Information icon Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user page may not be appropriate to be indexed by external search engines as presently written. Typically, this could be because it appears promotional, or contains material in development or archived that doesn't yet meet policies and guidelines. I have tagged this page as __NOINDEX__, which allows editing but minimizes the page's inclusion in search engine results.

If you believe that your userpage does not violate our guidelines, please leave a note here and we can discuss it. As an alternative, you may add {{db-userreq}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, you can change the page so that it more clearly meets Wikipedia guidelines, or you can edit it as normal and ignore the tag completely (it will not affect editing).

However, please do not remove the tag without discussion. Thank you.

Your enquiry[edit]

Welcome Hamza and thank you for asking me for guidance on editing Wikipedia. Well I'm not sure what your interests are: your user page at present includes some of the content of our existing article on Pashtun culture. If you were thinking of improving that article, that would be very welcome.

First though you will want to learn how to edit really well, and that takes a little time and effort. You might start with our page Help:Getting started. That page leads to all sorts of links including the Tutorial, then there are some very useful pages listed under Introductions. If you would like to practise editing on the smaller scale, the Community portal suggests some articles that need various tasks doing. If you find you have particular questions as you go along, the "Teahouse" is set up to help new editors such as yourself. Starting a whole new article is perhaps something for later on.

Now about your user page. Most of us use this to show a little information about ourselves, particularly about our interests on Wikipedia. If you want to copy over parts of articles, perhaps to try out editing techniques, this is OK to do, but you might be better to use your "sandbox page" for that purpose. With the sandbox it doesn't matter if you make a mistake at first.

I hope all this is clear and will help you make a start to your Wikipedia career: Noyster (talk), 18:49, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
