Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Sita Devi has been reverted. Your edit here to Sita Devi was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://sita-devi.blogspot.com/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:18, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Copying from other websites
Hi! Thank you for attempting to write an article on the painter Sita Devi. Unfortunately, there were a number of things wrong with your attempt.

The first and most pressing problem is that you copied large portions of the article directly from other websites. This is a violation of Copyright laws, and can get both you and Wikipedia in serious trouble. Everything you write on Wikipedia must be in your own words. You can use other websites, newspaper articles, magazine articles, etc. as sources, so long as you give them credit, but you cannot directly use their words.

Another problem is that you tried to link to a blog, which is not considered a reliable source, and which is often done by spammers, that triggered a bot to undo your edits. So generally, avoid linking to blogs or using them as sources.

The last problem involves the name of the article. There are several notable people named Sita Devi, so it's appropriate to redirect to a disambiguation page so people can find the right article. You would then title the article on this person Sita Devi (painter), and add it to the list on the disambiguation page.

I invite you to try again to write an article on this person, given the guidance I've supplied both in this message and the earlier welcome message. Please do so in draft space (Draft:Sita Devi (painter)), and I recommend you use Articles for creation, as that will enable you to get guidance from experienced reviewers.

If you have any questions, ask me and I'll be happy to try to help you with this article or any other. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 21:34, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

XLinkBot
Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Sita Devi (painter), because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia.

Better, but...
Thank you for trying your article again at Sita Devi (painter). The current iteration is better, but there still appeared to be some copying. Once again, you need to put things in your own words. I've rephrased some of it.

I'm concerned now about the images you added to the article. You have uploaded them all to Commons and tagged them all as your own work, when several of them are very obviously scans of newspaper clippings. Unless you are the photographer who took the pictures in 1975 and 1981 and whenever the other one was taken, you should not tag them as your own work. They are most likely under Copyright by the original photographer and/or the newspaper that published them, and thus should not be uploaded to Commons, but rather uploaded directly to Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. The same goes for the picture of her painting.

Lastly, you really need to cite your sources. Also, don't use blogs as sources, because they aren't reliable sources. That said, one of the blogs seems to be a reprint of a newspaper article. Although you shouldn't cite or link to the blog, you can cite to the newspaper article using a citation template. When you are editing, above the edit window there should be a toolbar that has a drop down menu that says "Templates". One of them is called "Cite news". If you fill out the boxes there it will generate something that looks like this:. That is the easiest way to cite that source. Please note that I found the article on the paper's own website and included the URL. A URL is not needed, but it is convenient. The other blog you linked to, saffronart, seems to be a dedicated art blog by experts, and therefore might be an exception to the general "blogs aren't reliable sources" rule. At any rate, it's not the one the bot disliked.

I hope this is helpful. If you have questions, feel free to respond to this message, or leave a message on my talk page. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 14:19, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Ways to improve Sita Devi (painter)
Hi, I'm ONUnicorn. Sumanjha1991, thanks for creating Sita Devi (painter)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. I've tried to reduce the close paraphrasing, but it's still excessive. Also from http://www.tribuneindia.com/2005/20051215/nation.htm#4.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 15:37, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Recent edits to Sita Devi (Artist)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Sita Devi (Artist), but you didn't provide a reliable source.

If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Sita Devi (Artist)
Hello. I have left you several messages about Sita Devi (Artist), and the fact that virtually everything you have written there appears elsewhere on the internet virtually word-for-word. However, you have not responded, and today you seem to have replaced the entire article with text taken from this facebook page and this pdf.

Once again I ask you please don't copy text from elsewhere on the internet into Wikipedia. Doing so is not allowed. Do you understand? Please respond, and we can work together to improve the article on this fascinating woman without violating copyrights of other people. But if you don't respond, you run the risk of being blocked or the article being deleted for multiple copyright violations. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 16:27, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sita Devi (Artist)


A tag has been placed on Sita Devi (Artist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://southasia.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Mithila-Painters-Five-Village-Artists-from-Madhubani-India.pdf, =http://www.tribuneindia.com/2005/20051215/nation.htm#4, and http://blog.saffronart.com/2013/02/11/sita-devi-a-legendary-mithila-artist/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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 removed 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. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 17:03, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
