Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Misplaced Pages:

• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Misplaced Pages's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Misplaced Pages page and follow Misplaced Pages's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Misplaced Pages is not a forum.

The Misplaced Pages tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! —SpacemanSpiff 17:32, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Ways to improve Shubhadrangi

Hi, I'm Snowycats. Capankajsmilyo, thanks for creating Shubhadrangi!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Hello there! Thanks for creating an article on Misplaced Pages. When you create articles, copying and pasting is not a good thing. Even though you referenced them, you can only source information from there and not copy and paste their content.

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. Snowycats (talk) 01:35, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Shubhadrangi

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Shubhadrangi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. 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://www.ensyklopedia.com/subhadrangi-shubhadrangi-dharma-mother-of-king-ashoka-wife-of-bindusara-319-bc-295-bc. 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. Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages'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 "Click here to 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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Dr. P. C. Jain

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dr. P. C. Jain, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://indiatoday.intoday.in/educationsummit/p-c-jain.jsp.

It is possible that the bot is confused 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. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 06:28, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

If you first copy a webpage and then edit the text you copied, your article is a derived work still covered by the original copyright. Misplaced Pages is unable to accept such submissions, so I had to delete two of your articles. Please familiarise yourself with our copyright policy before you create more articles, and do not copy from other websites again. —Kusma (t·c) 09:43, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Smilyo Educational Charitable Society (August 11)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

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.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 07:26, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Random tagging

Please stop randomly adding talk page project tags to articles like you did here. I suggest you go through your contributions and remove such additions. —SpacemanSpiff 10:14, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Also please stop the addition of sister project tags when nothing exists on those projects. —SpacemanSpiff 10:16, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Please specify the talk page project tags you are referring to.--Pankaj Jain 10:19, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

See the link above -- {{WikiProject Jainism}}, {{Sister project links}} are just two examples. —SpacemanSpiff 10:25, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Sister project links were for reference purpose only, and what's talk page project? I thought it was a normal wiki tag like {{Jainism}}. It was written on the Project Page to tag Jainism Pages.--Pankaj Jain 10:27, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

The sister project links should be used when there's content in those projects, not otherwise. Wikiproject banners are for talk pages, not for article space. —SpacemanSpiff 10:58, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

So I use sister tags only when content is available and other tag on talk pages of those pages?Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs) 11:02, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes, that is correct. —SpacemanSpiff 11:05, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Sure! Thanks for the information-- Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs) 11:10, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

For e.g., you added the project tag here, but that article already has the tag on the talk page. Please remove all these tags and if any have to be added, do so on the talk page, as the project tags carry assessment and categories which do not belong in article space. —SpacemanSpiff 11:21, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.

When editing Misplaced Pages, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Canvassing

Canvassing a large number of people when you have a conflict with another editor is against Misplaced Pages policy. By my count, you have spammed thirty accounts today with the following comment:

== Dandi Swami's Greek Version == What are your comments on ]? - Pankaj Jain 1:34 am, Today (UTC−7)

This is completely inappropriate. Ogress _smash! 17:27, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Please elaborate on this. I am relatively new to wikipedia and not familiar with usertalk regulations. -- Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs) 17:29, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

You have 660 edits on Wikimedia and are apparently familiar with very intricate functions of its syntax, so you are no newcomer. In addition, I specifically linked an article above that outlines what canvassing is. Ogress _smash! 17:34, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Please check the dates, I have been actively editing since few days only. Thanks for the reference, will keep it in mind. -- Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs) 17:37, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

And yet you are aware of intricate syntax and are creating Infoboxes and are pushing POV all over Misplaced Pages. I have done quite a bit of editing on Jainism articles; your approach of using a sledgehammer such as adding a Jainism template to Gautama Buddha is not helpful. Please, direct your welcome enthusiasm at finding reliable sources. WP:RS discusses them. We are seeking secondary, scholarly sources. Ogress _smash! 17:42, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

August 2015

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Dandamis. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Misplaced Pages's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. You have canvassed 30 users with a cut'n'pasted alert. Ogress _smash! 17:31, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
