Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

editThank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 06:36, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
Legislative Assembly elections
editGreetings,
I have observed that you remove leaders' images in Indian legislative assemblies' elections, and choose to replace them with electoral party symbols. Care to explain why?

@Karan Kamath: Because in India, all legislative elections are fought on party symbols not leaders' faces. You can observe this trend on Wikipedia too. OverThinker (talk) 08:38, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
Indeed. But, nowhere in the world elections are fought on "leaders' faces", the provision for images in infobox elections, is specifically made for leaders' image, if we have a freely accessible one. Therefore, I must ask you, not to over think this, and let those images be, if there is no issue with the copyright.
