I have automatically detected that your edit to Tarkhan People may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.Reply

Tarkhan People edit

Hello Garminder13,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Tarkhan People, may be copied from http://sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Tarkhan. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 21:50, 15 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

December 2013 edit

 

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one of your recent edits to Tarkhan (Punjab) has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Page moves edit

These need discussion and agreement first, so I've reverted you. The name itself was unacceptable - a White Holland turkey is a type of turkey, there is no such thing as a Tarkhan Turkey. I suggest you propose Tarkhan (title). Dougweller (talk) 17:04, 21 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of Tarkhan People for deletion edit

 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tarkhan People is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tarkhan People until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. SH 17:19, 21 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

This should never have been created - you even edited the Tarkhan (Punjab) so you knew we had an article on it. And you must read our policy on copyvio as if you continue to add material that isn't clearly not in copyright I will have to block you. Dougweller (talk) 17:32, 21 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Copyvio edit

If you think there is copyvio you need to specify the source, either on the talk page or in the template, not expect other people to do it - that made it appear that you were just responding to your own copyright violations - hm, didn't warn you but you will know about them.

Hello Garminder13, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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) 12:43, 22 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Tarkhan (Punjab), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. SH 10:44, 23 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

January 2014 edit

  Your addition to Tarkhan Tribe has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without 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 text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions 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.

Your recent editing history at Tarkhan Tribe shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Sitush (talk) 16:18, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

ANI discussion edit

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 17:59, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked indefinitely edit

 
You have been indefinitely blocked from editing due to concerns raised in this discussion on the administrators' noticeboard for incidents (ANI). Even after the warnings you received regarding copyright violations, discussing edits before you make them and the discussion on ANI you went back to Tarkhan Tribe and made a similar edit without trying to discuss or explain it. This shows that you are unable to understand what is required to contribute constructively and collaboratively and build an encyclopedia. Please review the guide to appealing blocks if you wish to appeal this block. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 14:03, 4 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
