List of highest-grossing Indian films : Addition of a new source

007 accounts

I saw your comment at the Nscharan007 SPI. Were you thinking of Spamfree007 and his many socks? - Brianhe (talk) 22:50, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Brianhe: I appreciate your note. No, I wasn't thinking of those specifically. There were a few accounts that were editing the same article but had 007 in their names. Probably related to Indian TV. I meant to look into it, but forgot. Much thanks for the info though! Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:41, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nashtl007 (talk · contribs) turned up in the Mindcap SPI....? Brianhe (talk) 13:19, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Brianhe: This was really bugging me, so I kept an eye out. I think I finally found them here. Bollywood007 and Pranabesh007. What did it mean? Maybe nothing, but at the time I thought it was weird that these two 007 accounts were editing the same article. Anyway, closure. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:59, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And also here I found Cinemaniac007. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:23, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Roopal Tyagi edit

Latest revision as of 04:56, 13 December 2016 (edit) (undo) (thank) Cyphoidbomb (talk | contribs) (Undid revision 754390582 by Detective RDS Good faith edit, but to random readers, it's unclear what this means. We don't use slashes WP:SLASH for the ambiguity they create. Are these different characters? Twins? Reincarnations, what?)

@Cyphoidbomb:

Pari used to call herself as Bubbly and the lead Armaan as Bunty most of the time for fun. I believe for that you need to watch the show in the first place, to understand.

At least glad that you have no objection with my last edit on Sasural Simar Ka page (hopefully). But watch out, someone edited and placed wrong actress name for the character Vaidehi. Kajol Shrivastav is playing the character Vaidehi, not Deepika Singh. How did you miss that, I wonder !— Preceding unsigned comment added by Detective RDS (talk • contribs)

The Phoenix IPv6

Is back again, just by way of a heads up. Lankiveil blocked one account working on the Muppet Christmas movie, but there seem to be two active. Another user who doesn't know the meaning of insanity. --Drmargi (talk) 10:37, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmargi: Thanks, I'll keep my eyes peeled. Which Muppet Christmas movie? There are several. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:26, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry; it was the Very Merry Muppet Christmas movie, the same one he'd edited previously. --Drmargi (talk) 18:18, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Satellite Rights

Okay sure. I'm sorry for adding the "satellite right" information as I agree with what you've said. Thanks for informing. I'll take care of not repeating the same mistake again.

@SBson1357: I know you meant well. Thanks for understanding. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:24, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. :)

Can you just let me know what can I add or not add regarding a page related to a movie? Like I made a mistake about the "satellites right", so what are the required fields in it? Thanks. SBson1357 (talk) 18:26, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. My username has been linked to another username for sock puppeting by SpacemanSpiff. I've been active on Wikipedia since November but back then I didn't knew what was sock puppeting. My first username had been blocked. I didn't knew that there was a term called sock puppeting for creating another username. After few days second one was also blocked. I created third one. It got blocked. I didn't create neither of the several several usernames for sock puppeting. I just wanted to and still want to contribute as much as I can contribute from my side for the field I love. Now, my this username has also been reported for sock puppeting. Since I didn't didn't knew what was sock puppeting during my first username I didn't even get a chance to ask SpacemanSpiff about that. I didn't create second one to fight with that person or anyone else. I just wanted to contribute silently and more carefully. Please let me know what is the problem with my editing. What is wrong with my contribution? Why am i not allowed contribute? For sure if this username also gets blocked, I will leave Wikipedia immediately because now I know what is sock puppeting. I want to contribute my knowledge towards Telugu films and artistes. I don't want to claim my old usernames anymore and I want to be active on Wikipedia through this only. Please help me. SBson1357 (talk) 14:56, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I want to be active on Wikipedia and gain knowledge and share as much as I know so as to make it easier and satisfying to viewers who read the articles. SBson1357 (talk) 14:58, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SBson1357: What was your first user name? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:22, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's PradeepKumar308. Then I created KHAIDI NO.308. Then PradeepKumar316. And now this use. SBson1357 (talk) 15:23, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I ended up creating because of lack of awareness about sock puppeting. SBson1357 (talk) 15:24, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your honesty. I think you should consider opening an unblock request from your original account, and explain in great detail that you understand the reasons why you were blocked. Note that it wasn't just for creating other accounts, it was for copyright violations as well. You'll need to read WP:COPYRIGHT and understand what it says. In your unblock request you will have to convince a reviewing admin that you understand why copyright violations (and sockpuppetry) are problematic as well as paint a convincing portrait of how you'll do things differently going forward. You didn't do that effectively in your UTRS unblock request. The key is to really understand these policies, and really visualise the problematic effects they have here. That's all I can advise. Also, if you are being paid to edit Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you, who the client is, and any other relevant role or relationship. See WP:PAID. Honesty is the best policy. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:36, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

One other thing, I am concerned that you have several recent copyright warnings on your SBson talk page. This worries me that you have not learned anything since your last block, so any unblock request made now is probably going to fail. You need to really understand why plagiarism, copying, and copyright violations are academically and intellectually dishonest. If you don't presently understand this, then you need to ask educated people around you (like teachers) as well as maybe research it online. People lose their careers over plagiarism and copyright violations, so this is an important life lesson as well. Why is it wrong to take a photo from someone's website and put it on your own without permission or attribution? Why is it wrong to take an essay that someone wrote, change a few words, then present it as your own content? Why is it wrong for an Indian film maker to take the plot of an American film and make a movie just like it? These are the things you should be thinking about. And don't be in a hurry. If it takes you a month to really understand it, then wait before you file you unblock. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:59, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very very much

At last my doubts have been cleared. So, only after getting a reliable source I will post the final verdict of xyz movie. Other than that, I won't just put up that it failed or succeeded. I have saved the respective pages you have mentioned in your reply. I will read them tomorrow morning. Thanks a ton and please keep in touch because I'm new to Wikipedia and I want to share my knowledge as much as possible. I know I have ended up making several mistakes so far and henceforth I will take care. Just don't get annoyed in case if I ask too much questions after this. :)

A sock you recently blocked

Thanks for taking care of 31.52.6.216 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). This is a likely Atlus Zachary sock. You can see some of the associated drama here and here. His M.O. is to make highly dubious, uunsourced changes to film and video game articles. A lot of the time, he'll seemingly make up production companies for films, then edit war almost indefinitely to keep them in the article. It's a real pain.

Arrangement of column in Sreemukhi's filmography

Hi there. I have added information of the movies in which Sreemukhi has appeared but I am facing problem regarding the year 2016 column which is appearing on the "movie" column. "https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sreemukhi#Filmography". Please can you arrange it? SBson1357 (talk) 04:25, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SBson1357: Hi, tables are not my strong suit, but I think I resolved the issue here. The problem was that the 2015 column beginning with Ettuthikkum Madhayaanai was trying to span 5 rows, when there was only 4 rows of data. So to compensate, it tried to swallow 2016, which resulted in an unbalanced table. By adjusting the rowspan to 4, I brought things back in balance. Hope that helps.

Articles created by me not visible on Google while searching

First of all, Merry Christmas. :) Hi there. Sorry to disturb. May I know why the articles I've created are not there when I search on Google. I mean when I type a particular page/person's article I have created on Google its not visible unlike other pages which may which may have been made long time back. Example: I created an article "Manalo Okkadu", a film. So while typing Manalo Okkadu on Google, the first thing which comes is "R.P. Patnaik" article on Wikipedia and not the article I created about the film. May I know what could be the reason? Are there any rules for Wikipedia that a newly created article needs some time to be visible while being searched on Google? SBson1357 (talk) 14:08, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SBson1357: Hi, Merry Christmas to you as well. To answer your question: I don't know. We have no influence over how Google ranks articles. Maybe it will take time, as you speculate. While Wikipedia is one of the most heavily visited sites on the internet, perhaps Google waits a while for articles to gain stability before posting them prominently in the search results. Speculation on my part, though. Sorry I'm of no help. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:12, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's fine. I just wanted to know what could be the reason. As such the pages I have created are of less prominence so maybe it will take a while. :) SBson1357 (talk) 15:14, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dangal and copyright issues

I would characterize myself as lazy rather than a thief (as you have accused me). I was feeling lazy even to to respond to your talk, but your comment on Gross & Nett collections deserve/demand a response.

Is there a Wikipedia guideline for what should be used or how it should be referred? You say that existing numbers are Gross but I saw a Nett term used. Or is it that by default everything is Gross but when Nett is used, it has to clarified explicitly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by J mareeswaran (talk • contribs)

Wikisjanitor possible Sage of the Six Paths sock?

Does Wikisjanitor (talk · contribs) look like a Sage of the Six Paths sockpuppet to you? It's a relatively new account and has been editing the same articles that Sage and his socks have been? It has even restored some of Sage's edits that you reverted for block evasion. —Farix (t | c) 17:36, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but your confusing me for someone else. I'm just cleaning up articles that might have mistakes and doing updates for the new year. Wikisjanitor (talk) 17:39, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You've restored a lot of edits made by a block evading IP,[1][2][3][4] so there is a very strong suspicion that you are the very same person. And the timing of these edits are also very suspicious. —Farix (t | c) 17:43, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

December 2016

The cast names, which I have added in Goyenda Ginni, without source have played minor or recurring characters in the series which don't have sources but they have played characters which you would know if you had seen the series and knew the real name of the cast. So, now to acknowledge theirs contribution towards the series, what can be done? (User talk:Thertho Bose)

@Thertho Bose: 1) Thank you for participating in discussion finally. I'm appreciative that you've chosen to open the dialog. 2) I don't think I've touched any of your recent edits at Goyenda Ginni, so I'm not quite sure what you're asking or what additions you're specifically referring to. I'm not sure if it helps, but we should be focusing on Main and Recurring cast (Recurring = cast/characters that have appeared more than once) since that's the scope of WP:TVCAST. Wikipedia doesn't aim to be IMDb, so we need to be selective about the cast/characters we add to these lists. One-time characters/cast are not really noteworthy. I'm not sure if that helps you at all, but feel free to clarify as needed. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 07:13, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Most read biography

Hi Admin! First of all, wishing you "Happy New Year"! (Sorry for being a day late.)

A list of 100 most read Pakistani biographies (on Wikipedia) was [ published] by Dawn (newspaper). Recently you have removed this info from Mawra Hocane, any special reason? Because this is also written on 4 or 5 more pages under my observation.

Hopr for your kind reply, Thanks! M. Bill oo 00:21, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Billoo2000: Hi M, happy new year to you as well. I think it's a strange piece of trivia to include in an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia doesn't typically talk about itself when it's covering other subjects. I wouldn't object if we were talking about the subject being the most searched Pakistani on Google, or something of that nature, but it just seems weirdly self-referential to talk about Wikipedia at Wikipedia. I can't imagine Encyclopedia Britannica writing in an article on Tom Cruise, "Tom Cruise was the most popular article at Britannica.com." You're always welcome to get another opinion, though. Not sure where the best location would be though. Maybe some folks at WikiProject Biography would have some opinions. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:35, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ishq Hawa Mein

I think you're familiar with this one. Is "Cyber Power" linked to the farm? I initially thought it might be AwardPunjabi, but I think you and Ponyo know this better. Maybe GSS-1987 knows? I'm not filing an SPI as I don't know this farm, hoping one of you will if Ponyo doesn't get to it first. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 12:33, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SpacemanSpiff, I'll check if I can find any evidence to link "Cyber Power" to AwardPunjabi or any other farm. Cheers – GSS (talk|c|em) 12:39, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@SpacemanSpiff: I found some evidences to link "Cyber Power" to S..Yash and few more users (Sock farm AdnanAliAfzal):

Cyber Power's first edit was to recreate Karan Deol which earlier created by S..Yash but this time Cyber Power made it a redirect and the use of Thanks is common in both users.
with 4GFLY: Both user created thier userpage with Wikipedia Is My LiFe in bold.
with Fly Up: The use of capital "I" when writing is ([5][6]).

There are some more users who recreated S..Yash's work after his block. GSS (talk|c|em) 14:53, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd noticed the Karan Deol thing, but didn't get a chance to look more in detail. Them's some good notes, GSS! The boldface on the userpage is odd. Also, they basically welcomed themself on their own talk page with the giant list of helpful links. Both the creation of the user page + the self-welcome look like standard sock efforts to hide their redlinks. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:56, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they always try to hide their redlinks and Cyber Power also has a tendency to move pages and creating articles about the children of Indian film actors same like previous socks. GSS (talk|c|em) 15:49, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Including user 3OO per exactly the same behaviour as above e.g. creating user page with Wikipedia Is My Life (in slightly diffrent way My L!fe iS W!kipedia), recreated master's work Ahan Shetty as redirect and same behaviour in moving articles and creating redirect. GSS (talk|c|em) 17:56, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think we're going to need a CU here. Looking at some of the articles 3OO has edited, I found AAS-786 as well, who created Nadeem_Javed. @Ponyo: If you get a second, could you please look into this? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:18, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate

Hi Admin!

This account was created by me (for me), but I forgot it's password. I then made this account (which I am using), and want to continue using this. I recently tried to recover that through my email address, but now I think I don't want to use it... Is there any way to delete that account? (My edits here in early 2015 were reverted by you, and on that time I was very very weak to understand Wiki) Please, I don't want to be trapped in "sockpuppet case".

Sorry for my weak English (as I had said earlier too), and thanks for always being helpful! M. Bill oo 20:35, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi M.Billoo2000 Thanks for the disclosure. I see edits from MBill00 in December 2016. Are you sure you've forgotten the password? You are allowed to have multiple accounts so long as you aren't using them for any disruptive reason. Some disruptive reasons would be: vandalism, edit-warring, voting from both accounts, harassment, etc. Legitimate reasons to use another account might be to edit on a public computer or a public network. You might consider putting Template:User alternative account name on the user pages, just so everything is out in the open. Being open about stuff is the best policy. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:26, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have forgotten password, again after recovering. (I don't know why I thought to put a hard one there, currently working on easy passwords.) The userpage I had created saying "My nickname is Bill..." was just a fun I was trying... But now I don't want to use it, I want to be (some kind of) "expert user" from this account. Also, recently I asked for help on help desk (keeping hidden the December's edits), but nothing happened. Thanks for your kind response! M. Bill oo 21:50, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
