Hello, I'm SummerPhDv2.0. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Bindi (decoration), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SummerPhD^v2.0 03:14, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

SummerPhDv2.0 Hey! I added 3 reliable, verified sources /citations and re-added that. Thank you : ) Tithi.sarkar (talk) 03:27, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Tithi.sarkar, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Kathak 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. Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk🌴Help out at CCI!} 17:04, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Controversial edits are not minor

Hi Tithi.sarkar! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at 1971 Bangladesh genocide that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:20, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for reaching out :) Tithi.sarkar (talk) 18:54, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

You are mistaken in your edit summary, Beachler and Bose are both generally reliable sources for the topic. However, Bose does not support the statement where cited (I don't know why Buidhe recently added a citation to that paper), so your removal of that citation was right, although for the wrong reason. In the process of removing two opinion pieces, which was a good thing to do, Buidhe also dropped a reliable source and warped the text. I've restored that source and text. Basically it says that there's an academic consensus that genocide was committed in East Pakistan in 1971, but that the consensus isn't unanimous. That shouldn't surprise anyone. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:47, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

April 2021

Hello, I'm Firestar464. I noticed that you recently removed content from Pahela Baishakh without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Firestar464 (talk) 06:53, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

I would agree with Firestar 464 here. The fact that the Bengali New year is celebrated in Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Orissa, Nepal on the same day is not irrelevant, is it? There is obviously a link. And I provided rigorous citations. Dipendra2007 (talk) 16:42, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Dipendra2007 (talk) Similar events might take place around Bengal, but those have their individual own names and history, is different from "Pahela Baishakh" and have their own characteristics. Hence no relevancy in this case.

I still do not understand why you reverted my edits supported by citations. The Bengali New Year is celebrated in Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Punjab pretty much on the same day. That sure is relevant, is it not? There are parallels here. Dipendra2007 (talk) 16:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Dipendra2007 (talk) , the other festivals you mentioned are not "Bengali New Year". Also 1. they are celebrated prior Pahela Baishakh

2.as per the sources provided, Bengali calender was established by Emperor Akbar for tax collection purposes, the other events you mentioned don't share the same history as this one.

3.Dates might overlap, but that doesn't make it the "same" or "similar" I'm sure there are famous people who were born on this day too. Should i add their Birthdays too? (just kidding) Wikipedia should be user friendly and free from chaos.It shouldn't have topics which have little to no relevancy.
