Copying from book by R. C. Majumdar

Hello CharlesWain! Your additions to Varendra 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. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:01, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain why Saradananda, 1978 is insufficiently reliable source on Ramakrishna article

Hello,

You made an edit saying Saradananda, Swami (1978). Sri Ramakrishna, the great master is an insufficiently reliable source. Could you please explain? As far I know, this is one of the primary sources of information on Ramakrishna being written by his direct disciple. RamasSquirrel (talk) 10:27, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey RamasSquirrel, please read WP:Primary.CharlesWain (talk) 15:41, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

Just read it. The usage in Ramakrishna article from the primary source is straightforward and doesn't depend on any analysis, interpretation etc. In that case, it's use is not against the policy. Do you feel otherwise? RamasSquirrel (talk) 08:32, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What are you proposing or planning to add, RamasSquirrel?CharlesWain (talk) 12:17, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In another vision following Ramakrishna's birth, his mother saw a strange tall person lying in the bed instead of the baby Ramakrishna.^{[better source needed]}

The above line was added by me and you had added the 'better source needed' comment regarding the source of this line, which is Sri Ramakrishna the Great Master (1978). So I wanted to understand the reason behind the comment. RamasSquirrel (talk) 08:43, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in South Asian social groups. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Clarification and request for guidance

Respected sir, I'm new to Wikipedia Wisher08 (talk) 07:45, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, I observed that a edit I had made in the Mahishya page got reversed by another user. I just want to know if the process I followed while making that edit did not align with the correct process in anyway. I feel you would be able to clarify my doubt Wisher08 (talk) 07:48, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wisher08, Your statement is correct, but the source you added as citation was a blog which is considered unreliable. Read WP:RS. Thanks and regards,-CharlesWain (talk) 08:27, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you sir. You guidance is highly esteemed. Wisher08 (talk) 09:22, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CharlesWain, I had added that name to the notable personality list of the Mahishya page, surmising from the fact that the surname is widely found in the Medinipur region, which is predominantly inhabited by the said caste. Moreover, the Tamluk Raj family which is vertably certified as Mahishyas, also had the said surname throughout history. Therefore, I surmised, albeit I'll admit I didn't have my source exactly stating it. This is to let you know that I did not make the edit in bad faith. I'll be delighted if you helped me find the suitable source. Thanks and regards. Wisher08 (talk) 17:16, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bhanja is not usually a Mahishya surname. Do you have any source supporting that Tamluk Raj family used Bhanja surname? As per as I know, they used to be Bhuiyan, and are now Roy. I will look into it. Thanks, Wisher08. CharlesWain (talk) 04:50, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you visit the page Tamluk and proceed to the "Landmarks and tourist places", you will find the Raj family refered to as the "Bhanj Dynasty" along with the source. Bhanja is generally a Oriya surname primarily used by the Khandayat community. I inferred that the Tamluk Raj family might have been a cadet branch of the Bhanja dynasty of Orissa. Since, most Mahishyas of Medinipur region similar/ same surnames with the Khandayats of the neighbouring state, I believed Bhanja to be a Mahishyas surname. Thanks, @CharlesWain. Wisher08 (talk) 07:21, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mahishyas of Medinipur have Khandait connection, but what you have written here is WP:OR. Not sure of actor Sumit Bhanja, but Kanan Devi's adoptive father was Mahishya by caste. You may consider adding her to notable list.CharlesWain (talk) 07:53, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Akshardham (New Jersey)

Thanks for your contributions to the Swaminarayan Akshardham page. I noticed, though, that your recent edits are heavily focused on the lawsuit, which gives the article an unbalanced feel. Wikipedia guidelines emphasize a Neutral Point of View (NPOV) to ensure topics are covered fairly. The lawsuit is already mentioned thoroughly, so focusing just on that without expanding other sections makes the article seem one-sided. The talk page had previously decided to keep the lawsuit out of the introduction and as seen with the recent talk section about it, the consensus is that it ruins the balance of the article and pushes a non NPOV view. Ram112313 (talk) 17:51, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate edit summary

Hello CharlesWain.. as an experienced editor, the following edit summary ([1]) is not expected from you: "Reverted 1 edit by Ekdalian (talk): Then help find one instead of reverting a good faith edit". I edit hundreds of articles and how do I assume good faith here and start searching for sources? You are well aware that as per WP:BURDEN, "the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution." This is an inappropriate edit summary and not an ideal behavior, especially since you are also aware of WP:GS/CASTE! You could have simply restored the content after adding a relevant source. This is just a friendly message to let you know what I expect from you. I shall leave it here. Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 08:46, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please don't forget to provide edit summaries. I am not posting the standard template (message), but would like to let you know that you have not provided edit summaries in your recent edits related to the above-mentioned article. Ekdalian (talk) 08:54, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
