Welcome!

Hello, Gayatri23, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like BSc Animation, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of BSc Animation

edit
 

A tag has been placed on BSc Animation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. missrain(talk) 07:04, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. TheLetterM (talk) 08:19, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Centre for Atomic & Molecular Physics

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Centre for Atomic & Molecular Physics requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ttonyb (talk) 10:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Centre for Atomic & Molecular Physics. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ttonyb (talk) 10:58, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

FYI conflict of interest guideline

edit

  If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia in Manipal Institute of Jewellery Management or other articles, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. — Athaenara 11:10, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

KMCIC Page

edit

Please don't delete the information I have included on the KMCIC page here in wiki. This has been designed to specifically refute misinformation someone is trying to spread about KMCIC and AUA. If you would like to ADD information, please do so. However I would appreciate it if you would leave the current information as is.

Manipal College of Allied Health Sciences

edit

Hello -- I have marked this article for speedy deletion. It is not permissible to create a Wikipedia article by copying directly from a copyrighted web page. You must either get permission to use the material, or rewrite the information in your own words. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 17:45, 22 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I'm afraid I've also had to delete the following articles, all of which were copied from other websites:

I've also removed some of your additions to other articles. As mentioned above, Wikipedia's copyright policy means that we can't accept text you've copied and pasted from other sites: doing so violates the author's copyright. Rephrasing information in your own words is OK, as long as the topics meet our 'notability' guideline which says what things we do and don't create articles about. You might want to look over that, and Your first article, before creating any more pages. Please let me know if you have any questions or want help with anything - you can contact me at my talk pgae. Happy editing! Olaf Davis (talk) 17:47, 23 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please stop

edit

Let me make this as clear as I can. You may not copy text from other sources and place it in Wikipedia as such. This is a copyright violation, and it looks like you have been doing this for some time, despite repeated warnings above to stop. If you continue in this regard, you will be blocked from continued editing. Consider this your final warning. If you wish to contribute to Wikipedia, please do so using your own words, and instead of copying text wholesale, just read that text, think about it, come up with your own original prose, and cite the source it came from. Take some time to get to know Wikipedia's basic principles before continuing. --Jayron32 18:44, 23 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your email re. the above deletions

edit

Hi Gayatri23. Sorry for not replying to your email earlier. I have several points to make in response:

  1. You said that you work for Manipal University so you can reproduce the copyrighted pages. Since Wikipedia editing is fundamentally anonymous, we need you to provide some proof that you have the copyright holder's permission. You can establish that by emailing the Wikimedia Foundation as described at this page. Note though that because of the way Wikipedia is licensed, the material will need to be released under a license which allows anyone to modify and reuse it, including for profit. If that's a problem then we can't accept the text.
  2. With the copyright issue aside, there's the question of whether the articles are suitable for Wikipedia. Our standard for inclusion is called notability, and basically means that for a subject to have an article it must have received significant coverage in reliable sources - newspapers, books, journals and the like. You might want to read over the guideline at Wikipedia:Notability and check that your articles meet it; it's likely that separate articles on all the departments you were creating are not really justified.
  3. Another important Wikipedia policy is neutral point of view: several of your articles read like promotional material for the departments rather than neutral encyclopedia articles and would therefore need to be rewritten. This was also the problem with the edits you made to existing pages on the university.
  4. Finally, since you say you're an employee of the Universtiy, you should read our conflict of interest guideline: in general we strongly discourage people from writing about their own organisations or employers - precisely because it can be so hard to maintain the neutral tone I mentioned above. Instead it's often better to propose a new article, for example by placing it in your user area at User:Gayatri23/Sandbox, and ask for other editors' feedback first.

I hope that all makes sense. Please let me know if I can help you with anything I mentioned above or you have more questions. If you establish that you do have permission from the copyright holder then I'll be happy to provide you with a copy of the deleted articles, but they'll still need rewriting and citing to reliable sources as I said above.
