Regarding Box office
[edit]Hey @VarunKumar35 you are saying that I am bias and against this film or you are on a mission to get me banned, but sadly this is not how things work. You are accusing me with all this just because I asked for an independent tracking source here [1]. The reason why I asked for Figures other than production house because there figures are mostly exaggerated, that's why we don't use them in box office section. A recent example of box office manipulation by Studio are here [2]. Secondly you accused me of increasing box office of other film with a very unreliable source Bollywood Hungama. FYI BH is very reliable source listed at top of WP:ICTFSOURCES infact BH with Pinkvilla and Box Office India are the most reliable Independent box office trackers. We don't do biases here for a certain actor film. Look at this example the, Production house gave figures like this [3] but BH figures were less so we didn't updated with Production house Figures here, [4] see what's an experienced editor gave reason that, please have patience and let the official bollywood hungama source update. Now the reason why I said better source needed there was,
- You first gave this source [5] of Business Today, no doubt that is reliable but they are not trackers, look inside it they are citing Manobala Vijayabalan who himself cite his tweet with Production House. Secondly see inside you will see Sachnilk as there source which are considered Unreliable.
- The second source is questionable,
- The third souce again relying on Manobala Vijayabalan.

- And secondly I am not against updating Salaar box office, even I want that someone should edit it because many people wants to know please take it to Talk page and ping everyone who are involved in edit warring and request administrators to please update that section. Thank you Tousif ❯❯❯ Talk 04:40, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Also, according to the logic you are applying none of the sources applied to the current box office numbers on Salaar's WP page are reliable, two of those are even marked as most unreliable sources in the list of WP:ICTFSOURCES . That means the current box office number on Salaar's Wiki page is fake as it doesn't include any of the credible sources you have mentioned. So my question is who edited that and why was the edit approved in the first place? VarunKumar35 (talk) 05:42, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- I edited that page 2 days before it was locked, so I was not actively involved in edit war. I edited that page only with PV or BOI. Users involved in edit wars was blocked. Tousif ❯❯❯ Talk 05:51, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- My point is current sources backing the box office number are all irrelevant/unreliable. So what do we do about that? Shouldn't we remove that box office number until the actual WW total figure comes from one of the reliable sources? As currently it's nowhere close to being authentic due to the unreliable sources.
- Also, Please provide the proof backing your claims about Manobala citing production house and BollywoodHungama box office numbers being authentic as they never claim the authenticity. I will wait. VarunKumar35 (talk) 06:09, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

- Oh, took them forever to update the figures but here is the official Pinkvilla update for Salaar bo! Leaving no excuses for anyone not to update Salaar's Wikipedia.

- Manobala Vijayabalan is an independent box office tracker and he not even once cited any production house. If you have a proof of your claim please let us see. Secondly, BollywoodHungama itself relies on different sources including producer's figures and are not at all independent industry trackers. For reference see their disclaimer at the bottom of every box office update.
