Welcome![edit]

Hello, Adith03, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits has not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

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 name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask a question on your talk page. Again, welcome. Doug Weller talk 14:12, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

October 2016[edit]

Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Tolkāppiyam without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You should never remove sourced text just because you disagree with it. Doug Weller talk 14:13, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Haploidavey. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Mohenjo-daro, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The sources used broadly agree with the date ranges given. If you have reliable sources that support your change, please provide them Haploidavey (talk) 14:38, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

With reference to the above, it occurs to me that you might possibly be using a source that refers to a date as BP (Before Present) or similar. If that's the case, please bear in mind that sources using BC or BCE (the latter is used in the article) would convert 5000 BP to 3,000 BCE. Haploidavey (talk) 14:52, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ājīvika[edit]

I have no idea what you were trying to do here, but please don't do it again. If you were actually trying to change the name of the article, you need to start a discussion at Talk:Ājīvika and get agreement. Doug Weller talk 15:09, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

October 2016[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Cyprus. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Cyprus. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Dr. K. 17:00, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
