June 2016

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Ravana may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• "Rāvana" was a title taken on later by Dashananda, and it means in Sanskrit, "screamer." (Ravana would sing hymns.<ref>''Ramayana'' By William Buck, Barend A. van Nooten, Shirley Triest</

Speedy deletion nomination of Vamana (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Vamana (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
• disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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 removed 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. Gbawden (talk) 09:02, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Copyvio and Plagiarism policies of wikipedia

@Rugged Player: Please review wikipedia's WP:Plag and WP:Copyvio policies. If you copy-paste entire sentences, as you did in Kapila, you must attribute in line and in text. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 00:50, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages

Hi there and thank you for your contributions. I just wanted to point out that disambiguation pages are there only as navigation aids: they help readers get to the article they need. For that reason, every entry in a disambiguation page has to have one link to a relevant article (please see MOS:DAB). If you'd like to add a list of persons with the same name and most of them don't have their own articles here, it's most sensible to create a separate name article (for example Ravana (name)), list the people there, and then add to the disambiguation page only a link to the name article. The manual of style for name articles is at MOS:APO. Don't hesitate to let me know if you need any help with that. Thanks! Uanfala (talk) 22:23, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Asceticism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Devas. 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.

Your contributions, WP:REF and WP:DUE

@Rugged Player: your contributions are welcome and appreciated.

Please review WP:REF and provide sufficient details of the source, particularly the name of the author, the year of publication, the ISBN or url, and the publisher name so that we can collaboratively establish whether the source meets the WP:RS requirements of wikipedia. You may find this wikipedia tool useful for this, where you can paste a google book url, click load, and it automatically generates the wikipedia reference code for that cite.

Please review WP:COATRACK and WP:DUE, and avoid adding content that is offtopic or digresses from the subject of the article. For instance, yoga is not asceticism, and adding yoga discussion to the asceticism article is inappropriate unless a reliable source explains/interprets it that way. Thank you, Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 02:53, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
