Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, Cāṇakya, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.

Tbh, I prefer fruits over cookies and baked stuff. Keepin' it natural, yk. Cāṇakya (talk) 05:49, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]


Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
How do I create an article?
See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
  1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
  2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
  3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
  4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
  5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
  6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
  7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

[edit]

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Hindu Kush, you may be blocked from editing. Footballnerd2007talk11:36, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

blank out portions ? what ? I only rearranged sentences. I did not delete any information Cāṇakya (talk) 13:48, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits

[edit]

Information icon Hi Cāṇakya! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia: it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Warrenᚋᚐᚊᚔ 13:21, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

would you be more specific and refer more accurately to that particular "minor" edit which I made ? Cāṇakya (talk) 14:40, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Very few of your edits would be considered minor. This one, for example, adds content: http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Kalinga_(region)&diff=prev&oldid=1271490515 Warrenᚋᚐᚊᚔ 13:06, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
