Hi. I saw that you added a budget to a film in this edit. The problem is that content in Wikipedia needs to be cited to reliable sources, and you didn't include your source. I checked Box Office Mojo, and they don't have a budget listed. If you're going by the IMDb, you should be aware that we can't cite user-generated content. We need sources written by professional journalists, film scholars, and critics. You can see an incomplete list of vetted sources at WP:FILM/R. Frequently, you can find budgets listed at BOM, The Numbers, Variety, TheWrap, and Deadline.com. If you have trouble citing sources or don't quite understand some aspect of Wikipedia's bureaucratic guidelines, feel free to request help at the tea house or WikiProject Film. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:44, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
Why would you change the budget for this film in the article and provide a source in your edit summary, but not in the text itself? How is this helpful? Additionally, we currently have two sources backing the existing figure. That you've located a third source with a figure at odds with the existing one should lead you to open a Talk page discussion, not simply assume your source trumps the existing ones, which you didn't even remove with your edit, consequently creating larger problems. I hope you will raise this matter at the article's Talk page, as the existence of two budget figures at variance with each other seems worth discussion. Thank you for your understanding. DonIago (talk) 13:34, 28 September 2017 (UTC) I thought someone might look at "view history".

When you update a box office figure, you must update the dates associated with that figure. This includes the "as of" date and the source date. If the section said:
If you change only the dollar amount to what the source says today, as you have been doing, the sentance would now be incorrect, claiming that today's box office gross was reached back in April.
If you are having trouble, please ask for help here or on the articles' talk pages. - SummerPhDv2.0 12:41, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I'm KAP03. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Blade Runner 2049, 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. -KAP03(Talk • Contributions • Email) 22:26, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
After I left you this message at one particular talkpage;
Hi, @Evope: I saw that you just updated this page with new figures but you put your reference in edit summary not in the article. Note: the first figure $671 that you changed to $677 is still referenced to time.com, so anybody who clicked to verify will see the old figure 671 since you didn't provide new reference. For more on this read WP:INTEGRITY and then come and change the sources accordingly.
I noticed that you (mis)updated several pages in similar way, instead to follow you on all the talkpages I am now drawing your attention here. So please before you update any page again, review what I wrote as well as WP:CITE and WP:INTEGRITY and make sure you adhere to them. Because you know Verifiability is core policy of Wikipedia. — Ammarpad (talk) 07:55, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

What possible reason is there for you to remove the {{as of}} templates from articles that tag dated information. Good that you are updating the information but the systematic removal of that particular template without a good reason is disruptive. See also WP:As of for more on when and why this is required in articles. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:18, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at A Simple Favor (film), you may be blocked from editing. Removing required templated for no reason as explained before. This is shown to be deliberately disruptive Geraldo Perez (talk) 01:48, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
Please do not threaten to block me. I was giving a good reason. I am keeping the as of. Besides, I was using box office mojo which has correct information. If it says it grossed the amount on a certain day, it should say as of that day. The access date shall be on the day it got received on box office mojo. Evan Opedal

Hi there. Good work on the updating of movie financial statistics. I see you're updating the accessdate and everything too from what I saw, so be sure to keep doing that. But all these articles need to use the {{as of}} template and they need to not have "lc=" in them. You keep re-adding that even to the same article I've already reverted and warned you on. You need to stop what you're doing right now and go back and delete that from the beginnings of sentences, and you need to preview your work. And add the "as of" template if there isn't one. You can't just be an obsessive wikignome. I see that you are a habitual and unrepentant offender who doesn't even reply to warnings, so I'll just let you know again that this all constitutes disruptive or WP:TENDENTIOUS editing for which users can be blocked. Thanks. — Smuckola(talk) 06:52, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
Hey man, when you edit the film articles, don’t change the “As of” template to lowercase. Sentences obviously start with uppercase letters so to make it lowercase is awkward-looking and grammatically incorrect. Also don’t bury the gross/budgets in the middle of the infoboxes by moving the “based on” and Producers credits to the bottom. And thirdly, not sure if it’s an accident or not but on half your edits you’ll wipe half the BOM link away, fragmenting it, so keep an eye on that. Alright, thanks! Cheers.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Holmes & Watson. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Despite three messages on talk page (over course of several months), user continues to edit “as of” date templates to lowercase and/or add add inaccurate box office information, which is in violation of WP:TEND TropicAces (talk) 17:03, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you are trying to do but you are made a series of edits to Infoboxes where you have changed the box office gross figures to numbers that do not match the sources.
If you have another source of box office figures then you must add a reference to that source when updating the figures. -- 109.76.138.75 (talk) 14:59, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

I've noticed you've made a lot of edits to the Wikipedia page After, most only the box office statistics.
It's true that box office stats should be rounded to the nearest million, but some of these are not the nearest million, they are the nearest hundred thousand. I don't know if there's precedent for this; past a certain point it can look like you're inflating the stats for some reason.
Please give guidance as to whether this is supported by Wikipedia Style Manuals or not? Thanks. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 14:39, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Hello. I'm curious as to why you added another reference to something, when the first reference says the exact same thing? I noticed another editor previously deleted it.

Box Office Mojo and the numbers aren't always the same. Sometimes, they show different grosses for movies. Evan Kalani Opedal
But so far for this film they're showing the same exact numbers which is why it's excessive in this case. If they change and it's more appropriate to show a range I can understand why you'd put them both but for now one is fine. Putting both just seems unnecessary and excessive. Multiple editors have removed it now. I'm happy to discuss it on the talk page but for now it seems as though you're the only one who wants to add it and again, in this case it doesn't add anything.

Hi there, just a short message concerning your updates for box office figures, especially Joker. Please be sure that when you update the access-dates, you check to see which source needs updating. I've noticed you update both BOM as well as NUM with the same date, where usually only BOM has been updated. Also, at the box office section of the article, please take care to ensure yourself that when, for example on November 23rd, you change the "As of"-date, to note the 22nd. The figures announced on the 23rd are regarding the totals of the 22nd. Thank you. SassyCollins (talk) 18:32, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
You are changing the date on NUM when only BOM has been updated. When BOM is updated, BOM's date should change. When NUM is updated, only NUM's date should change. When BOTH are updated, BOTH dates should change. You are constantly changing NUM's date when BOM's figures are updated. Stop doing that unless NUM has updated their figures as well. Thank you.

Thanks for your edit to Tanner scale adding the Jarret reference. Please note that when you re-use the same reference in several places in the article, there's no need to copy the whole reference into each location; you can simply use Named references. In the first place you use the reference, include the full citation (as you did), and give the reference a name (typically, LAST-YYYY) like this: <ref name="Jarret-2020">{{cite web ...}}</ref>
, and after that, when you need to cite Jarret again, just use the named reference (like this: <ref name="Jarret-2020" />
). See this edit for example. When reused like this, they end up consolidated in the references section; see reference #9 at Tanner scale#References. See Help:Footnotes#Footnotes: using a source more than once for details. Hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 16:12, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

When citing BOM for the gross make sure to insert the number from the last part of the link that begins with "tt", not anything else. That is the link from the "All Releases" section, not "Original Release" section. Otherwise the citation doesn't work.
For example on the film Plane, use the number from "tt5884796" in https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt5884796/. Not from "gr3733869061" in https://www.boxofficemojo.com/releasegroup/gr3733869061/.

Why do you regularly use broken BoxOfficeMojo ids for gross data in film infoboxes (as you did here)? If you fail at reaching the id, just provide the url link.--Asqueladd (talk) 15:51, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
I do not understand why you made an edit presenting box office gross figures in an inconsistent and inaccurate way.[3] Template:Infobox film points to MOS:LARGENUM and the normal way of rounding numbers it to round up at .5 or higher but you truncated $104.6 million down to $104 million for no apparent reason, which is misleading and inaccurate. It would be simple to use the same figure in all three cases and I cannot understand why anyone would not do so. If there is good reason to round down to less decimal places the mathematically accurate rounding $104.6 million to $105 million could easily be use in all three places, but there there is no apparent reason to list the number differently in the lead section from the Infobox or the box office section. WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE makes it clear that the infobox is suppose to summarize the article body. WP:LEAD also clearly states that the lead section is suppose to summarize the article body. Inconsistency makes no sense. Truncating $104.6 million to $104 million is inaccurate and misleading.

Hi Evope, I've just noticed that you already made at least 3 revisions to the article, in which you persistently attempt to smuggle in exaggerated figures for the film's revenue into the article's text. 👎️
On both Box Office Mojo and The Numbers (website) the figures are basically the same:
Domestic (57.8%) $19,069,924
International (42.2%) $13,900,000
Worldwide $32,969,924
Yet you repeatedly make edits purporting to give the film a worldwide total of $52 million - why? 😠

You clearly understand that $245,598,467 normally rounds to $245.6 million because you put that number in the Infobox, but in the lead section you truncated this number down to $245 million for no apparent reason.
