I can't provide any additional information on the subject unfortunately, but it saves Wikipedia the trouble if there was copyright violations here -Spartanfox86 19:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

A large chunk of material was pasted by 122.173.209.216 and reverted out by Austin512. 122.173.209.216 asserts the material is in the public domain. I'm skeptical - material is origianlly from ballia.nic.in, which is a primary domain owned by the government of India. Inspection of the site www.nic.in contains this notice

I'm reverting. Anniepoo (talk) 07:52, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

A different SPA has included the same material again. I'm reverting again. I note that 3rr contains an exception for "Reverting the addition of copyright violations or content that unquestionably violates the non-free content policy." This material, IMHO, does so. If the editor who is inserting it wants to provide more documentation it would be welcome, and would remove this content from the "unquestionably violates" catagory.

I've removed it twice more, but the anon's IP keeps changing so I don't think they are seeing the warnings. I've left a message to come here and dicuss it. If it is re-added again I'll take it for administrator intervention against vandalism. -- Austin512  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I concur. I doubt this is malicious, it's just a new editor, so I'd say 'don't bite the newbies', but this seems to be someone whose attention we need to get. Anniepoo (talk) 07:57, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Bihar??
I just undid an edit by an IP that moved Ballia into Bihar. The city is definitely in Uttar Pradesh, but it's right on the border with Bihar. I could believe that somehow it's in some municipal district in Bihar, but a source would be appreciated. Also, whatever the complexities of the governmental situation, the city is physically IN Uttar Pradesh, so it should be described as a city in UP in the leadAnniepoo (talk) 21:58, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Adding place names
Parmdham Mandir in Village Dunha Bihra which is situeted at 10 Km. from Sikandarpur. this Temple is constructed by Ishwar das Brahmchari shree Maunee Baba Ji.he is very nice place because saryu river is very close to Temple.
