Hello, Jinoytommanjaly, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Wein's Bridge, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Hello, Gnoeee. You have new messages at Diptanshu Das's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Curb Safe Charmer was:
The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
The comment the reviewer left was:
Unless the SMYM has been written about in its own right, in depth, by multiple reliable, independent publications you would be better off adding content about it to the main article about the church.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Syro Malabar Youth Movement and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Syro Malabar Youth Movement, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the or on the .

Hello. Your recent edit to Engineering education in India appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 10:26, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Muhandes, Actually i was drafting the page Thiagarajar Polytechnic College, Alagappanagar. I am on the way for collecting references for the article. I think this must be a notable reason for the creation of the page, that why I added to it.(The college is first aided polytechnic college in India started in 1956 sanctioned by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India.It was started by Late. Dr. Alagappa Chettiar, a great Educationalist and philanthropist) Since resources are less online i need to collect more information that. --jinoytommanjaly (talk) 10:41, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Great! I know nothing about this college, but most likely an institute established in 1956 is notable. Once the article exists, feel free to restore it to the list. --Muhandes (talk) 10:47, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Template:Kochi Metro 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 copypasted Template:Kochi Metro stations without listing the authorship. 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.

I wanted to drop in to express my gratitude for your participation in this important contest to increase articles in Indian languages. It’s been a joyful experience for me to see so many of you join this initiative. I’m writing to make it clear why it’s so important for us to succeed.
Almost one out of every five people on the planet lives in India. But there is a huge gap in coverage of Wikipedia articles in important languages across India.
This contest is a chance to show how serious we are about expanding access to knowledge across India, and the world. If we succeed at this, it will open doors for us to ensure that Wikipedia in India stays strong for years to come. I’m grateful for what you’re doing, and urge you to continue translating and writing missing articles.
Your efforts can change the future of Wikipedia in India.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kiidc logo.png. 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. Thank you.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

File permission problem with File:St Mary's Vendore.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:St Mary's Vendore.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

International Mother Language Day 2022 edit-a-thon
Dear Wikimedian,
CIS-A2K announced International Mother Language Day edit-a-thon which is going to take place on 19 & 20 February 2022. The motive of conducting this edit-a-thon is to celebrate International Mother Language Day.
This time we will celebrate the day by creating & developing articles on local Wikimedia projects, such as proofreading the content on Wikisource, items that need to be created on Wikidata [edit Labels & Descriptions], some language-related content must be uploaded on Wikimedia Commons and so on. It will be a two-days long edit-a-thon to increase content about languages or related to languages. Anyone can participate in this event and editors can add their names here.

An article you recently created, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Panchayat Sashaktikaran Puraskar, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969TT me12:03, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself.

Hello, Gnoeee. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Deen Dayal Upadhyay Panchayat Sashaktikaran Puraskar, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Ca was:
This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
The comment the reviewer left was:
The .gov sources are not independent as they are the ones hosting the awards. This Hindustan Times piece is reliable and independent, but does not really talk in-depth about the award itself.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
A2K has conducted an online activity or campaign which is an ongoing Image Description Month in India description-a-thon, a collaborative effort known as Image Description Month. This initiative aims to enhance image-related content across Wikimedia projects and is currently underway, running from October 1st to October 31st, 2023. Throughout this event, our focus remains centered on three primary areas: Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons. We have outlined several tasks, including the addition of captions to images on Wikipedia, the association of images with relevant Wikidata items, and improvements in the organization, categorization, and captions of media files on Wikimedia Commons.
To participate, please visit our dedicated event page. We encourage you to sign up on the respective meta page and generously contribute your time and expertise to make essential and impactful edits.
Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at nitesh@cis-india.org or Nitesh (CIS-A2K).
Your active participation will play a significant role in enriching Wikimedia content, making it more accessible and informative for users worldwide. Join us in this ongoing journey of improvement and collaboration. Regards MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:09, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from RemyLust on Kíla (11:54, 12 February 2024)
Hi!!
I need to change the language properly, Wikipedia only suggests me articles to correct in English, and when I change the language to Spanish, I can’t see any articles to edit, how can I do it?
My English is good, but it’s not academic English and I don’t have any confidence to fix grammar or spelling in English. I would prefer to help Wikipedia in Spanish --RemyLust (talk) 11:54, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Gnoeee, I tried publishing a page for review on architect Greg Faulkner and realizing I'm not sure I in fact put it forward for review? I guess my first question is, did I actually post something. And second, what is a typical period for review, if there is such a thing. Anyway, I'm excited to contribute, especially to architecturally oriented content. Thanks for your help. --Lunascout (talk) 19:43, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Upon reviewing your contributions, it seems that you've added the content of the article to your user namespace on Wikipedia, rather than the article namespace. To proceed with submitting it for review, you'll need to copy and move those content to the article namespace.
You can easily accomplish this by following the straightforward instructions outlined in the Wikipedia Article Wizard. Simply refer to the guidelines provided there to publish your first article through the wizard. I appreciate your enthusiasm for contributing to architecturally oriented content.
The page was nominated for deletion and got deleted based on this policy mentioned below.
Pages in userspace consisting of writings, information, discussions, or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals, where the owner has made few or no edits outside of user pages, except for plausible drafts and pages adhering to Wikipedia:User pages § What may I have in my user pages?.
I encourage you to kindly go through this page WP:U5 to know more about it and continue contributing. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out.- ❙❚❚❙❙ GnOeee ❚❙❚❙❙✉15:58, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that only your sandbox page under your userpage was deleted, not your userpage. You should still have the ability to edit and create articles on Wikipedia.
And it seems you have started 2-3 draft articles. It's a good practice to focus on one article at a time, adding content along with reliable sources before moving on to the next. This ensures that each article receives proper attention and development. Kindly go through this Help:Introduction, page for learning more about how to edit.- ❙❚❚❙❙ GnOeee ❚❙❚❙❙✉16:12, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
all I want to do is correct the errors in the Lani Ka'ahumanu wiki page that someone did. I was not born in Nova Scotia and there are other errors or info from 40 years ago that is not accurate.

You can translate each paragraph of the Arabic Wikipedia article into English manually and publish the article for review. You can use Wikipedia:Article_wizard for creating a draft article.
