Here is a Welcome template for you to familiarize yourself with the way Wikipedia is supposed to work:

Hello, Nursingxmajor! Welcome to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, you can ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking   or by typing four tildes "~~~~"; this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you are already excited about Wikipedia, you might want to consider being "adopted" by a more experienced editor or joining a WikiProject to collaborate with others in creating and improving articles of your interest. Click here for a directory of all the WikiProjects. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field when making edits to pages. Happy editing!

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on User talk:Sikh-history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. SH 12:42, 20 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Heading formatting

edit

With regard to this, this and this, there is no need for any content to go in the space immediately under the main heading. Look around Wikipedia, such as at the Circumcision article or the Changeling (film) article, and you will see that it is not necessary. It is optional. Further, having information in such a space without it being under a subheading has caused our editors and/or readers to accidentally skip information because what they saw from the table of contents gave them the impression that there was no content in that area. This is because, on Wikipedia, it is often that there is no overview in a section that consists of two or more subheadings; our editors and readers therefore skip right to the first subheading in a section. One example that I know of where this included our own editors (including me) accidentally skipping a section is what happened more than once at the Changeling (film) article back in 2009. See this discussion, this discussion and this discussion.

You should review WP:Manual of Style, and Wikipedia policies and guidelines, to become better familiar with how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Flyer22 (talk) 03:39, 9 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:Children at a Young Pioneers camp in Kazakh SSR.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Children at a Young Pioneers camp in Kazakh SSR.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:05, 13 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
