Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:32, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Rupee

I recognise that your edit was made in good faith but it is important to maintain historical accuracy and consistency. The Indian rupee sign didn't come into use until July 2010: before that, the notation Rs was used. If you want a better explanation, you could leave a question at talk:Indian rupee.

Please don't be discouraged by having your first contributions reverted. That is how Wikipedia works, see Wikipedia:Bold, revert, discuss. Welcome again to Wikipedia. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:32, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not give precise date of birth for living people unless they themselves have publicised it. The reason is that we don't want to make it too easy for identity thieves to impersonate them or defraud them. That is why the line you changed had a clear advisory saying Please do not give more detail than this, per WP:DOB and impersonation risk. When an article has this kind of hidden notice to editors, you should pay heed to it: if you don't understand it, then ask for an explanation at the article talk page.

₹ symbol

The ₹ symbol did not exist before July 2010, so it is potentially misleading to use it for earlier dates. It is absolutely incorrect to use it for rupees before 1948 (Independence of India). When discussing historical events, it is always good practice to use the style of the time, so that readers are clear about what they are looking at.

Indeed, when giving the cost of something like a bridge built in (say) 1950, it is good practice to add a footnote (using {{efn}}) that gives its approximate current equivalent. So let's say the bridge cost Rs123,456 in 1950, we can use the template {{inflation}} to give it's current equivalent, which is about ₹13,637,000 (using ₹{{inflation|IN|123456|1950|r=-3|fmt=c}}).

While I think of it, may I point out MOS:LAKH as no doubt you will need to refer to it sooner or later. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:10, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

I think it's better to write INR then...because Rs.sign is used in Pakistan,Nepal and Srilanka also.. It's better to write INR to differentiate with other countries currency.... 2409:4060:2D15:6B70:0:0:4048:8111 (talk) 16:12, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

But so did India until 2010. So all the historical documents say Rs, and by "historical" I don't just mean before 1948. It is not a great example I know, but say an article about Italian cars said that a Lamborghini cost Lit.100,000,000 in 1950, you wouldn't divide by 1,936.27 and put in the price as €51,646 (though a footnote giving that info would be kind). In the Indian rupee article, you don't need to say which kind of rupee it is but in the general Rupee article, I agree that you do. In that article, from 1948 on, you can (and probably should) write INR, PKR, SLR and MYR etc but you can't really abbreviate before that.

I really should say that I don't make the rules and if you really don't agree with what I'm saying, you should open a discussion topic at talk:Rupee (and talk:Indian rupee?) to invite a wider spectrum of opinion. People in England don't get to tell people in India any more how they should conduct their own business but the Wikipedia:Manual of Style still applies worldwide to the English language Wikipedia. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:40, 15 January 2024 (UTC)--𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:40, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! NM 01:00, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
