Your first edits
I had a look at your first edits. Two of your edits, though made in good faith, were incorrectly made. The image you replaced in Tridax procumbens was better than the one you placed, hence it detracted from the value of the encyclopaedia. The other, was when you added a section on Alanganallur on Jallikattu which you cut and pasted from the article Jallikattu. I presume that you wanted someway for the reader to find that information. The same is easily achieved by hyperlinking Jallikattu, which I did. The syntax is Jallikattu. If use this syntax, Jallikattu becomes Jallikattu. If you feel more information or relevant information should be added to the article on Alanganallur, then compose some text specifically written to mention Jallikattu's link with Alanganallur.

My advice for you to be an effective contributor is to get to know the principles and information on Wikipedia, using the many links I have listed above and only then cautiously proceeding with edits, gaining experience and confidence as you edit along. Happy editing! AshLin (talk) 13:35, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
