User talk:Paikrishnan

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added, because it 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. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 04:46, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, the pages you link are unreferenced, and often contain inaccurate or incorrect statements (I haven't examined them closely, but, say, [1]). I do advise against adding them to wikipedia. Materialscientist (talk) 07:10, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Science articles and creating a new article

Hello Pai

I see that you had added external links to a bunch of science articles and that almost all of them have been removed. As also written on this talk page by others, check that what you're adding is relevant to the article. Also, being a new user, combined with how and what you added, you were considered somewhat of a spammer.

Take a look at the changes that I made here and here. I've made the external links more likely to be kept, because the description better reflects what is within, as opposed to being seen as spam/commercials for Amrita University. I think the Amrita content can be useful, so consider adding it to articles again, but check to see if it is relevant to the article. In addition, the links you added to the last page were to "simulation" and "video" pages which require login, and are therefore not suitable for Wikipedia - however the first 2 pages are, so I changed them.

I also saw that you asked about creating a new article. You can read about that here and here. In the last link, pay attention to the section "Non-notable topics".

Be bold, but be aware of "wheel warring" and citeria for speedy deletion.

I just noticed that administrator Materialscientist has previously given you a level 2 warning for spam, also citing incorrect/imprecise statements on the pages you linked to. I suggest you use the talk page on the relevant articles to add your suggestion for an external link - at least regarding Amrita articles. Katana (talk) 18:31, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr Velukutty Arayan

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Dr Velukutty Arayan, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

  If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
