Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! – Frood (talk) 02:53, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Want to understand why my edit was reversed
Hello Frood

I want to understand why my edit was reversed. The information that I had inserted was authentic and relevant to the topic; and I had cited the source as well. Please help me understand what was wrong in what I did.

Regards

 * , your edit was reverted because it was appears to be almost directly copy-and-pasted from here. You can certainly add the information, and I'd encourage you to, but it has to be in your own words, not from another website, even if it's properly cited. – Frood (talk) 22:50, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Frood

Thanks for explaining this to me. I was under the impression (mistaken, as it turns out) that I was supposed to stick to the original source language as much as possible. I have understood it now. Will share the same information again shortly, and this time in my own words.

Sorry I wrote the previous message without realising I hadn't signed in. Very early days for me here and just beginning to get familiar with the process here.
