Welcome!

Hello, George46, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Devasahayam Pillai have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Copyright issues
This edit is definitely not encyclopedic in tone and looks likely to be a violation of copyright. It is also probably a violation of WP:CRYSTAL. I suggest that you remove it until the event is reported in December, when surely it will receive coverage from various news sources etc. - Sitush (talk) 17:59, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

If, regardless of the reasons given above you decide to remove my edit, please go ahead. I shall look for an online source as reference as early as I can find one.பவுல்-Paul (talk) 23:04, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sitush, I have no objection if you really want to remove my edit but the reasons you cite for such a possible removal don't seem to add up. The Bishop of the diocese of Kottar is the person who petitioned Vatican (the headquarters of the Catholic Church) to have Devasahayam Pillai declared a Martyr. It is this Bishop who is issuing a Statement that the ceremony of declaration of martyrdom and beatification of Devasahayam Pillai will take place in the diocese of Kottar on December 2, 2012. I have cited the Bishop's Circular as the source of the information. Is it a violation of copyright to cite an authoritative source? How can this be construed as "Crystal ball" prediction when a date and place have been announced by an authoritative source with regard to an event that is being organized? Do you think it would be "crystal ball" to say that the next summer olympics will take place in Rio de Jeneiro, citing the International Olympic Committee's Statement?

Request for consensus for editing Template:Catholicism
You are invited to join the discussion at Template_talk:Catholicism to edit the list of Doctors of the Church to add John of Avila and Hildegard of Bingen and do this by embedding Template:Churchdoctor. --Jayarathina (talk) 12:25, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Grease devil


A tag has been placed on Grease devil requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.iol.co.za/news/world/grease-devil-panic-grips-sri-lanka-1116640. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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 removed 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.  &#8212;jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  06:26, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You might want to consider adding a definition of "grease devil" to Wiktionary. Or reviving this page by providing text in your own words referencing multiple reliable sources.  &#8212;jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  15:16, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
