Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Lingam has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. - AquilaFasciata (talk &#124; contribs) 18:21, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Lingam, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - AquilaFasciata (talk &#124; contribs) 18:21, 16 August 2023 (UTC)


 * @AquilaFasciata if you want to maintain the look please do just don't post incorrect information Anmol arpit (talk) 18:24, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * That's cool and dandy, I would love for you to update articles with WP:Reliable sources, however your edit completely broke the formatting of the page. If you notice inaccurate information, fix it instead of rewriting the whole article. You put all of that content in the MOS:Lead instead of the body, and it was completely unsourced. I would look at the Introduction page that we have so you can get an idea of what's going on here. Alternatively, you could put your questions on the WP:Help desk, WP:Teahouse, or put the  template along with your question here on the talk page. I'll also put a welcome template after this section with some other helpful links. I would love to answer any questions you have as well! -  AquilaFasciata (talk &#124; contribs) 18:32, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @AquilaFasciata yes it does break the streamline of wikipedia(I'm sorry I'm still new) but I basically downloaded the app so that I can fix the horrible mistake of shiv ling being called phallus Anmol arpit (talk) 18:36, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries! We all started somewhere after all. That said, I'm not sure where it says that it is a phallus, only that a specific form resembles one. - AquilaFasciata (talk &#124; contribs) 19:17, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.

Happy editing! Cheers, - AquilaFasciata (talk &#124; contribs) 18:33, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Anmol arpit! Your additions to Lingam have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 22:46, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
