This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of :Vembadi Girls’ High School ↗, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://vembadi.org.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain ↗ or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

Images

Hello Shankar2001. First of all welcome to Wikipedia. I notice you have uploaded a number of images to Wikipedia. Please consider adding the images to Wikimedia Commons ↗, Wikipedia's sister site which stores ''free'' media. Here ↗ are some other Jaffna related images from Wikimedia Commons. There is a shortage of images from the Jaffna region. If you have other images please consider adding them to Wikimedia Commons as well. Please contact me if you have any problems. Thanks.--<b><span style="color:red; font-family:fantasy;">obi2canibe</span><sup>talk ↗ contr ↗</sup></b> 13:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

The next step would be dispute resolution ↗, rather than a posting at ANI. Gwen Gale (talk) 10:59, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks, I like to take this for dispute resolution.Shankar2001 (talk) 11:01, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

::As you'll see if you read that page, the first step is to stay calm and peacefully try to talk about it with other editors, the IP being among them. Also keep in mind, IPs are allowed to edit Wikipedia. Gwen Gale (talk) 11:06, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Shankar, I feel you are too emotionally involved and that your reverts of the IP edits warrant admin intervention. This I reported your recent edits on 3RR ↗ Chartinael (talk) 11:29, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

:::Yes, that would be fine, you use 3RR and report, once my account is blocked, you come and revert the your content with another anon IP address. Great Job!Shankar2001 (talk) 11:35, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

:::: Stop whining, no one says you are going to get blocked. I still have hope that addressing you will cause you to re-evaluate your interaction with other editors. BTW, I don't edit WP anonymously. It is really not good practice to question another editor's identity. Chartinael (talk) 11:40, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
::::I am not eager of finding your real identity, but moving around too many anons and accounts at the same time to push something. Shankar2001 (talk) 11:45, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
::::: Listen Shankar, the edits are fine. You are way too involved. This is why you are unable to see that the edits are not as bad as you view them. You then go to accusing others of using several identities to push the edits you don't like instead of reconsidering them and maybe coming to the conclusion that they might not be what you think they are.

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at :Singapore Tamils ↗. Your edits appear to be disruptive ↗ and have been undone.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute ↗ with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus ↗ with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution ↗ page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards ↗.

If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents ↗.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges ↗. Thank you. Lemongirl942 (talk) 01:36, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Skandavarodaya College Logo.jpeg

64px|left|alt=|link= ↗
Thanks for uploading or contributing to ''':File:Skandavarodaya College Logo.jpeg ↗'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria ↗, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page ↗, and edit it to include a non-free rationale ↗.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions ↗" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion ↗ and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗.

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Professional Mourners ↗

A tag has been placed on :Professional Mourners ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement ↗. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://rajivawijesinha.wordpress.com/2010/10/23/introduction-to-readings-from-bridging-connections-at-the-dsc-south-asian-literature-festival-october-19th-2010/<nowiki> </nowiki>and https://www.bartleby.com/essay/Spam-Professional-Moourners-By-Alagu-Subramaniam-FJJSPZUMKU. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials ↗. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission ↗ for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy ↗ for more details, or ask a question here ↗.

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 "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 deleted 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 ↗.

A tag has been placed on :The Big Girl & Other Stories ↗, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

35px|text-top|left|⚠|link= ↗ Thanks for uploading ''':File:The Big Girl & Other Stories.jpeg ↗'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use ↗. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media ↗).

Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:15, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
