Hello RayAdvait. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Walter Görlitz, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles   Perform maintenance tasks

Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates   Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost   Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

September 2022

Hi RayAdvait! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Demography of the United Kingdom that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Changing the page title is never minor, and in this case ran contrary to previous discussion - see Talk:Demographics of the United Kingdom#Reverting rename and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/Archive 16#"Demography" being changed to "Demographics" as a section heading, which became a wider discussion.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you move a page disruptively. PICKLEDICAE🥒 16:34, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Rajpath

Do not change Rajpath to Kartavya Path in articles like you did at Republic Day (India). Rajpath is the common name and should be used across wikipedia. Dhruv edits (talk) 16:37, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Number of A321XLR in the Indigo article

In May 2022 you stated 54 A321XLR are ordered by Indigo airlines. Do you have a reference for this number? WikiPate (talk) 11:15, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, please revert the edit. RayAdvait (talk) 11:20, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

ok thanks for your reply. I reverted it. WikiPate (talk) 08:39, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

2022 Commonwealth Games infobox

At the time that the Games were opened, the now King Charles III was the Prince of Wales, not the king. Referring to him as Charles III on this page would be incorrect, as that wasn't his name at the time of the event- the fact that it's his name now is irrelevant.

Disambiguation link notification for December 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Factions in the Republican Party (United States), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brian Fitzpatrick. 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.)
