Speedy deletion nomination of Department Of Information Science and Engineering, Adichunchanagiri Institute of Technology

Hello Ashwin Geet Dsa,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Department Of Information Science and Engineering, Adichunchanagiri Institute of Technology for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 05:14, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Handler's classification

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Handler's classification requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.ijritcc.org/download/A%20Survey%20on%20Parallel%20Architecture%20and%20Parallel%20Programming%20Languages%20and%20Tools.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:18, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Ashwin Geet Dsa, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Feng's classification have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Widefox; talk 12:39, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Chikmagalur

Hi Ashwin Geet Dsa - thanks for your e-mail.
As I state on my User and User talk pages "I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as discussions should be open and on the record."

Your e-mail said:-

I agree the changes made by you on the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chikmagalur_district

However, I do want to change the name of the article, since the place "Chikmagalur" (As referred by the article) has been renamed to "Chikkamagaluru" few years ago.

Could you please help me with that.

Thank you.

Firstly, we do not want to confuse our readers by using a different name in the article from the article title itself, so please do not change it from Chikmagalur.

As for the name itself, the Wikipedia rule is WP:COMMONNAME which is that we use "the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources." (my bold}
This over-rides both the "official" name and any "local" name; it is just an specific application of WP:COMMONALITY - The English Wikipedia is read by English readers, worldwide.
There have been attempts to try and claim that this policy is racist and/or imperialist, but it is applied across the board:- we use Vienna not Wien, Rome not Roma, The Hague not Den Haag or 's-Gravenhage, Venice not Venezia and numerous other English titles, rather than the "official" or "local" name.

The problem is assessing what the common name in English is. We do not rely solely on Google matches, and Google results can vary dependent on where the search is carried out, but they are a simple basic indication.

A search for Chikmagalur, run from England, here gives 2,520,000 matches

A search for Chikkamagaluru, run from England, here gives just 513,000 matches

Although Google matches are not the only consideration, and they are not all reliable sources, 2,520,000 is nearly 5 times as many as 513,000, so currently the WP:COMMONNAME in English is clearly Chikmagalur, and the article will not be renamed.

There is nothing you can do about this, but wait to see if the common name in English changes. Over time, some of our article titles have changed, as the common name in English evolves - in May 2001 our Mumbai article was just a redirect to our Bombay article: although the title had officially changed in 1995, in 2001 the common name in English was still Bombay. Conversely, we still use Bangalore, not Bengaluru. - Arjayay (talk) 13:53, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
