Disambiguation link notification for December 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kolhapur ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kashi ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:51, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Please remove any uses of Sri from your edits and "Lord"
Although not specifically mentioned in MOS:PREFIX ↗, it's obviously a prefix not to be used. LIkewise, it is just Krishna - similar to the fact that we use the word Jesus in articles, not Christ, As new editor I wouldn't expect you to know this. Thanks. <span style="color:#070">Doug Weller</span> talk 10:14, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
:Hello Doug,
:Thank you for pointing this out. I'll keep it in mind and take care henceforth.
:Regards,

::Thanks. We generally avoid suffixes and prefixes, as it says at MOS:PREFIX ↗. <span style="color:#070">Doug Weller</span> talk 10:34, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Edit summaries
Please stop using misleading edit summaries. Hardly any of your edits are actually spelling corrections, but you say most of them are in your edit summaries. Correct and explanatory edit summaries are useful for other editors; misleading ones are disruptive. Please see Help:Edit summary ↗. Bishonen | tålk 13:49, 2 January 2025 (UTC).

Sources
Hi - please take time to read our guidance on reliable sources ↗. Goodreads is user generated content ↗, and considered generally unreliable - don't use it. Even worse, mark-whitfield.com is literally some random person's blog, and the 'article' you were citing is literally a copy of our (Wikipedia's) article about the film - we never cite anything like that. Please be more careful to ensure that websites you site are in line with the reliable sources guidelines. Thanks <span style="font-family:Impact;color:#006400;">Girth</span> <span style="font-family:Impact;color:#4B0082;">Summit</span><sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)</sub> 14:52, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
:Please knock it off. Fandom? It's a wiki - it's the definition of WP:UGC ↗. Please don't add any more sources until you have reviewed the reliable sources guidance. <span style="font-family:Impact;color:#006400;">Girth</span> <span style="font-family:Impact;color:#4B0082;">Summit</span><sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)</sub> 14:54, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
::Hi - look, I'm not trying to pick on you, but I've just reverted a whole bunch of edits you made. Your 'spelling corrections' were all changing acceptable spellings in American English into alternative versions of English - look at MOS:ENGVAR ↗ and MOS:RETAIN ↗; if you're editing articles about American movies you will usually find that they are written in American English, that should not be changed. You also added some more dud sources - IMdB (and boxofficemojo, a sister site of IMDB run by the same people) are more examples of user-generated content - they generally shouldn't be cited (with some limited exceptions - there is more on this at WP:CITING IMDB ↗). So far, you haven't responded to anything I'm saying here - I should warn you that if you continue to add unreliable sources without responding to concerns, your account might end up blocked. <span style="font-family:Impact;color:#006400;">Girth</span> <span style="font-family:Impact;color:#4B0082;">Summit</span><sub style="font-family:Segoe print;color:blue;"> (blether)</sub> 15:29, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

::You will take care? How can it be, then, that you continued with the so-called spelling corrections (=inappropriate changes from American to British spelling in articles about American subjects) ''after'' Girth's revert and informative edit summary here ↗, and also ''after'' Girth's warning ↗ on your page? Take a look at the history ↗ of A Few Good Men ↗. You have simply ignored warnings and advice, including about the important matter of reliable sources (=''not'' sources with user-generated content such as IMDB). After all the attempts to reason with you, a block comes next. But note that you can ask an uninvolved admin to review the block by adding the following text to the bottom of this page: <code><nowiki>{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}</nowiki></code>.

Wikipedia and copyright
30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon ↗ Hello Circular Karma! Your additions to :Palghar ↗ 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright ↗ and plagiarism ↗ issues. Here are the key points:
- '''Limited quotation:''' You may only copy or translate a ''small'' portion of a source. Any direct quotations ↗ must be enclosed in double quotation mark ↗s (") and properly cited using an inline citation ↗. More information is available on the non-free content page ↗. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners ↗.
- '''Paraphrasing:''' Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information ''in your own words''. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues ↗ and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing ↗. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources ↗ as appropriate.
- '''Image use guidelines:''' In most scenarios, only freely licensed ↗ or public domain ↗ images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons ↗. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria ↗; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide ↗ may help with determining a file's eligibility.
- '''Copyrighted material donation:''' If ''you'' hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you ''may'' be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials ↗.
- '''Copying and translation within Wikipedia:''' Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia ↗. For translation, see {{section link|Help:Translation|Licensing}}.
:Hello DanCherek,
:Thank you for your pointers. I will abide by them.

Mirrors
25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thanks for contributing to the article Eden Gardens ↗. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable ↗ and attributed to reliable sources ↗. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored ↗, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference ↗ and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia ↗ or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page ↗, or just ask me. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-refimprove --> ''Sam '''Kuru''' (talk) ↗'' 12:46, 27 April 2025 (UTC) <br clear="both">
:Hello Kuru,
:Thank you for pointing this out. I'll take additional care henceforth.
:Regards, Circular Karma (talk) 15:30, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Short descriptions
Hi, there have been a couple of cases where you've inserted a second short description when there was already one in place, such as here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jayesh_Rane&diff=prev&oldid=1288126019 so please be a bit more careful, thanks FMSky (talk) 04:41, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
August 2025
25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced ↗ information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons ↗, as you did to :Shenaz Treasury ↗. ''Do not add birth dates without citing a reliable source ↗, thank you!''<!-- Template:uw-biog2 --> <b style="color:black">Felida</b><sup style="color:black">97</sup> (talk) 16:09, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in :Shootout at Lokhandwala ↗. There is a Manual of Style ↗, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. ''Please see WP:OVERLINK ↗''<!-- Template:uw-mos2 --> Drmies (talk) 14:14, 19 August 2025 (UTC)
Short descriptions (again)
Hi, despite FMSky's message in May ↗, you continue to insert a second short description (SD) template basically every time your edit summary says "Birth Year added to Short description" (e.g., {{diff2|1289420048|here}}, {{diff2|1292909265|here}}, or {{diff2|1303185000|here}}). (Sometimes, you even add a third SD to a page where you had already added a second one (e.g., :Vaibhav Mangle ↗).) But your SDs so far would have been problematic even if you had not added them in a second SD template, because the capitalization in your copies of the existing SDs has been consistently wrong. Like many other parts of Wikipedia (e.g., article and section titles), SDs are written in :sentence case ↗, which means, with few exceptions (most notably, proper nouns), only the first word is capitalized, not every word (as in your SDs). Finally, please always make sure that the birth year you add to the short description is actually sourced within the article (copying an unsourced birth year from the article is not any better than adding a birth year that's not mentioned in the article to the SD). Please be more careful (so your edits don't continue to create additional work for others), thanks! <b style="color:black">Felida</b><sup style="color:black">97</sup> (talk) 21:12, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
Overlinking
Hi - I have reverted a few of your edits, such as at Sameera Reddy ↗, for overlinking - so I have come to explain the reason.<br>As explained at WP:OVERLINKING ↗ we only link the '''first''' use of a term in any main section of an article, and we do not normally link:-
- Everyday words understood by most readers. (e.g. television, restaurant, films)
- Common occupations (e.g. actor)
- Names familiar to most readers, including;- major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions (e.g. Indian, American)

Overlinking
Hello! I've reverted some of your edits across several pages for overlinking. I see that you have been warned about the sane before.
As explained at WP:OVERLINKING ↗, we only link the first use of a term in any main section of an article, and we do not normally link.
• Everyday words understood by most readers. (e.g. television, restaurant, films)
• Common occupations (e.g. actor)
• Names familiar to most readers, including;- major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions (e.g. Indian, American)
Please be mindful of the aforementioned guidelines. Thanks! Baberoothless (talk) 08:47, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
:I’m also seeing a pattern of adding unreliable sources to pages. Please note that Indiaforums, Upstall, StarsUnfolded, Cinetown, etc are not considered reliable sources. I’d suggest using this guide ↗ to assess which Indian publications can be used as reliable sources in the future.
:Since a vast majority of your contributions include adding links, it’s best to check if you’re not repeating the links that are already in the article. I came across a few instances where, for example, you added a link to “Delhi” when Delhi was already linked elsewhere in the article. I’d also strongly discourage you from adding links to “Indian” on every single page you encounter.
:Both of these things have been brought to your attention by other editors, so I’m sure you’re already familiar with these issues. I hope you can be more receptive to these suggestions as they only help improve your contributions. Baberoothless (talk) 12:31, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
::Hello Baberoothless. I was not aware of the guide for Indian sources. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll take care for it as well as the linking. Regards, Circular Karma (talk) 16:26, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
