Disambiguation link notification for August 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maratha titles, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sawai (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Discussion of author Babasaheb Purandare at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard

There is a discussion at the RS Noticeboard as to whether Purandare qualifies as a WP:RS for the article Shivaji. Discussion posted here: Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Raja_Shivachhatrapati_by_Babasaheb_Purandare_in_the_article_Shivaji_.28Indian_history_bio.29.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Scindia does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Waldhorn (talk) 06:38, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

royalark.net does not meet WP:RS

Hello, I'm Ohnoitsjamie. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:25, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Source issues

I reviewed your recent edits to Maharshtra article and found that:

• the added text was a close paraphrase of the first cited source, which written by an excise officer and citing wikipedia as one of its sources, is not a reliable source
• you cited two more sources in your edit, but the text you added did not seem to be based on those sources, and worse, didn't seem to even accurately represent what those sources said (based on Google Books snippet view: do you have access to the complete text, which would be required for good understanding of the text?)

For these reasons I have reverted your edit to that page as well as to Marathi language and Marathi people pages. Please be more careful with regards to copyright, sourcing, and accurate presentation of sources, issues in the future. Feel free to start a discussion on the article talk pages to decide how the material you included can be more accurately sourced and presented in those articles. Abecedare (talk) 19:26, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Gyan

Please do not use books published by Gyan as sources. The publisher is known to be unreliable, mainly because they copy content from us and other unreliable sources. There have been many discussions about this, including at the reliable sources noticeboard. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 17:23, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Amit20081980, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to History of India has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without 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 a cited source. 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 without attribution. If you want to copy 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. Dougweller (talk) 11:03, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Royal Ark

I notice that you yet again used the Royal Ark website as a source. It has been explained to you here previously why we do not use the thing, so I was surprised to see it pop up at the Kshatriya article. Please do not use that source again. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 05:48, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

November 2015

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at History of India. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges.

Please use the article talk page for discussions, including for asking questions. Edit summaries are not meant for asking questions. Kautilya3 (talk) 08:39, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Adding reference to Wikipedia articles

Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

Hello Amit20081980! Please do not forget to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Adding a well formatted references is very easy to do.

1. While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite" click on it
2. Then click on "templates",
3. Choose the most appropriate template and fill as many details as you can,

This will add a well formatted reference that would be helpful in case the website link (web URL) becomes inactive (dead/link rot) after some time. You can read more about it on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv. thanks and regards --Kautilya3 (talk) 08:41, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

September 2016

Your addition to Maratha Army has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. This is your final warning. Further copyright violations will result in you being blocked from editing. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:49, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
