Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Why can't I edit some particular pages?

Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.

Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?

Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.

How do I create an article?

See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.

How do I create citations?

1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?

A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

March 2023

Hello, I'm Uanfala. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, 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. – Uanfala (talk) 10:34, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Indo-Aryan languages, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Thanjavur Marathi and Thethi. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:05, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Notice of discretionary sanctions on caste and related articles

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in South Asian social groups. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

- Please do not add any Indic script, to any of our India related articles, as you did at Parimal Suklabaidya, as this contravenes WP:NOINDICSCRIPT - Thank you - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:28, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Sylheti language

We have arrived at a consensus on the text after a moderated discussion. Please do not try to change it. Thanks. Chaipau (talk) 19:07, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

I didn't find any discussion on the talk page about that statement which I have edited. The adjacent citation (Mahanata and Gope) of that particular statement clearly states that many linguists consider Sylheti as a distinct language and also a dialect of Bengali by some others. I have only added that information according to the adjacent citation. Please don't revert my edit. Snusho (talk) 20:38, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Bengali-Assamese languages

I have reverted your deletions. The Dhaka variety of the Bengali language forms its own standard. Bengali has two standards---the Kolkata and the Dhaka standards. Please look for references given in the article. Chaipau (talk) 14:36, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

I know Bengali language has two standard forms. But the Dhakaiya kutti dialect is not the standard form of Bengali language. Dhakaiya kutti is spoken in Old Dhaka by Kuttis whereas Dhaka standard is spoken in all over the Dhaka city. Snusho (talk) 15:14, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Snusho! Your additions to Vanga Kingdom have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:50, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Misuse of the edit summary 'Fixed typo'

Do not unnecessarily misuse the edit summary! For example, if you are adding a wikilink, write 'Added wikilink', and not 'Fixed typo'! Hope you understand. Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 06:58, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Revision on Devapala (Pala dynasty)

Hello, I have noticed your revision on Devapala (Pala dynasty) in which you added the portrait which claims to be of Devapala. You cannot use a twitter post as a source of image. Read WP:IUP. Ajayraj890 (talk) 12:32, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Adding unsourced material with deceptive edit summaries

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:27, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

The source you added here simply mentions a few people named Banerjee; it does not support the additional text you added. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:43, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

I think you have misunderstood. It supports the additional text. Please see the page no. 38 of that source which I added in Banerjee article. I also added the page no. while citing source in that article. Snusho (talk) 20:07, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Mandal (surname), you may be blocked from editing. Ram1751 (talk) 23:22, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

I didn't add any unsourced content at Mandal (surname) article. The existing khagendranath Bhowmik's source (page no.23), in that article clearly mentions their Namasudra status, which is a Scheduled Caste community in Bengal. Snusho (talk) 12:21, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

You just added that source to support your edit. Your previous edit stated, "Mandal is also a Scheduled Castes surname, most commonly found among Namasudras, many from which has become "social elite", according to Clark." The cited source (Clark) did not support your edit. It is important that you understand this. Ram1751 (talk) 00:18, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
