Spurious sources

edit

Jaclyn beauty: I have noticed that you and your colleagues User:Mdnet and User:Jamaldn have inserted improbable claims about a connection between the Chola Dynasty and the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum into half a dozen articles over the past month. In almost every case this information is accompanied by a spurious source, that is to say, a falsified citation to a non-exsistent book (see examples below). Before you add this information again, I invite you to take a look at the Wikipedia policy on verifiability. If this information is important enough to be included in any article, you need to find a reliable source that discusses it. You might also wish to take a look at the policies on sockpuppetry and meatpuppetry. Aramgar (talk) 01:32, 10 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
