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 (and editing)
  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.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:2024 Kolkata rape and murder incident, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 14:46, 15 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
