[edit]Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to List of Jains. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:36, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
[edit]Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Fasting in Jainism to fasting (your addition has since been removed). 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. 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. 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:40, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
Addition like this one requires a relaible source which shows that the subject self-identify with a particular religion, caste, clan, etc. - NitinMlk (talk) 19:51, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
Edit summaries
[edit]You have already been told not to add original research / synthesis above. Please do not cover up such edits with misleading edit summaries as you did here. Also, taking screenshots of copyrighted works doesn't make them your own work -- please do not upload such images to Wikipedia. Finally, have a look at WP:RS and WP:HISTRS -- random websites are not acceptable sources for history-related articles. utcursch | talk 14:39, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
Discretionary sanctions alert notice

- In spite of my last year's suggestion, you again introduced a BLP violation with this edit. And you also used a misleading edit summary. So please do not add religion/caste in BLPs without self-identification – see here & here for details. - NitinMlk (talk) 22:34, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello Solariseknight! Your additions to Mandar Parvat have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:11, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Mirrors
[edit] Thanks for contributing to the article Jahaz Haveli. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.
