Rewritten text for UIDAI

Please find below the rewritten text for the disputed copyvio. I await further examples of my vios.

According to Anupam Saraph, the UIDAI and its agencies bear no liability in law for criminal offences or privacy breaches effected under the scheme wherein the entire information, including biometric information, is processed by foreign corporates. As the UID scheme combines all a citizen's identifiers within a single number, UID misuse singularly exposes citizens to "unprecedented risk" when failure of a biometric verification results in individuals being disentitled from government benefits until the citizen is re-enrolled, a process controlled by politicians and bureaucrats.Notabede (talk) 18:24, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

This looks ok. I'm not here to provide you further examples, I've already told you that there's a lot more. Look through your contributions. —SpacemanSpiff 06:34, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
I cleaned up all my contribs. 8 days waiting for a clerk is outrageous for such a "High Importance" article. I'm waiting 24 hours then setting the page to a rewritten version. Please watch the article if you can.12:28, 1 November 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Notabede (talk • contribs)

Gaudiya Nritya

Please look into the edits over the past few days. Can we restrict edits to autoconfirmed users.Notabede (talk) 12:22, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chirayu Amin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Telegraph (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Spiff the users here a novice users and are new and don't have proper understanding of policies. Don't block them immediately instead try to reason with them to make them understand. Some of them might be involved with serious things including Sockpuppetry and Edit Warring. Sohambanerjee1998 15:12, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey spiff!

Hi Spiff! can you please protect my user page? It has been subject to retaliation again? Although the user has been indeffed I don't want someone other to edit my page (other than autoconfirmed) again (ever). Plus if my page cannot be protected on vandalism grounds I want you to consider my request as that of one in userspace per WP:UPROT. Sohambanerjee1998 09:53, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Using different language query

Hi, I have been trying to edit some pages in Hindi Wikipedia but the supported citations or URL's are very less (of the topic in Hindi language searching) in number in comparison to the same topic in English searching. My question: is it fair to support English or other language URL's and citations for editing in Hindi Wikipedia, and if yes then up to what extent? Please elaborate. Thanking for your co-operation.

@Work2win: Hi! SpacemanSpiff is away on a break since long. To answer your question, you may use as many non-Hindi sources as are required to make the content verifiable. The core thing is that content should be verifiable even if not all users can verify it. We do allow references which require special access permissions on web or offline books also. Same with non-Hindi sources. In case someone challenges the content, you can always ask some uninvolved editor to get the content verified. And being English, there would be plenty editors to help out in verification. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 10:23, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
