Disambiguation link notification for February 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trams in Almaty, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aksay. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Unsourced additions + deletion of sourced material
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Kabir Suman, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 09:20, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Kabir Suman, 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. - Arjayay (talk) 09:20, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Kabir Suman
Hi Ashis Mitra - thank you for your e-mail about Kabir Suman. As explained at my talk and user pages "I will probably reply on your talk page, or the article talk page, as most discussions should be open and on the record."

I to reinstate your changes would be a major violation of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines - you deleted large amounts of cited information and references, and made massive, uncited additions. Before you started, the article had a "readable prose size" of 1,384 words and had 26 references, (one reference per 53 words) the version I reverted was 8,314 words and had just 10 references (one reference per 831 words) - you, therefore, made the article 6 times longer and removed 62% of the references.

Please understand, Wikipedis is NOT interested in who any editor is, or what that editor "knows" - Wikipedia is ONLY interested in what has been published in independent reliable sources - if, as you say "there are not many websites about him which contained such details, and so I could not mention those web links." then you cannot use that "information" in a Wikipedia article.

You say "All information are from my personal experience, and directly talking with him." and "I went his home last year, and collected many information by conversation with him" - that is what Wikipedia terms Original research, and it is a core policy that such information can NOT be used in any Wikipedia article.

As you say Suman is a "friend", you also need to consider whether you have a conflict of interest in editing his article. If so, you should not edit the article, but post suggestions, including references, on the article's talk page.

Finally, I note the article has several "citation needed" tags, from as long ago as January 2013 - That "information" should have been deleted already, but will be deleted shortly unless citations can be provided.

Sorry to sound so negative, but it is important you understand what Wikipedia's policies and guidelines are, so you do not break them. - Arjayay (talk) 11:10, 25 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Ashis Mitra - it would be far easier if the conversation was here, in one place, rather than you sending me e-mails and me replying here. Please do NOT add ANY information without adding the references at the same time. Far too many people claim they will add the references later, but fail to do so, leaving the only option as mass deletion of all the additions. In any case, it is far easier to add references as you add information - assuming you are only adding referenced material, when you add it, you know exactly which reference you obtained the information from, making the reference easy - to go back and add them later is far more work, and risks not referencing some additions, again leading to deletions. Rather than adding additional information, I suggest the first thing you should do is add references for those items tagged "citation needed" before they are deleted. - Arjayay (talk) 19:42, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Trams in Lausanne moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Trams in Lausanne, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @  04:55, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of renamed places in India, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Krishnanagar ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/List_of_renamed_places_in_India check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/List_of_renamed_places_in_India?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.)

File permission problem with File:Kabir Suman as a little boy.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Kabir Suman as a little boy.jpg. 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.
