Hello, I'm Tbhotch. I noticed that you recently removed some content from National Institute of Disaster Management without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Tb hotch .™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to National Institute of Disaster Management with this edit. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate may links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Tb hotch .™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!

Your addition to National Institute of Disaster Management has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. The information was apparently copied from the NIDM website at http://nidm.gov.in/about.asp Psychonaut (talk) 09:07, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Dear Hkdevli, I am in receipt of your e-mail. Your changes to National Institute of Disaster Management were removed for the reasons detailed above. Neither you nor I nor anyone else can apply them to the article in their current form. The copyright issue could be resolved if you can get the NIDM to release the text under the terms of a free content licence compatible with the ones used by Wikipedia (CC-BY-SA 3.0 or GFDL). Please see Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to do this. —Psychonaut (talk) 14:34, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your second e-mail. According to the Copyright Act 1957, the Indian government (including its various agencies) holds the copyright to its works, so if the information you want to contribute has been officially released into the public domain, then it would be a good idea to indicate this explicitly on the NIDM website. Failing that, you could have someone of authority at the NIDM contact Wikimedia making a statement that the work is in the public domain. Instructions for either course of action are at Donating copyrighted materials. If you need any further clarification please post a question at Media copyright questions. —Psychonaut (talk) 10:20, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Please stop copying and pasting material from the NIDM into the National Institute of Disaster Management article. As explained above, this is a violation of copyright. If you continue to do this you will be blocked from editing. If NIDM has released the text under a licence compatible with Wikipedia's, then you need to provide evidence of this according to the instructions above. —Psychonaut (talk) 08:09, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
