Copyright violations
editHi. I notice you have now "created" tree articles, all of them being copy-pasted from http://www.royalark.net/India4/delhi21.htm, and that your contribution to Muhammad Khair ud-din Mirza, Khurshid Jah Bahadur was copied directly from the same site. This is not how we work. Please take this opportunity to stop and read Wikipedia:Copyright violations. Sam Sing! 22:33, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- This is all about history, i love to explore and just adding in the wikipedia in correct manner so that most of the people can read easily and explore connecting articles. I invite english native speakers to reword the articles. This is important part of mughal dynasty.

- That's great, and I hope you will enjoy to be here, but the correct manner is not to copy-paste from copyrighted sources. Please give the points in the following a good read.
- Hello Virtualmatrix333, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Muhammad Khair ud-din Mirza, Khurshid Jah Bahadur has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without 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 a cited source. 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. Sam Sing! 23:02, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- I found that "Wikipedia articles must be written in the author's own words", if I can not do it does not mean that the information is incorrect and not structured and connected. This is the point which I can not manage. If you or someone else can rephrase than well and good otherwise my efforts will be wasted. Thanks Virtualmatrix333 (talk) 23:15, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, being copied from another website isn't the only problem with the articles you created, and they have now been deleted. The problem is being a descendant of the last Mughal Emperor isn't enough for someone to have their own article. Please read WP:NOTINHERITED and this might become clearer for you. You need to find sources (eg newspaper articles or books) which discuss what these people did in their lives to make them notable. DeCausa (talk) 12:25, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- See the list of resources here http://www.royalark.net/India4/delhi.htm. This is all research based stuff. After providing you the sources and wasting my efforts I expect you to restore all the articles, you can rephrase. This information is important and Mughal is a popular topic in subcontinent, people here are searching for who were chief representatives after last mughal emperor. Mughal family was more powerful than today's Royal british family, hope you understand now. Thanks Virtualmatrix333 (talk) 15:52, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- No, I don't think you understand. http://www.royalark.net/India4/delhi.htm isn't good enough as a source for Wikipedia because it isn't published by a recognised independent publisher which checks facts. Please read WP:RS before going any further. Also, the Mughal emperors were powerful but their descendants are not. Wikipedia has policies on whether a subject is notable enough to have an article about it. Just being a descendant of notable historical figures isn't good enough. Please read WP:NOTINHERITED befor commenting again. Finally, I didn't delete your articles - it is not up to me whether they are deleted or restored. DeCausa (talk) 16:45, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- Decausa, http://www.royalark.net/India4/delhi.htm is not a source but this page contains the list of sources and references used, please be attentive. All of the mentioned descendants were not ordinary but recognized by the Government of India (under British rule) as Chief representatives, this is now part of history. How these articles can be restored to save my hours. Thanks Virtualmatrix333 (talk) 01:22, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
