September 2022
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from St. Joseph's College, Wattala. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you.

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)  15:01, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

I figured out out caused the copyright violation. I straight copied and pasted the history section from the official college website. No your edit wasn't a mistake and that's for your service! MihirNak007 (talk) 16:00, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Source reference problem
Regarding a information source problem. I am working on an article about St. Sebastian's Church, Enderamulla, Wattala, Sri Lanka. It's not so popular in online articles. It's very hard to find references online. There's actually no articles about it online except for their official Facebook page. Almost all the information I got for my working article is from their 100th jubilee magazine. Where they had the history informations of the church, parish, priests and the land. I want to know a way to continue this article. Is there a way to make this happen? MihirNak007 (talk) 16:17, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 * References do not need to be online. If you have printed materials such as books in a library, that's fine. If there are no independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this church, however, there cannot be a Wikipedia article about it. 331dot (talk) 17:36, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 * A magazine put out by the church would not be an independent source. 331dot (talk) 17:37, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of National seminary of Our Lady of Lanka


A tag has been placed on National seminary of Our Lady of Lanka 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 an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://hiseminary.wordpress.com/history-2/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 deleted 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.

Colombo Scouts moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Colombo Scouts, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Concern regarding Draft:Colombo Scouts
Hello, MihirNak007. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Colombo Scouts, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 16:01, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Colombo Scouts


Hello, MihirNak007. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Colombo Scouts".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
