Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

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!

OK, thanks for the welcome message.-Haani40 (talk) 18:26, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cool down

Cool down, will you? You're making a lot of fuzz about a minor issue. Invest your efforts in finding a decent book or a scholarly article which argues that the Sufi's didn't aid that much to the spread of Islam in India. And you don't have to ping me each and every time. Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 10:52, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did not do anything in anger. I am a calm person by nature.-Haani40 (talk) 16:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contentious topic alert

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Capitals00 (talk) 16:17, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Read WP: CANVASSING and stop mass tagging editors in your content disputes. Ratnahastin (talk) 06:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ratnahastin: Please at least answer that question. If I have to ask for clarification the next time, where do I ask?-Haani40 (talk) 07:06, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Control copyright icon Hello Haani40! Your additions to Second Modi ministry 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. You must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. 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 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 to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • 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 either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Our policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 19:56, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also removed content you added to Bharatiya Janata Party campaign for the 2024 Indian general election and 2024 Indian general election for similar reasons. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 20:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

Kashmir in Conflict is not a web page, it is a book. So you need to use the "cite book" template. The required fields are author, publisher, and date of publication. Access-date etc. should not be included. url-access=registration can be included if the book is not free, but needs to be borrowed. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 18:05, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A good citation is one that tells the reader everything they need to about the source, without having to click anything. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:07, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I will correct it.-Haani40 (talk) 19:31, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kautilya3: I have been using this to generate the references I cite which is why that probably happened.-Haani40 (talk) 19:41, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, if you just type a url, the tools assume that you are citing a web site, even thouh for Google Books links, they might be able to recognize the book nature of it.
In your edit, you removed the url, which you need to keep. We want to encourage the readers to look up sources, so we shound't give them a hard time! More importantly, you didn't specify the page where the supporting content is. So, please add the page number(s). This is very important.
For proper instructions, see WP:Full citation. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:01, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kautilya3: It took me a long time to find but I finally found this and used it.-Haani40 (talk) 22:00, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have not mentioned the url but this is the archived url.-Haani40 (talk) 22:04, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If I submit the ISBN, it gives the results correctly, using the template for citing books.-Haani40 (talk) 07:41, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that is right. Then you may need to add the url's manually when available. It is a good idea to add url's. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:38, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need dates for books. Just the year is enough. Inside the book, you only see the years printed. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:37, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The date was mentioned in the archive url, so I added it.-Haani40 (talk) 14:44, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead fixation

Hi Haani, I am afraid you are exhibiting WP:Lead fixation. Please read that essay.

The lead summarises the article and, so, it is best written by people that understand the article well and have contributed to it. New editors can of course make suggestions if there are glaring mistakes or omissions. That was the case with your suggestions for the Aksai Chin page, but it is not so for the other pages where you are trying to insert the same content.

In general, it is not healthy to always attempt to edit leads of the articles. You should be spending much more time editing the bodies of articles rather than the leads. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:38, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks.-Haani40 (talk) 09:48, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a report involving you at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement regarding a possible violation of an Arbitration Committee decision. The thread is Abhishek0831996. Thank you. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:57, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Haani, sorry if you misunderstood. You are not "forced" to comment in the ARE case. It is entirely up to you, whether you want to comment or not. Also, if you make allegations against editors, you need to provide diffs showing the behaviour you are alleging. I suggest that you withdraw your current comment and write a proper one (if at all you want to write one). -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:51, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please move your comments to your own section. You can't write in other editors' sections. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:58, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rules

I saw you mention WP:PG for the rules you have been reading. I never knew that page even existed, and I don't find it particularly useful. All the information you need is in the Welcome message at the top of this very page. The "five pillars" page describes all the rules succinctly, and gives you links to the detailed policy pages. The rest of the Welcome message contains links to help articles. So, please look through them whenver you get a chance.

One other thing I should point out, because it is high time now! You need to start using the preview button in the editing window, to make sure that your posts are full and correct before you commit them. You are making too many edits over and over for the same post, which is mildly annoying when we look through the edit history. If you do this on peoples' user talk pages, it is even more annoying because they get a ping for every edit you make. Cheers, and all the best! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 22:12, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:FOLLOWING

WP:FOLLOWING is discouraged. You need to find your own articles of interest. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:26, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing at Annexation of Junagadh

Howdy. Please be more careful in your sourcing. The newworldencyclopedia article you added here as a source is a clearly labeled fork of Wikipedia (they copy material directly from here and then modify slightly). It cannot be used as a reference. There's a similar problem with that Business Insider India piece you added here; the material there is generally the same as our article when it was published. The material in our article is far older, so they appear to have just copied from here. Sam Kuru (talk) 16:18, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I am new here and now that you have told me, I will follow your advice.-Haani40 (talk) 16:42, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Few tips

Hi Haani40, thanks for your contributions, just wanted to share a few tips,

  • Its not a good idea to include a book's promotional quotes directly in the article.
  • Any summary of the book has to backed by a WP:RS

You can use the following links to search for sources,

  • books.google.com
  • news.google.com
  • scholar.google.com

Even Microsoft CoPilot will help when starting a new article/section.

I have cleaned up the article on RNS Singh, always maintain a objective tone and state the facts.

You can reach out to me via talk page or email (if I don't respond on time). Thanks, --TheMandarin (talk) 15:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks!-Haani40 (talk) 17:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I read this and used it but it removed the edit that was the immediate previous edit of what I wanted to remove. You have reverted that, so I will not edit war over it. I had to report your edits at ANI for which I had to see your contributions. Please respond at the ANI thread about you.-Haani40 (talk) 12:55, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Have already done that as well, in case you don't reply there! Goodfacts666 (talk) 12:59, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
