User talk:60.51.120.188

Hello, I'm Skyerise. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Mahakala, 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 referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 17:07, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Mahakala, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Your edit to Mahakala has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information.

Your statement that Mahakala is uncited is false. It has 24 citations to 21 sources. You may not remove content from the lead. There are two citations in superscripts just after the material you are removing. It is cited and you may not remove the information about Mahakala being considered a form of Vishnu by Vaishnavas.

You appear to be attempting to copy/paste material you didn't write from elsewhere. That's a copyright violation. Below is a welcome message with links to the information you need to add material. I decline to help you because your edits seem to involve removing a valid point of view without justification, presumably for sectarian reasons. Use the Talk:Mahakala page to discuss your proposed changes with the other editors of the article - and get consensus - before attempting further edits to the article.

P.S. If you are adding content from your own paper, that's not permitted. See our conflict of interest policy. Skyerise (talk) 17:31, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
