In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{PD-notice}} as part of your citation. I have done so for the above article. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 20:38, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Copyright problem: Raghoji I of Nagpur[edit]
Hello DeccanFlood! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Raghoji I of Nagpur, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted material from other websites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from http://ve65.blogspot.com/2015/02/14th-february-1755-raguji-bhosale-of.html, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Wikipedia's copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are likely to lose their editing privileges.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:
- Have the author release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License (CC BY-SA 4.0) by leaving a message explaining the details at Talk:Raghoji I of Nagpur and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en
wikimedia.org". Make sure they quote the exact page name, Raghoji I of Nagpur, in their email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions. - If you hold the copyright to the work: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Raghoji I of Nagpur. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC BY-SA), version 4.0", or that the work is released into the public domain, or if you have strong reason to believe it is, leave a note at Talk:Raghoji I of Nagpur with a link to where we can find that note or your explanation of why you believe the content is free for reuse.
It may also be necessary for the text to be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries for a template of the permissions letter the copyright holder is expected to send.
Otherwise, you may rewrite this article from scratch. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Raghoji I of Nagpur saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.
Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! — Diannaa (talk) 15:17, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- The content article has been contributed to by me from the scratch by sourcing to official Indian Government-issued gazetters. This is a spam-compilation blog, and does NOT hold any legal copyright authority.
- http://ve65.blogspot.com/2015/02/14th-february-1755-raguji-bhosale-of.html
- This blog is itself copying from those same gazetteers published for the public, and you can verify them by a simple search.
- This blog author "https://www.blogger.com/profile/16569700971043615645" is a spam-bot compiler. It has even composed pornographic content. Please have the admins recheck the sources instead of tracing back by lifted lines. The original sources are Public-issue Gazetteers and not this blog.
- This is the original, Public Use Government-Issue gazetteer directly referred by me for contributing to the article-

- The blog you have improperly attributed the original content to has no copyright over this public use free matter, nor is it an original composer or a legitimate author. Please respond at the earliest and restore the wiki page to the original state.
