Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Indo-Greek Kingdom into Greek conquests in India. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:02, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

I see by your addition to Antiochus I Soter that you are still not adding the required attribution, as required under the terms of the CC-by-SA license. Please have a look at this edit summary as an example of how it is done. Please leave a message on my talk page if you still don't understand what to do or why we have to do it. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:07, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Vasudeva Krishna coin

Hi Patliputra. I removed the image you added to Krishna because it cannot be verified as being Krishna. Please provide a direct link to the image on cng coins so that it is clear that the image is that of Krishna. Thanks. --regentspark (comment) 22:09, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I've reverted my edit.--regentspark (comment) 13:47, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Special Barnstar
	Thanks for adding a number of images from CNG coins to Commons. Post-Mauryan coinage of Gandhara looks interesting as well. Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 13:40, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Structured citations

Hi, check out this video on how to easily cite sources in a structured manner. Use of the sfn template will also help in avoiding duplicates and streamlining the reference section. Adding quotations becomes easier as well. Just an FYI.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 10:06, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Attribution

Hi, thanks for all your various improvements to so many articles. However, why not simply provide attribution or a note in the edit summary (as explained by Diannaa above) when you copy text from one article to another? This is just one of many recent additions where you reuse content (from Yaudheyas in this case) without proper attribution. Please also cite sources for the many images of coins that you're adding to article; even cngcoins.com, if applicable, is fine. Cheers.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 08:38, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Sage of Bactria

	Sage of Bactria
	Thank you for creating and expanding a significant number of pages on the rulers of Bactria and Gandhara. You're input, including your excellent coin-derived reliefs, has covered a big knowledge gap in wikipedia for a fascinating time in history, from the Hellenistic states, to the Kushanshahs, to the last of the Hunic emperors! alx_bio 16:41, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

is sandrocottus chandragupta of maurya dynasty or chandragupta of gupta dynasty?

it seems that you have good knowledge of Magadha empire and Gupta empire.please give some guidance regarding the following. which I want to add in Chandragupta of Gupta dynasty

In the middle of the 19th century MaxMuller for the first time termed the identity of sandrokottas with Chandragupta Maurya as the sheet anchor of Indian history. It is being challenged since its inception. M.troyer was the first to oppose it in the letter to prof.MaxMullar and since then a number of scholars like T.S.Narayana Sastry, N. Jagannatharao, M.Krishnamachariar, Kota Venkatachalam, Pandit Bhagavadatta, D.s Trivedi and other are opposing it in their books and articles.According to Kota Venkatachelam

The greatest mistake that has ever been committed in the field of the Chronology of Ancient India-nay the greatest harm that has ever been done to the cause and progress of the ancient Indian History and Literature-is the so called identification of Sandrocottus, Sandrocyptus, of the Greek writers of Alexander’s history with Chandragupta Maurya, the first king of the Maurya Dynasty, and of the so-called identification of Xandrames or Andramen with Nanda, the father of the said Chandragupta Maurya.

Greek writers mentioned along with sandrocottus two other names Xandrames his predecessor and sandrocyptus his successor. wantonly they ignored the Gupta Chandragupta whose predecessor was chandrasri or chandramas or chandrabija and successor SamudraGupta, who could easily be identified with Xandrames and sandrocyptus.In spite of lack of any correspondence between xandrames and sandracyptus with mahapadmananda and bindusara, the predecessor and successor of Chandragupta Maurya respectively, the latter was declared to be the cotemporary of alexander and relegated to 327 B.C., thus reducing the antiquity of Indian history by more than 12 centuries.
