[edit]
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.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Maloji Bhosale, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It appears to be a test page. (See section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do, and take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
- It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
- It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Tóth Péter Bence (talk) 20:21, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
Status and Advice
[edit]Don't worry about it. As reviewing administrator, I can tell you that the article is a satisfactory beginning. The extremely inexperienced editor who placed the deletion tags very obviously did not know what he was doing, and I will instruct him.
However, the article needs some addition information. It would help to have approximate dates of birth and death, and some more detailed information about his career. It would also help to have more than one references.
Please do continue to contribute here. You are very welcome to ask on my talk page for all the help you may need, and I am sorry you had such an rough beginning. It shouldn't have happened, and is not typical here, DGG ( talk ) 23:27, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
Jyotiraditya Madhavrao Scindia
[edit]I have reverted you at Jyotiraditya Madhavrao Scindia. Two of your sources were identical except for one paragraph, while the third was a generic Google search result. Your key point seemed to be to verify that Maharajah exists as a courtesy title for the article subject. Since India is a republic and all the princely stuff went out long ago, you'll need to find a source that specifically says he holds this title as a courtesy. Based on past discussions, including at WT:INB in recent months, I think that is an unlikely prospect. There is a world of difference between an officially-recognised courtesy title and the slavish adulation that throwbacks from within his Maratha clan try to resurrect in order to bask in their perception of reflected glory.
I suggest that you open a discussion on the article talk page if you wish to pursue this further, although it probably would be worth your while digging through some talk page archives first in order not to reinvent the wheel. - Sitush (talk) 17:23, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:Darbar of Raja of Dhar - Udaji Rao Pawar II.jpg)
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Darbar of Raja of Dhar - Udaji Rao Pawar II.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:25, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Poor edits
[edit]If you continue your dreadfully poor edits, among the most recent of many being those to Kayastha and Company rule in India, then I'll be seeking the opinion of administrators with regard to your disruptive behaviour. You are working fast, hard ... and wrongly. Please slow down and think. - Sitush (talk) 21:13, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
Please don't add honorifics to articles
[edit]Greetings, it is unnecessary to add "Shri", "Chhatrapati", "HH" to the names of figures in articles. Where appropriate, we discuss their titles, but we do not refer to people by such honorifics in-line. The exception for "Shri" and similar is where Shri has become part of the figure's WP:Common name even outside their own circles (in some rare cases of gurus, etc), but otherwise generally no.

Incorrect marking of edits
[edit]Please do not routinely use the "minor edit" checkbox unless your efforts are indeed minor. This contribution, for example, was far from being a trivial change. - Sitush (talk) 15:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for October 30
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maratha, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
