Although your edits of Lahore were made in good faith, they were made without explanation. In particular you should not have repeated your first edit, after it had been reverted, without a full explanation on the article's talk page. Repeatedly asserting your point of view without explanation is edit warring and may lead to you being blocked from editing. Please use the 'Edit summary' box to explain any future edits.

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Caution for repeated unsourced and undiscussed edits on Lahore. Thomas.W ^talk 10:27, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

foreign invasions is a tautology. All invasions are foreign. Your edits imply that the Rajput people were local invaders, which is nonsense. Perhaps you didn't notice the "and" in the heading, which separates the Rajputs and the invasions. I hope this helps you and you stop trying to force your point of view. Apuldram (talk) 10:43, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, Apuldram. From your previous comment I thought you wanted me to re-edit and explain my reasons instead of just leaving it. I was in no way trying to force my point of view (which was basically, even though the wording was wrong, a fact). SanataniWarrior (talk) 12:38, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Regarding reliable sources

• Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).

If "Wiki" appears anywhere in a sources name (even Wikipedia), it is probably not a reliable source. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:11, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

What's more, the term "Sanatana Dharma" is already being mentioned in the lead. Best regards, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 20:36, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Love Jihad

Hello, SanataniWarrior.

Unfortunately, the content you added to the article Love jihad does not seem to include a reliable source that in any way connects these interfaith marriages to the "love jihad" conspiracy allegations. Comments like "These can be passed off as coincidences, but considering the tension between Arabs and Jews in Israel, there's a debatable possibility that Love Jihad may also be happening in Israel" and "Considering that an Arab man from a supposed anti-Semitic family was dating a Jewish woman, it's debatable what the intentions of her boyfriend really were, which links back to Love Jihad" can only be included in Wikipedia articles if they reflecting reliable sources. We cannot add such speculation if it is just our own. This is forbidden by our core content policy prohibiting our own speculations and opinions.

If you'd like to discuss this, please feel free to point out on the Love Jihad talk page where a reliable source has explicitly connected these interfaith marriages to the love jihad allegations. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 21:05, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello. With regards to your latest content, rape is not love jihad. Neither is sexual grooming. While terrible crimes, we should not include them in the article as if they are. As the article defines, love jihad is pretending to love somebody so that they will convert. Beyond that, the opinion piece you've submitted by Sunny Hundal seems closer (although I'm not sure if it meets the the reliable source guidelines), but the larger problem is that you copied a sentence from it verbatim. You can't copy content from sources, except in brief and clearly marked quotation marks. Please see Wikipedia:Copy-paste. I've fixed the copyright problem there. Copyright is a critical policy. Content that violates copyright is typically removed immediately, so that's a very important page to read and understand. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 22:51, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

More on copyright

Hello, SanataniWarrior.

I appreciate your efforts to reword content into your own language, but need to clarify that you have to be careful to avoid creating a "close paraphrase" by not changing content enough.

In your recent edit to Love Jihad, for instance, you are very close to your source in language.

Source text	Article text
When asked about the basis of such allegations, he claimed some of his men had converted to Islam and taken admission in these madrasas. He alleged that some Muslims had also informed him about such actvities by the madrasas.	When asked for proof of his claims, he alleged that some of his men converted to Islam to have access to these madrasas. He then alleged that some Muslims had also informed him about this activity.

I have added bolding to help demonstrate where the content is identical, but overall you are following very closely in language and structure. Rewriting to avoid copyright issues requires more than substituting words. If word substitution were sufficient, then translations would never be copyright infringements, because every word is changed. But they are, because the creative feel of the original is retained.

Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing talks a bit about how to avoid this problem in adding your own content. I will work to address the close paraphrasing in this passage, but please be conscious of and careful to avoid this issue. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:16, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for informing me - may I later re-add the content but change the structure overall to avoid copyright infringement? SanataniWarrior (talk) 13:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

I did not remove the content; I changed it so it was okay. :) I did, however, add balance. We have to be careful not to put undue weight on the opinions of individuals in our articles. Since his statement has been challenged, those challenges are important for us to note, if we are going to talk about his statement. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:36, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

How to cite sources

Hi. I wanted to let you know that we don't put bare URLS in articles. They are not good practice because if the link dies, the source disappears. We may have no way to ever trace it again and the content that was once supported by it may be removed. When we have full information on the publication, we can retain the information even if the URL stops working.

You can look at the other sources used in the article to see what method is preferred - you should be including the name of the article, the publication date, the date you read the article and where it was published, at minimum. When the author is known, that should be included as well. (Some articles use different methods of citation - this is why you should always look to see what an article is using and then match that style.)

We have "templates" to make formatting references easier. The most common one is likely to be {{cite news}}. To use it, you paste in the following code: {{cite news |last= |first= |date= |title= |url= |work= |access-date= }} (Last and first are for the author names. If you don't know them, you can just leave them out.)

Please let me know if you have any questions about how this is done or take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources. -Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:50, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
