Welcome![edit]

Hello, Seomelono, 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 to the page Raebareli have 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:

Use of "Dr.", "Professor", etc.[edit]

Should be left off articles. The article about the specific person, can mention their education and degrees. See wp:honorifics and wp:credential (same page, different section. As an example Theory of relativity by Albert Einstein physicist and William Worrall Mayo physician and founder of the Mayo Clinic (hospital) do not have "Dr." on their pages. wp:notability (people) is about accomplishments, not about letters after one's name. BTW: I did state why on my edit summary, giving the policy links. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 19:09, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Use of script. Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Guide/Common mistakes mentions to not use Indic scripts in infoboxes as in the "| native_name = काशी हिन्दू विश्वविद्यालय" on Banaras Hindu University. I believe (you can read about it on the guide), that as there are so many different languages that the infobox can quickly become bloated. Leaving one out may alienate that group. The policy link is WP:INDICSCRIPT. You could add an invisible MOS:COMMENT in place of the script something like  (leave out the nowiki stuff). "Invisible comments" are not visible except while editing. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 19:33, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Be BOLD![edit]

On Raebareli, I changed the section title to "Notable people" which seems to be the norm. See WP:ListFormat. Also, wp:listpeople may be of use. I presume the people who moved are born there? Otherwise, they probably should be removed from the list.
Be wp:BOLD! Please do check that what your are doing is not outlandish or way out of wp:policy and wp:MOS guidelines.
It's best not to leave comments about improvements on the articles themselves. If you have an issue with something in a page that you are not too comfortable with editing, add wp:cleanup tags and start a new section/thread on the corresponding talk page. See [[[wp:talk page guidelines]]. On little viewed pages or pages that are not well written, you may find few responses. In that case, be BOLD! Another policy on this is wp:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle (BRD).
You can test an edit by using wp:Show preview or copy the section to your sandbox (link at top of any page while you are logged in or Use:Seomelono/Sandbox)

Indic script[edit]

Regarding the use of Indic script - काशी हिन्दू विश्वविद्यालय in the infobox of Banaras Hindu University. If this use would alienate other language speakers, then it probably should be removed. BTW: I presume this: काशी हिन्दू विश्वविद्यालय to be Devanagari or is it Sanskrit? - I'm ignorant... The policy is stated on WP:INDICSCRIPT. I'll leave the interpretation up to you. I would recommend bringing article toward policy standards. Otherwise, they are often looked upon as unreliable junk. If interested, please join Wikipedia:WikiProject India Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 00:32, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jim1138 Hi, can you please look at the Banaras Hindu University page's edits by me and the revisions done by Muhandes, who also has sent me a message in the following section on this page. Seomelono (talk) 09:33, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Seomelono, this edit, the external links were not functional. I am not sure what the problem is. This url: [http://internet.bhu.ac.in/malviya.php has "internet." in it. If I use http://bhu.ac.in/malviya.php I get a working page.

Avoid putting a direct link, such as with your first link: [http://internet.bhu.ac.in/malviya.php Malaviya Bhavan] That is bad practice. Use a wp:citation that supports the content. Avoid wp:overlinking. Hope this helps. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 18:02, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Or simply ask me what the problem is. I would have directed you to the relevant policy which prohibits external links in the body of the article. --Muhandes (talk) 21:43, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

November 2017[edit]

Hello, I'm Muhandes. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Faculty of Social Sciences, Banaras Hindu University have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Detective Anna moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Detective Anna, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Concern regarding Draft:Detective Anna[edit]

Hello, Seomelono. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Detective Anna, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 12:02, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Banaras Hindu University—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 03:14, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Materialscientist Sorry for that edit. I was just trying to edit a small section, but my mistake was that I was doing so from my phone, and the whole article got deleted. Lesson learnt! Seomelono (talk) 16:41, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
