable for different situations. Maestro2016 (talk) 07:43, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

While I agree there is corruption when it comes to Indian box office numbers, including the reporting of box office numbers from the media, my point is that overseas box office numbers can at least be verified through third-party trackers. The numbers for China, for example, can be verified through Maoyan and China Box Office, which gives detailed weekly and daily breakdowns of the Chinese box office. Likewise for Box Office Mojo, which does the same for North America, Europe, and Australia. Whereas the domestic Indian market relies mainly on estimates (sometimes subject to producer tampering). That's why I believe overseas numbers are generally more reliable than domestic numbers. However, point taken that the reporting of those overseas numbers may still be subject to corruption, as we saw with Kabali, with the media reporting numbers from producers exaggerating overseas numbers. However, later overseas numbers for the film were lowered as it was possible to verify the producers' claims through independent overseas sources. My point is that different methodologies are being used for different markets. The methodology being used for India especially is very different to the methodologies used for America, Europe or China. That's why I don't see how using one source for overseas and another source for domestic is really all that different to using a single source for both domestic+overseas.

I'd recommend reviewing all the cited sources within the article before you go changing anything. If you have a disagreement with the lede, you should probably take it to the talk page first since most of what you are editing has been discussed previously.

Khabib Nurmagomedov article

Hello, can you edit the Khabib Nurmagomedov article? I can't edit it myself due to page protection. There's misinformation in the "UFC 229 Nurmagomedov-McGregor post-fight incident" section. It says "McGregor was then attacked by two of Nurmagomedov's cornermen, Zubaira Tukhugov and Islam Makhachev." When in fact, Islam Makhachev wasn't even in the cage when Conor was attacked, he was in the crowd trying to help Khabib. The guy in the red shirt that was mistaken for Makhachev is Èsed Èmiragaev (Эсед Эмирагаев in russian), he attacked Conor from behind after McGregor attacked Abubakar Nurmagomedov. Èsed Èmiragaev is Khabibs older friend from childhood that accompanies Khabib everywhere, helps in his camp/other stuff, he also helps Khabibs dad with his MMA school. The strange thing about that is that Esed was very respectful towards Conor in every interview (and humble in general), so it's really unknown why he'd jump into the cage to attack Conor, I guess it's because McGregor punched Abubakar. Anyways, there's almost no information about this guy online, but I gave you a lot of it in this message. By the way, this guy was also involved in Khabib vs. Diaz brawl at WSOF tournament in 2015. Lastly, here's Esed Emiragaev's instagram . I hope this helps and you correct the section, thanks in advance! Dmig2332 (talk) 04:35, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Just to let you know

That doubleday book you use as a cite is full of misinformation. Just reading the text alone. "By the late 1970's Toho was making 2 films a year". If that applies to Godzilla then yeah its wrong. Toho stopped making Godzilla films by the mid-70s (1975) and the only time they made 2 Godzilla films in one year was 1964.Giantdevilfish (talk) 17:20, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

I believe what it meant to say was "releasing" or "localizing" rather than "making". The localized Godzilla movies were releasing in North America in the late 1970s. If you interpret the word "making" as either "releasing" or "localizing", then the information in the book is accurate. Also, Doubleday is a reliable publisher. Maestro2016 (talk) 17:30, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

What are the citations that Edelson uses? Doubleday might be a reliable publisher but that doesn't mean that the writer is reliable. I've encountered many misinformation's by authors in books published by reliable publishers. In The Japanese Fantasy Film Journal it was stated that Godzilla vs Gigan made just over $2 million worldwide and that Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla made $2.8 million worldwide. Maybe Edelson meant to say $2 million rather than $20 million because $20M would be extraordinary for films that got limited releases in The U.S (with the exception of Megalon) and only played in a handful of International markets across Europe and Latin America.Giantdevilfish (talk) 17:45, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

If you have a citation for The Japanese Fantasy Film Journal source which gives those numbers, we could use that instead of the Edelson source. He didn't specify which late-1970s releases he was referring to specifically, but it probably could've just been Megalon he was referring to. Maestro2016 (talk) 18:00, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

DB Manga Figures

The News and others Sources provided are report from Toei Animation part owner of Dragon Ball IP and Shueisha the publisher of Dragon Ball and the 230-240 million copies world wide (2012 - 2016) directly comes from them. and other major sources supports the figure.

If you want to directly dispute the accuracy of those sources's reporting, then either take it to the reliable sources notice board or to WikiProject Anime and manga. However, until then, we must go with the figure that is directly stated by the source, which is the publisher/owner, as the official figure. Thank you.

619XXXX (talk) 11:39, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Your sources are third-party sources, some of which are WP:QUESTIONABLE. Where did Toei or Shueisha directly say it sold 250 million worldwide? Maestro2016 (talk) 11:42, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Also, the Japanese Wikipedia article on Dragon Ball has a regional breakdown of sales figures from various countries across the world, and they add up to 280 million official sales that can be accounted for (or 380 million including Chinese pirate copies). The 250 million number is clearly too low or out-of-date. Maestro2016 (talk) 11:54, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Same japanese wikipedia states 250 million as official figure but just says the sales is around 280 million by local publisher sources.619XXXX (talk) 11:58, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Many major sources cites this figure which is consistent with the official figure

• • The 350 Million figure source from 2008 and recent sources are inconsistent and contradicts with the official figures

Personally i believe the figure is around 250-300 million

and till (2012 to 2016: 230 million), (2016 to 2018: 240 - 250 million) considering DBS anime started and peaked this period which kinda justifies the figure

and it is said this official November 2018 book from Shueisha cites 250 million worldwide but sadly its inaccessible for free

DRAGON BALL Shonen Jump Magazine Best Scene Top 10 (Shueisha Mook)

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-2292571

Thank you:-) 619XXXX (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for understanding and being willing to compromise. I have also made a similar update to the Dragon Ball article, noting that the full range of estimates given range from 250 million to 350 million. I'm not sure if the Shonen Jump magazine itself really does give that 250M figure, but if it does, then it's worth noting that most of the copies sold overseas are licensed to third-party publishers, so Toei or Shueisha may not have the information of how much is being sold by those third-party publishers. I would personally peg the total at around 300 million, keeping in mind the 280 million the Japanese Wikipedia added up from local publisher sources in various countries, and that the overall figure would be slightly higher when considering other countries that haven't been accounted for. Assuming Toei/Shueisha really did say 250M, that may only be referring to copies sold directly by them, not necessarily copies sold by licensee third-party publishers. Maestro2016 (talk) 12:39, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Well Toei/Shueisha does give figures for other manga like One Piece, we can't just assume what they refer to is directly sold or overall. So its good to stick with the official figures. 619XXXX (talk) 12:54, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

I haven't noticed any such contradictions for other manga such as One Piece, whereas there are such contradictions for Dragon Ball. The overseas distribution of Dragon Ball is a mess, licensed to various different local publishers who publish the comics independently from Toei/Shueisha, and there's no indication those local publishers are reporting back to them. Either way, the Japanese Wikipedia added up the local publisher figures and they came up to 280 million, so I would argue that's much closer to the actual number sold. Toei could also just be saying more than 250 million, which would mean anywhere between 250-300 million, as you mentioned. Maestro2016 (talk) 13:01, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

We cannot use those figures based on Japanese Wikipedia which is series of disjointed links that do not directly state 280M, and as you said the overseas distribution of Dragon Ball is a mess, so relying on official figures is reasonable. 619XXXX (talk) 13:23, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

According to WP:RS, reliable secondary sources are preferable over primary sources. And among reliable secondary sources, the numbers vary from 250M to 350M, so it would be best to give a full range of 250-350M, as mentioned previously. Maestro2016 (talk) 13:45, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

The 350M Bogus claim sources most of them are from December 2008, one from 2014 (cites 2008 figure) and the recent source you posted is from Jan 2019, The fact that this number has remained same for the last 11 years is easily WP:QUESTIONABLE and doesn't follow WP:RS AGE. so they are not WP:BALANCED and contradict with many major secondary sources and primary sources which are consistent. 619XXXX (talk) 14:27, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

and On a side note that Jan 2019 source also states $23 billion franchise, the figure $23 billion was DB's figure in List of highest-grossing media franchises, which are just mostly estimation entered by users like us (WP:NOTSOURCE), there is no other source claiming that. so this makes this source more and more WP:QUESTIONABLE and WP:NOTRELIABLE. 619XXXX (talk) 17:02, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

I suggest whatever our personal beliefs maybe, we should just use 250M or as you cited need to get all the reliable sources from Japanese wiki of local publisher info which are mostly approximate figures, then need to cite both sources and state the figure range as 250M-280M, which seems more sensible. 619XXXX (talk) 17:16, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

After looking more into Japanese sources, it appears the 350M figure was reported by Toei and Shueisha at the 2009 Tokyo International Anime Fair (see here and here). In other words, Toei are contradicting themselves. It does not look like Toei actually knows how many copies are sold worldwide, but are giving estimates. But instead of giving a full range of estimates, Toei are staying on the safe side for now and simply reporting "more than 250 million" which could mean anything above 250 million. Alternatively, it's possible the higher 350M number may include unofficial pirated copies, since Japanese Wikipedia notes more than 100 million unofficial pirated copies were sold in China and Korea. Either way, I think the most reasonable solution would be to translate the Japanese Wikipedia list of official numbers sold in various countries and give 280M as the total number sold, while at the same time mentioning in a note that both primary and secondary sources have given numbers ranging from 250M to 350M. Maestro2016 (talk) 19:44, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

I have now copied and translated the sales table from Japanese Wikipedia to the Dragon Ball article. Feel free to have a look and let me know what you think. Maestro2016 (talk) 21:16, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

As a compromise, I have lowered the range of estimates down to 250-300 million. Feel free to let me know what you think, so we can settle this issue. Thanks. Maestro2016 (talk) 22:00, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Since it turns out 619XXXX is a sockpuppet, and has been indefinitely blocked, it looks like the comprimise is no longer necessary. Since the local publishers' numbers clearly show the manga sold at least more than 280 million, I am changing the worldwide estimate back to 300-350 million. Maestro2016 (talk) 04:21, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Whoa, wait am not a sockpuppet and I use alternative account for different purposes, now i have been forced to use only one account for everything. even if i was a sockpuppet I don't understand why you are trying to disregard the compromise that you have already accepted, you are losing your credibility.

anyway back to the topic

Okay, now we can easily say 350M claim is just Circular reporting WP:CIRCULAR from 2008, and its just toei and its been 11 years but since then and there are have been many other primary and secondary sources which are consistent and supported with figures claimed by Shueisha and Toei which is 230M->240M->250M. so anyway you see those 350M reports doesn't follow WP:RS AGE and can't be used as source in the articles. and we also cannot use pirated copies sales WP:NOTRELIABLE, we can just make small reference side note as it was did in that japanese wiki. for example in Top selling books list, there is one book with given range of 100M to 300M as per primary and secondary sources but in a small reference note it says 'one source states the pirated copy sales is 1 Billion'. so to be rational we can only use the range 250M-280M, we can't just assume it to be 250M-300M or like the change you made 300M-350M which makes no sense when you yourself cite 280M, so stop pushing your opinions which could be interpreted as vandalism and also as per WP:RSC, Include that November 2018 book from Shueisha which cites 250 million worldwide as source (DRAGON BALL Shonen Jump Magazine Best Scene Top 10 (Shueisha Mook) [1] and lets comprimise with that, be rational and and revert your changes. Wiki KuthiVaiyans (talk) 06:32, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

As per WP:REVERTBAN, it is recommended for edits made by sockpuppets of banned users to be reverted (usually as a way of discouraging sockpuppetry). However, if you are not a sockpuppet of a banned user, then we can continue our discussion. As for the discussion, the local publisher sources clearly demonstrate the bare minimum sold worldwide to be more than 280 million. So I don't find the 250 million number to be plausible, since it contradicts the bare minimum number we get when adding up the regional sales figures. Which means the most likely figure would be around 300M. Nevertheless, I don't mind comprimising and going back to stating 250-300 million. Maestro2016 (talk) 06:53, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

The problem with 280M local publisher report is just collection of disjointed links, it does not directly state 280M.

250M is supported with WP:RS AGE and primary and secondary sources

280M is not the best WP:RELIABLE source, but worthy of a note, that's why we should give 250M-280M

meanwhile 350M & pirated copies as said above its clearly WP:NOTRELIABLE and 350M doesn't follow WP:RS AGE, remember its a 11 years old source, be rational. and you keep saying 300 million, when its just your assumption. we can't assume and decide these infos.

so yeah, understand that and use 250M-280M as the figure. Wiki KuthiVaiyans (talk) 07:10, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

As stated above, Toei and Shueisha themselves reported 350M back in 2009. And there are many reliable secondary sources reporting 300-350 million between 2008 and 2019. You can't just pick-and-choose which RS sources to accept and which to reject, so the best solution would be to give a range of estimates. And the best way to determine which RS sources are closer to the actual number is to do a WP:CALC and add up the regional figures to determine a total figure, which gives 280M+. From this, we can determine that the most likely actual figure is around 280-300 million. Which would be right in the middle between the lower-end source figures (250M) and higher-end source figures (300-350M). Also, the numbers given in the sources are 250M, 300M and 350M, so the range would have to be either 250-300M, 300-350M, or 250-350M. In other words, it makes logical sense to give a 250-300M range. Maestro2016 (talk) 07:19, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

As per WP:RS AGE, those 2008 source can't be used even if it was toei since they have been changed the report after that been consistent for past 11 years and supported by many primary and secondary sources, and you say 2008-2019 ? when they are clearly just circular reporting like that 2014 book source (which cites 2007 here, clearly doesn't follow WP:RS AGE) and that 2019 source is clearly WP:NOTRELIABLE as concluded above based on its report about $23 billion franchise figure and even after 11 years reported as 350M? again doesn't follow WP:RS AGE, so stop citing that 2019 source or any other 11 year old source which are clearly inconsistent.

so as per WP:CALC, 250-280M range is the meaningful reflection of the acceptable sources.

and again as per WP:PAYWALL and WP:RSC you can also include that November Shueisha 2018 book from which cites 250 million worldwide as source (DRAGON BALL Shonen Jump Magazine Best Scene Top 10 (Shueisha Mook) [2] Wiki KuthiVaiyans (talk) 07:48, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

You're completely misinterpreting WP:RS AGE. Nowhere does it say newer sources cannot use older data. The point of the guideline is that newer sources can analyze older data and give an updated interpretation of the older data, not that newer sources cannot use older data. For example, when a contemporary historian analyzes older evidence and gives a modern interpretation of the older evidence. That's the point of the RS AGE guideline. Either way, you can't just pick-and-choose which sources to accept or reject based on your own personal opinion. There are numerous recent sources from the 2010s which give 300-350 million, e.g. this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, etc. This is just from a quick search, and we could find plenty more sources. 300-350 million are widely reported figures, so you can't just disgregard them just because you prefer the lower-end 250 million number. Also, the 280M is the bare minimum, since many of the local numbers are incomplete, not up-to-date, and state more than the numbers given. The total actual number is more than 280 million, hence why 280-300 million is the most accurate range of what was actually sold. However, I'm willing to compromise and just settle on 250-300 million, as mentioned above. Also, it's much easier and simpler to reference 250-300M, since there are numerous sources directly stating 300M+, whereas 250-280M would require referencing a very large number of local sources and adding them up to get 280M, which would be needlessly complicated. 250-300 million would be the easiest and simplest solution. Maestro2016 (talk) 08:31, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

as i said stop citing that 2019 source, which is WP:NOTRELIABLE, can you explain that source's figure of $23 billion franchise? and am not misinterpreting WP:RS AGE, its says 'new information, new discoveries or developments', there is no developments or new information in those 350M sources for the last 11 years, which makes it obviously to be unreliable. that said 230M->240M->250M is the bare minimum which is strongly supported from latest sources from both primary and secondary sources and 280 is just accumulated number, nowhere does any source directly state 280M, hence why 250-280 million is the most accurate range. (and you can reference a very large number of sources or just make 'see' note, this should not be a reason to not use those source)

anyway I am kinda exhausted now, we may need to resolve this later with WP:THIRDOPINION/WP:RSN, so for now I'm willing to settle on 250-300 million. Thank you Wiki KuthiVaiyans (talk) 09:00, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding false grosses to the Dragon Ball pages please. They were correct as they were and now they need to be corrected again. You're putting a Japanese gross through a currency exchange and that is not how that works at all. Thanks.Scabab (talk) 02:17, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

As I already explained in the edit summary: "None of those cited sources report a complete final gross. Only the Toei source gives a complete final gross. Also, it's a Japanese film, so the gross should be given in yen." ¥7.7 billion is the correct complete figure given directly by Toei, whereas your $64.8 million number is an incorrect number not stated by any sources, but is just an incomplete number added up from multiple sources. Maestro2016 (talk) 07:43, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

The Toei gross does not give a complete final gross because the article was published before the movie even released in China. You're taking the ¥7.7 billion figure and putting it through an exchange rate site for the time the article was made. It does not work that way in the slightest, that is extremely inaccurate.

The $64.8 million gross is explained on Resurrection F's talk page. It is what all the grosses add up to.

Box Office Mojo reported it's international gross at $53.76 million as of 9/23/15. After this date it was reported at making $300,000 in Germany, $280,000 in UK, $150,000 in South Korea, $290,000 in Spain and $1.6 million in China to give an international gross of $56.4 million. With the domestic gross it's made $64.8 million. This is what the gross adds up to across multiple sources. The $70 million figure you're putting is just an incorrect figure you're getting through an exchange rate that's not even including China into it.Scabab (talk) 03:56, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

1. If Toei's gross is before the China release, then you can add the China number onto it, not subtract it.
2. According to MOS:FILM#Box office: "Provide a summary of the film's commercial performance (box office grosses), denominated in the film's national currency". And according to WP:CURRENCY: "In country-specific articles, use the currency of the country. On first occurrence, consider including conversion to US dollars, euros, or pounds sterling, at a rate appropriate to the context." In other words, the box office gross should ideally be given in Japanese yen (since it's a Japanese film) and then converted to US dollars.
3. How do you know your $64.8M number is what "all the grosses" add up to? That's a huge assumption on your part. BOM does not have access to all of the global up-to-date numbers from all possible international markets. And BOM doesn't even have a single gross figure available for the film, but its numbers for the film are a mess, split across two separate pages. In comparison, Toei's ¥7.7 billion figure is directly attributable to a single source. Also, your $64.8M number is not adequately explained in the article itself. It's not good enough to explain it in the talk page, but the article itself needs to explain it, either in the "Box office" section or in an EFN note.
4. And finally, this edit you made is completely inappropriate. You just changed the number without even bothering to WP:CITE any sources. The source currently in the article states ¥7.7 billion, not the $64.8M number you're trying to push. But if you are going to push that number, then at least make an attempt to update the source to reflect that number, instead of just lazily changing the number without bothering to cite the sources for that number.

Maestro2016 (talk) 04:57, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Except that isn't how it works and goes against the reported figures that were announced for the movie. It making $70 million is just a plain incorrect figure. Going by your method of doing things, it accounts for Resurrection F having grossed $34 million in Japan. It never made that amount, it was reported at doing $31 million, so that's already giving it an extra $3 million that it never made.

This is all explained on the Resurrection F talk page and the sources are given there and on the article page. The last International gross officially reported was $53.76 million. It was released in several countries after this date and their grosses were officially reported and where added on to the last overall gross given. Some of these are mentioned on the Box Office Mojo pages under Resurrection F and Fukkatsu No F, even the website The Numbers. It's awkward but these are actual bonafide reported figures with sources to back them up. Your $70 million is just what you got after plugging ¥7.7 billion into some exchange rate website.Scabab (talk) 08:43, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Like I said, BOM and The Numbers do not have all the up-to-date numbers on all markets. BOM and The Numbers sometimes have outdated numbers for certain markets, as they occasionally stop tracking certain markets for certain films. Also, the Japanese box office never reports its numbers in dollars, but always gives its numbers in yen. The Japanese box office reported its number as ¥3.74 billion. Any dollar amount given for the Japanese market is a currency conversion, not what the Japanese box office itself reported. Both $31M and $34M are what you get from plugging in the yen amounts into a currency convertor, according to your own logic. And finally, you cannot just reference the talk page, but the article itself needs to explain where your number came from. You can't just expect readers to go to the talk page, but the article page itself should provide an explanation of how you came up with your $64.8M number. Or else, it would just look like WP:SYNTH (rather than WP:CALC). You may want to consider using EFN notes or #expr tags to show how you worked out $64.8M in the article. Maestro2016 (talk) 13:07, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if they're not up to date, they are official reported numbers. It is what the movie was reported to have grossed. Resurrection F was reported to have grossed $31 million, not $34 million. That is not what Box Office Mojo or The Numbers converted it to, that is what they were given. Your figure was never reported in anyway, is utterly false and something that you alone came up with by using a currency conversion site, just like how Broly might convert to $35.2 million but that is not what was reported.Scabab (talk) 01:04, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

The official reported number is 7.7 billion yen. There is no official reported dollar number. The $64.8M number is something editors got from adding up numbers in multiple sources, not what has officially been reported. The only officially reported number is 7.7 billion yen. It should either be left as 7.7 billion yen, or the dollar amounts should be given as a range of estimates. Maestro2016 (talk) 01:09, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

And from that ¥7.7 billion, no accurate dollar amount can be given, any number that would be used is incorrect. The $64.8 million figure, is the combined sum of the multiple reported figures, they might have been added together by editors but the figures can all be sourcedand are official. Of course that wouldn't actually be it's exact total gross, just like no other movies listed gross is exact but that is what was reported of it. You can't give a range, only what was officially reported for it.Scabab (talk) 01:24, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Flop

Hi there, re: this please avoid hyperbolic language like "flop" or "hit" or "blockbuster" or "super-hit" or "failure" or "disaster" or any of that stuff. Most quality articles do not try to label everything. For perspective, even though Rotten Tomatoes labels failures as "rotten", we virtually never use that labeling, because it's not only non-neutral, but it places an undue emphasis on the hyperbolic opinion of one source. Keep it neutral, please. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:56, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

I didn't add the word "flop", but was toning-down what was already stated in the article, from "biggest flop" (which is an exaggeration) to "box office flop". Nevertheless, thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind. Maestro2016 (talk) 05:19, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

T-Series

Hey there, re: this edit from 2017, I've somehow gotten dragged into defending your claim that T-Series engaged in piracy early in its inception. A user DecstarG complained on the talk page recently that they couldn't access the source you provided. In good-faith, in these edits, I tried to update the link you included by citing the actual published page (20) instead of the Google Books link. I also added a relevant quote from that link and then I added three other references, including a fairly large quotation that seemed to summarise clearly the various methods T-Series used to establish a money-making foothold.

Thanks for your work

HI!. You appear to be normalizing the dates in Template:Semiconductor manufacturing processes. Thanks! May I ask what your criterion is? Whatever it is, it's almost certainly better than the vague "pick some random one of the dates in the article" that we had been using. If you are comfortable with your criterion, I would appreciate it if you could please document it on the doc page of the template so that other editors will not be tempted to change the dates. -Arch dude (talk) 01:58, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

My general criterion is roughly the year in which the process began commercial production. Particularly in terms of memory chips. Most of the processes appear to have first been used for memory chips, before they were later used for CPUs. So I've pushed the dates back to the years in which the memory chips began production with those processes. Maestro2016 (talk) 02:03, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Excellent choice. For all the early nodes, the size was the half-pitch of a memory cell, so memory makes the most sense. Does each article actually have a reference for the "year in which the process began commercial production of memories? If not, can we find these references? Do you wish to modify the template documentation or shall I? -Arch dude (talk) 02:53, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Spirited Away

Hello, Regarding Spirited Away, the best source i found is someone who know a lot about the Japanese box office and he went and calculated the gross for the movie and with the weekly dollar-yen exchange and it was 249M usd(http://worldofkj.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2240975#p2240975), Spirited Away didn't stay in theaters after 2002 and didn't have any big re-release and the BOM is only wrong in exchange rate so i think going with 249 is the best choice, what do you think ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AIGA997 (talk • contribs) 14:52, 30 June 2019 (UTC) AIGA997 (talk) 14:57, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Like the user says, BOM's number is all wrong. It doesn't have any tracking before 2002, and its 2002 numbers don't even add up. While the forum's $249M number for Japan is an improvement over the BOM number, we can't cite an online forum as a source. I think the best solution would be to take the Japanese gross of ¥30.8 billion and convert it at the average 2001 exchange rate, which gives us $253 million, which is very close to the $249M number calculated on the forum.

Federico's article

Since you know so much about the history, you might consider working on the Federico Faggin article, which is mostly over-polished by a dedicated IP editor. I tend to avoid it since he's my ex-boss. Dicklyon (talk) 20:38, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. Dicklyon (talk) 02:00, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

No problem. That's probably all I can do for now, as I'm only familiar with Faggin's work on the SGT and the Intel & Zilog processors. BTW, I just realized you were one of the inventors of the optical mouse. Thanks! Maestro2016 (talk) 02:19, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Passivation

I saw you are doing good work to the passivation article. If you would like, I can try to make time to setup a better photo than the one I included on the page. I have citric and nitric acid to work with, and can do a variety of concentrations and lengths of time. I can also try to induce a passivation failure if higher quality photos are needed there. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with in that regard. I also would not be hurt at all if you do not like the photo I included in the article and you removed it. Kees08 (Talk) 07:25, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

That sounds like a good idea. If you want, then sure, you can go ahead and post the photo. I have no issues with it. Maestro2016 (talk) 20:01, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

Anything in particular? I suppose I can clean three pieces of metal the same way, leave one unpassivated, passivate one in citric, and passivate one in nitric, if that works. Kees08 (Talk) 20:43, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

I guess? I'm not too sure, to be honest. I'm only familiar with the surface passivation process by thermal oxidation, used for silicon semiconductors in the electronics industry. Other than that, I'm not too familiar with other types of passivation. I think I'll leave it to your discretion what you think the best approach might be.

The Raid 2

There was no error when I added it. The error was due to a recent change in Template:To USD, which I previously added to the article. Maestro2016 (talk) 16:55, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Ah, I see. If they're not changing the rules they're breaking the templates. Please also note MOS:SMALLFONT. Avoid using smaller font sizes in elements that already use a smaller font size, such as Infoboxes. -- 109.76.134.165 (talk) 20:58, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Your recent edits for “Katie Hopkins”!were removed again. For a start, excessive references and citations are not allowed on an article, especially in the introduction. 3 sources are enough and maximum. Far rights commentator is stated in introduction already, no need to put it in first sentence as a career as it is a summary and not her main profession. Too much wording in first sentence with your edit. If you want this changed then please do not change it again and instead start a discussion in the “talk” section on the article.

INAS

Disambiguation pages

Please note that disambiguation pages like INAS are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
• Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
• Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
• Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory
• Do not add articles to acronym or initials disambiguation pages unless the person or entity is widely known by that name (in which case it should be stated in the linked article).

Timeline

Do you know if it is possible to create a timeline of highest-grossing anime films Fanoflionking 08:45, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

It's plausible for the Japanese box office (in yen). But not sure if it's plausible for the worldwide office (in dollars). Maestro2016 (talk) 12:36, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

I think we go back as far as possible with worldwide gross than just mention that “until year X only Japanese gross are reported after year X foreign gross started to be reported and film X is the first film to out gross film Y” Fanoflionking 12:55, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Worldwide box office is tricky. You could give it a shot. But I think it would be a lot easier to just stick to the Japanese box office. One way around it could be to report the worldwide box office starting from 1997, when worldwide numbers (in dollars) started being reported for Princess Mononoke. While for films prior to 1997, only report the Japanese box office figures (in yen). Maestro2016 (talk) 12:59, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

details

It seems that some others find too much detail being added to articles that are not supposed to have that much detail. I also slightly wonder about WP:COI, though in many other cases I have not noticed it when others did. Could you say a little bit about what you actually do that might be CoI? In most cases, there are more specific article where the details might apply. Gah4 (talk) 00:58, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

There is no COI. I just have a strong interest in the topic, and in the technical details. If you feel there's too much detail in the article, then feel free to suggest what you think should be trimmed down. Maestro2016 (talk) 01:06, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

For now, I suggest looking over the article and seeing what level of detail is used. When the article covers over 100 years of history, there can be very little detail without it becoming a book. As a specific example, but only an example, I don't believe that AAC needs to be indicated and even DCT is likely too much. Gah4 (talk) 01:49, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Hardy Daytona

I see that you have found a lot of sources about FFVII's materials. There is something that I've been looking and it's possible design or promotional information regarding Cloud's Hardy Daytona. According to the wiki, it's a direct reference to a real brand known as Harley Davidson. However, I can't find anything about other than merchandising. There is material about Cloud's bike from the Compilation bikes, Fenrir, so I wondered if any magazine explained something about the Daytona considering how it was a given a minigame for the cellphones.

Your revert on The Lion King

Hi Maestro2016, you stated in your edit summary here that you were undoing two edits by User:Ottoshade, but based on this edit, I take it that you were trying to undo my edit as well. In the future, please make sure that you clearly identify all of the edits that you're targeting when you revert a page to an earlier version. --Drevolt (talk) 04:04, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

I had assumed your "undue weight" claim was based on Ottoshade's edits, which had deleted a large chunk of content and reduced that section down to a single short paragraph. Is there any other reason for your claim about it being "undue weight"? Also, as mentioned in my recent edit summary: "As per WP:FILMLEDE, the lede should cover controversies. The Kimba controversy is by far the most notable controversy surrounding this film." Maestro2016 (talk) 04:29, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Fair enough, that makes sense. As far as your question is concerned: While major controversies can and should be covered in the lead of articles, the Kimba controversy is relatively obscure in the grand scheme of things, which the quality of sources in the Kimba controversy section attests to. As I'm sure you know, the fact that it's worth covering somewhere in the article does not necessarily mean that it merits being covered in the lead. In the interest of seeking consensus though, I'm willing to leave it in the lead for now. This might be something worth bringing to the talk page though. --Drevolt (talk) 05:35, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia

Thanks for identifying the source of the material in your edit.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that you need to be crossed.S Philbrick(Talk) 18:02, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
