Women in Kashmir conflict

Hello, that section you removed about women's actions during the Kashmir conflict was one that my group had to write for a group project and add to a Misplaced Pages page. However, it has to be a subsection rather than an entire page. Is there any other page that it can be added to regarding the Kashmir Conflict? Flowergirls7 (talk) 01:34, 4 December 2018 (UTC)Flowergirls7

Flowergirls7, if you are doing a student project, please let your instructor know that they have to follow the instructions at WP:Student assignments.

There is certainly a need for a section on women's roles in the Kashmir insurgency article, assuming you are interested in the insurgency aspects. But you need to read the article first and find content that fits into the narrative of the article. You can't just write a little essay and stick it anywhere you please. Also, you need to read more sources. Nyla Ali Khan's book is a bit of a personalised memoir. It may not have much content that can go into an encyclopedia. Here are a couple of scholarly works that deal with the subject better:

• Shekhawat, Seema (2014), Gender, Conflict and Peace in Kashmir, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 978-1-107-04187-5
• Parashar, Swati (2014), Women and Militant Wars: The politics of injury, Routledge, ISBN 978-1-134-11606-5

Musunuri Nayakas

Hi, I can see that you contributed extensively to this article Musunuri Nayakas. I can see several changes happened to this article recently and I am not sure if those are constructive. Can you look into this article when you get a chance. Cheers Sharkslayer87 (talk) 16:04, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the alert. I reverted the edits from newbies. They were clearly putting up POVs. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 05:14, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

I need to confirm

Did you send me a mail from different email IDs... so a total of two mails? My Gmail is giving me a really weird message. :D :D Regards. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 05:00, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Gmail is paranoid, but nothing is wrong. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 05:12, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Hmm ok... :D Just now I asked Peacemaker what he thought about being careful with identities when editing pages such as Bleed India and all on my talkpage just now, he also considered being circumspect when it comes to identity. Anyway. :D DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 05:17, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Well

Read and discuss on Ayodhya talk page before removing my citation again. Thanks.JayB91 (talk) 06:53, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Issue with Kartarpur Corridor

I am concerned that you are using the article on Kartarpur Corridor to publish unverifiable, non cited information. Please remember Misplaced Pages is a knowledge base and not a ground of political discourse. Please keep the tone neutral and desist from statements that arouse sentiments. For instance, you claimed that the Akali Dal asked PM Nehru to redraw India's western boundary and include the Kartarpur in India. You have not cited any original article or knowledge base to substantiate this claim. I have complete knowledge of this proposed corridor and I created the page too. Incited, and non cited unreliable claims will be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amanverma121 (talk • contribs) 07:34, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Everything I have added to the article has citations. And there are plenty of other editors watching the page too. If there is any statement that is not verified, you can tag it with a {{not in source}} tag and somebody will look into it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 08:54, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

DYK for Bleed India with a Thousand Cuts

On 29 December 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bleed India with a Thousand Cuts, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after its defeat in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, Pakistan formulated a military doctrine designed to "Bleed India with a Thousand Cuts"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bleed India with a Thousand Cuts. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Bleed India with a Thousand Cuts), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The DYK progress was not possible without your immense help in improving the article. It is only fair if the credits for this DYK is shared with you. cheers. --DBigXrayᗙ 10:27, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Copyvio

Hello Kautilya3, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. All or some of your addition(s) to Kashmir Conflict have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and 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 Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages: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 the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Misplaced Pages:Copyrights. You may also want to review Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Misplaced Pages. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 Misplaced Pages:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Misplaced Pages:Translation#How to translate. See also Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages.

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. Dilpa kaur (talk) 11:26, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

@Vanamonde93: it seems to me that this editor is in for a block for disruptive editing... See Kashmir conflict: Revision history for his removal of quotes which were given within references and quotation-marks, and his edit-summaries. Or, alternatively, they really don't understand the policy. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 11:31, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

@Joshua Jonathan: Are you aware that per WP:COPYQUOTE addition of extensive quotes is prohibited? The real disruption is copyright violations.@Diannaa: Please take a look at the massive amounts of copyrighted paragraphs Kautilya3 has been adding on Kashmir Conflict over the past few years, despite awareness that it is prohibited. (See his 9 May edit summary here) I have just been spending my weekend morning getting rid of these infringements. There is still plenty more to clean up. Its quite problematic that this user (and others, though most of those are blocked already) has been adding thousands of bytes of copyrighted quotes. Dilpa kaur (talk) 11:45, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
