Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Ahmadiyya are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

You really need to be careful about WP:POINT. Dougweller (talk) 15:00, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Christadelphians into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to make a note in an edit summary at the source page as well. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. ''Most new editors don't know about this. '' Dougweller (talk) 16:17, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

I have put a question to you on the Ahmadiyya Talk-Page

Kerala based Geography Article
Dear Truebrother, I have not added information without responsibility even though I looked at Google Maps for information. I have traveled personally in most of the villages and towns mentioned and added information on the basis of direct observation and data collection. For example I traveled personally from Palakkad to Kozhikode last week and added information on localities on the way like Mannarkkad, Perinthalmanna, Malappuram and a host of villages attached to these towns. Most of the photographs were taken by myself and uploaded to commons. Sections like Suburbs and Villages were included as a guide for future editing by other Wikipedians. Please observe my work a little more closely to avoid the misunderstanding. Regards, Prof. Manna (talk) 00:44, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Arimbra Hills, Malappuram
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Arimbra Hills, Malappuram, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://wn.com/mini_ooty_kerala_tourist_place_malappuram_kerala.

It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Malappuram. 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. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Muffled Pocketed  17:28, 1 August 2016 (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.

Thank you for your concern. However am not here in an edit war and I know what an edit war is. I had reverted the content of the article manually which might have appeared to be adding new content. This has been rightly notified to the other editor. Someone had accidentally moveed the content to another article which I had to undo. But then somebody having thought this to be adding huge content, did undo which I reverted and let them know about the issue. If you have productive information to provide to the article other than making changes to rightly done contetn please do it. Wikipedia is here to provide information and it should be left that way. Just because something appears to be an edit war, it doesnt mean its one. Kindly take talk to the editors involved before making assumptions and interfering. Please refrain from disrupting with the article content which you have no idea about. Anyhow I will find some way to make it happen within norms--Truebrother (talk) 07:43, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on User talk:Truebrother. Thank you. Muffled Pocketed  07:47, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Alright. How do you suggest the article be taken back to its previous state without attracting other editors just to undo edits out of blue accusing an 'edit war' like you have done. Making 'undo' something is easy, adding content and keeping it up to date isn't. --Truebrother (talk) 07:54, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Malappuram, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. ''From my edit summary: Dear Truebrother. '''This is still, unfortunately, unsourced material, so must be removed. Surely you have a history book on your shelf you can use?' Muffled''' Pocketed  08:10, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

I'll look in to the shelf, thanks for the guidance. However the first edit which started all this had even removed sourced content. Does that concur wikipedia policies? Can someone randomly undo content that has sourced and unsourced information without dealing separately? I consider that to be an irresponsible activity to have from an editor, falls well in to WP:VAND. --Truebrother (talk) 08:30, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from abusing warning or blocking templates, as you did to User talk:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi. Doing so is a violation of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you. Muffled Pocketed  09:49, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you for your reminder, however it had appeared that the user User:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi was in fact involved in an WP:EW by repeatedly removing contents of which some had verifiable sources. Having realized a dispute in effect, users with disagreement should have discussed it in Talk page [] of the article to reach consensus instead of making reverts after reverts on disputed content including sourced ones. I have used my best to judge the situation and had to put warning template as per the Wikipedia guidance here WP:AVOIDEDITWAR. Its in the best interest of Wikipedia that editors are not forced to abandon Wikipedia with their initial efforts or midway despite the shortcomings. The aforementioned user is indeed an asset to Wikipedia having contributed enough to maintain Wikipedia materials by keeping a check on them. However I hope the user stop making arbitrary decisions in editing and reverting as per WP:POINT. Thank you --Truebrother (talk) 18:04, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Malabar District, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tanur. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:13, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
