Dear Wikipedian, why you are continually putting biased information on News Portal ? You should be neutral as per policy of Misplaced Pages. Your Contribution should be neutral as you're human being. we have two different sources of information about tomorrow killing on Kashmir by Indian forces. it is not clear that either killed local Kashmiris were Militants or Fake encounter. Extrajudicial Killings aren't consider as a factual information. Please, you are human being first then Indian or anything else. Untill and unless any terrorist organisation do not accept their affiliation, we cannot consider them Militants or terrorists. Thanks (Knowiunderstandit (talk) 11:00, 22 February 2020 (UTC))

@Knowiunderstandit Well. I know about neutrality. But two sources convey information that are wildly different, your take on that appeared to side on only one of thosewhen you said "Kashmiri civilians allegedly Militants". Why can't it be "Militants allegedly Kashmiri civilians"?. Even your contribution is not completely right so I suggest you change it. Shanze1 (talk) 11:25, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

DYK invite

Hi Shanze1, thanks for creating the article Thiruvalluvar year. I would suggest you to contribute to the Misplaced Pages:Did you know. If you are interested nominate the articles here. Gfosankar (talk) 08:20, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Interested in pending changes reviewer?

I declined your rollback request, but I thought pending changes reviewer might be more useful to you. Interested? Why don't you read Misplaced Pages:Reviewing pending changes and Misplaced Pages:Pending changes let me know! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 03:06, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

@Amorymeltzer: Hi. Thanks. I guess I will come back to rollback rights later when I can. I read about the pending changes reviewer role which I knew a bit about before. It interests me and I'd love to take that role. I shall now request for the same in it's request page. Thanks! Shanze1 (talk) 04:26, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

• Misplaced Pages:Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes

File:Thadam poster.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Misplaced Pages non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

FR30799386's User Scripts

Dear all. Recently, FR30799386 (talk) was blocked for sock puppetry. Among their projects were a number of user scripts that they left behind. I (DannyS712) have copied the scripts, and have taken over maintaining them. You currently import one or more of FR30799386's scripts, and I thought that you might want to import a maintained version. Links to each script are provided below.

• User:DannyS712/communicator
• User:DannyS712/copyvio-check
• User:DannyS712/Undo
• User:DannyS712/Quick-undo
• User:DannyS712/Readonly
• User:DannyS712/Redirectify
• User:DannyS712/Section-strike

If you have any questions, please reach out and talk to me. --DannyS712 (talk) 03:57, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Gaana screenshot.png

Thanks for uploading File:Gaana screenshot.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:38, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

mobileUndo

Hello, recently FR30799386 was blocked for sock puppetry. The left behind few of their scripts. DannyS712 has copied the scripts, and has taken over maintaining them. It appears that you currently importing an outdated version of import FR30799386's mobileUndo, and I thought that you might want to import an updated and maintained version. The outdated version you are currently importing has some bugs. Those bugs have been fixed by the original creator and DannyS712 synced their version of the script with it. Also FR is currently rewritting and updating this script on meta-wiki per this advice as well as adding new features. Please copy one of the following codes and replace it with the code you currently have in your Special:MyPage/minerva.js or Special:MyPage/common.js to import this script. Thank you.

Misplaced Pages and copyright

Hello Shanze1, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Your additions to Keeladi excavation site have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission.) 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.

• 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. Doug Weller talk 08:58, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

move discussion, not AfD

Hi. I hope you are doing well. I saw Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/2020 Premier Badminton League, where you said "Have to delete this redirect before moving 2019–20 Premier Badminton League here." Well, this actually goes to WP:Requested moves. I would have boldly moved the article to 2020 Premier Badminton League, but I am not familiar with naming conventions of sporting events. On completely another note, we have one more venue for deleting redirects at Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion. I know, we have too many venues If you have any doubt or question, please feel free to ask me. Regards, —usernamekiran (talk) 22:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. I came to know about that after requesting here. I would've moved it myself if there wasn't this issue. But anyway, I put a request in WP:Requested moves now. Shanze1 (talk) 05:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/2020 Premier Badminton League

A tag has been placed on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/2020 Premier Badminton League requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done for the following reason:

incorrect venue. Told the nominator about RfD, and RM special:diff/937261967

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:15, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
