Thank you, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:10, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Your recent edits

I have removed edit(s) you made here. Some or all of the content appears to be copy and pasted from here. Please remember, you must write in your own words. We cannot copy and paste from other websites. Please provide the sources and restore the content which I removed, ensuring that it is written in your own words.

For further information, please read Misplaced Pages:Copyright violations. If you have questions, please ask. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:15, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Please, please, please stop and go back and remove all of the copy paste you have added. It is very, very, very important that you do so. Thank you. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:18, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Great job!

You're doing a great job finding references. Keep up the good work. If you need anything, I am always here to help. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:01, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

May 2012

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Chakra do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Misplaced Pages is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Misplaced Pages uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — Jeraphine Gryphon  09:00, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Harmandir Sahib, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Misplaced Pages:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Gsingh (talk) 21:23, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. In your recent edit to Buddhahood, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Misplaced Pages's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. Gsingh (talk) 21:28, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Internal links

Hello. I wanted to let you know that there's no reason to pipe a link for reasons of capitalization. For instance, linking the word "combustion" to its associated article requires only entering ]—not ]. For detailed guidance on how Misplaced Pages links work, take a look at this page in the Manual of Style. Thanks for your help. Rivertorch (talk) 04:54, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Mukesh Ambani. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. NeilN 13:15, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the reference. --NeilN 13:25, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. I am new to Misplaced Pages editing. As you noticed, I have now added the source(BrightStarSky (talk) 13:30, 9 May 2012 (UTC)).

Thanks for editing Satyamev Jayate!

Hey, thanks for editing the Satyamev Jayate article! We edit articles daily with many new editors and discuss it on this FB page. Do join if you feel like. Thanks :) Noopur28 (talk) 07:32, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Peppermint, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Misplaced Pages:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. You appear to have added a blank URL as a source, and have stated what looks like they might be controversial health benefits as facts. Firstly, you'd need an actual source, and then if you can find a suitably reliable one, you would probably need to write it as "It is claimed that..." (depending on what the source actually says). -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:13, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Thnaks for pointing this out. I have inserted the link alongwith the information now.BrightStarSky (talk) 09:10, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Your recent addition to Light

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Misplaced Pages without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

I've reverted your recent addition to light as it contained a direct copy of material on this website as well as either too close paraphrasing or copyvio of content from other websites. I see that you have been warned of this above, if you continue to add copyvio material to articles you may be blocked from editing. Vsmith (talk) 14:24, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Apologies for the error. Will make a note of this BrightStarSky (talk) 09:10, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Someone removed edit(s) you made here. Some or all of the content appears to be copy and pasted from here.

We have warned you about this before, and you are continuing. I spend ages reverting lots of your copy pastes. This is really the last warning I will give you. If you persist, you may be blocked from editing. I don't want to see that happen because you otherwise make good edits. So, again, to be clear: you cannot copy paste content from websites into articles.

For further information, please read Misplaced Pages:Copyright violations. If you have questions, please ask. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:48, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Whoa!

Looking at your recent edits, I see plenty more since the first warning. Please, before you do anything else, go back and remove all the copy pastes. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:00, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

I will remove the copyrighted stuff now.BrightStarSky (talk) 10:07, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Okay. I removed most. You can do the rest. Cheers. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:21, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

References

Please use high quality references per WP:MEDRS. NICE has not yet recommended botox. They do have a draft proposal as outlined here http://www.nice.org.uk/newsroom/pressreleases/DraftGuidanceRecommendsBotoxForPreventingHeadachesInAdultsWhoHaveChronicMigraine.jsp Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:34, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm also concerned about the choice of references you've been adding to verify scientific and medical information. I see that other editors have been removing some of them. Could you discuss them here, on the article talk pages, or at WP:RSN? I'll follow up when I have more time to look at the sources. --Ronz (talk) 07:15, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey Ronz, Just wanted to check if we treat www.emedtv.com as a reliable source.Thanks. (BrightStarSky (talk) 09:52, 26 May 2012 (UTC))

Thanks for responding. My impression is that emedtv.com should not be used for medical/scientific information, but might be used in other situations. It is one of the references which I want to examine in more detail. --Ronz (talk) 16:25, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes we typically use review articles or major textbooks (which can be found via google). Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:59, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Italian earthquakes

Hello - I was sorry to revert your work. Your change highlights the fact that the article currently seems to have nothing at all on the overall topic of seismic activity (illustration) in Italy. Cheers, —MistyMorn (talk) 08:11, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

No worries.But how about introducing a new paragraph on earthquakes in the same article, as its the second earthquake in 10 days in Italy.Cheers.BrightStarSky

Yes, the page really does need some more general encyclopedic information on seismic and volcano activity in Italy, but I'm not really the right person for the job. You might like to take a glance at the List of earthquakes in Italy (I've just added this external link), as well as the dedicated 2012 Emilia earthquakes article. —MistyMorn (talk) 08:56, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

OK. Thanks.BrightStarSky

Collagen, elastin in apples?

There is no collagen or elastin in apples. Just look at the[REDACTED] articles about collagen and elastin.HowardJWilk (talk) 20:27, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

BBC history pages

Please don't use these as references. Some come from our website, and none of them are clearly reliable sources by our criteria. There's nothing there that we can't find academic sources to use instead. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 11:52, 6 June 2012 (UTC) OK. Thanks for the info.BrightStarSky

June 2012

Your addition to Air India has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Misplaced Pages without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Misplaced Pages. For legal reasons, Misplaced Pages cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted.

Also go through WP:PARAPHRASE. Thanks, — Abhishek  14:40, 6 June 2012 (UTC).

I believe I wrote stuff in my own words nevertheless I ll be careful next time.Thanks.BrightStarSky.

references

Please read WP:MEDRS and use ideal references such as review articles. Note review articles are NOT the same as peer reviewed articles. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:19, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

You've been notified multiple times about our policies and guidelines for sources, yet are still creating blatant problems like using a press release to add highly promotional information to an article . I'm afraid that continued editing like this will lead to your account being blocked. --Ronz (talk) 16:11, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Ronz, I apologise for it and will be careful in future. Thanks. BrightStarSky

Thanks. My concern at this point is that you simply don't understand why these edits are problematic, so you keep repeating them again and again.

Do you understand what a press release is? Do you understand why they are usually not an appropriate source, and when used need to be done with care and with other sources to avoid bias? Can you identify press releases when you see them? --Ronz (talk) 16:39, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

A couple of suggestions: Until you're more familiar with identify different types of sources and determining which are appropriate per Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines, avoid adding medical or scientific information to avoid MEDRS problems, and avoid business information such as product announcements, price changes, business partnerships, and generally any announcement that isn't clearly being covered by independent media. --Ronz (talk) 16:50, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Ronz,now I realise I have been updating info in the articles based on Press release. I was not aware that using them causes complications.But now I ll be very careful about the above mentioned topics.Thank you so much.I would take care and this won't happen again.Cheers.

It's an easy mistake to make. Let me know if I can help. --Ronz (talk) 16:59, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Help Survey

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Misplaced Pages's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,

Your addition to Akhilesh Yadav has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Misplaced Pages without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Misplaced Pages. For legal reasons, Misplaced Pages cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

This is by no means the first time that you have copy/pasted from a source. If you persist in this type of behaviour then you will find yourself blocked from contributing. We simply cannot allow people to break the law in this manner. Sitush (talk) 13:11, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

I agree. You should consider this your last warning. One more time and I will seek to have you blocked. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:19, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Sitush and Anna, I apologise.This was not done deliberately. Nevertheless thank you for pointing out the error.BrightStarSky

I'm not sure I understand. How could it have been done accidentally? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:39, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Comment: Actually, this is quite simple. BrightStarSky, you make good edits and we need you. You find facts and add them with a reference. That's a really, really good thing. We need more people who do that. The only single problem I see is copy pasting, and occasionally too close paraphrasing. If you just write in your own words from the source, you will be just fine. This is a pretty simple problem to fix. Easy. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:43, 23 June 2012 (UTC) Got it. Thanks! BrightStarSky

Mentorship?

I see you're still having problems with your editing. Would you consider getting a mentor to help? Misplaced Pages:Adopt-a-user describes probably the easiest way to get a mentor to help guide and advise you with your editing. --Ronz (talk) 15:42, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you Ronz.I would like to get a mentor.Can you please advise me how can I go about it.

Just follow the link. The quickest way is to go through the list of available mentors, and then contact a few that you would be interested in working with. --Ronz (talk) 02:13, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Ronz, Thanks a ton. You have been of great help.BrightStarSky

disambigution needed of Zamana

There is a film named Zamana (1985) but right now if we search for zamana in wiki, we are directed to http://en.wikipedia.org/Zamana which is about the person Cezary Zamana. So disamiguition page needs to be created for Zamana.Onceshook1 (talk) 10:46, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

July 2012

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Dani Pedrosa, makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please cite the entire title of such news articles, rather than making your own up. Also use all available parameters of the citation template. Thank you. Craig(talk) 15:50, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Misplaced Pages pages

Dear Author/BrightStarSky

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Misplaced Pages pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Misplaced Pages pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Misplaced Pages and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address recently edited an article on Insulin. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance. Hydra Rain (talk) 13:03, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

News stories

Please can you stop distilling your reading of the day's newspapers into umpteen articles. Just because something appears in a newspaper does not mean that it is encyclopedic. - Sitush (talk) 10:31, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

And even when it is encyclopedic, as with some of your recent contributions at Anna Hazare, you need to be aware of WP:CRYSTAL and of the pitfalls to be found when reporting rumours etc in biographies of living people - basically, be safe and don't do it. - Sitush (talk) 10:39, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Point taken. Thank you. BrightStarSky.

hoparoundindia.com as a source

I'm in the process of cleaning up spamming of hoparoundindia.com. I noticed that you've used it as a source in Nalanda. Do you believe hoparoundindia.com meets WP:RS criteria? If so, how? --Ronz (talk) 20:46, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Given it happened back in May, I'm going ahead and removing it. --Ronz (talk) 01:51, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Ronz, please go ahead with that.I might have made an error, as I had not gone through the tutorial by them so might have used it.Thanks. BrightStarSky

Your recent additions

Hi, I noticed your recent additions on Shapoorji Pallonji Group and HLL Lifecare Limited, where you added content and a reference. While this is good, the language you used is not very neutral. The language used sounds very much like an advertisement/press release and should be avoided. Other than that, nothing else. Happy Editing, Cheers, --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:42, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
