RE: Need Help
[edit]Sorry for taking so long to respond. I am no expert on code, but if I'm not mistaken, I think Wikipedia uses its own code. As far as how to create an article, you can check out these links:
Just make sure that whatever you create an article on is notable and is covered by a variety of reliable sources that you can cite (see also: WP:OPTIONAL). If you have any questions, you can also visit the Teahouse, a friendly place to help new editors become accustomed to Wikipedia culture, ask questions, and develop community relationships.

- Text formatting is at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting, and table instructions are at Help:Introduction to tables with Wiki Markup/1. However, don't go overboard on tables, they should be used infrequently on Wikipedia. Whilst your enthusiasm is great, I'd take a little longer to get a feel for how Wikipedia works, and perhaps don't start any new articles or do anything too ambitious for the first month or so. There's lots of smaller jobs to do that will help you understand the culture and mechanics of Wikipedia. You might want to take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Indian cinema task force, in particular you might want to improve some of the films on this list. Or have a look around Wikipedia:WikiProject India, in particular their (very big!) cleanup list. Cheers.Le Deluge (talk) 12:52, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
User page categories
[edit]Hello. In general it's a bad idea to add to any page categories that don't exist (indicated by them showing in red). In particular with your User page, if a category shows up red then that suggests you are trying to do something that doesn't work. We try to keep user pages separate from the encyclopedia, and so they have a whole separate tree of categories, starting with Wikipedians.... Because you are not a "user" (unless you are suggesting you are a drug user?), you are a Wikipedian, which is why Category:User has been deleted since 2005. And is it not surprising that noone has thought to create a Category:Male? That's because the hierarchy is at Category:Male Wikipedians. And so on. So please delete those red categories on your user page and have a look through Category:Wikipedians for categories that actually exist. Le Deluge (talk) 12:15, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you - although you should note that Category:Person is a redirect to Category:People, which is the top of the main tree for article biographies. In general, if a category doesn't have the word "Wikipedian" in it, you shouldn't use it on your user page. Also you can't claim to have contributed to 11 Good Articles yet. A "Good Article" has a specific meaning on Wikipedia, it means an article that has gone through a particular approval process. See Wikipedia:Good articles for details - let's just say that if you have taken an article through that process, you wouldn't want people making false claims that they have done it when they haven't.

Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello Imnaiyar, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Fan (film) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- 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. (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.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- 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 is 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 or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in 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. bonadea contributions talk 14:01, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 28
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shahbazwan, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Mystery and Jobs. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:30, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:52, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Removal of speedy deletion tags
[edit]Hi, @Imnaiyar:, I noticed you removed the speedy deletion tags on CarryMinati without explanation. It would be helpful to the nominator(s), other editors and the creator to know why. Thanks, Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- @Imnaiyar: Few things, please don't create talk messages on user pages, you can respond by clicking talk on any user page and please respond here, on your talk page to me with regard to this article. As far as your removal of the speedy deletion tags - I'd strongly recommend not doing so until you have a firm understanding of the criteria. The tag you removed was A7, which is an article about a real person that does not credibly indicate notability, but in your response to me you said " it says there is not citation or relaible sources and after providing citation and sources i removed it." which does not address the actual removal of the speedy deletion tags since it was not flagged for a lack of references in total. The sources you added are also not really reliable and independent as they are a facebook photo, a "biography" article in the equivalent of a blog and an unsourced blog post about the subject. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The article Mohammad Abdullah Shaikh has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Image source problem with File:Shahbajwan Location Map.png
[edit]Thank you for uploading File:Shahbajwan Location Map.png.
This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.
If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:08, 3 March 2023 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 16:08, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
