Welcome to Wikipedia!

Dear GirishAdiga: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

• Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• Community Portal
• Frequently Asked Questions
• How to edit a page
• How to revert to a previous version of a page
• Tutorial
• Copyrights
• Shortcuts

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Wikipedians try to follow a strict policy of never biting new users. If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any dicussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD!

Also, thank you for adding the SamskritaBharati article.

I added a "tag" to the article suggesting it be "wikified" (formatted to Wikipedia norms) -- see Wikipedia:Guide to layout for more information on this. Having said that, however, "content is king" on Wikipedia, not formatting, so don't get too worried about the tag. We have lots of formatter/editors but we always need more people adding additional substantive material and starting new articles. I hope you'll keep adding to Wikipedia. --A.

But please note: on Wikipedia we create an article once. If alternative titles are considered appropriate, we use #redirect. -- RHaworth 16:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Spam in Prabodhini Gurukula

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Prabodhini Gurukula, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Prabodhini Gurukula is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Prabodhini Gurukula, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Speedy deletion of Astadhyayi 1.1.005

A tag has been placed on Astadhyayi 1.1.005, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Astadhyayi 1.1.005. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 09:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Astadhyayi Contents

A tag has been placed on Astadhyayi Contents requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Speedy deletion requests

As you've tagged the above articles as as under construction, I've removed the speedy deletion requests for now. I would however urge you to update the articles in line with Wikipedia's manual of style. --JD554 (talk) 10:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Sandbox

I have moved Astadhyayi 1.1.005 to User:GirishAdiga/sandbox. Please work on one article at a time in the sandbox. Only copy the text into the article namespace when it has at least some meaningful content and context. There is absolutely no need for placeholder articles. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 10:38, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Balekudru Shreematha

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Balekudru Shreematha, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Balekudru Shreematha.

Kalhaṇa listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Kalhaṇa. Since you had some involvement with the Kalhaṇa redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). Sitush (talk) 00:31, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
