Bihar School of Yoga
[edit]Hi, I have had to change a lot of what you did with these edits. You used a source that didn't support a word of the content in one section, another source that was just a copy of our article, and yet another that barely supported the very basics of another section.
It's good that you are trying to find sources but you do need to take care. It is obvious from the style of your edits that you are not new to Wikipedia but, whether you edit as a registered account or anonymously, the basics remain the same. - Sitush (talk) 01:52, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Sitush, sorry for the inconvenience, might have gone too fast on the first source. However, using your official website to justify your content isn't recommended on Wikipedia since it doesn't come from third party sources and might therefore be subjective rather than objective. That pretty much is the reason why I added sources the way I did. I guess finding some extra ones would be a good asset for your page to gain credibility. Wishing you a very good day, best regards.

Self-published sources
[edit]Hi, I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more references (external links) you added to the page Mudra, because they seemed to be self-published and inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Respected publishing houses have a professional structure in place for checking the expertise of authors, analyzing facts, evidence, and arguments.
Google Books (preview) or Google Scholar may help you to identify reliable sources. See also: Identifying reliable sources, WP:SPAM. Best regards JimRenge (talk) 08:10, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hey JimRenge, my bad. Tried my best to get trustworthy sources when I made updates. It's actually really hard to know which ones are self-made ones and which aren't when searching for Yoga sources. Will try my best to double check in the future. Wishing you a very good evening Hayrettin Van Aken (talk) 16:37, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Poor sources in BLPs
[edit]First, please do not link websites as publishers. Just the name of the site itself.
Second, I see that others have been concerned about the quality of sources you have been using. When it comes to BLPs, it is very important that we use reliable sources. Please be much more careful. [1] --Ronz (talk) 16:59, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hello Ronz, I get your point of view and I understand what you mean. However, it seems really hard to find proper sources in Yoga related topics since everybody is creating platforms to promote their products. I might sometime make mistakes but at least I am trying. Hayrettin Van Aken (talk) 08:11, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- Exactly. I wish there were easy solutions. You're correct that they're promoting products rather than furthering the knowledge and practice of yoga (as far as we can tell from what sources are available at least). --Ronz (talk) 15:44, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
