25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions ↗, such as the edit you made to :Alistair Overeem ↗, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted ↗. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines ↗. You can find information about these at our welcome page ↗ which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia ↗. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page ↗. Thank you. <b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FA0"> Cassiopeia</b><sup>(<b style="#0000FF">talk</b>)</sup> 00:18, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon ↗ Hello Metalune! Your additions to :Taoist sexual practices ↗ 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 mark ↗s (") 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 ↗. 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 ↗.

We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use ↗ images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria ↗ in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.

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 either 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 ↗.

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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia ↗. See also Help:Translation#License requirements ↗.

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) 11:25, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tantric sex ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indian alchemy ↗. 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) 05:59, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion ↗ of :Sama vritti ↗

left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :Sama vritti ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''There is already a decent page on pranayama ↗. It does not seem appropriate to have a separate page on a sub-technique. If needed, this content could be merged into pranayama ↗ but it looks like it is already there.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons ↗.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, the speedy deletion ↗ process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion.

Major change to Nondualism ↗ without prior discussion

I have reverted you undiscussed major change to Nondualism ↗. If you want to make a major split like that, first you tag the article with split tags, start a discussion on the talk page, and wait for consensus. You didn't do any of that, so your bold edit has been reverted ↗ and the article should remain at the ''status quo ante'' ↗ until process is followed and you show there is a consensus to split the article like that. Skyerise (talk) 01:36, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Please also note that when you copy material from one article to another, you are ''required'' to attribute the source of the content in the edit summary or you are violating the license under which the original authors of the material contributed it. See Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia ↗ for details. Skyerise (talk) 01:39, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Some stroopwafels for you!
