You're doing a great job finding references. Keep up the good work. If you need anything, I am always here to help. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:01, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for editing the Satyamev Jayate article! We edit articles daily with many new editors and discuss it on this FB page. Do join if you feel like. Thanks :) Noopur28 (talk) 07:32, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Peppermint, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. You appear to have added a blank URL as a source, and have stated what looks like they might be controversial health benefits as facts. Firstly, you'd need an actual source, and then if you can find a suitably reliable one, you would probably need to write it as "It is claimed that..." (depending on what the source actually says). -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:13, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Thnaks for pointing this out. I have inserted the link alongwith the information now.BrightStarSky (talk) 09:10, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
I've reverted your recent addition to light as it contained a direct copy of material on this website as well as either too close paraphrasing or copyvio of content from other websites. I see that you have been warned of this above, if you continue to add copyvio material to articles you may be blocked from editing. Vsmith (talk) 14:24, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Apologies for the error. Will make a note of this BrightStarSky (talk) 09:10, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Someone removed edit(s) you made here. Some or all of the content appears to be copy and pasted from here.
We have warned you about this before, and you are continuing. I spend ages reverting lots of your copy pastes. This is really the last warning I will give you. If you persist, you may be blocked from editing. I don't want to see that happen because you otherwise make good edits. So, again, to be clear: you cannot copy paste content from websites into articles.
For further information, please read Wikipedia:Copyright violations. If you have questions, please ask. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:48, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Looking at your recent edits, I see plenty more since the first warning. Please, before you do anything else, go back and remove all the copy pastes. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:00, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello - I was sorry to revert your work. Your change highlights the fact that the article currently seems to have nothing at all on the overall topic of seismic activity (illustration) in Italy. Cheers, —MistyMorn (talk) 08:11, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
No worries.But how about introducing a new paragraph on earthquakes in the same article, as its the second earthquake in 10 days in Italy.Cheers.BrightStarSky

You've been notified multiple times about our policies and guidelines for sources, yet are still creating blatant problems like using a press release to add highly promotional information to an article[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. I'm afraid that continued editing like this will lead to your account being blocked. --Ronz (talk) 16:11, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
Ronz,now I realise I have been updating info in the articles based on Press release. I was not aware that using them causes complications.But now I ll be very careful about the above mentioned topics.Thank you so much.I would take care and this won't happen again.Cheers.
Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

This is by no means the first time that you have copy/pasted from a source. If you persist in this type of behaviour then you will find yourself blocked from contributing. We simply cannot allow people to break the law in this manner. Sitush (talk) 13:11, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
I agree. You should consider this your last warning. One more time and I will seek to have you blocked. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:19, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Comment: Actually, this is quite simple. BrightStarSky, you make good edits and we need you. You find facts and add them with a reference. That's a really, really good thing. We need more people who do that. The only single problem I see is copy pasting, and occasionally too close paraphrasing. If you just write in your own words from the source, you will be just fine. This is a pretty simple problem to fix. Easy. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:43, 23 June 2012 (UTC) Got it. Thanks! BrightStarSky
I see you're still having problems with your editing. Would you consider getting a mentor to help? Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user describes probably the easiest way to get a mentor to help guide and advise you with your editing. --Ronz (talk) 15:42, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Kahaani, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Dani Pedrosa, makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please cite the entire title of such news articles, rather than making your own up. Also use all available parameters of the citation template. Thank you. Craig(talk) 15:50, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Dear Author/BrightStarSky
My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address recently edited an article on Insulin. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance. Hydra Rain (talk) 13:03, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
Please can you stop distilling your reading of the day's newspapers into umpteen articles. Just because something appears in a newspaper does not mean that it is encyclopedic. - Sitush (talk) 10:31, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
Point taken. Thank you. BrightStarSky.
I'm in the process of cleaning up spamming of hoparoundindia.com. I noticed that you've used it as a source in Nalanda. Do you believe hoparoundindia.com meets WP:RS criteria? If so, how? --Ronz (talk) 20:46, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
Ronz, please go ahead with that.I might have made an error, as I had not gone through the tutorial by them so might have used it.Thanks. BrightStarSky

Hey, seen your edits and how you keep all current event articles updated. Great job, buddy :) I was also wondering if you would be interested in helping newbies out. Let me know. Noopur28 (talk) 07:02, 7 August 2012 (UTC) Thank you.I made loads of mistakes initially and learnt from them.I would be happy to help anyone in need.
Hi, I noticed your recent additions on Shapoorji Pallonji Group and HLL Lifecare Limited, where you added content and a reference. While this is good, the language you used is not very neutral. The language used sounds very much like an advertisement/press release and should be avoided. Other than that, nothing else. Happy Editing, Cheers, --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:42, 8 August 2012 (UTC) Mate,I will be careful.Thanks.

I understand that I have been blocked for copyright violation. No such violation shall recur and I will contribute positively to Wiki.
Yeah I would recheck my edits and make amendments.But I honestly believe that my edits are not simply copy paste. I have used my own language.I have been getting positive feedback from many other Wikipedians for my work, so you can understand my intention is to do good work and enhance my knowledge as well.Nevertheless I ll recheck to ensure no violation persists.kindly unblock my ID so that I can contribute to Wikipedia.BrightStarSky (talk) 16:22, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Below is the first item from section "Copyright violations, again". Do you see how you saying "I have used my own language" and "I honestly believe that my edits are not simply copy paste" is just not true? Can you see how this is in fact copy paste?
On 12 August 2012, BJP leader L K Advani, pitched for holding simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and State assemblies which should have a "fixed tenure" and sought the President's initiative in this regard, saying frequent polls affect decision-making process.

Please rewrite in your own words here, and we will see how it looks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:41, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Oh dear. Okay. Well, maybe that was a hard one. Let's try the second one:
"On 13 August 2012, CBI will most likely file a charge sheet against Prasad and others in a case that is threatening to turn as big as the one Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy is facing for acquiring assets as a quid pro quo."
"The CBI will most likely file charge sheet on Monday against venture capitalist Nimmagadda Prasad and others in a case that is threatening to turn as big as the one Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy is facing for acquiring assets as a quid pro quo." (source: http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/article3757008.ece)
Please rewrite in your own words here, and we will see how it looks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:59, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
By the way, we haven't even touched on the nature of your edits. As Sitush mentioned above, many are sort of news updates, and may not be considered encyclopedic. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:07, 12 August 2012 (UTC) This can be re-written as "CBI is to file a charge sheet on disproportionate assets against Prasad and others and the case may prove to be as serious as the one going on against Y.S. Jagaohan Reddy." BrightStarSky (talk) 03:38, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Right, the article may be removed.BrightStarSky (talk) 06:48, 13 August 2012 (UTC) Dear Sitush, due precaution will be taken in selection of articles and their presentation in edits. ThanksBrightStarSky (talk) 06:56, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

BrightStarSky (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I acknowledge that I have copy pasted content from some sources and agree that it was wrong. I promise never to do it again. If unblocked, I will under the supervision of Anna Frodesiak, begin editing by first removing all the copy pasted from my work of past two months. Once I have completed this exercise satisfactorily then with permission, I may be allowed to start on the usual editing process.
Accept reason:
I will unblock you but you must comply with Anna's guidance. You can do nothing except clean up the information you have copy and pasted. Once Anna is satisfied with your performance she may allow you to do other things. If Anna determines you are not complying with your promise to cleanup your work, you will be reblocked with out notice. GB fan 05:09, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
BrightStarSky (talk) 03:55, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
I see that you have been conditionally unblocked. I believe this to be a fair compromise and that you have good intentions. I'll try to help Anna in keeping an eye on the clean-up operation. - Sitush (talk) 08:55, 15 August 2012 (UTC) Thank you.BrightStarSky (talk) 03:29, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Please remove the copyright violations. In other words, simply delete what you added. Please do not add new content or reword existing copyright violation content. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:02, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
It is impossible for me to check every edit you make, and so far, 2 out of 6 have been rewording to something the source does not really say. Considering the issue that many of these edits may be basically news updates, and not very encyclopedic, I think it's best to simply remove the offending content entirely. This is also faster for you. Please just go to your contributions for the past 2 months and remove any copy paste, simple as that. Get it done as fast and efficiently as you can, and then you can move forward contributing in a less problematic area. Thank you. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:41, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
The fastest way to do this is to check the diffs and copy the content you added to a Google search box. If you see the bulk of it match a newspaper article exactly, then please just remove that whole edit from the article. Please don't just rephrase it. Remove it entirely.
Actually, I guess it's only about 10% of your edits that have this problem, so it will take some time, but probably hours and not days. Thanks for your efforts. I know you are acting in good faith and this is difficult, but please stick with it. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:50, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Anna, I have started working on it. Please advise me if I m going wrong.Thanks for your help.BrightStarSky (talk) 14:06, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Anna, I have revisited and removed the copy vios from all the edits done 1st July onwards. Please let me know if you come across any copy vios other than that. I will promptly remove the same.

Hello. You have a new message at Anna Frodesiak's talk page. 05:41, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
In case you didn't know, spaces are normally used with punctuation marks.
Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
I have asked Sitush to offer advice. So, this is a good place to discuss options.
There are lots and lots of things that Wikipedia needs, and are rewarding. A good place to start would be asking you what you are interested in.
Looking at the past, I'm not sure that going back to what you were doing before would be a good idea. Persistent copy vio issues aside, there was also the nature of the content itself. Much of it seemed to be "news", and so perhaps not quite suitable for an encyclopedia. Another issue was interpretation of the source. As pointed out in the "Review" section above: "...warned of a revolution..." is not the same as "...threatened to start a "big revolution"...", and another example: "...the Samajwadi Party accused the Congress on playing politics on the issue of Muslim reservation..." is not the same as "... the Samajwadi Party accused the Congress of not being serious on the issue of reservation for muslims..."
One suggestion of something you might like is finding sources for existing content. There are lots of ((citation needed)) templates attached to content. This means that somebody is needed to dig up a good reference to support the claim, and then remove the template. Does this sound like something you would like? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:49, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
