Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless used with permission. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:

If you still have questions, there is the teahouse, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! — Diannaa (talk) 13:22, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, 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 Point Guard, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please don't remove standardized templates like {{height}} Your change introduced "ft." (with a period), but the unit should not have a period. —Bagumba (talk) 12:29, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to WHMB-TV, did not appear constructive and has 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. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 05:25, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at AOA (group). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

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 noticeboards.
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. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please get yourself familarize with the template uses first, {{korean}} is a standard template and should be used instead of manually wikilink. In addition, you also removed several references without providing a valid reason in doing so and furthermore your edit is not Grammar edit at all but removing reliable sources. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 04:34, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ashna Arora. Please read WP:UPE. Does this apply to your edits on this article? If so, please follow the instructions on that page. Please let me know if I can assist you with this, or anything else to do with the English language Wikipedia. Peter in Australia aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:12, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Grant kelley

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Grant kelley 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://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20190814/pdf/447gh9hpmr7kyt.pdf. 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.

April 2021

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, 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 noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Brahinka, you may be blocked from editing. I see that you were already asked not to remove language templates – please read Paper9oll's note above. bonadea contributions talk 11:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page USNS Hayes (T-AGOR-16) has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Removing a reference is not a "grammar edit". bonadea contributions talk 11:57, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Another important thing: please do not make unnecessary or incorrect changes of spelling and grammar to American English variants, like you did in articles such as St James' Church, Islington and Wryneck. Have a look at this information. Thanks, --bonadea contributions talk 12:06, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are still doing this. In NSW Business Chamber, an article about an Australian organisation, you made multiple changes of grammar and spelling from Australian English to American English. After a couple of warnings, you are still removing sources with the edit summary "grammar edit", such as here. You have also made a very large number of "grammar changes" that either added grammar errors to a sentence that was correct before your edit (for instance here), or else changed the phrasing from one correct version to another correct version. For instance, you are consistently changing the expression "several" to "a number of", which is sometimes equivalent (no better, no worse) and sometimes incorrect. The two expressions do not always mean exactly the same thing.

Please stop making these kinds of changes. It looks like you might be using some kind of grammar checker, like Grammarly. If that's what you are doing, please be aware that Grammarly's suggestions are often incorrect because it can't read the context, so you have to understand exactly what the problem is with each thing it flags as a possible error. (For instance, it will mark grammar and spelling that is correct in one English variety as incorrect, if its preferences are set to another variety.) Unless you do understand why a grammar tool suggests a change, please don't make that change. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 07:01, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

bonadea Thank You for your feedback. I am still learning how to make edits on Wikipedia. I have understood my mistake and will not repeat this. I will only make quality edits. Thank You for guiding me.--Ashna Arora (talk) 18:00, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, you have continued to make the same kind of disruptive changes after you promised to stop, for instance here and here. Please stop making grammar edits. You are acting in good faith, I'm sure, but you do create extra work for other editors. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 19:34, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sisraka, Uttar Pradesh moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sisraka, Uttar Pradesh, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) 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.

July 2021

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Mugdha Chaphekar, you may be blocked from editing. =- Arjayay (talk) 11:11, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Battle of Rhone Crossing. - Arjayay (talk) 11:12, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Roy Ankrah, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - Arjayay (talk) 11:15, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You probably haven't worked out what you're doing wrong. Your grammatical changes are fine, but you're messing up references. References have to be structured properly using the <ref> thing that is most easily created using the cite tool. They cannot, ever, be replaced by drawing superscripts with <sup> as this merely makes something that looks like a reference, without making the corresponding text describing what is referred to, at the bottom of the page. So please, please do not take out references that people have filled in correctly, and replace them with meaningless superscript [1]s. Elemimele (talk) 11:22, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for Vandalism. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding {{unblock|your reason here}} below this notice. Materialscientist (talk) 11:32, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request to Unblock

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Ashna Arora (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Hi User:Arjayay, User:Elemimele, User:Materialscientist. I was copy editing the pages that I found on the community portal. I was doing these edits offline and in the process of copy-pasting, I lost the link of citations and <ref> tag got replaced with the <sup> tag. I received a warning for Vandalism on my talk page. I was trying to trace back my edits on mentioned pages and by the time User:Elemimele give me the exact reason, my account got blocked. I have been editing for over five months now (21st February 2021) and have not been involved in this type of disruptive activity before. This was the first time this happened and it was an unintentional mistake. I have realized my mistake and promise to double-check my edits before publishing to avoid this in the future. I request you to unblock me. --Ashna Arora (talk) 14:50, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your explanation does not explain why this happened on multiple articles or why you replaced entire references with numbers. I am declining your request. PhilKnight (talk) 17:01, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request to Unblock

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Ashna Arora (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Hi Arjayay, Elemimele, Materialscientist, PhilKnight . I was copy editing the pages that I found on the community portal. I copy-pasted the entire article and was doing these edits offline on a word document and in the process of copy-pasting, I lost the link embedded in the reference. When I pasted the edited content back on Wikipedia, the reference numbers were not coming in superscript. To fix this, I used the superscript option so that the references would have their usual look and feel. The mistake I made here is that I missed checking if the references included links. In this entire process <ref> tag got replaced with the ^tag. I received a warning for Vandalism on my talk page. I was trying to understand vandalism and trackback my edits on mentioned pages and by the time User:Elemimele gave me the exact reason, my account got blocked. I have been editing for over five months now (21st February 2021) and have not been involved in this type of disruptive activity before. I just failed to notice that this edit has removed the citations, I had no disruptive intentions. This was the first time this happened and it was an unintentional mistake. It happened on more than one article because I copy-pasted them offline. I was honestly not trying to mess up the references. I have realized my mistake and promise to double-check my edits before publishing to avoid this in the future. I request you to unblock me. Please grant me a second chance. --Ashna Arora (talk) 17:14, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Granted. Good luck with editing. Materialscientist (talk) 06:32, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You Materialscientist --Ashna Arora (talk) 14:19, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

non-admin comment on blocking

Hi @Ashna Arora: I'm sorry, I'm not an admin so I can't help with this one. I merely added a message to your Talk Page during the editing problem because I thought it likely that even if you'd seen the warnings for vandalism, you might not have realised what they were about, or what you were doing wrong. I'm sorry. Elemimele (talk) 18:33, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You Elemimele. Your explanation really helped me to identify my mistake. --Ashna Arora (talk) 14:21, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stop making grammar edits

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Bajrang Dal, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

You have only made one edit since you were unblocked, and that was this edit, which a) added a grammar error to a sentence that was fine before, and b) made a change that was against WP:ENGVAR. If you start editing Wikipedia again, you have to stop doing "grammar edits". I think Elemimele hadn't looked very closely at your recent edits when they said "Your grammatical changes are fine", because while some of your grammar changes were OK, many of them were not. Using grammar tools without understanding each and every suggested change is problematic, and continuing to do it after multiple requests to stop is disruptive. It creates a lot of work for other editors. You have had detailed feedback about that before. bonadea contributions talk 11:28, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Sisraka, Uttar Pradesh
