Citing sources
Please consult Help:Citing sources for information on how properly to cite sources for your articles. In your article on Thomas Aykara, you have made the following referencing errors: Please try to be more careful in your use of references in the future.

 * 1) You have used Wikipedia pages as references, when what you really intended to do was create a WikiLink to the page in question.
 * 2) You have cited sources that gave information about the specific term or concept at hand, but did not actually verify the fact in question. For example, you added a reference to the page http://www.keralatourism.org/routes-locations/mutholi/id/29722 to cite the fact that Aykara was born in Mutholy. Now that's a nice page about Mutholy, but it doesn't verify that Aykara was born there, and is therefore not a useful citation.
 * Stop using Wikipedia articles as references. You may link to other Wikipedia articles, but you may not use them as references. Please refer to the links I have given you above to learn how to do these things. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:18, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Again, I must warn you to stop peppering the Thomas Aykara article with false references. References to other Wikipedia pages, and references to webpages that do not verify any information about Aykara, are not helpful and must be avoided. For example, you don't need (and should not) cite the fact that Aykara lived in Kerala with a reference to the Lonely Planet page about Kerala. That doesn't verify that Aykara lived there, and is therefore not a helpful reference. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:20, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
