Deepon, talk to me! Your major edits so far are this article but it STILL needs improvements. Off the cuff, I can mention two :

  • Copyvio. This needs to be done by you.
  • Detailed referencing.

What's your plan for all this? AshLin (talk) 12:05, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AshLin, sorry for the late reply, yes I know I need to work on the article. I can assure you that there are no copyvios at all. I need to & will enhance the article...:)Thanks & regards,--Deepon (talk) 18:51, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Deepon. I have your talk page in my watchlist as you were one of the Campus Ambassadors for the India Education Project and thought I'd help out here. I've removed one section as it was pretty much a verbatim copy from the glossary pages at http://www.semi1source.com and hadn't been credited at all in your article. I couldn't at first sight find any other instances of copy-paste or close paraphrasing, but you need to check the reminder of the article very closely to make sure you haven't done this elsewhere, possibly from other sources. I formatted the one source you listed (Schuegraf, K. F.; King, C. C.; and Hu, C. (1993)) and removed a Wikipedia article which you had listed as a second source. Wikipedia can't reference itself. I'm not sure of the degree to which you have actually used the Schuegraf source, but if you have used other sources as well, you need to list them and add inline citations. You also need inline citations for any information coming from Schuegraf. Let me know if you have any further questions. I'll leave some advice below on how to avoid copyright problems. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 13:28, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Voceditenore, Thanks for those details. Yes, I know I need to work on that article, but I can assure you that there are no copyvios whatsoever. All the informations are from my own knowledge I gained during my masters on VLSI (even the pictures are drawn by me), I know I need to work on the references and I will. I checked the link you provided (http://www.semi1source.com) and couldn't find that amount of similarities to invoke a copyvio. If I have missed something, please let me know, in the mean time I'll reformate my article.Thanks for formatting the reference, looking forward for your help...:) Thanks & regards,--Deepon (talk) 18:51, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry Deepon but a significant portion of the Conclusion section replicated virtually word for word that source. Observe these sample searches on the key word strings [1], [2]. Editors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. I'm going to revert you again. Please do not re-add this section until it is entirely in your own words. Note that leaving a few words out or changing one or two words is not sufficient. Please read the links in the guidance I've given you below. Voceditenore (talk) 19:06, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Voceditnore, yes there is no doubt a significant amount of similarity. I don't know how this can happen, as I wrote it entirely myself. Perhaps, the author of that website wrote those lines after reading the same book like I did. Anyway, I have changed the words, you can check on it. Thanks again for pointing it out.

Avoiding copyright problems

  • 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 a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia: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. (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 information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 if public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest

Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

March 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page National Institute of Technology, Agartala do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. On top of making three external links, you also linked to the user space, and made an edit which was very obviously promotional. Please don't repeat that. Muhandes (talk) 20:46, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the external link refers to the Annual Tech-Fest by National Institute of Technology, Agartala. That external link is not to the website of any third organization and hence does not fail WP:ELNO #19 as mentioned by Nearly Headless Nick in the talk page. I will leave this matter to experienced editors like you to decide further. Thanks, Deepon (talk) 18:30, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just so it is clear, the above note was about external link you added to the article body, which the guideline forbids. It is totally unrelated to the subject of external links in the "External links" section which is now going on. Best regards. --Muhandes (talk) 11:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

April 2012

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to National Institute of Technology, Agartala. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Please stop promoting yourself. Please also read the guideline about external links and WP:CREDENTIAL. Muhandes (talk) 05:48, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing it out Muhandes, I have posted my reply on your (talk) page under the section NIT Agartala. --Deepon (talk) 18:24, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deepon. I've done some formatting of your recent changes/additions to make them conform to the Manual of Style. It's a bit better now, but I think it's still probably a long way from "B" class. As this is a very technical subject, I encourage you to ask someone from WikiProject Electronics to assess it for you. They may be able to give you tips on how to improve the content. Normally, editors do not assess their own articles beyond "stub" or "start" class. It's considered good form to ask an independent editor to assess it for anything higher than that.
