Reference Errors on 2 April

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Datsun Go page, your edit caused a broken reference name (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:31, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

December 2014

Hello, I'm Vanamonde93. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Conversion of non-Muslim places of worship into mosques, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

July 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Ramayana, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Note that we also need to show all views that are significantly discussed in reliable published sources and not state that one is the only correct one Doug Weller (talk) 13:59, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Your addition to Taj Mahal 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 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. —SpacemanSpiff 15:31, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alert

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing.

Please stop adding irrelevant material to List of Brahmins

Please stop adding irrelevant material to List of Brahmins. See the edit summary here, by the user who removed your additions. Bishonen | talk 16:24, 8 February 2016 (UTC).

KINDLY ADD Mr ATAL BEHARI VAJPAYEE A HIGH CASTE UPMANYU BRAHMIN INT OTHE LIST

Please don't speak in all capitals to me (or to anybody else here). And please respond to what I said, instead of just continuing to add material to the list. Bishonen | talk 16:48, 8 February 2016 (UTC).

Ok If capital Letters are offensive for you , i dont mind, and i take i t as a request from your side. Still add the person. He has done lots of great work for India.

Thank you. Writing in all caps offends many on the Internet (it counts as shouting). Sorry, I'm not going to add anybody to that list, because I don't think those kinds of lists are useful. No disrespect to the person you mention. Bishonen | talk 16:57, 8 February 2016 (UTC).

Well i think i can add him, i believe nobody is offended. What do you say.

Sorry again, I'm just no judge of caste-related lists. You could try asking this user, or this. (Note: if you sign your posts on talkpages with four tildes, ~~~~, they will turn magically into your signature and a timestamp when you save.) Bishonen | talk 17:11, 8 February 2016 (UTC).

You cannot add his name unless you provide a reliable source that verifies he is a Brahmin. Furthermore, for living people we require that the source shows they self-identify as a Brahmin. You may find User:Sitush/Common#Castelists to be a useful read.

And, for what it is worth, I agree with Bishonen: these lists are just dreadful timesinks and serve no useful purpose other than caste vanity etc. I do wish there was some way to have all of them deleted, not just that particular one. - Sitush (talk) 17:42, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

I also notice that despite receiving a warning in October 2015 regarding violation of copyright, you appear to have repeated that mistake today with this edit to Zoroastrianism. The material can found found, for example, here in April 2001. Wikipedia takes copyright matters very seriously and you are likely to find yourself in trouble unless you desist from this behaviour. - Sitush (talk) 18:41, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

What evidence shall i provide to prove him that he has been into hindu movements and epitome of brahminism in india . pls help out.

Warning: don't copy text from other sources into Wikipedia

Sitush, above, is absolutely right about the importance of copyright in Wikipedia: you simply may not copy text from other sources into Wikipedia. See this policy and this more accessible brief overview. I understand that you are a good-faith editor trying to improve Wikipedia, but copyright violations can't be accepted. You have now been warned twice; if I learn that you've copied copyrighted text into one of our articles again, I will block you from editing. Please just don't do it. You have to use your own words.
