Book My Show edit
Hi there, re: this edit, though you obviously mean well, the use of Book My Show as a reference, particularly for establishing critical response or using it as a review, is a bit wonky to me. The site doesn't seem to have produced any specific review of Byomkesh Pawrbo the way that this Times of India reviewer did. From the look of things, Book My Show appears to be trying to aggregate both critical response and user vote response into some overall love score. This is problematic, since we do not consider audience votes useful because the data can easily be skewed with votebots and other methods. (See MOS:FILM#Audience response) If the site is using potentially rigged voter data to formulate their love score, that's a poor methodology and it makes their ratings inherently untrustworthy. And, the Indian cinema task force should really weigh in on whether or not this site's attempt to aggregate critical response is even useful. There have been other sites that have attempted this, like Cinechicken and Sahi Nahi, but the community seemed a bit chilly toward these sites as neither has established strong reputations as reliable sources. Also, changing the 83% rating to 8.3/10 was a bit weird. I don't understand that choice. And lastly, the only sort of edits that should be marked minor are changes that could never be the subject of dispute. This would typically only be cosmetic changes, like fixing spelling errors, typography, adding or removing wikilinks, etc. Thanks and regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:37, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
