Avoiding copyright problems

Hello, and welcome. Your addition to Ansif Ashraf has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

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 a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia: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. (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 information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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 visit me at my talk page. Thank you. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 13:07, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

July 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to MP Joseph may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

* The Reenu Sandhu Gold Medal of the 1978 batch of the Indian Administrative Service IAS).

November 2013

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. 220 of ^Borg 14:41, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Rashid Al Leem

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Rashid Al Leem, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Ruby Murray 15:01, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Mufti Menk

The article Mufti Menk has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I see no clear evidence of notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for February 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kerala State Business Excellence Awards, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page K. C. Joseph. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rashid Al Leem

Hello Agi wiki,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rashid Al Leem for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Nicky mathew (talk) 10:31, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

August 2015

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to MP Joseph, 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. Dl2000 (talk) 01:34, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ismail ibn Musa Menk

Citations to reliable, authoritative, and neutral third-party sources are essential. Wikipedia requires them. Two good sets of Wikipedia guidelines that I have found really useful can be found HERE and HERE. See the Manual of Style guidelines for biographies located HERE. Wikipedia's rules on biographies of living persons are strict. If something is unreferenced, and potentially contentious, it should be removed immediately. Please desists. George Custer's Sabre (talk) 04:38, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

George you are taking it personal to tarnish a person. This anyone can understand. Don't hurt a friend of Allah my dear. God will make you suffer. Write it down and keep today about what I said. His views against Gay is not unislamic also. I hope you make it in a way where both sides are served diplomacy. I told you can criticize under that tab. Don't make entire thing criticism. I am not only a article writer in Wikipedia, it's not my job, I am an editor in chief of renowned magazine and part of a agency. Don't make a mess my brother. I know very well who you are also. See you soon

Speedy deletion nomination of VP Sajeevan

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on VP Sajeevan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Warning

Practically all you do on Wikipedia seems to be to promote yourself, your associates, and your business. That's not what this site is for. You remove speedy deletion templates and other deletion and maintenance templates on pages you have created yourself, although they are very emphatically marked that you're not to do that. See all the warnings above, which you have ignored, except for one rather threatening reply here. Next time you disrupt Wikipedia for your own purposes you will be blocked as not being here to create an encyclopedia. Bishonen | talk 10:41, 26 May 2016 (UTC).[reply]

December 2016

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Lalu Samuel. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks! Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 08:28, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No legal threats

Your recent edits to Ismail ibn Musa Menk could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 09:30, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May 2017

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:

{{unblock|reason=I had posted article and different article writers had purposefully trying to defame an individual with certain intentions. You may check the past edits. Considering the IT Law and Act of 2009, India any individual who defames anyone over the internet is punishable. But later i was informed by Mr. Ron Jones from Wikipedia that anyone may edit its articles and its policy, nonetheless, is that articles must be written from a neutral point of view, representing all majority and significant-minority views fairly. Still they are looking into the matter seriously since the article is about a person with Diplomatic status and Privilege and related news links and updates are being verified. Since a unblock is requested }}

.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved. Yunshui ^雲 _水 11:54, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
