July 2020 edit
Hello. Your recent edit to List of people from Thiruvananthapuram appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Removal of sourced information edit
Hello RamRaghubn, thank you for your interest in improving Wikipedia. But please do not remove sourced information, unless you dispute the reliability of these sources or have other reliable sources with differing information. Anyway, for such disputes about sourced content it is usually better to initiate a discussion on article talk first, to get feedback from other editors and to gather consensus for possibly controversial changes. If you have questions about editing Wikipedia, I recommend to ask at WP:Teahouse where volunteers will be glad to help. GermanJoe (talk) 09:07, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
Rahul Easwar edit
Hi there, I reverted some of this edit you made. Your edit summary incorrectly indicated that there were grammar errors, when I couldn't find any, and even if there had been, we don't fix errors with "narration", whatever that means in this context. I did notice that there was a mistake in identifying the deity, so that fix was constructive, thank you.
Additionally, the references surrounding content you changed is pretty clear that they are talking about cultural beliefs, and it's not clear how "popularized" would be a better word, which sounds like we're talking about the whole world's opinion, vs the opinion of a specific culture, so that statement I restored to "cultural".

Wikipedia and copyright edit
Hello RamRaghubn, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Attukal Temple have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- 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 the 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 legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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. — Diannaa (talk) 20:52, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

| | This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has enacted a more stringent set of rules.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. |
This is with regard to your inclusion of links to pseudoscientific material re the treatment and identification of COVID-19. Before reintroducing this material please discuss on the article's talk page. PainProf (talk) 18:32, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Gaming the system edit
From your edit history, it's extremely obvious that you gamed the system to get around the intent of the extended confirmed user access level by issuing hundreds of welcome messages. Don't be disruptive. Ravensfire (talk) 17:29, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- User:Ravensfire I would like to deny that allegation of being disruptive. The Welcome messages weren't random edits and rather can only be done after verifying whether the user has made any constructive edits/contributions to Wikipedia. As you can see I joined wikipedia in July, 2020 and not an expert of Wikipedia policies and procedures as you are. However, based on my understanding of the WP:DIS policy I can say that I wasn't doing anything that can be classified as disruptive editing. RamRaghubn (talk) 18:36, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- RamRaghubn, cool - I'll raise this at WP:ANI for further review. Ravensfire (talk) 20:57, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- User:Ravensfire, Please feel free to. Also want to deny the allegation of Gaming the system. RamRaghubn (talk) 21:11, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- RamRaghubn, it's been created. I find your "good faith" explanation greatly at odds with the high speed of your edits and your admission in an unblock request that you were just going through the user create log. Let's be honest, you were padding your edit count to get to 500 edits so you could EC. That's called gaming the system. Ravensfire (talk) 21:14, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is RamRaghubn - Gaming the system. Thank you. Ravensfire (talk) 21:12, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
