In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Vavuniya Saivapragasa Primary School

edit
 

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 Vavuniya Saivapragasa Primary School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vavuniya Saivapragasa Primary School. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Proposed deletion of Thisai Kovilkal

edit
 

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

Fails WP:NBUILDING, lacks significant coverage in multiple independent reliable secondary sources. Maps123.net; elisting.info; Mapio.net and Cartiograffe.com are not acceptable sources for establishing notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Weapon Letter moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Weapon Letter, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Verification of the school

In northern Sri Lanka, most schools have specific websites. However, they also maintain Facebook pages, which you can search to confirm their authenticity. This is why I couldn't provide a citation. Vavuniya Saivapragasa Primary School Zeus2107 (talk) 14:27, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I understand the type of citations you're asking for. If you assist me, I'll provide them; otherwise, I'll let you know if I can't.

  Thanks for contributing to the article Vipulanantha College. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you. Sam Kuru (talk) 16:02, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

As per my reply, please source your material first. Especially when adding puffery like "This remarkable journey reflects the enduring commitment of Vipulanantha College to excellence in education and community development" and other adcopy. We cannot use clearly-identified Wikipedia mirrors, and we need verifiable sources. You may also want to read WP:3RR at this point. Sam Kuru (talk) 16:02, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
