January 2014

Hello, I'm JMHamo. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Kevin De Bruyne, 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 need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Replaceable fair use File:MATA DURING HIS FIRST INTERVIEW AS MANCHESTER UNITED PLAYER.png

Thanks for uploading File:MATA DURING HIS FIRST INTERVIEW AS MANCHESTER UNITED PLAYER.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof (talk) 04:49, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

May 2014

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Darkness Shines (talk) 07:15, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

September 2014

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Bhumihar, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Bbb23 (talk) 23:54, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

February 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to M. S. Golwalkar, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. NeilN ^{talk to me} 14:22, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to M. S. Golwalkar 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. Bbb23 (talk) 16:23, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. NeilN ^{talk to me} 08:29, 15 February 2015 (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 M. S. Golwalkar. 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 discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and 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. NeilN ^{talk to me} 08:46, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violations

Final warning. I already warned you once that the wall of text you added to M. S. Golwalkar was a copyright violation. You've apparently responded by shifting a few words here and there but still copying verbatim significant portions of the author's text. I just removed what you added to the WP:RSN as a copyright violation. If you do this again anywhere on Wikipedia, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:14, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

Some stroopwafels for you!

Talk:Rajiv Malhotra

Hi VibrantBabhan. That Malhotra has been alleged of plagiarism is out of the question; the only question is what we are going to write about that, and what not. Please contribute to that question, instead of questioning the allegations themselves and trying to prevent this fact from being mentioned. You're diverting the discussion now, which hinders the attempts to come to a WP:CONCENSUS. Please try to understand this, and contribute in a constructive way.

Discretionary sanctions notification - India, Pakistan, and Afganistan

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

I have not edited any page related to India, Pakistan or Afghanistan. In last few days I have edited only talk page of Rajiv Malhotra. Kindly, elaborate what do you want to say. VibrantBabhan (talk) 09:30, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infact I want to talk to you. It appears on the talk page of Rajiv Malhotra certain activities are going on which are harmful for the image of Rajiv Malhotra. People there are presenting only one view. They are not ready to take the other view. There are various secondary sources which are presenting the other view. But, people are not ready those things in the section which they want to edit. Kindly, see all the links provided on the talk page of Rajiv Malhotra. VibrantBabhan (talk) 09:34, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi VibrantBabhan, as an Indian-American author on Indian history Rajiv Malhotra is related to India. It looks to me that the other editors on the talk have considered your point of view but don't agree because there are adequate reliable sources which support their point of view. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:52, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am not saying that their source in not reliable. There source is reliable. But their source is presenting only one view. On the otherhand, the sources which I am presenting carries other view. My sources are also reliable. As you can see the sources which I have presented are news websites. So, to make a fair and balanced article, the other view also need to be presented. That is all I and few others want to say. Look into it. VibrantBabhan (talk) 10:51, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The notice doesn't mean that you've breached the sanctions. However, your behavior on that page is covered by the sanctions, so you now need to be careful not to breach them. I suggest you read them again carefully. Doug Weller (talk) 10:55, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The proposal I've made covers both sides, and also includes responses by Malhotra. See Talk:Rajiv Malhotra#Proposal. Keep in mind that we have to cooperate here at Wikipedia, being a group of editors with sometimes very different opinions and preferences. The proposal has to include several sides, and be as neutral as possible, which means that you'll also have to tolerate info which you don't like. Wikipedia is not a WP:SOAPBOX, not a WP:BATTLEGROUND, and not a place to fight with all means for The Truth. Your side is covered, I think; try also to see the other sides, also/especially when you don't agree with them. Take also note that saying that only one view is presented is WP:TENDENTIOUS. If you want to contribute in a constructive way, avoid that, and instead try to explain what bothers you, and what alternatives you see. Your opinion counts too, and I try my best to incorporate different opinions. Take care, and best regards, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 13:50, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Sarojini Naidu Medical College Logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Sarojini Naidu Medical College Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:28, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
