AnupShukla

Welcome!

Hello, AnupShukla, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was Anup Shukla, which appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Use of multiple accounts

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm Sir Sputnik. I've that noticed that you've been using more than one account. Please be aware using more than one account can be quite problematic. Wikipedia editors are generally expected to edit using at most one account. Using a single account maintains editing continuity, improves accountability, and increases community trust, which helps to build long-term stability for the encyclopedia. While there are some valid reasons for maintaining multiple accounts on the project, using multiple accounts for deceptive or disruptive reasons is not allowed. Please familiarize yourself with relevant policy on the matter (you'll find it here), and limit yourself to one account for most purposes. If you intend to continue using multiple accounts for one the valid reasons, please clearly disclose the connection between your accounts and your reason for using more than one. Thank you.
