Speedy deletion nomination of Pada software


A tag has been placed on Pada software requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Olowe2011 (talk) 22:24, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Pada Software


The article Pada Software has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Notability not established.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Deleted as a copyright violation
This is all in the past, but given your copyright violation today you need to avoid any problems in the future or you will probably end up blocked. Doug Weller talk 18:52, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Vikashegde, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Vaimānika Shāstra has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * 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 can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

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. Doug Weller talk 18:46, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

[SVG Translation Campaign 2019 India] Feedback survey
Greetings,

Many thanks for participating in the SVG Translation Campaign 2019 in India. It had been quite a successful campaign—194 users from 19 Indic languages took part in the campaign for 38 days, and have created more than 2,500 SVG files, all of them having labels in native Indian languages. You may read the complete report of the campaign at https://w.wiki/3yn.

We would like to thank you again for translating SVG files as a part of this campaign, your contributions have given thousands of people the knowledge that they need the most. Now we would like to have your feedback about the overall campaign, how effective were the training sessions, the resources provided, the support etc.

Please fill the feedback survey at https://forms.gle/4TCicfYzjAGVvKTy6

Your responses are extremely valuable to us, and will be of immense help to understand further training needs or plan future activities in this area. Let us know if you have any questions.

Please note that 4 August 2019 is the last date to complete the survey. Regards, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:08, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Placenames
Please stop changing the names of places in articles to different spellings to those used as our article titles, as you did at Shimoga district. We use the WP:COMMONNAME in English for our articles, not the "official" names, so changing the spelling can break wikilinks to those articles and is confusing to our readers - thank you - Arjayay (talk) 09:36, 28 August 2020 (UTC)


 * , I have taken care not to break any wikilinks. Article title has same spelling as before. In article body, I have changed the place name to common name only. I am from the same place and I know it is native name, common name as well as official name. 6 years after official name correction, still Wikipedia is using old names in the name of WP:COMMONNAME is not justified. We should give realtime, proper information to readers.  --VikasHegde (talk) 10:05, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your opinion - I stick to the policies and guidelines, as should all editors. - Arjayay (talk) 10:06, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Shimoga district, you may be blocked from editing. - Arjayay (talk) 10:07, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the warning, but is not justified. WP:COMMONNAME policy says use common names. Common name was 'Shivamogga' from ages and so is. Policies are made by Wikipedians and can be amended if required. Lets see. Thanks again.
 * Common name, as in the name used all over the world. A google search will give you a better idea. Shimoga gives 13.4 million hits while Shivamogga gives only 8.2 million hits. There are other ways to analyze that too. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:12, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Shimoga. Despite all the above warnings and explanations, you are still vandalizing articles. Please leave placenames alone - Arjayay (talk) 18:11, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
