[edit]Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
I noticed your recent edit to Delhi does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
- User contributions
- Recent changes
- Watchlists
- Revision differences
- IRC channels
- Related changes
- New pages list and
- Article editing history
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Bongan® →TalkToMe← 23:14, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
Unsourced additions
[edit]Please do not add or change content, as you did at Faridabad, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 18:26, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
Removal of maintenance templates
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Faridabad. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 18:16, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Please stop edit warring to insert unsourced praise and puffery into Faridabad. Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written in a neutral way. If you have a reliable source — not brochures or other promotion — that says the schools "provide quality education" and the private hospitals "provide quality healthcare services" and are "leading", then please include it.
I'm sorry, but the list of top ten schools in Hindustan Times that you refer to is obviously promotional — it reads as if the entries have been submitted by the schools themselves. "Across a sprawling green 9 acre campus, the school houses a spacious auditorium"
, etc etc — that is the language of advertising. There's not the slightest breath of criticism of any school, and it's never explained where the "scores" mentioned in HT — scores for ‘competence of teachers’, ‘teacher care and development’, ‘extra-curricular activities’, ‘value for money’, etc — come from, or how they are calculated. And for the private hospitals, you simply link to their own websites — obviously those are going to praise their quality, what else? See also the policy against edit warring: click here.

- Please read WP:RS and WP:SPS. Government tourism sites have AS THEIR CHARTER PURPOSE the duty to promote their town. They are not suitable sources for providing non-promotional content. We want what non-involved third parties have to say so that we are providing a neutral point of view, that covers all aspects, not just the good ones. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 09:07, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
Discretionary sanctions for Indian pages
[edit]Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Bishonen | talk 20:36, 26 October 2015 (UTC).
External links
[edit]Hello, I'm Arjayay. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Faridabad. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines, but the links to Hospital websites which you added, do not meet these guidelines, so please do not add them there in this article. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 13:11, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for November 30
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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) 09:27, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Removal of maintenance tag - again
[edit]Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Faridabad, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 10:11, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello RISHABHNAGPAL20, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Delhi Metro have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:17, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
