User talk:Spedian

Welcome!

Hello, Spedian, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Goud Saraswat Brahmin have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Re: User_talk:Granuator Again Added unexplained, uncited and unverified contents to Kashi Math

Unfortunately the admin community deemed Granuator's edits as a content issue, thus a reluctance to block in this case. It seems the latest Granuator edits did include a few references, although these had much unsourced text, and some of the references could be questioned for reliable sources. The Wikipedia:Dispute resolution process was recommended - you can raise the Kashi Math issue at WP:DRN for further action, although it may be appropriate to wait to see if Granuator tries problematic edits again.

Ya. lets wait & see. If he continue the same, we shall think about the further actions. Spedian (talk) 09:40, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures of Swamijis for Kashi Math

I note your request for assistance with uploads for the pictures. First, I'm unable to determine the actual copyright status of the images, so I would be reluctant to try and upload these until it can be determined that the pictures will be allowed on Wikipedia, especially if other editors challenge the source and copyright status. There are several policies about "free" versus copyrighted content, which you should take some time to review: Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright, Wikipedia:Image use policy and Wikipedia:Non-free content. For example, "fair use" of pictures of living persons tends to be discouraged on Wikipedia since it may be possible to obtain free-licenced pictures instead. If you are able to determine that the pictures can fall under one of the allowable free licences, or if you are able to obtain free-licenced pictures, these can be uploaded. I hope this explains the situation with respect to the images, and hope there may be a way to proceed under WP policies. Dl2000 (talk) 00:43, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Dl2000. Let me check, what type of Images are those.. Regards Spedian (talk) 06:19, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

June 2013

Hello, I'm Sitush. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Kashi Math, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sitush (talk) 16:12, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sitush (talk), I'm going to add new Details with Reliable Source. Kindly check and verify whatever I add. But Before removing you must ask me .. Thanks & Regards Spedian (talk) 17:10, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, have you read WP:RS yet? We need sources that are independent of the place, otherwise the entire article could be deleted. Which, incidentally, would probably not be a bad thing because the quality of GSB-related articles is truly appalling. - Sitush (talk) 18:44, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Kashi Math has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

I am sorry because you must be getting fed up of me. Your latest efforts are clear breaches of copyright and we simply cannot do this. Sitush (talk) 18:58, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sitush, If i add something in my own words, you are telling not from Reliable source. If I add something from Reliable website, you are telling Copyright. We are not using any images which are published in those websites. only the information they are providing in public we are taking. So How it violates Copy Right? Spedian (talk) 19:02, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kashi Math edits

From what I can understand the edits are copies from newspaper articles or from the Kashi Math and/or other sites. Also it looks that some of the edits are based on what the editor personally knows of the Kashi Math and not verifiable on news and other available articles called original writing. Regarding copy violation from other sites, the editors have to take care to word the section, sentence such that it is different from the original. Regarding original thought/writing it simply cannot be published. You should have some reference to back it up with. Also citing the Kashi Math site should be the last source since a good cite should from reliable third party sources. So if you are writing an article on my company the cites should not be from my company website. Likewise here on the Kashi Math website. Editor Sitush is right in what he mentions though I can understand you predicament.--PremKudva^Talk 03:28, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Prem, By Third party Sources means, Will it be any website or news which is available in internet other than official websites? Spedian (talk) 06:50, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Preferably news sources. Kashi Math is a notable article and has loads of references in the news sites. Meanwhile when other sources do not exist you may use the official website, but you should not copy it word to word. The reverts of much of the article I notice is because it was a copy paste from the official and other websites.--PremKudva^Talk 04:57, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Prem for ur Valuable Guidance. Spedian (talk) 06:17, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Kashi Math. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Sitush (talk) 08:45, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Spedian, I suggest you start creating the section that you want to add and request Spedian to review. For this create these sections in your userspace [can be retained on deleted later] ie either in your sandbox, or by creating a new page like Kashi Math edits. I will not be able to help much in the article since I am not much knowledgeable in that area. But can drop in time to time if you want.--PremKudva^Talk 11:23, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SPOILER

Hi, please do not arbitrarily remove content from articles as you did to Drishyam, here. If you were trying to remove spoilers, please be aware that Wikipedia is not censored, no do we remove content simply because it is regarded as a spoiler. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:59, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
