Welcome!

Hello, Jnanadevm, 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, such as Treble (sound), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Proposed deletion of Treble (sound) edit

 

The article Treble (sound) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced, little more than dictionary definitions, nothing coherent enough to merit an encyclopedia article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Photoablation edit

 

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 Photoablation 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Double recessive edit

 

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 Double recessive requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. LegacyOfValor (talk) 09:03, 22 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

More copyright violations edit

Jnanadevm, as you can see the articles that I tagged have been deleted. There are several others that I could tag - but now that you know the copyright policy, it would be better for everyone if you requested deletion of the rest yourself. You can do this by adding the tag {{db-g7}} to the top of each article. RockMagnetist (talk) 23:14, 25 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

My suggestions edit

Jnanadevm, I do believe that you were not intending to violate copyright law. I took a severe approach to these articles for a number of reasons:

  1. You had created several articles with copyrighted material, and introduced copyrighted material into at least one established article (Elasticity (physics)).
  2. Many of the new articles would not be acceptable anyway because they are little more than dictionary definitions (see the tag on Doublet (spectroscopy)).

So I wanted to make sure you realized that this is an important issue.

Here is what I suggest you do:

  1. Copy the articles into your user space (for example, move Doublet (spectroscopy) to User:Jnanadevm/Doublet (spectroscopy)). See How to move a page.
  2. Read Wikipedia:Starting an article, especially And be careful about....
  3. Look for at least 3 sources for each article, and write a more complete article in your user space.
  4. Ask someone's opinion of the article.
  5. Move it back into article space.

I know this will be difficult because you are doing it on a mobile device. However, if you can access Wikipedia then you can access a search engine like Google, and you can search on terms like "Cryometer". I tried that, and discovered that it was hard to find good information on it. That may be a sign that the subject is not notable, and therefore not suitable for a Wikipedia article. However, if you dig deep enough you might find the information you need to make a good stub article. RockMagnetist (talk) 16:58, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

An administrator has corrected me - copyrighted material can't exist even in user space. So you need to request deletion for your pages and start over. Sorry. RockMagnetist (talk) 21:10, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits edit

  Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button   or   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 06:43, 27 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Concerns about your editing edit

Hello, Jnanadevm. I am glad to see from your recent messages at User talk:RockMagnetist that you are now taking note of copyright issues. However, there are several issues which still give me concern. You were informed about copyright issues with your editing as far back as 20 December 2011, and yet you have continued to create articles by copying content from other sources, including at least five within the last week. Only when you received a whole string of notifications in a short time did you start to take notice.

In addition to articles which had already been deleted as copyright infringements, I have found another seven and deleted them. This also encourages me to wonder whether other articles you have created may also be copyright infringements, for which I have not managed to find sources. This doubt is increased by another observation. A significant proportion of your edits are written in incoherent English, indicating that you are not a native speaker of English, and that your competence at English is not very great. Alongside these, however, are some contributions which are expressed in perfectly good English. Given your known history of copyright violations, I have to wonder if these contributions in good English are copied from somewhere.

It would be helpful if you would tell us if any of your contributions which have not been reverted or deleted are copied from somewhere, and if so from where. In particular, please do so for those articles which you created and which have not yet been deleted, namely Cryometer, Cascade liquefier, Photoablation, Capsulotomy, Treble (sound) and Gobi manchurian. This should include not only exact word for word copying, but also close paraphrasing. That refers to taking content from somewhere else, and slightly changing the wording, but in a way which still leaves the content recognisable as based on the source from which you have copied. I notice that you have sometimes used close paraphrasing. There is a common, but mistaken, belief, that as long as you change the words a bit from the original, your copy does not count as copyright infringement.

You have made some useful contributions to Wikipedia, including reverting vandalism in some articles. That has been very helpful, and if you can continue to help in such ways then that will be very welcome. However, as far as writing new content is concerned, you may like to consider contributing instead to a Wikipedia in a language you are more at home with, rather than English Wikipedia. A full list of Wikipedias is here. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:37, 27 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Since writing the above, I have found the source from which you copied Cascade liquefier, and deleted it. It may save a good deal of time and effort searching for sources if you can tell us if there are any more cases. JamesBWatson (talk) 09

Researching cryometry edit

Jnanadevm, I am sorry this process is so frustrating for you. I know that it is difficult to find good sources for cryometer because I tried it myself. However, it can be done once you realize that cryometer is not the best title for the article. There are good references under search terms like low temperature thermometry and cryogenic thermometry. I accumulated a few in User:RockMagnetist/Drafts/Cryogenic thermometry. Have a look at them - can you access the content? For the books, I use Google Book search and I get pretty good previews.

Please don't feel that your effort is wasted - you have inspired me to spend a couple of hours looking for information on the subject! Also, if you need some external feedback on articles before creating them, you could try using Wikipedia:Articles for creation. When you do that, also contact an appropriate WikiProject (for example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics would be a good one for cryometer) and ask for feedback.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Elasticity versus load graph.jpeg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Elasticity versus load graph.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated.

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 deleted 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.
