An article which you started, or significantly expanded, John P. Clay, was selected for DYK![edit]

On January 16, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article John P. Clay, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Proper use of categories & encyclopedic style[edit]

Welcome and thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia. Just a couple of notes on points you may not fully understand. Category:Dual-language series of texts is for just what it says: dual-language series of texts. The Clay Sanskrit Library is such a series. Individual Sanskrit authors and works are not! Likewise, Budhasvamin belongs in Category:Sanskrit poets, not Category:Sanskrit texts. If you don't understand Wikipedia categories, you needn't add them; others will assign your new articles to appropriate categories. But, speaking of new articles, do check in on your article Bṛhatkathāślokasaṃgraha, which has attracted the valid objection, "This article or section is written like a personal reflection or essay and may require cleanup." The other recent articles may merit the same complaint. To learn about the proper style of an encyclopedia article, see the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Wareh (talk) 18:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

August 2009[edit]

Your recent addition to Amaru (poet) 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 web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Hi, thank you for your contributions, but please remember that including copyrighted material on Wikipedia is a serious issue! The Amaru (poet) article seems to be a very close paraphrasing from the introduction to the book. This is sad... could you rewrite the article to avoid infringing copyright?
