Nagesvara Temple, Bhubaneswar

Your new article has several issues that need to be addressed, and has been tagged accordingly. If you click on the links in the maintenance message on the article, it will lead you to various Wikipedia essays and guidelines that can help you clean up your article. However, the main problem appears to be that, based on the language and formatting of the raw text (i.e. the text when viewed in edit mode), it appears that you have copied this document from elsewhere. This would be a copyright violation, and cannot be allowed to remain. If you can rewrite the article in your own words, this might help. Also, you should realize that text that might be appropriate for an architectural survey report might not be appropriate for Wikipedia, because it is too detailed, and relies too heavily on a level of knowledge not held by the general readership of Wikipedia. Specifically, your article makes use of a great number of terms related to Hindu temple architecture that the general public will not understand, and therefore the article does not actually provide any information. I hope you can address these concerns. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:13, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Nanthikesvaran Shiva temple

The article Nanthikesvaran Shiva temple has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Duplicate of Nilkantheswar Shiva temple.

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. — Bill william compton^Talk 08:10, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nagesvara Temple, Bhubaneswar

This change is not helpful. The text you have added (restored) includes vast swaths of description that are not meaningful to anyone other than a dedicated student of Indian architecture, including many words that do not appear to have any meaning whatsoever in English. Remember that this is an Encyclopedia, not an Indian architecture text. Remember also that, if the text you have added is copied from some other source, it represents a copyright violation. Please discuss this change so we can come to a consensus on it. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:06, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation

The section of text that I just removed from Nagesvara Temple, Bhubaneswar contained, among other things, an embedded page number (page 305 to be exact) which assures me that this material was copied verbatim from another sources. This is not allowed. Do not restore that information. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 21:51, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tips to help you with article writing

Hi Aditkhare, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)

First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, staring with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to follow. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.

Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:Aditkhare/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.

For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).

Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between <ref></ref> tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted citations :o) It all helps. Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type {{reflist}} on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.

Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you. Pesky (talk …stalk!) 02:50, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How references work

Simple references

These require two parts;

a)

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>

b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";

== References ==
{{reflist}}

(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)

To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:Aditkhare/reftest and try it out.

Named references

Chzz was born in 1837. <ref name=MyBook>
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. 
</ref> 

Chzz lives in Footown.<ref name=MyBook/>

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates

You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation
 | last = Smith
 | first = John
 | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century
 | publication-date = 2001
 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]]
 | page = 125
 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4
}}
</ref>

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.
