Hello, I'm MrX. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Brahmacharini, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - MrX 20:53, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello Kev8927, and welcome to Wikipedia. I came across your new article Siddhidaatri today. I wanted to explain that when you start an article on Wikipedia, you must provide at least one reliable published source to back up what you are saying. You can't just work from your own knowledge, even if you are completely sure that you are correct. It's very important here that the information be verifiable by someone else. As you will see, I added some blue links to your article; that is also fairly important because it links your article to other articles. All good wishes to you, Invertzoo (talk) 20:24, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Durgamasur
[edit]Hello Kev8927,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Durgamasur for deletion, because it seems to be vandalism or a hoax.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Rswallis10 (talk) 21:09, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm DanielRigal. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Mahavidya, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The "stories" section you added was far too big. It was also completely unreferenced. Please remember that we are trying to explain the overall subject, not to capture every individual story about it. Also, please remember that we need to know where the content comes from. Without references we can't tell if they are authentic. DanielRigal (talk) 18:47, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello Kev8927, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Brahmacharini have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 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 the 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 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:38, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm Chiswick Chap. A series of edits that you recently made to Bhramari, Ambika (goddess), Chanda and Munda, Mahavidya, and Kushmanda seemed to be tests and have been removed.
I am not sure I understand why you are doing this, but the behaviour has now been repeated over several articles over a period of weeks, so it looks like something of a habit. It would be much appreciated if you stopped doing it.
I notice also that you have made large additions of story material to these goddess articles, without providing any sources. Wikipedia REQUIRES all editors to provide Reliable Sources for all material added. I would ask you please to read the linked policy and to take special care to add only fully-sourced material from now on. Many thanks.
If you want to practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:19, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
