Third warning — Diannaa (talk) 14:27, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello! Diannaa (talk) The website you have linked has actually copied the text in its entirety from the Hindu Newspaper Article (the one I have cited: https://web.archive.org/web/20031206191220/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2003/09/26/stories/2003092601940800.htm). The information available on the architectural site is scarce [I know that from a research project during my college days which included a site visit. It is just one small Architectural Society of India's information plaque]. The Hindu article (also the blog you shared) has taken a spiritual approach to describe the temple, whereas I relied on the architectural characteristics. I had to repeat the facts, but I have elaborated the architectural terms that the blogpost you shared and the Hindu article has missed out on. I am aware that content resembles the other Wikipedia page. So, this time I took special attention to rewriting in a manner that brought the focus to architectural characteristics while retaining the core fact. If you disagree, please go ahead and delete it.Wiki6995 (talk) 15:16, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

If you are running through the plagiarism software, please be aware that a lot of the words in the section you are talking about are names relevant to the place. Wiki6995 (talk) 18:34, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

August 2022

Hello, I'm CorbieVreccan. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Template:LGBT, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. There are sources in the linked article, but they could be better. The Unicorn has clearly become a symbol, but needs better sourcing in the linked articles to be worth adding to the template with the well-established ones. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 19:55, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Close paraphrasing

Hi Wiki6995.

An important note on your article Arun Kumar v. Inspector General of Registration (2019). Much of the text is currently too closely taken from the source [1]. Compare:

Source: The word ‘bride’ encompasses within meaning a transwoman if she perceives herself as a woman. Hence, a marriage solemnized between Hindu male and a Hindu transwoman is substantial Hindu Marriage according to Section 5 of Hindu Marriage Act.

Article: The Court held that word ‘bride’ in the Section 5 of Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 encompasses transwoman if she perceives herself as a woman. Therefore, the marriage ceremony between Hindu male and a Hindu transwoman would be considered a Hindu Marriage.

Unfortunately, taking a source and slightly rearranging it is considered close paraphrasing. WP:Close paraphrasing may have some more information, but please try hard to restate things in your own words. Here's a tip: Read the source in full, then go to the article and type what you learned. Ovinus (talk) 17:39, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Noted. Thanks for the paraphrasing the article. Wiki6995 (talk) 00:03, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

No, not yet. For example,

Article: In accordance with Hindu ceremonies and customs, Arun Kumar got married to Sreeja, a transwoman. Following the ceremony, they presented a memorandum for the enlistment of marriage with the Joint Registrar of Tuticorin. The Registrar refused to register their marriage.

Source: Arun Kumar got married to Sreeja, a transwoman, on 31 October 2018 at a worship place in Tuticorin, according to Hindu ceremonies and customs. At the point when they presented a memorandum for the enlistment of marriage with the Joint Registrar of Tuticorin, the Registrar wouldn’t enrol the equivalent.

Please don't remove the close paraphrasing tags until someone else has taken a look. Thanks! Ovinus (talk) 02:02, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

February 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Supriyo v. Union Of India, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Razer(talk) 12:37, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to the article Medical views of conversion therapy. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, your own website, websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight, expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions, as one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. Sam Kuru (talk) 13:53, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

I have verified the validity of the statement by contacting Soumitra Pathare, the director of Centre for Mental Health Law & Policy. Unfortunately, they don't host any of the digital copies of positional statements. Also, note that the same blog had published all the organizations positions on conversion therapy. Each of them could be verified through the news reports or their website host the positional statement. Centre for Mental Health Law & Policy is worked with law-makers, and played role in passing many bills. However, they don't engage with the press, as a result, none of the news outlet picked up the statement issued by them. Wiki6995 (talk) 20:16, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

However, their official page posted this video when they released the statement. https://twitter.com/CMHLPIndia/status/1277907923906093057 Wiki6995 (talk) 20:19, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

The statement has been verified by the Supreme Court of India. Wiki6995 (talk) 12:42, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Like Tambaram,it would be helpful if similar work is done to improve the above article on another Corporation created by the Tamil Nadu Government. Raghavan(Talk) 16:39, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Doing it for Tambaram was already troublesome, with so many people arguing that "encyclopedia" definition does not need to follow the legal and administrative definition. Please feel free to correct it, if you have time. You can use Template:Uw-vandalism1, if you come across people who keep reverting it based on their personal opinions and feelings. Just make sure you add the relevant Sections of Act, link to the Act and the explanation in Talk page, to discourage any genuinely uninformed editors. Wiki6995 (talk) 18:53, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
