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

Hello, Suthasianhistorian8, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.

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.

Edits on Polyvinyl chloride page

Information icon Hello, I'm 2620:15C:2D3:204:E33C:5C3:8D0C:490F. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Polyvinyl chloride have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. — Preceding undated comment added 19:30, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

October 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus. I explained to you that literally the meaning in english is One Supreme reality which has already been defined in the article. Om Maker is a non-literal meaning, therefore it cannot be considered literal. Nor was the source helpful with literal meaning.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. MehmoodS (talk) 22:57, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Information icon Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. MehmoodS (talk) 23:18, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Citation

You said "Two or three (citations) may be preferred for more controversial material or as a way of preventing linkrot for online sources."

This is fine but only if their is dispute on spurious grounds or against consensus with the first source among other editors which you had by Merriam Websters. Otherwise there is no need to clutter with extra sources. So that is why I mentioned that it becomes overkill, looks untidy and can be cause of edit warring like policy states that "One cause of "citation overkill" is edit warring". That is why one source is sufficient enough. Hope that helps. MehmoodS (talk) 03:36, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll remove the citations from HDS and Encyclopedia of Sikh Religion and keep the Merriam citation up Suthasianhistorian8 (talk) 04:02, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

requested move

Hi, I just wanted to give you the heads up that I've had to remove the request you placed at requested moves because unfortunately you put it in the wrong place and it wasn't signed. You're welcome to place a request again, but may sure you copy the model line and put it in the section with all the other requests, instead of replacing the model line with your request. You can recover the text you wrote from the page's history, so you don't need to type it all again. Let me know if you need help. Dr. Vogel (talk) 12:59, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion 2

Information icon Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. MehmoodS (talk) 18:12, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon with clock
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as you did at Ik Onkar. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 19:06, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
