KakCheshtha
Welcome!
editHello, KakCheshtha, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially what you did for Narayana. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Tutorial

- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}}
before the question. Again, welcome! Sitush (talk) 01:28, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
Primary sources
editPlease could you have a read of WP:PRIMARY, which gives you some information regarding why it is inappropriate to use ancient Indic texts in the manner that you have recently been doing. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 17:12, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- This website source is an effort to translate Indic texts and not the Indic texts themselves. Their translation and interpretation would qualify as secondary sources in my opinion. If you notice these people are making quite a tedious effort at translating texts and if even these cannot be quoted what can beats me. KakCheshtha (talk) 17:27, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- Translations are still primary sources. I have recently had a similar discussion with CorrectKnowledge & you might care to review that user's talk page. Much of what you are adding to the article is inappropriate, and you will note from that talk page that this is not just my opinion. - Sitush (talk) 11:37, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Kudos! Excellent editing on Polycystic ovary syndrome
editHi KakChestha; Went to the Polycystic ovary syndrome article to edit, and noticed your extensive improvement of the information. Your edits are excellent, and are generally very beneficial to the article, and for that reason, I declined to alter any of the text; you are on a good path, and multiple hands can interrupt that, even if well-intentioned. I did notice, however, that, while you and I may have no problem reading some of those edits, since you obviously have no problem with scientific and medical jargon, the average reader is NOT a scientist, and that reader is the "audience" for Wikipedia might need information to be worded in a less technical manner. Still, keep up the good work; did not want to interrupt your flurry of good editing. --Anonymous209.6 (talk) 15:06, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Anonymous209.6 for the encouragement!! I will try to make my edits sound less technical. KakCheshtha (talk) 12:11, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!
editThe Editor's Barnstar | |
Thanks for your work at Polycystic ovary syndrome. I particularly enjoyed reading about the history of the disease. You might like to keep an eye on what we sometimes call "the doctors' mess". Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine is open to anyone who is interested in improving our medicine-related articles, and if you read and write more than one language, it has a translation project to assist other Wikipedias. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:56, 30 October 2012 (UTC) |
- Thanks WhatamIdoing for the Barnstar!! I was really touched that you took the time out for appreciating me. Sorry, for the late response, I just returned to wikipedia. I will definitely try to help with other medicine-related articles. KakCheshtha (talk) 13:34, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
- You're welcome, and welcome back! WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:15, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Exact concerns
editIn these edits [1] you added
- "Despite the heterogeneity in symptoms associated with PCOS, the essential feature is arrested follicular development at the stage when selection of the dominant follicle should normally occur." and ref states "Despite the heterogeneity of the symptoms associated with PCOS, the essential feature is arrested follicular development at the stage when selection of the dominant follicle should normally occur" [2]
- "Androgen excess can be tested by measuring total and free testosterone levels. Other androgens, such as DHEA-S, may be normal or slightly above the normal range in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) while levels of sex hormone–binding globulin (SHBG) are usually low in patients with PCOS. Androstenedione levels are also elevated in women with PCOS. This androgen precursor is 60% ovarian and 40% adrenal in derivation." and ref states "Androgen excess can be tested by measuring total and free testosterone levels or a free androgen index. An elevated free testosterone level is a sensitive indicator of androgen excess. Other androgens, such as dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), may be normal or slightly above the normal range in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). levels of sex hormone–binding globulin (SHBG) are usually low in patients with PCOS. Androstenedione levels are also elevated in women with PCOS. This androgen precursor is 60% ovarian and 40% adrenal in derivation."

March 2013
editPlease do not remove the {{copyvio}} template from articles, as you did with 666 Park Avenue. Your action has been reverted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted, and removing copyright notices will not help your case. You can properly contest the deletion at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. If you are the owner of the material, you may release the material under the Creative Commons and GFDL licenses, as detailed at WP:IOWN. Alternatively, you are welcome to create a draft in your own words at Talk:666 Park Avenue/Temp. If you continue to insert copyright violations and/or remove copyright notices, you may be blocked from editing. Psychonaut (talk) 09:26, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
- You should have checked the date the website was created before templating established users. Check the website date, it was created after I wrote the content on wikipedia. I have replied at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2013 March 27. Stop edit warring. --KakCheshtha (talk) 09:36, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
- Every single one of your substantial contributions appears to have been copied verbatim or closely paraphrased from non-free sources on the web—I suspect that editors will give very little credibility to your claim of authorship in this case. If you have evidence supporting it please post it at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2013 March 27. Regardless, you shouldn't remove the {{copyvio}} template from the article; it states quite clearly that only an administrator or copyright clerk may do so. Removing the template is considered vandalism and you will be blocked if you continue to do so. —Psychonaut (talk) 09:41, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
- It will take some time for me to go through all your claims (I am a busy person). But, in this case you are clearly wrong. You still haven't checked the date the website was created. You don't seem to know about copyright violations and how other websites copy from wikipedia WP:CIRCULAR. Please stick to WP:AGF. As far as removing template goes, when somebody is so obviously wrong WP:IAR applies. --KakCheshtha (talk) 09:48, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
- If I'm "clearly" wrong and reverse copying has occurred, then you should have no problem providing evidence of this, and the matter will be dealt with swiftly at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. In the meantime please don't attempt to subvert the normal investigation process. Thanks! —Psychonaut (talk) 09:53, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
- The webpage was created after I added content to wikipedia. The burden is on you to show why you are right. Other than the assumption of bad faith, I don't see any reasonable argument here. Thanks!!--KakCheshtha (talk) 09:59, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Addressing paraphrasing issues
editHi. I'm the admin who handled the copyright listings at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2013 March 27. I did see some substantial issues in articles, but investigation suggests that the TV episode summary was copied from you rather than the other way around. I wanted to let you know that and also to encourage you not to stop contributing. I realize that something like this must be extremely disheartening - I'd certainly be dismayed to discover that I had been violating a policy without realizing it - but it happens, and it is happened to some of our most active and prominent editors. If you're still interested in helping out (and I hope you will be, since I know how important Wikipedia is to readers around the world), it is something that can be overcome. It's simply a matter of learning how sources are used under our local rules. Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing is the best guide we have. Basically, we can't copy any text from our sources except in brief and clearly marked quotations unless we can prove that the source is public domain or compatibly licensed, and then we have to acknowledge that the material is copied. Otherwise, we have to accurately restate everything in our own words. (We even have to be careful sometimes with using the structure of our sources - you can change every word and still violate copyright under the U.S. law we have to follow. But the essay I link talks about how to avoid that, too.)
Anyway, it's obvious that you were working with the best of intentions, and I'm very sorry that you suffered this setback. I'm also sorry that the problems at WP:CP were not dealt with as swiftly as they should have been. We have a real shortage of admins working in that area. :(
If you have any questions about any of this, please feel welcome to come by my talk page. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:37, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
