NCERT
Thank you for your recent contributions on NCERT. Note that Wikiversity organizes content by learning project rather than individual pages. I've created a top-level page for NCERT and moved the textbook solutions pages below it, using a structure of NCERT/Textbook Solutions. Individual solution pages are organized by class, such as NCERT/Textbook Solutions/Class VII. This structure allows the content to be easily navigated and updated with a minimum of manual linking.

Please note that Wikipedia links should be entered as interwiki links, using NCERT format. Please also note that the actual solution text that has been posted is copyrighted content and may not be hosted at Wikiversity. There is no problem linking to this content, but it may not be copied and pasted here.

Let me know if you have any questions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 18:05, 26 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello Dave,


 * Thank you for your inputs.
 * I will take care of interwiki convention and the page naming convention shared by you.
 * I don' think the answers will be a copyrighting issue. Still, I am ready to take your recommendation on this. Do let me know on what shall i do.


 * Cheers
 * Vikram Maingi

 * The pages at http://www.studyrankers.com/ are copyrighted. Unless you work for StudyRankers and have authorization to duplicate this material, it can't be hosted here. But there's no problem linking to it. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 18:21, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Ok Dave

Is it required to remove the answers already posted?

 * See Terms of Use. We can't host copyrighted material unless you are the copyright owner and you explicitly license the content to everyone else with a CC-BY-SA license. You can still access the content you posted under the page's View history if you'd like to copy it and host it somewhere else, but we can't keep it on display here. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 18:34, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Dave. I will make a note of what you have mentioned. I will remove all the answers but will still keep the questions to be answered by other users. We can also add the links to studyrankers as recommended by you. Do let me know if this sounds fine.

 * I think keeping the questions only, along with a reference to the original source would work under Fair Use / Fair Dealing. See http://www.jurist.org/dateline/2012/05/sandeep-kanak-rathod-copyright.php for more information. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 19:38, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello Dave, How are you? I have another query on these. With regards to solution to copyrighting issue, I would like share that for any Objective type question (Fill in the blanks; Multiple Choice Questions; True or False; Match the following; etc) can I directly paste the answers with the questions. Because irrespective of the source, the answers of such questions will always be ditto. Because of this reason, it should not be any copyrighting issue. Please let me know if this sounds fine.

For the long answer (subjective) questions we will add the link to the sources as recommended by you.

 * Copying copyrighted content is a copyright violation, so it is always a copyright issue. The question is whether or not there is fair use / fair dealing to mitigate that violation. Fair use / fair dealing is not an exact science. Questions without answers encourage users to view the original material, which enhances rather than removes value from the original source. When you copy and paste answers here, you are removing value from the original source. If, irrespective of the source, the answer will always be the same, you should find an open source for these resources and either copy from or link to those instead. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:23, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
