Revision as of 14:53, 27 April 2020
April 2020
Hello, I'm Alivardi. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Battle of Badr, 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. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Alivardi (talk) 12:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Please see Misplaced Pages:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_172#Are_British_Raj_ethnographers_unreliable?. Colonial ethnographers are not reliable sources. Also, have a look at WP:HISTRS in general. utcursch | talk 22:34, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Gurjar, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. As explained above the source you used is not reliable enough. If you can find a reliable source to support this information, it can be added. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 08:40, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Judaism and violence
Please revisit Judaism_and_violence#Anti-Christian_violence and explain what you mean by "the new millennium". You might also want to reconsider using the term Middle East, which is not a historical term. Debresser (talk) 17:52, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for clarifying these issues in your subsequent edits. Debresser (talk) 13:22, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
General sanction alert
|
The Misplaced Pages community has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on any editor who is active on any page about social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties, related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or a topic ban. The discussion leading to the imposition of these sanctions can be read here.
Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Misplaced Pages:General sanctions/South Asian social groups. |

Topic ban warning
As you have been told, there is consensus on Misplaced Pages that British Raj etnographers are not reliable sources. If you continue to edit and edit war in defiance of that consensus, you are likely to be topic banned from articles on castes and social groups. Bishonen | tålk 03:17, 26 April 2020 (UTC).
Primary Sources
Hi. Please do not add material cited to primary sources to articles (except for quotes). See WP:PRIMARY for more information. --regentspark (comment) 00:00, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages and copyright
Hello Ulughu Khan, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Your additions to Rama 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 Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Misplaced Pages, 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 Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Misplaced Pages:Copyrights. You may also want to review Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste.
- 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 Misplaced Pages. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into 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 Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Misplaced Pages:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Misplaced Pages:Translation#How to translate. See also Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages.
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) 14:53, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
