Disambiguation link notification for September 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Raghuji's Conquest of Orrisa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page State. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar 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) 19:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Parshuram Bhou moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Parshuram Bhou, 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.

Citations and close paraphrasing

Hi there. Why do you list all citations at the end of every paragraph? That defeats the point of citations verifying material. You might as well be writing "I have no clue what I'm writing about, but please believe that I do." A more serious problem is your occasional close paraphrasing, which is a serious issue and might result in you being blocked from editing. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:03, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Battle of Nesari

A tag has been placed on Battle of Nesari requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://archive.org/details/Shivaji-Eng-SethumadhavraoS.Pagadi/page/n51/mode/2up and see talk page. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:00, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
