Possible copyright violation(s)
Your contributions are appreciated. You are very welcome here. But, I have encountered possible copyright violation(s). Some or all of the content you added in a recent edit to Jalalabad, Fazilka appears to be copy pasted from http://www.royalfamilyofindia.com/mamdot/

Please remember that you must write in your own words. We cannot copy and paste from other websites. If I have made an error, please accept my apologies.

For further information, please read Copyright violations. If you have questions, please ask. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:31, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Reply to Anna Frodesiak
Thanks for informing me. But I notice you have removed all my changes including the grammar edits as well as the changes I made to the structure of the article. Why is that? Thanks, Baconsaurus (talk) 14:41, 2 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Whenever I see a string of edits, some of which contains copy pasted text, I tend not to sort through it all. I tend to just revert the lot. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:44, 2 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Ahh, there goes to waste my first 30mins editing Wikipedia. Thanks. Baconsaurus (talk) 14:46, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I am sorry. There is a large statement when you click edit that says "...Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted. ...". Please look through the history of the article and try to sort out how to restore good changes. Please ensure no copy pasting or even close paraphrasing remains. Again, I am sorry you are starting on a bad foot. I encourage you to stay. I can always help. I am an administrator here, am friendly, and can help you get started. If you are interested in starting articles, I can help with that too. Best wishes, and sorry again. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:51, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem. Thanks for helping me out. It's much appreciated. I re-edited the page - removed the content that was contentious and restored the structure and grammar.

Check the page for "Vishnu"
Pls check this page :

The infobox is all messed up.

Update : Fixed it. Anonymous user had made changes in the infobox without using the proper brace structure. Undid that.

Posting promotional material on the NUS Business School page and removing edits on Nanyang Business School page.
Dear Baconsaurus, Thank you for your advice. I note that I may have posted certain edits on both schools' wiki pages without citations. I will do my best to post responsibly and with references in future. Whether it is with negative bias that is your opinion, but I hope you will be objective with regards to removing my edits even when they are factual and backed up with references. I have since included the necessary references and citations in my edits. You may wish to have a look and do a cross reference. Separately, I have also viewed your edit history and noticed that you have been an ardent supporter of the NUS Business School page, consistently adding unnecessary information to the page. Please be reminded that as Internet users, we all have the responsibility to publish factual and neutral edits. While I acknowledge your enthusiasm and strong support for NUS Business School, I hope that you will refrain from posting information which may serve to promote the school in any way. For your convenience, I have amended the page edits accordingly. On this note, I would like to thank you for helping to edit and clean up the boosterism at the Nanyang Business School page. For your convenience, I have taken the liberty to assist in removing similar boosterism edits on the NUS Business School page. Thank you and have a nice day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zacxy (talk • contribs) 17:02, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Dear Zacxy, Thank you for your advice. I haven't removed any edit of yours that is backed up with evidence/citations even though, in your enthusiasm, you may have worded such edits to portray NUS Business School in an inferior light. Whether my edits are "unnecessary" is your opinion and of no value to me whatsoever. I agree I may have posted material on the NUS Business School page that may have been promoting the school and I have edited the page to removed said material. I urge you to practice the same for the Nanyang Business School page. As always, I value your contribution to make Wikirpedia a source of neutral and unbiased knowledge.
