Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Secularism in India, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
 * Copying text from other sources

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

 * Hello, @Diannaa.
 * I am familiar with the rules of wikipedia. Could you point out which specific edits of mine have used copyrighted content? I only recall directly quoting a newspaper (The Hindu), and reorganizing various sections along with correcting grammatical errors. Indosociology111 (talk) 07:44, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Not the edit that @Diannaa was referring to, given the timing, but in this edit you copied content from other Wikipedia articles without giving attribution. Please follow the instructions at WP:CWW to correctly attribute the content that you added for copyright purposes.  You also made a hash of the references, as both articles contained named references with the same names.  I've fixed it in Persecution of Hindus but if you want to copy content from one article to another again please always check and fix the references before saving your edit.  Thanks!

 * Hi, Diannaa here. There wre no quotation marks around the content that I removed. It was straight copying, not a quote. — Diannaa (talk) 22:53, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Diannaa OK, I added it back with lots of editing now, and added quotation marks around one of the things I directly lifted. Indosociology111 (talk) 20:02, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It's ok from a copyright point of view. Add your citation please. — Diannaa (talk) 23:17, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me with... For some reason, I cannot see the diffs I made on the page Secularism in India for multiple edits. If you can tell me why, that would be great. I also would like to know which "copyrighted content" I've quoted as @Diannaa says, because I'd edited quite a bit of the text, and only inserted parts of it, but can no longer verify that because I cannot see the diffs or history of my edits. Indosociology111 (talk) 07:54, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Morning, and welcome to the site. You cannot see the content of the diffs as they have been Revision Deleted from the page history due to containing content from, or substantually similar to, . It looks like it was something added to the "views" section originally.
 * An admin can see the contents of those diffs still, however due to it containing content from the above link, they are unlikely to provide this to you. You can still see the overall diff after the revdel here. Mdann52 (talk) 09:00, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * There have been multiple diffs that have been made invisible to me, not just the one pertaining to the views section. Some explanation for those would be appreciated. @Mdann52
 * If I need to move this elsewhere, let me know, however my request has not been answered in full. Indosociology111 (talk) 09:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I can't see the diffs, Diannaa may well come here to comment when they are next online. admin-help may be more appropriate, or posting on WP:AN if you disagree with the revdel. Mdann52 (talk) 09:34, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Indosociology111 (talk) 09:37, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello, In order to completely remove the copyright material from the page history, all the intervening edits have to be hidden, from the time of insertion of the copyright material to its removal. This means that in many instances, harmless edits have to be hidden. — Diannaa (talk) 23:02, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Diannaa OK thank you. Indosociology111 (talk) 07:50, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Question for administrator
For some reason, I cannot see the diffs I made on the page Secularism in India for multiple edits. If you can tell me why, that would be great. I also would like to know which "copyrighted content" I've quoted as @Diannaa says, because I'd edited quite a bit of the text, and only inserted parts of it, but can no longer verify that because I cannot see the diffs or history of my edits.

And as I say above, it's not just the Views section, but the others that had nothing to do with that for which I can no longer see the diffs. --Indosociology111 (talk) 09:40, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Content you added matches an article in The Hindu. I'm not going to reproduce it here, because it's copyright. I will send you the copied material via email. — Diannaa (talk) 12:44, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It was not a quotation; there were no quotation marks; it was presented as though you had written the paragraph yourself. That's a violation of our copyright policy. — Diannaa (talk) 12:46, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

 * @Rosguill What is "non-ECP" editor? Indosociology111 (talk) 20:06, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing you meant "extended confirmed", never mind. Indosociology111 (talk) 20:15, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It's a reference to Arbitration_Committee/Procedures. ECP is technically slightly incorrect on reflection, as that refers to extended-confirmed protection, which applies to pages rather than editors. signed,Rosguill talk 20:15, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't have participated in it if I'd known it needed ECR. I'd just needed Auto-confirmed on some pages so far. @Rosguill Indosociology111 (talk) 20:20, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
