Adding reference to Wikipedia articles

Hello Vikram Nankani! Please do not forget to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Adding well-formatted references is easy.

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "cite". Click on it.
Then click on "templates".
Choose the most appropriate template and then fill all relevant details. You can start with the field (e.g. URL) that has a magnifying glass icon and then click the magnifying glass to automatically populate the fields for you.

This will add a well-formatted reference, which will allow other people to see where you got your information from. You can read more about this at Help:Edit toolbar, or watch this video: File:RefTools.ogv. Thanks and regards. —DBig Xrayᗙ 10:43, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

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:

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!

WP:BRD

I have re-reverted your edit to the Hinduism in Pakistan page because even if we set aside due weight concerns that Pepperbeast had raised, we will need a reliable source for the Hindu population per district. Do you know if the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics collects and publishes such information? I didn't find it in the pdf you linked, and advocacy groups like Pakistan Hindu Council are not a reliable source for such data especially if they don't specify how they obtained it.

More generally, if an edit of yours is reverted in good faith, it behooves you to discuss the issue on the article talkpage rather than simply trying to "force" that edit through by repetition. See WP:BRD for related information. Abecedare (talk) 17:02, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Tharparkar cattle into Tharparkar District. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:40, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Tharparkar District, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 18:59, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

September 2019

Hello, I'm Sitush. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Bania (caste), 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 the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sitush (talk) 17:20, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sitush, thank you for pointing out this matter where I was actually confused just before publishing it.

If you check the links in the content I added were from Wikipedia pages which clearly has details about the historic usage. For the same I felt that adding links to other Wikipedia pages would be better than adding them as references. If one takes some time to go through those (other) linked wikipedia articles, may agree with the content.
Another point was normally a term or name or title in many Wikipedia articles is written in different languages on very first line or infobox. So normally references are not provided in specifying every individual language name for the term since anybody can search and verify that individual term(in particular language). I could have done same and added that in very first line but I felt the word has already several synonyms list in first line and further adding all names in different languages would be cumbersome. Knowing that this term is in use at a very wide scope geographically I thought to make new heading to keep details how different languages refer it which I believe will be organized way and most suitable for readability.

So kindly let me know if these both types of content(in 2 heading) which I added require any additional references? Or they are ok to be directly accepted. Regards. --Vikram Nankani (talk) 18:17, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with File:Dahli.svg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Dahli.svg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:51, 28 September 2019 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 18:51, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Magog the Ogre as specified by you I have asked my question at Media copyright questions page. Kindly let me know what can be done further? --Vikram Nankani (talk) 03:13, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tharparkar ‎images

Hello Vikram Nankani, please explain what this image is elaborating that the rest of the Tharparkar article is not? Your revert comment states: "It is unfortunate to see rather than to elaborate the topics or sub-topics for such critical article, images are removed which actually elaborates or covers more details already missing in the article." The article already has 66 images and 3 are of a peafowl. Thank you. // sikander { talk } 🦖 01:37, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi sikander, water resources missing for wildlife has turned to be severe threat. If you observe the picture you will find the peafowl on a water tank (also other water tank in surroundings). While this desert region is missing a sanctuary for peafowl, they are forced to roam for water and often seen near water tanks in case they find some overflow water to drink. Severe water shortage is one of biggest threat to life of people in Thar and also to peafowl which is cultural identity of Thar. Regards. --Vikram Nankani (talk) 03:12, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Vikram Nankani: OK, a photo depicting the problem of water scarcity and an animal looking for water on top of a water tank is informative. Thank you for the explanation.

However, please consider reducing the number of images on this page. There are just too many! For example:

Also, not sure how important these images are to the article:

Consider removing a few of these duplicates. Regards. // sikander { talk } 🦖 03:30, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
