If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! —SpacemanSpiff 11:41, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Control copyright icon Hello Worldciv2017 Chalukya Empire, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Chalukya dynasty have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • 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 can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 23:54, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to Chalukya dynasty

[edit]

Hi. Please be aware this is a featured article. Any edits you make to it should start with a discussion. Also, the content has to be properly sourced. The citation should include author, publisher, year, page number, ISBN and location of publication.Jugaari cross (talk) 17:17, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is to bring to your attention that you have been indiscriminately adding info the the Badami Chalukya article without a discussion. It is also clear you don't know that a Featured article is a summary article. Please call for a discussion first before editing a FA.Pied Hornbill (talk) 22:05, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted your recent edits to this article because much of it was repeat info, such as genealogy templates. The piece on Koppesvara temple at Khedrapur was removed because it is a Seuna Yadava reconstruction (1213 AD, per Henry Cousens) over a pre-existing minor temple, although in Later Chalukya style. Let us keep this a summary article. Your earlier edits on cave temple excavations was new and interesting, so it was okay in the article. The Parvati temple is outside the architectural heartland and is a bit unique so that was okay too. User Mayasandra improved on your contributions. You may continue contributions but ensure you maintain FA standards. Thank you.Pied Hornbill (talk) 13:07, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:The Parvati Temple, located about 140 km southeast to the Badami.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:49, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
