Hi Casey! Thank you so much for your edits to
Krishna. I see that you have added a reliable source (RS) so I won't revert your edits this time. But I would like you to mention that which lines in the passage in the webpage that you added as a RS mention the information which you recently included. When replying please reply on my talk page.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Casey577, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to
Sabarimala have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of
permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper
paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create
copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see
Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples,
hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to
verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not
original research.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the
public domain (PD) or under a
suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See
Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at
Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the
help desk or the
Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see
Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in
Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
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.

When you have a source meeting our criteria and showing 2 sides of a debate, you should not use it only to present one side
