Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
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; 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!

[edit]Hello, I'm TheEpTic. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Malankara Church—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. TheEpTic (talk) 09:29, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello Kkktpkirij, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Malankara Metropolitan 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, 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) 14:35, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm CLCStudent. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Thanks. CLCStudent (talk) 18:13, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Malankara Church, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. If it's cited, do not remove. Jerod Lycett (talk) 13:10, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, you may be blocked from editing. CLCStudent (talk) 15:51, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. CLCStudent (talk) 16:03, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry
[edit]This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing for sock puppetry per evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kkktpkirij.

- @Callanecc: @Ymblanter: @RoySmith: @ST47: @Berean Hunter: @Bbb23: I have formed a theory of what I suspect is going on here. I think we have a case of meatpuppetry (not ruling out socking either) and I think that a group of Malankara Church faithful has been commissioned to edit Wikipedia on behalf of that Church. Whether it is an informal gentlemen's agreement or a direct order from a bishop or other hierarch, I have seen signs of claims that these users are operating on the behalf of the hierarchy. That would constitute a conflict of interest as well. I do not know whether they are being paid for this service. It would behoove us to maintain strict protection on all related articles in this topic area so that the meatpuppets cannot cause further disruption. I have not detected their activity outside of a small collection of articles directly related to Malankara Church as well as the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. I will keep my eyes peeled, and I thank admins kindly for their care and attention in keeping Wikipedia safe for all. Elizium23 (talk) 02:29, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
