Welcome!
Hello, Krao212, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

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 Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Krao212, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Women in India 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 Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. 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.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
- 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 Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia: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. Apparition11 Complaints/Mistakes 14:46, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- User:Apparition11 I missed your edit summary for the original revert that you had made. Thank you for describing it here.
October 2020
Please note that after I reverted your first edit on Women in India, in which you had taken out the word "Hindu" from the lead, the proper resolution per WP:BRD would have been to open a talk page thread on that page. I apologize for inadequately quoting Burton Stein. I have now expanded the quotation. The page numbers are 87 to 90. I have rephrased the sentence to be more nuanced and precise.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, you may be blocked from editing. Tayi Arajakate Talk 02:59, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
December 2020
Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Slavery in India. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 00:17, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add defamatory content to Wikipedia, as you did at Coalition Against Genocide. using sources that fail WP:RS Doug Weller talk 18:05, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
Content removal warning
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Douglas Murray (author), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. this was a wholesale revert of material that was based on a wealth of academic and journalistic sources, without any engagement with talk page or sincere attempt to improve page. Please refrain from deleting material without justification
