Regarding Delhi and New Delhi[edit]

Firstly, welcome to Wikipedia. I am here to tell you that you don't know how to properly interpret sources. Delhi is a much more complex entity than you think it to be. Religion figures on article Delhi must refer to that that of the 'NCT of Delhi and not that of Delhi city (area under limits of Municipal Corporation of Delhi) because the article Delhi covers both union territory (mainly) and city (which is within that UT). Secondly, about New Delhi you need to know that article is on a city within NCT which is governed by New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC). The religion figures you added in article New Delhi were that of New Delhi district which is a small part of larger city of New Delhi. Check here and here. Both are referring to New Delhi district. But we have to provide the figures for New Delhi city which is named NDMC by your source. This city is spread across more districts (not just New Delhi district). Check here (New Delhi or NDMC is divided into many parts) and here. I think now you know that your source has named New Delhi district as New Delhi but New Delhi city as NDMC. We have to use NDMC for article New Delhi. Vibhss (talk) 01:36, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

January 2018[edit]

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Sikh. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 10:29, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Sikh diaspora, you may be blocked from editing. - Arjayay (talk) 10:31, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Sir the edits which I made were absolutely correct, go check the page “Sikh” on wikipedia itself. And these stats are also taken from the official site of census 2011. Eric1998 (talk) 00:38, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No Eric1998 your edits were not "absolutely correct" for three reasons:-

They were unsourced changes - if you change a figure, you must cite the new source for that figure
There is a clear mistake, in what you added, as explained below
Wikipedia is not a reliable source, so we cannot use the figures on the Sikh page and many claims in that article are also unsourced or unverifiable

Your additions/changes claimed that

"In India, 20.8 million, or 76% of all Indian Sikhs, live in the northern state of Punjab (India)"

This is contradicts the 2011 census here which shows that 16,004,754 Sikhs live in Punjab - the figure of 20.8 million is for all the Sikhs in India - not just those in the Punjab

You have a history of making false claims about the number of Sikhs, as here, here and here, just since the beginning of December, all of which have been reverted.

Please understand, you must include a properly formatted citation, to a reliable source, to support each and every figure that you change, or add.
If you continue to add unsourced information, or change figures from those cited in the references, you are likely to be blocked. - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 12:59, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Missing ref in Amritsar[edit]

Please see my edit Special:Diff/877755942, which I made to partially revert your edit Special:Diff/869180137. If the missing ref was necessary, feel free to restore it, but also add its contents. --CiaPan (talk) 18:18, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

October 2019[edit]

Hello, I'm Fylindfotberserk. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Ludhiana district, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

Disambiguation link notification for April 8[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Greater Mohali, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kharar. 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.)

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Eric1998! Your additions to Amritsar have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 15:00, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
