Disambiguation link notification for January 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Roads in Kerala, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kannadi. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thank you DPL bot. I have fixed it using Dab solver. Regards, Prof TPMS (talk)

Caps

I undid your move of Nilambur–Shoranur railway line to capitalize the last two words. See MOS:CAPS and let me know if there is any reason to treat this as a proper name. Dicklyon (talk) 01:37, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

You were right, Dicklyon. Thanks. Prof TPMS (talk)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Kasaragod, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 01:05, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind letter. The page on Kasaragod was created by the combined effort of many editors over a period of time. As I am familiar with the place, most of the material given are seen to be authentic. Please avoid removing large chunks of data as a lot of handwork by other editors can go wasted. But I appreciate your interest in Kasaragod and thank you for devoting time for this area. --Prof TPMS (talk) 01:10, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello Prof TPMS. Following up from my earlier message, please stop introducing original research and other unsourced material to new Wikipedia articles. For example, please do not create content forks based upon the unsourced material at Perinthalmanna, as you did at Edcuation in Perinthalmanna (sic) and Tourism in Perinthalmanna. To be clear, you are welcome to create articles on these subjects, provided that there are ample reliable sources provided for your contributions. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 01:42, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, Yamaguchi先生, I understand. I will include more references in future pages/edits.Regards, Prof TPMS (talk) 01:58, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
