Disambiguation link notification for June 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of urban agglomerations in Asia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ahmadabad ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_urban_agglomerations_in_Asia check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_urban_agglomerations_in_Asia?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I'm really sorry to revert your edits on List of largest cities. The previous user messed the table, so I'm afraid you update on the wrong version. I really appreciate if you want to update the Demographia figure to the latest edition. Regards. Bluesatellite (talk) 14:08, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

List of Indian states and union territories by GDP
May I know what exactly was the reason you reverted my recent edits on the page List of Indian states and union territories by GDP ? I had corrected and updated the latest data as published by Government of India's Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI) on their official website on 31 July 2020. I also updated the link to the official MOSPI source that reflects this latest data. Why you reverted these edits is beyond reason. I have been contributing to Wikipedia for more than 5 years now and I'm reasonably experienced in editing India related list articles including the one I'm concerned with here. You added old 2018-19 figures of Himachal Pradesh in place of correct and latest 2019-20 figures in the aforementioned list article and mentioned the year as 2019-20. You also incorrectly changed the year of 2018-19 figures of Jammu and Kashmir to 2019-20. GSDP figures of 2019-20 for Jammu and Kashmir have not even been published by MOSPI yet. The same have been released for Himachal Pradesh and they were being appropriately mentioned in the article until you disruptively added one year older figures.

I noticed from the edit history of the page that you had made similar edits before also. Earlier, the MOSPI source in the article was not updated. You might have seen the older reference so I can understand your confusion. But now that I have updated the MOSPI source reflecting the latest data and made appropriate changes according to it in the concerned list article, your mindlessly reverting my edits is totally unwarranted. All the changes I've made in the above article are strictly as per the latest official data published by MOSPI for which the official government source has also been defined in the article. Please refrain from undoing productive contributions to Wikipedia like you just did. Kindly check and verify the figures you're incorrectly manipulating in the article from the updated MOSPI source first. I'm giving link to the updated source here:

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to List of Indian states and union territories by GDP. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. ''Kindly read my previous message properly. In your latest edits on the page (that I reverted) you incorrectly added the 2018-19 figures as 2019-20 figures for many states while citing the same MOSPI source that I cited for my own edits, albeit more specifically. Kindly go through the statewise GDP figures mentioned in the MOSPI source thoroughly first. You will get to know what exactly is wrong with your edits. 2019-20 figures are not available for many states and UTs yet. For Andaman and Nicobar Islands, even 2018-19 GDP figures haven't been released by MOSPI yet. From where did you come up with 2019-20 figures? The current list which I've updated reflects the latest official data available for each and every state/ UT. Vibhss (talk) 11:39, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Unsourced additions to List of Indonesian provinces by Human Development Index
After undoing your edit at List of Indonesian provinces by Human Development Index because it was unsourced, I see you doubled down, and inserted it again, without explanation. I realize you have made many edits to this article before, perhaps all of them unsourced, and have not been called to account for it. No matter; Wikipedia's WP:Verifiability policy *requires* you to provide a citation to a reliable source when challenged, and this applies to this edit of yours, and all of your edits at this article, and at every article at Wikipedia. I will be reverting your unsourced edit at List of Indonesian provinces by Human Development Index again right after this. If you revert again, I'll take you to the Edit warring noticeboard, and that may result in having your editing privileges at Wikipedia suspended, or removed. You are welcome to reinsert your edit again, as long as it is accompanied by a citation to a reliable source; otherwise, you may not. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 09:44, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into List of the largest trading partners of the ASEAN. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,.

Regarding the gdp of mumbai
Hello there @Applaused the source you provided regarding the gdp of mumbai does not even mention the gdp it mentions nsdp and nsdp per capita, its highly unlikely that mumbai would have a gdp of 113 billion considering it contributes 6.2 % of the indian gdp India's gdp is around 3.5 trillion so a simple mathematical calculation would be 3.5 tn * 6.2;/100 which comes to more than 220 billion. Joy goel (talk) 20:03, 7 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Mumbai case is the same with Delhi case. Delhi GDP from national Government is about 100+ billion link = https://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/PublicationsView.aspx?id=20679. Because they using city proper GDP Nominal. Not 270+ billion according to visual capitalist, because they using GDP Nominal for Metropolitan Area. Here from visual capitalist https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Global-Wealth-Distribution.html they highlight it in "METROPOLITAN AREAS". Can u give link where Mumbai "CITY PROPER" contributes 6.2 % of the indian gdp, i'll satisfied if u share that data from government NOT from media. thx Applaused (talk) 20:11, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll wait, if ur source seems not accurate. Then sorry, i'll undo your edit Applaused (talk) 20:13, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * anyway, the only source i find with Mumbai 6.2% india's GDP is https://www.indiachem.in/why-mumbai.php. That is not from official government data Applaused (talk) 20:15, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @Applaused have a look at this its from a highly reliable leading newspaper in India https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/adi-bytes/mumbai-a-tale-of-repeated-ignorance/?source=app&frmapp=yes i can provide you with many other link that say that mumbai contributes 6.16% of the indian gdp Joy goel (talk) 20:30, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The source from https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/adi-bytes/mumbai-a-tale-of-repeated-ignorance/?source=app&frmapp=yes having same story with my source https://www.indiachem.in/why-mumbai.php "10% of factory employment, 25% of industrial output, 33% of income tax collections, 60% of customs duty collections". Media report usually not fully accurate and tried immitate each other. It's different when we using source from official government. Also the source from timesofindia could'nt define Mumbai metropolitan or city proper, where government official can. so i will trust official government data rather than eading newspaper media source. If u confuse, Mumbai metropolitan include mumbai thane  navi etc, same also with delhi metropolitan which include delhi noida gurugram etc. Applaused (talk) 06:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @Applaused I have gone through your source thoroughly and nowhere can I find the gdp of mumbai to be 113 billion your source mainly shows the NSDP and NSDP per capita district vise, the article we are concerned with is Greater Mumbai not only Mumbai city Proper, Mumbai city proper information would be more appropriate for Mumbai City district in this article we are dealing with the entire city of mumbai not only mumbai city district or the city proper, and according to your source its not clear that mumbai's nominal gdp is just $113 billion i can provide you multiple sources that say that mumbai's contributes 6.2 % of the indian gdp this is mentioned multiple times through the article as well with multiple sources.
 * Therefore to avoid conflict i'm removing the nominal gdp and per capita information as its not verifiable through your source and again this article is about the Whole of mumbai not only mumbai city proper please dont revert this edit. Joy goel (talk) 08:04, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:List India City by GDP


Hello, Applaused. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List India City by GDP".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:04, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion
In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk)  12:39, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Images on Wikipedia need clear copyright status!
Please add license tags if you want to use images on Wikipedia.

It has come to attention that large amount of images you uploaded lack clear copyright status and do not have proper license tags. This is a crucial issue, as Wikipedia places a strong emphasis on maintaining content that complies with copyright laws and respects the rights of content creators. To ensure the quality and legality of images on Wikipedia, it is essential that all uploaded images have a clear and appropriate copyright status.

Here's why it's important to provide clear copyright information and proper license tags for images:


 * 1) Legal Compliance: Wikipedia strives to comply with copyright laws worldwide. Without proper copyright information and licensing, we risk violating copyright and intellectual property rights.
 * 2) Transparency: Properly licensed images provide transparency about their usage rights. This helps other Wikipedia editors and users understand how they can use, share, and attribute the images in accordance with the license terms.
 * 3) Avoiding Deletion: Images without clear copyright status may be flagged for deletion.

File permission problem with File:Depo tegalluar.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Depo tegalluar.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add permission pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Benjamin Ceci (talk) 11:35, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement&#32;of https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=606635454911844&set=pb.100066961852680.-2207520000&type=3. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted 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.

 * The author got the picture from the official website. On some Wikipedia pages, the author sees many similar things, but does not get corpyright. Can you explain why only on this page? If you can't, the author will take a picture with a license from YouTube as Benyamin Ceci wrote on this page Applaused (talk) 12:10, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I will write using as simple English as possible. Copyright is important. Images have copyrights. There are different copyright licenses. We must have proof of license. Without proof, we delete. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:19, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Applaused! 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 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 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. Please see 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 Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:08, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

 * You are claiming this is your own work. It clearly is not your own work.  You cannot copy images from the internet and claim these as your own work, nor can you just apply Creative Commons licenses to images which are not released under under such a license.  If you do not understand somethin about copyright for images, you can ask questions at Media Copyright Questions.  What you cannot do is to continue uploading images you have copied from the Internet that do not have a free license.  You have also claimed that File:Halim.png is also your won work.  Is it really your own work, or have you copied it from the internet like the other images? -- Whpq (talk) 12:22, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Then again, author get image from friend. The other photo you saw, the author get from OFFICIAL WEBSITE with SOURCE. then why getting delete? for soft opening, it's harder to get to photo from the site.

If you continue to upload copyright violating images here on en.wikipedia, or upload them on Commons and use them here, you will be blocked from further editing until you gain an understanding and appreciation of the importance of copyright. You have had many images deleted for violating copyright, yet still insist what you are doing is acceptable. IT IS NOT. Either you stop this behavior, or you will be blocked. I hope I have been clear. If I have not been clear, then ask clarifying questions. The appropriate response to this is not to continue to upload and/or use copyright violating images while insisting what you are doing is ok. This ends. Now. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:43, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * i'll upload my photo, then how to proved that is my own photo? i will try to next page that i already been, and capture those image photo there Applaused (talk) 13:51, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello . It has come to my attention that you have uploaded several files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Copyrights for the copyright policy on English Wikipedia. This is your last warning. Continuing to upload copyright violations will result in your account being blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions. Additionally, please stop uploading copyright violating files to Wiki Commons. Benjamin Ceci (talk) 13:45, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

 * You can NOT take an image you find somewhere on the Internet and upload it here claiming it is your image. IT IS NOT. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:59, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Lol, I upload dozens my very OWN IMAGE. Then look what happen at "License tagging for File:Taman Anggrek.jpeg" Applaused (talk) 15:33, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Because you didn't properly tag the image. Fine, it's your image. What's the copyright status? We can't assume. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:35, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * All on "Own work, Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0" Applaused (talk) 15:37, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Then tag the images. You've done so elsewhere, such as at File:Coffe Plantation.jpeg. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:40, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * In general: when a photo has no specific free licence, always assume that it is copyright protected. The fact that you have it does not make it free. The Banner  talk 16:24, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Taman Anggrek.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Taman Anggrek.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:30, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * This is MY OWN IMAGE Applaused (talk) 15:32, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * So, in order for us to actually host that, we need you to release the image under a suitable free license. Adding Cc-by-4.0, or some other licensing tag to the page, would resolve this issue. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 22:34, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Table of largest urban areas in ASEAN
I noticed that in your edit, Metro Manila is replaced with Greater Manila Area. For WP:Consistency purposes, which of the definitions should be used? Metro Manila or Greater Manila? As far as WP is concerned, Metro Manila is "one of the officially recognized metropolitan areas by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA)" (see List of metropolitan areas in the Philippines), while Greater Manila is more of a larger planning area.

For Bangkok Metropolitan Region, how was the figure 15,931,300 derived? According to Thailand's 2020 census, Total is only 10,696,258.
 * Bangkok: 5,588,222
 * Nonthaburi: 1,276,745
 * Nakhon Phanom: 717,201
 * Pathum Thani: 1,176,412
 * Samut Prakan: 1,351,479
 * Samut Sakhon: 586,199

Also is there a need to add a column for area, when urban areas and cities are usually ranked by population as per standard practice?

Hi Applaused! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of High-speed rail in Indonesia several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Jjpachano (talk) 10:49, 2 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your attention. As already explained, I have sources from various print and video media (but video ones are not listed) on this page. But the Anon's account insists that his source is correct when it comes to Indonesian sources, he misinterprets it. I was fair at first, but lately he's been removing my edits from various sources. In the end I did what he did. Applaused (talk) 11:52, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
