Hello, I'm Adakiko. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Galwan River seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 06:48, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Ding Laihang. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 06:52, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Edit warring notice
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Chen Hongjun. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Adakiko (talk) 06:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * You have not supported your claim in any way. Google "Chen Hongjun" you will find a few photos. Adakiko (talk) 06:47, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Shashank4a1! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Agnipath Scheme several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at Talk:Agnipath Scheme, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Venkat TL (talk) 08:21, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:Agnipath_Scheme, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment, or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button OOjs UI icon signature-ltr.svg located above the edit window.

Thank you. Venkat TL (talk) 16:28, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Images of Agnipath protests
Hi how did you get the Images of Agnipath protests? Venkat TL (talk) 11:52, 19 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Got it from magazine. Added citation for the same. Shashank4a1 (talk) 12:05, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Most of the magazine and news sites are copyrighted. Unless they have released the images under a free license, such images should not be uploaded on Wikipedia or commons. Please update the URL of the image from where it was taken, so that the copyright status can be assessed. You can ask for deletion yourself if you find that it is copyrighted. See WP:COPYRIGHT and Scanning an image does not make it your "own work" Venkat TL (talk) 12:38, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Got it! Will look if copyrighted and will remove if there. Shashank4a1 (talk) 13:28, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Shashank4a1 thanks for checking. Venkat TL (talk) 13:30, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * If there are images released by Press Information Bureau or All India Radio https://newsonair.gov.in/Default.aspx then they can be used, as they fall in the free license of government Open Data license.But I checked and there are rarely any useful image on those sites. Venkat TL (talk) 16:07, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Great! Lets wait for the images to be uploaded so we can use it. Shashank4a1 (talk) 16:12, 19 June 2022 (UTC)


 * File:Agnipath_Scheme_Poster.jpg this cannot possibly be your own work. Please check the default options while uploading pics and make sure to select the appropriate options. If you keep uploading pics from other sites as own work then the admins will likely block your account from uploading pics. Venkat TL (talk) 12:10, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Warning is removed  &maltese; SunDawn &maltese;     (contact)   14:36, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Ill explain it from next time :) I shall restore it to the previous version now. Shashank4a1 (talk) 14:26, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Minor edit has a specific meaning - A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute.. No need to mark all edits as minor, it might be seen as a way to avoid scrutiny. Hemantha (talk) 16:45, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Sure! Thanks! Shashank4a1 (talk) 18:20, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

 * How was this addition unconstructive?@Beccaynr Shashank4a1 (talk) 06:23, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It is a poorly-sourced 'controversy' section, which is WP:UNDUE and not supported by WP:RS. Beccaynr (talk) 06:24, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Shashank4a1! Your additions to Duke University have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:14, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
