Hi Agawas, your edits on Shantadurga Kalangutkarin Temple seem to be experimental; there are better places to test Wikipedia's formatting than an article which people want to read. Those include:

• your user page
• Wikipedia's sandbox

As of now the edits you're making are having a negative impact on the article, and that's annoying some other editors (and the people reading the article). If you have questions, ping me here. Cheers, Airplaneman ✈ 16:58, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Shree Betal temple requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag.

Please could you take a look at WP:See also before yet again inserting long lists at various Saraswat Brahmin articles. Those lists were inappropriate. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 16:19, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gawas

The article Gawas has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced and, well, is every surname notable? Where will it end? I know that we have some Surname articles but a line has to be drawn somewhere.

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. Sitush (talk) 16:31, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Although you have written that this is a common surname, I could not find any articles about notable people with this name in Wikipedia, nor in the Times of India. Also, you seem to have written it from from personal family history, but that's also not a good start here (see No original research). Ancestry.com and ancestry.co.uk have a few records of this name but don't confirm any of the contents of the article; I'm not aware of any similar database in India. Until there are reliable sources about this name, and evidence of notability, I don't think we can rescue the page. – Fayenatic London 18:32, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Narayan Rane.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Narayan Rane.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Sharvani devasthan

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Sharvani devasthan, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.wikimapia.org/348519/Sharvani-Devastan-Advalpal.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 10:00, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sharvani devasthan

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 Sharvani devasthan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Patchy1 10:04, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jyotirlinga, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Parli (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:11, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
