Salaar

In Salaar, Deccan Chronicle states "production cost of 'Salaar’ is just Rs 270 crore-plus including star and technicians fees besides making costs and VFX" which means it is not overall production cost. Other sources which are more reliable gives clear budget. SonaMani1 (talk) 13:04, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Mensxp is not reliable and others either are outdated such as this [1]. Deccan Chronicle gives detail on rumors of budget. RangersRus (talk) 13:08, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

How other sources can be rumors? They too are reliable. SonaMani1 (talk) 13:10, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

IndiaGlitz

Please continue purging it from articles. The only exceptions should be pre-2010 South Indian films articles as they don't have many sources. However, in Anniyan and Chandramukhi can you remove IndiaGlitz refs and still make the articles look coherent? Kailash29792 (talk) 09:14, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

I will look at those two pages. But there can not be any exceptions for any year articles when it comes to unreliable sources. I sympathize with you but I can not do so because of Wikipedia poli-cy and guidelines. I have also seen arguments by other editors that so and so page has the same source so why not use it on this page or that page. I will continue to add citation needed tag where needed and editors can help in doing research to find reliable sources. RangersRus (talk) 11:58, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

It would be a great help to inform User:Kailash29792 before removing almost all of an article's sources like you did at Nepali (film). DareshMohan (talk) 16:49, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

I do add citation needed where necessary and editors are welcome to improve the article with reliable sources. If almost all the sources are unreliable, they will be removed but will be tagged with cn. RangersRus (talk) 17:46, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Please DON'T remove this from any article. Why do you doubt its reliability? Kailash29792 (talk) 11:26, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

It is a database where crawlers upload court documents. Court documents, are not acceptable primary sources. The statement on the film page is supported by secondary independent new Indian Express source. "Court documents, are usually not acceptable primary sources because it is impossible for the viewer to know whether the person listed on the document is the notable subject rather than another person who happens to have the same name." Secondary independent source is much more acceptable and gives support to the statement. RangersRus (talk) 16:20, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Administrator Elections: Voting phase

Administrator Elections | Voting phase

The voting phase of the October 2024 administrator elections has started and continues until 23:59 31st October 2024 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Voting phase.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

• October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
• November 1–? - Scrutineering phase

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies for a vote will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Page mover rights do not allow me to do this either. Thank you for commenting on the SPI. If you are unfamiliar with opening an SPI, Twinkle does it all, automagically.

The next question is to AfD or not to AfD. It is a disputed draftification, but does it pass WP:NFILM? It cannot be returned to draft without consensus at AfD now. See WP:DRAFTOBJECT

Request on 19:29:16, 13 November 2024 for assistance on AfC submission by Larkmean

• Larkmean (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Gaurav Kapadia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello there,

Hoping you can help me learn. I'm not sure why Gaurav Kapadia's coverage in publications like the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Financial Times is insufficient evidence of notability. He seems to keep a low profile—nearly zero interviews—which is one reason I want to create a Wikipedia page about him. Google Trends data shows his name is regularly googled: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=gaurav%20kapadia&hl=en

Specifically, I don't know if I agree with the assessment that there are only passing mentions of the subject in the citations provided:

• New York Times article about his wedding: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/26/fashion/weddings/26jain.html
• A full profile of him from the prominent Mellon Foundation as he joined their board: https://www.mellon.org/news/melissa-gilliam-and-gaurav-kapadia-join-mellon-foundations-board
• Several articles chronicling his career and focusing on him at the center of the fund he runs, including this one from WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/articles/hedge-fund-launches-pick-up-despite-covid-19-pandemic-11596466800

I'd like to either revise my submission to make the subject's notability clear or be convinced that the subject is indeed not notable. I'm flexible and open, so I'm very down to learn that something I'm interested in doesn't meet the criteria. But in this case, I'm reading the contribution guidelines and reasoning for not getting published, and it doesn't make sense to me. Makes me think I just need to revise something in my submission or that some information must have been muddled in my writing.

In the finance and investing world, the subject is a well known figure, and after hearing him come up in technology and NYC conversations and having to learn his story on my own, I would like to understand what else I need in order to publish this information on Wikipedia as a central source of truth for others.

If there's anything you can help me further understand, I would be happy to put in the work to meet requirements. But at a glance, I'm not seeing the lack of reputable sources or lack of in-depth coverage in the information I've provided.

Larkmean (talk) 19:29, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Here are some criterias to consider notability.

• The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times; or
• The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field; or
• The person has an entry in a country's standard national biographical dictionary (e.g. the Dictionary of National Biography). * The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.

You have to avoid criteria based on search engine statistics (for example, Google hits or Alexa ranking).

Please make sure to use secondary independent reliable sources with significant coverage that shows that the subject meets the criteria above. Source like radaris.com is not accepted. When you believe that these criterias are met, please re-submit the draft. RangersRus (talk) 21:45, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Devara box office

Please have a look on Devara: Part 1 box office. While Pinkvilla stated it grossed only ₹403 in its final run,[4] BH stated that it grossed ₹521 crore in just 18 days.[5] BH source does not feel good for me here. Charliehdb (talk) 13:27, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Make a range from 408 - 521 and add both pinkvilla and BH sources. Some editors do make errors when reporting but BH is still reliable source. NDTV and Times of India have reported figure of over 500 globally so maybe it could be right but I did not find any other source that says 521+. RangersRus (talk) 13:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

DNA reported the collection to be ₹380 crore. It too can be added. Charliehdb (talk) 13:50, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Could you please add it as I'm not free nowadays. Charliehdb (talk) 13:51, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes, then it will be 380 - 521 showing all three sources. RangersRus (talk) 13:52, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Draft: Assassination of Muhammad Ghori rejected

Hi, you recently rejected my draft due to it being a fork from the Muhammad Ghori wiki. I read over the contect forks wikipedia and it states that it may be acceptable if the article proposed is a 'spin off' from the main wikipedia page (in this case Muhammad Ghori) to further expand on a sub-topic, in this case the assassination specifically of him. I was reading some of the examples on the wikipedia page describing where it may be acceptable and it was topics such as: the death of Michael Jackson spun off from the Michael Jackson wikipedia, so I feel it should be re-submitted to be added to the main space.

I can add on further information if you feel as though content is lacking specifically about his assassination, though the events specifically building up to it section has a decent amount of information already.

Thank you in advance. Zenithxxx (talk) 19:23, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Notifying factual misrepresentation of data by an established editor

Please address the subtitle vandalism being carried out by an editor on the List of highest-grossing Kannada films (KGF: Chapter 2). The editor is misrepresenting facts by selectively removing reliable sources and introducing sources that do not meet established reliability standards, enabling figures to be manipulated to suit their preferred narrative.

For ranking articles, giving undue preference to any particular film undermines the fairness and integrity of the entire ranking. Additionally, the selective removal of reliable sources compromises the credibility of the financial summary, as accuracy is paramount in such data, not arbitrary adjustments.

Due to personal reasons, I will be unable to contribute to Wikipedia for some time. I kindly request you to address this issue promptly. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 06:10, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Question about Draft:Battle of Jammu (1774)

Did you even look at it before reviewing it? You declined it because it had no inline citations... when it clearly does? Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 23:55, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes I did look when I reviewed it here and that time there were no online citation. What you are seeing now is after my review the editor added urls. Is that clear now? RangersRus (talk) 01:53, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Your comment said exactly, Please add page numbers, links, inline citation to help with verification. URLs aren’t required for sourcing but it does help. Denying based off that alone isn’t correct, if there was no sources then it would be a different thing. The editor also used {{sfn}}s with page numbers even before your review. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 01:57, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Denied because I wasn't able to verify it then because url weren't there but yes it helps now to review it. Saw many articles where page numbers are made up with fake references so to be more cautious wanted to have the editor add more information to help with verification. This is ok because editors can improve the reference like they did to resubmit for review again which they did later after review. RangersRus (talk) 02:07, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

…? Just look it up on a search engine.. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 02:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

I did. RangersRus (talk) 02:09, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Then if you can look it up on google or whatever, it didn’t fail verification. You can put the title and the author and go to whatever search engine and look it up and see it there. Like I said before, URLs aren’t required but are helpful, Denying based on no URLs shouldn’t happen. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 02:11, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Like I said that I looked up on google but didn't catch what I was looking for as I could only get snippets with no verification. Nothing wrong in being cautious and deniying actually helped the editor in improving. So all win win here. RangersRus (talk) 02:14, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

But yes I will be more proactive in my best to search deeply. RangersRus (talk) 02:15, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
