Welcome to Wikipedia, Tejesh ghadage! :D edit

Welcome!

Hello, Tejesh ghadage, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} after the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

The image on the side has the text linked, hover over each to get a more in-depth understanding. Remaining a neutral point of view is NOT OPTIONAL, opinions that you express are not necesarily shared by other Wikipedians and as such should be kept to yourself. Just because the image says ignore all rules doesn't mean you disregard them, what that means is that if a rule hinders you from editing you should be bold and ignore it. Don't be a dick is quite self-explanatory, assume good faith and be civil.

Remember if you need help just give me a holler and I will get back to you as soon as possible, if I can't help I'll refer you to an administrator who can answer those queries which I cannot. If you are unsure as to whether or not your edit will break a policy ask an experienced user or place {{subst:adopt me}} if you want be "adopted" by a Wikimentor to learn under until you are capable of editing with minimal mistakes.

There are many things you can help with on Wikipedia, however, they all require some form of experience. For example users who participate in the Pending Changes trial need to have made some edits and show that they can be trusted, these users are known as Reviewers, users with Rollback rights have shown that they have experience in dealing with vandalism, these users are known as Rollbackers. There are many other user rights or flags but the requirements are far more serious.

Now that you know a bit of the basics go and contribute your knowledge to Wikipedia and make Jimbo proud. I hope to hear from you soon, who knows one day you might even become an administrator best wishes and happy editing :D

Your contributed article, Pandharpur....the heaven of poor peoples edit

 

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Pandharpur....the heaven of poor peoples. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Pandharpur. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Pandharpur - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. APK whisper in my ear 10:57, 15 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
