Sourcing

Hi, this is obviously you. Your edit summary may be correct in academia but it is not how it works on Wikipedia. We try to avoid primary sources, except in limited circumstances, and we also avoid sources from the Raj era. I am not entirely sure that you should even be editing the article if you are the Raman Nair who authored the book but, regardless, we will always prefer modern reliable, independent scholarship over that which is old or connected to the article subject. - Sitush (talk) 18:16, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. R. Raman Nair (talk) 06:27, 12 October 2016 (UTC) If it is a Wikipedia policy to avoid primary sources/as well as Raj era sources it needs to be put for a participative discussion. Wikipedia into which millions of authors like you contribute spending time and effort; need to sustain these contributions and achieve maximum authenticity as possible. When there is controversy or an intentional destruction; for settling them and for improvements and changes we need to rely on primary and authentic sources.[reply]

Prof E Sreedharan moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Prof E Sreedharan, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

Your draft article, Draft:Prof E Sreedharan

Hello, Dr. R. Raman Nair. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Prof E Sreedharan".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:12, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
