Hello, Kartikguide, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.



Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
How do I create an article?
See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
  1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
  2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
  3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
  4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
  5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
  6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
  7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Information icon Hello, I'm Apparition11. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Pattachitra have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links.

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Baluchari sari, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. Apparition11 Complaints/Mistakes 13:35, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Thanjavur painting. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Note, I've removed your content from Buddhist symbolism, Paisley (design), France and weapons of mass destruction, Oxo Tower and Phastos. In each case, you've blatantly copied the material from the source you used - you must write your own content and use sources to support it; you cannot just steal the works of others. Additionally, if it was not clear from the warnings above, please stop adding links to sites you have a conflict of interest with. Sam Kuru (talk) 13:54, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Appeal for Unblocking my Account

[edit]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Kartikguide (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I'm worried that my contributions might not have been well accepted because I'm actively contributing to a really delicate article. I provided more information about the meaning of symbols in a particular area, referencing the source from which I got my data. As a result, my account was unexpectedly blocked very quickly

Decline reason:

I believe you are attempting to deceive us; it is not hard to determine you have a strong connection to Exotic India Art and that you are a paid editor. Until you're honest about this, there is no pathway forward. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 13:18, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

That is not right, you've been blocked because you've been spamming a website on Wikipedia. There are other forums for you to do so, an encyclopaedia isn't one for that. —SpacemanSpiff 07:05, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I completely grasp your perspective and concerns. I aimed to enhance the credibility by providing a citation to the source. However, being relatively new to Wikipedia with just a year of experience, I may have inadvertently overlooked certain guidelines. I sincerely apologize for any oversight on my part. I am committed to familiarizing myself with the proper protocols for contributing to Wikipedia before making further contributions. I kindly request a second chance to make a positive and valuable contribution to the wiki community. Kartikguide (talk) 07:37, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Are you associated with Exotic India Art? 331dot (talk) 09:27, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, I understand that Wikipedia is open source, and endorsing a specific brand is not appropriate. Exotic India Art is a relatively lesser-known brand, but it provided the precise information I needed for citation. That's why I included references from their source.
