Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello, as a member of the said community and reading misinformation being perpetrated about us as a minority from the times of British regime. I feel I have the right to correct this information on Wikipedia. The references and further readings mentioned on the page are all written by people who do not belong to my community.

Many of the papers are written by members of the majority population residing in our state based on their 'non neutral' observations of our lives. All I've done here is to highlight some of these misgivings and course correct the information for future. Hope you understand this and accept the content.

You are welcome to publish your views in newspapers or magazines. On Wikipedia, only reliably sourced information can be added. Please understand that. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:38, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

How is my community's history told by one of my ancestors unreliable? I've cited the books from which the said information has been references. RajulaMalushahi (talk) 13:58, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

Only scholarly sources (academic works) are reliable for history. Please refer to WP:RS.

Other people can write books of course. But we can't use them for Wikipedia until the scholars validate it in their own works. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:57, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Shaukas, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 19:36, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
