User talk:Marvelcanon1
Marvelcanon1, you are invited to the Teahouse!
[edit]Hi Marvelcanon1! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. We hope to see you there!
Delivered by HostBot on behalf of the Teahouse hosts 16:02, 25 September 2021 (UTC) |
Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

[edit] Hello, I'm Ms Sarah Welch. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kalki, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
Welcome to wikipedia. Please do not remove citations or insert text to misrepresent previously cited sources, and when you add something (such as this or this), please include a reliable source. Wikipedia is not a blogging site. Please review the links in the Welcome! section above particularly about verifiability and reliable sources. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 23:01, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hello
- In the personal information in Kalki, why did you remove the information about the brothers and their family? Marvelcanon1 (talk) 06:25, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Because "you didn't cite a source", in an otherwise well cited article. Please review the WP:V, WP:RS and WP:RSP, and guidelines therein. In infobox and the lead, whatever you add should be verifiable in the main article or cited to a reliable source. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 12:19, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

[edit]Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]Hello, Marvelcanon1. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Satyanarayan Puja, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. — DaxServer (talk) 12:17, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
October 2021
[edit]Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Satyanarayan Puja. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please do not unreliable sources as citations — DaxServer (talk) 13:26, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Kali (demon) into Kalki Purana. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 11:51, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Your drafts
[edit]As you've likely seen, I sent two back to draftspace and approved two others, with some caveats. Please see the tags I left at Kalki Jayanti and Rantideva. Both could use some much higher-quality sources, the first one needs to be linked from other articles, and the second one needs to be written less like a religious text, preferably with some content of the real-world impact of Rantideva as a figure, not just what religious texts say about him.
One more important thing: A paragraph of the Rantideva article was mostly copying https://sacred-texts.com/hin/m07/m07064.htm. I've removed that paragraph, but in the future, please be very careful with copying other sources. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 03:50, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

[edit]Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Bhakti Marga (organisation), you may be blocked from editing. You removed sourced text and replaced it with unsourced Doug Weller talk 12:37, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Doug Weller, is there a way to rectify my mistake? Marvelcanon1 (talk) 12:47, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Bhakti Marga (organisation) has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Your edit summary only said you added information, but as you deleted sourced text to do that, not admitting that was misleading Doug Weller talk 12:39, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- I'm very late here, but this wasn't the appropriate warning – as far as I can see, Marvelcanon1 didn't vandalise the article, but used a misleading edit summary (apparently by accident). There's a template for that at Template:Uw-wrongsummary (alternatively Template:Uw-mislead1 and so on), so if you must template the regulars you should use that instead. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 12:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
Warning
[edit]Hindu mythology is a perfectly acceptable term. Please do not do mass deletions, which can invite sanctions. You can open a discussion at the talk page of that page if you wish, and obtain a WP:CONSENSUS. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:11, 8 October 2024 (UTC) moved down from an earlier section
You need to immediately stop systematically removing "myth" and "mythology" from articles referencing Hindu mythology, or you will be blocked. It is very disruptive, especially on such a scale.
