Hi Adamgerber80! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. We hope to see you there!

Hello Adamgerber80,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged S5 class for deletion, because it seems to be an article that was previously deleted by a consensus decision.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Nicky mathew ( talk) 10:28, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited INS Dwarka, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Okha. 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.

Hello, I'm
MBlaze Lightning. I noticed that you made a change to an article,
Indian Coast Guard, but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the
referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

Hey,the updates I did are based on the numbers(sum of each category class) actually present in the columns for the respective boat classes. The cumulative numbers were outdated as over time some boats have been decommissioned/commissioned but they were not updated. Each of those boat class numbers are backed by their respective class pages which have all the necessary references(I know because I update them frequently and add the necessary references). As I said in my commit message, not everything needs a reference(because there might not actually exist one,AFAIK the coast guard does not publicly publish cumulative class category numbers, nor does any other agency including Jane's) but can derived from inference, the very reason Wikipedia exists is to collect open source information. If you would like to confirm references for each of those individual numbers, please feel free to visit individual boat classes and confirm(again I did mention that in my commit message to check the Bharati class page for more information). Please do a bit more verification/checks before randomly reverting edits. Thanks
Sir, I edited page on P15B about it's armaments, I don't have any reliable source but have images from Defexpo 2016 in which MDL had an poster in which it was clearly stated that 4x8-cell BrahMos will be on P15B, so I edited P15B armaments. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mularam2014 ( talk • contribs) 16:42, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Hey Mularam2014, Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your valuable contributions to the Indian Navy associated pages. The reason I edited your contributions was because they did not have references which could be verified by a third party. Most newspaper articles(existing references which can be verified) point to 8-16 BrahMos missiles not 32. It is great to hear that you have pictures of the MDL poster on P15B and you can use that as a reference(as long as the text is legible in the photos). A good way to do this is to upload these photographs to Wikimedia Commons and then refer to that in the article. Contributing to Wikipedia at times might involve a bit of work but is necessary to ensure the authenticity of information. Keep up the good work and let me know if I can be of any help.
Hello Adamgerber80, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to
INAS 561 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.
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. — Diannaa ( talk) 18:52, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

01:19, 10 June 2016 (UTC)Adamgerber80/Archives ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
Hey Diannaa, I understand that this was my second copyright violation and thus warranted the block. I agree that I erred the first time since I am relatively new to Wikipedia and was not aware of the extent of this policy. But I have been careful of this since the first warning. If I remember correctly, there was no direct copy of text and I did reword the lines on the Yudh Send Medal Page from the Indian Navy website. Maybe the rewording was not enough and thus warranted this block again but in my defense at times there is not much rewording to be done when describing a medal or an object. I have been a responsible editor for the last seven months and am very excited to do my bit for the wikipedia community. I have added numerous new pages(related to Indian Navy) and added extensively to existing pages(related to Indian Armed Forces) where most of my information is sourced from news articles. I will be extremely careful of this in the future and request you to please unblock me. Also, I feel a 24 hour block was called for because of my mistake but an indefinite block is bit too harsh and might discourage me from being an active participant of the wikipedia community. Thanks. Adamgerber80 ( talk) 22:02, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Obviously I disagree that the edit for which you were blocked was a copyright violation. Regardless of that, your unblock request demonstrates that you understand copyright law and how it applies to Wikipedia editing and plan on following our copyright policy in the future. In the future, if you can't add a description without it being a copyright violation, don't add it at all. Further copyright violations will result in you being re-blocked. — Diannaa ( talk) 22:56, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Just saw your note regarding 24-hour block versus indefinite block. The reason we started using indef block is because if we do it that way the editor cannot resume editing until they provide us with a clear statement that demonstrates that they have read and understand our copyright policy. There's been many people who simply resume what they were doing, to the detriment of the encyclopedia. Copyright is a very serious issue on this wiki and this is one of the ways we are trying to control it. Sorry if that seems harsh. Best wishes to you and happy editing. — Diannaa ( talk) 12:59, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

How to report the image for deletion to Wikimedia? I had uploaded it and am not happy with doing that. I have lost password of the account I used to upload it.
-Anuj.direct
You can put in a deletion request for the image and state your reason at Wikimedia Commons. In general when you upload an image to Wikimedia you give up any copyright to the image and it is released to be under the Common Creative license. But if there are copyright violations or other specific reasons then you can request a deletion. You can find more information here. Adamgerber80 ( talk) 07:32, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 01:00, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Adamgerber80. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! -- samtar talk or stalk 16:41, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

The ship INS Betwa is currently being salvaged after an accident where it is tipped over. The ship will not be operational for about two more years. Please reflect this in the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.233.141.25 ( talk) 20:09, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Hey, Yes that has been added to the page already. The status of the ship is connected to it being in service with the Indian Navy and is not related to it undergoing repairs. The ship will cease to be active when it is decommissioned or scrapped from the Indian Navy. Ships routinely undergo mid-life updates and repairs in the drydock and are still considered active. The same applies here. If you do wish to edit pages after your changes have been reverted, it is recommended to discuss them on the Talk page. Using multiple accounts(registered or not) can be considered as an attempt to evade consensus building and can lean to permanent blocks. Thanks Adamgerber80 ( talk) 20:19, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Bipin Rawat COAS.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 20:13, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
You undid the edits on this page with a comment "missing reference". If you had spent even a split second to click on the reference link at the bottom of the page, you would have seen the listing on the Indian Army official website.

Your recent editing history at Hsiung Feng III shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Thanks for uploading File:Anil Baijal.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:20, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Adamgerber80, on the discussion for Hsiung Feng III you've proposed Semi Protection for three articles. I am wondering whether you should also include a fourth, namely Taiwan and weapons of mass destruction.

Hey,the updates I did are based on the numbers(sum of each category class) actually present in the columns for the respective boat classes. The cumulative numbers were outdated as over time some boats have been decommissioned/commissioned but they were not updated. Each of those boat class numbers are backed by their respective class pages which have all the necessary references(I know because I update them frequently and add the necessary references). As I said in my commit message, not everything needs a reference(because there might not actually exist one,AFAIK the coast guard does not publicly publish cumulative class category numbers, nor does any other agency including Jane's) but can derived from inference, the very reason Wikipedia exists is to collect open source information. If you would like to confirm references for each of those individual numbers, please feel free to visit individual boat classes and confirm(again I did mention that in my commit message to check the Bharati class page for more information). Please do a bit more verification/checks before randomly reverting edits. Thanks
Sir, I edited page on P15B about it's armaments, I don't have any reliable source but have images from Defexpo 2016 in which MDL had an poster in which it was clearly stated that 4x8-cell BrahMos will be on P15B, so I edited P15B armaments.

Hey Mularam2014, Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your valuable contributions to the Indian Navy associated pages. The reason I edited your contributions was because they did not have references which could be verified by a third party. Most newspaper articles(existing references which can be verified) point to 8-16 BrahMos missiles not 32. It is great to hear that you have pictures of the MDL poster on P15B and you can use that as a reference(as long as the text is legible in the photos). A good way to do this is to upload these photographs to Wikimedia Commons and then refer to that in the article. Contributing to Wikipedia at times might involve a bit of work but is necessary to ensure the authenticity of information. Keep up the good work and let me know if I can be of any help.
Hello Adamgerber80, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to
INAS 561 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.
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. — Diannaa ( talk) 18:52, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hey Diannaa, I understand that this was my second copyright violation and thus warranted the block. I agree that I erred the first time since I am relatively new to Wikipedia and was not aware of the extent of this policy. But I have been careful of this since the first warning. If I remember correctly, there was no direct copy of text and I did reword the lines on the Yudh Send Medal Page from the Indian Navy website. Maybe the rewording was not enough and thus warranted this block again but in my defense at times there is not much rewording to be done when describing a medal or an object. I have been a responsible editor for the last seven months and am very excited to do my bit for the wikipedia community. I have added numerous new pages(related to Indian Navy) and added extensively to existing pages(related to Indian Armed Forces) where most of my information is sourced from news articles. I will be extremely careful of this in the future and request you to please unblock me. Also, I feel a 24 hour block was called for because of my mistake but an indefinite block is bit too harsh and might discourage me from being an active participant of the wikipedia community. Thanks. Adamgerber80 ( talk) 22:02, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Obviously I disagree that the edit for which you were blocked was a copyright violation. Regardless of that, your unblock request demonstrates that you understand copyright law and how it applies to Wikipedia editing and plan on following our copyright policy in the future. In the future, if you can't add a description without it being a copyright violation, don't add it at all. Further copyright violations will result in you being re-blocked. — Diannaa ( talk) 22:56, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Just saw your note regarding 24-hour block versus indefinite block. The reason we started using indef block is because if we do it that way the editor cannot resume editing until they provide us with a clear statement that demonstrates that they have read and understand our copyright policy. There's been many people who simply resume what they were doing, to the detriment of the encyclopedia. Copyright is a very serious issue on this wiki and this is one of the ways we are trying to control it. Sorry if that seems harsh. Best wishes to you and happy editing. — Diannaa ( talk) 12:59, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

How to report the image for deletion to Wikimedia? I had uploaded it and am not happy with doing that. I have lost password of the account I used to upload it.
-Anuj.direct
You can put in a deletion request for the image and state your reason at Wikimedia Commons. In general when you upload an image to Wikimedia you give up any copyright to the image and it is released to be under the Common Creative license. But if there are copyright violations or other specific reasons then you can request a deletion. You can find more information here. Adamgerber80 ( talk) 07:32, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 01:00, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Adamgerber80. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! -- samtar talk or stalk 16:41, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

The ship INS Betwa is currently being salvaged after an accident where it is tipped over. The ship will not be operational for about two more years. Please reflect this in the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.233.141.25 ( talk) 20:09, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Hey, Yes that has been added to the page already. The status of the ship is connected to it being in service with the Indian Navy and is not related to it undergoing repairs. The ship will cease to be active when it is decommissioned or scrapped from the Indian Navy. Ships routinely undergo mid-life updates and repairs in the drydock and are still considered active. The same applies here. If you do wish to edit pages after your changes have been reverted, it is recommended to discuss them on the Talk page. Using multiple accounts(registered or not) can be considered as an attempt to evade consensus building and can lean to permanent blocks. Thanks Adamgerber80 ( talk) 20:19, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Bipin Rawat COAS.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 20:13, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
You undid the edits on this page with a comment "missing reference". If you had spent even a split second to click on the reference link at the bottom of the page, you would have seen the listing on the Indian Army official website.

Your recent editing history at Hsiung Feng III shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Thanks for uploading File:Anil Baijal.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:20, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Adamgerber80, on the discussion for Hsiung Feng III you've proposed Semi Protection for three articles. I am wondering whether you should also include a fourth, namely Taiwan and weapons of mass destruction. I was researching for the Hsiung Feng III discussion and noticed some similar IP / Anon activity there regarding 'hypersonic' and 'nuclear'. I put a note on the other discussion, as a reply to one of your comments, but the whole thing has been so chaotic, that I wouldn't be surprised if you missed it.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Assam Rifles, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages VSM and YSM.
