 * Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The [[File:Button sig.png]] or [[File:Insert-signature.png]] button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
 * If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Mayank Dahotre, good luck, and have fun. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 21:11, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion
In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk)  12:26, 6 December 2023 (UTC)


 * We are IIT Gandhinagar students and we are trying to update the wikipedia page. All information has been taken from the official IITGN website with due permission taken from the IITGN administration.
 * So your copyright violation issue is a mistake. Please revert back your changes as soon as possible.
 * Next time please consult us before making changes on your own. Thank you for your co-operation. Mayank Dahotre (talk) 09:07, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Consultation beforehand is not required, see bold, revert, discuss- especially in copyright matters, which potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy.
 * The websites you copied the information from have a notice claiming copyright at the bottom, without an explicit mention that its license is compatible with Wikipedia. If the administration has released the text to allow you to use it on Wikipedia, they need to demonstrate that, see donating copyrighted materials.  You can't do that as you are not the owner of the text.
 * All of this said, original text is preferred- it would be better for you to write in your own words and cite the website involved as a reference(see Referencing for beginners). 331dot (talk) 09:13, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
