  • 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, Ktrimi991 (talk) 23:41, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Donald Albury. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Vasco da Gama, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Donald Albury 21:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Jawaharlal Nehru, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:36, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Anuruddha (king) moved to draftspace

edit

Thanks for your contributions to Anuruddha (king). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. CycloneYoris talk! 04:34, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Using other Wikipedia articles as "source" for corrections...

edit

Hello, just to let you know about this; be so kind as to read and use the sources used for the article, and not other articles here. Wikipedia isn't always right :). Lectonar (talk) 14:30, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Maratha rulers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shahu. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

New World Encyclopedia

edit

The New World Encyclopedia is Wikipedia edited by a church to conform to their values. It is in no way, shape, or form a reliable source, and should never be cited in Wikipedia.

Always use reliable sources

edit

  We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edit to Sher Shah Suri, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal beliefs—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say.

You stated in the edit summary of this edit, "Sultan Jalal-ud-din Lohani was killed at the Battle of Ghaghra on 6 May 1529, meaning Sher Shah would have been ruler then since he succeeded him". This is contradicted by the reliable sources cited in the body of the article. Mehta wrote:

Muhammad Shah expired in October 1528 and the Queen Dowager, Dudu Bibi, became the regent of the state on behalf of her minor son Jalal Khan. She appointed Sher Khan as her Vakil or deputy governor and placed the entire administration of the state in his hands ... Mahmud Lodhi, the contender to the throne of Delhi, was yet in the field, and Sher Shah had to associate himself with him in the battle of Ghaghra on May 6, 1529. Sher Khan's participation in the battle was only half-hearted. Immediately after the defeat and flight of Mahmud Lodhi, Jalal Khan and Sher Khan submitted to Babar ... In the beginning of 1530. Dudu Bibi also breathed her last and Sher Khan became the de facto ruler of south Bihar as the regent of the minor sultan.

In other words, Sher Shah Suri was deputy governor under the regent until 1530, when he succeeded the regent. At that point Jalal Khan was still very much alive, having been defeated but not killed at the Battle of Ghaghra. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources if you have any questions about how to do so. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:34, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
