Hello, I'm Shellwood. I noticed that in this edit to Khiamniungan people, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Shellwood (talk) 15:51, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Khiamniungan. Your edits continue to appear to constitute vandalism and have been automatically reverted. Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 15:52, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
 * ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, [ report it here], remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
 * If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.

Understanding Khiamniungan moved to draftspace
- I have moved this page to draftspace as a courtesy rather than putting it up for deletion so that you can make further use of the material, but please understand that what you are attempting is NOT going to work.

a) You should not try to completely supplant an existing page (Khiamniungan people) with your own material. Rather, improve the existing article by integrating new material. Wholesale replacement will lead to objections. Please add your material to the existing text.

b) Your sourcing needs to be MUCH better. Please check WP:Referencing for Beginners. All statements need to be connected to dedicated sources by inline references.

c) Some of your material is far too detailed. E.g., the exact list of days within festivals is not going to make it into an article - this is an encyclopedia, i.e. a summary, not a complete source repository. For such things, present an overview, then link to more detailed material as a reference.

d) Please don't mess with existing redirects (you blanked the existing Khiamniungan) because of a lack of technical understanding. Rather, ask for assistance, e.g. at the WP:Help desk.

 * ...okay, Diannaa just removed 90% of that stuff because it was a direct copy someone else's material. Definitely don't do THAT - few things are taken as seriously on Wikipedia as copyright violations. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:40, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Understanding Khiamniungan
Hello, Arrayshimmer. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Understanding Khiamniungan, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. Bot0612 (talk) 20:01, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
