Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I'm Ratnahastin, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Although you're free to perform most tasks on Wikipedia without registering, it's highly recommended you create an account as there are many added benefits. It's private and secure and it's also free, simple, and quick to do.

To help get you started, you may find these useful:
  Introduction to Wikipedia
  The Five Pillars (fundamental principles) of Wikipedia
  Ask a Question about How to Use Wikipedia
When editing, follow the 3 Core Content Policies:
  1. Neutral point of view: represent significant views fairly
  2. Verifiability: claims should cite reliable, published sources
  3. No original research: no originality; reference published sources

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 IP address linked to your contributions page (however, if you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a custom signature that can link to your own user page), a link to this (this IP's talk) page, and a timestamp.

  Hello, I'm ItsSkV08. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sectarian violence in Pakistan, 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. ~ Itsskv08 (talk) 08:38, 18 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
