Hello, Jnananetra, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially what you did for Tantra. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The five pillars of 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)
- 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!

- You seem to have a lot of insight into Wikipedia for a new user. Awesome edits on Tantra - thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 05:27, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Bluerasberry! Your welcome is helpful and, uh, quite welcome. I am a professional scholar of Sanskrit and Indian religions. As you probably know, not only the Tantra page but nearly all the Hinduism-related pages are a real mess compared to Wikipedia's standards for (say) science articles. I have avoided a clean-up project for years, but now I am finally beginning it, little by little. Jnananetra (talk) 06:27, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
- I am not surprised to meet a scholar of Indian religions here but I am surprised to find one with proficiency in Wikipedia's markup and who does not come onto this website violating copyright. Your summaries of your sources seemed great - you wrote those yourself without copying, right? If so, you do good work. If not, you still obviously have a lot of insight and I would love to help you. I mostly edit articles related to health and human rights in India. I also work with some Indian researchers in Varanasi, even though I myself live in Seattle. If you need any help with anything or can think of a mutual collaboration project then get in touch with me. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:22, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
