I'll have this to you either tonight or tomorrow JAGUAR  13:28, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

  • "a 2015 Indian Malayalam thriller film" - optional, but would you prefer to write this as Malayalam-language? It's just that I've seen it in other GAs
 Done
  • "C. Rajamani composed the soundtrack and film score respectively" - comma needed in between "score" and "respectively"
 Done
  • "setting a record in 2015 for highest opening day gross for a Malayalam film" - a "the" is needed between "for" and "highest"
 Done
  • "an Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer" - 'IRS' isn't mentioned again in the body, so it's safe to lose it here
 Done
  • "Raju identifies himself as a RAW agent" - what does RAW stand for?
 Done
  • "at the Calicut International Airport, Kozhikode" - might sound better as at the Calicut International Airport in Kozhikode
 Done
  • "The first poster showed an ensemble cast with Mohanlal in the center" - centre (Indian English)
 Done
  • "Ajmal's character's looks were modelled after popular young politicians in the country" - delink this
 Done
  • I think that the third paragraph in the Release section could be merged with the second, to improve prose flow
 Done

Looks very good! I couldn't find much wrong with it. Once all of the minor prose issues are addressed then this should be good to go. JAGUAR  16:37, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. That really helped. Thanks for your quick response. I have corrected all the addressd issues. And thanks to all the editors who worked to make this a GA. --Charles Turing (talk) 16:58, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. This looks like it's good to go. JAGUAR  20:40, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Error in the section development

'The announcement of Loham received considerable media attention as it was Manju Warrier's return to the screen after leaving the film industry to marry actor Dileep. The media coverage was further heightened when Prithviraj Sukumaran joined the cast."

This is completely wrong as Manju Warrier and Prithviraj is not a part of this film. Can I delete it or can anyone provide a reliable source to this.Paavamjinn (talk) 20:52, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly sourced box office section

The film's box office details are cited using unreliable sources. This include

Box office details must be sourced using a reliable tracking website or with reputed print publications (WP:FILMBOXOFFICE). The only reference used in the section which could be considered of any value used is from Sify (WP:ICTFSOURCES), which states that the film collected 2.19 crore on the first day. Except for this, I am removing the rest of the details as they fail verification. I am also doubtful whether this article meets the Good article criteria as it relies heavily on unreliable sources. Out of the 65 references, 12 are from International Business Times, 13 are from Filmibeat.com and three are from Indiaglitz.com. I would like to hear inputs from other editors whether the article should undergo a reassessment on the ground of the quality of the sources used.

Just add the better sources for the box office if you are disputing it. We don't do a GAR based on that one thing. First of all, CONTEXT MATTERS, and so do corroboration of the numbers, so don't get carried away with the sources. Atsme 💬 📧 20:20, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. It is not only the box office section, but about half the references used in the article are from unreliable sources. And it is not that I dispute the sources. These sources are explicitly categorised as unreliable sources at WP:RSP or WP:ICTFSOURCES. Anyway, I have removed some content from the box office section as they fail verifiability. Malayala Sahityam (talk) 20:34, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To begin, RSP is just a guideline. We dispute the material, not the source - we simply find a better source. There is much more involved than just saying the source is unreliable and I'm going to remove the material - NO, that is not how it works. What are you disputing? When the article was created those sources were fine. If you are disputing the content - you discuss it here, find material that supports your position, propose it, and cite a better source. Quite a few people worked on verifiability when that article was promoted, so you need a good reason to be removing material besides the source that is cited. This is about a movie not a BLP. Atsme 💬 📧 20:48, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My edits were based on the guidelines mentioned in WP:FILMBOXOFFICE, that the information needs to be sourced from dedicated tracking websites or print publications. There have been multiple discussions at WP:ICTF whether sources such as IBTimes or Filmibeat or Indiaglitz can be used for Box office details of a movie and the consensus was a no which is why they are listed as unreliable at WP:ICTFSOURCES. And, it is not upon me to look for reliable sources, but if you need the information to be on Wikipedia, you must look for a reliable source that supports your information. I am removing the information for now as I am entitled to per WP:Verifiability. If you need the information back, please cite a reliable source for the information. Malayala Sahityam (talk) 21:24, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And there are discrepancies within the values quoted in some of the sources used before. For example, this IBTimes article puts the figure at 12.2 crore while this report from the same publisher puts the figure at Rs. 15 crore. The Wikipedia article states this 12.2 crore is from Kerala theatres and 15 crore is the combined gross from theatres within Kerala and outside Kerala. Seriously? What's the source for this information? I am sure some user noticed the discrepancy and tried to make up this statement in order to explain the discrepancy. And the source for the first IBTimes article is a blog called Kerala Box Office Updates. Are you seriously telling me that these figures are to be included on this Wikipedia article?
