Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia 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:

Close paraphrasing
Your edit at Alan Thompson (British politician) was a close paraphrase of Thompson's obituary in The Scotsman, and as such constitutes a form of copyright violation. You may use the obituary as a source, but you may not duplicate its content, even if you do change around the words a bit. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:36, 19 June 2023 (UTC)


 * But that is my only source. Of course, It will appear to be paraphrased. Snestar30 (talk) 12:40, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Arjayay. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to LittleBigPlanet (2009 video game) have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. - Arjayay (talk) 10:52, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Chikmagalur. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 12:13, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I am sorry, but why is it inappropriate? It is a traveling website from which I have taken a justifiable fact. Snestar30 (talk) 12:24, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Because Wikipedia is not a travel guide and such information are not allowed in articles. Secondly, the source is promotional / spammy. I beleive you've been notified about the basics in the welcome message above. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:31, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The distance of that small city from the capital is not a tourist guide fact. It is important. Why is the website considered spammy? Such sites are good sources for such small towns. I am sorry, but the reason seems quite random. Snestar30 (talk) 13:18, 21 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Go through WP:RS. This line - "Buses and cars are considered the best for travelling to and from these destinations." is exactly what should NOT be added per WP:NOTGUIDE. The distance can be added using a reliable source (reliable news agency article, govt sources, etc). The one you added in the Kumbh Mela article is not a reliable source either. Go through WP:RSP, it has a list of reliable sources. This particular line - "The government of India has made arrangements concerning food. They have established multiple food stalls offering delicacies from different parts of India. The government has made sure that tourists and devotees have ample options for their indulgence" looks like you are promoting the government. If your content gets removed, do not edit war, it might get you blocked (see WP:EW). Instead discuss in the respective talk page and gain WP:CONSENSUS. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:33, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, I understand. Snestar30 (talk) 14:17, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Nobody much considers trippyigloo.com a reliable source. You keep adding text sourced to trippyigloo.com to the article on Kumbh Mela. Please find better sources. -- Toddy1 (talk) 13:46, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
