Contributions to Indian History
I noticed the numerous edits you are making to history related articles. I think you have the right intention and attitude, but please do learn about wiki editing styles and procedures. Here are a few tips to help make your edits more wiki worthy.


 * First of all, leave a note on the talk page of the article that you plan to edit some.


 * Make sure what you add (especially in the case of a featured article) content that is highly noteworthy in comparison to the rest of the content in that section. For example: In your recent edit to Vijayanagara Empire, you added this line: "Sridharadeva wrote a work on medicine called Vaidyamrta.(A Comprehensive History of India: Comprehensive history of medieval India by B.N. Puri,M.N. Das p.101)". Compare this to the rest of the section on literature where some of South India's greatest poets and writers are mentioned (Purandaradasa, Kanakadasa, Chamarasa - all in Kannada, the great eight Telugu poets in the court of Krishnadevaraya and so on) and you will see that Sridharadeva's Vaidyamrta is not so important. You can't add info on all literary works written in an empire in that section alone because a FA is a summary style article. Please add such content to sub-articles.


 * Please provide more context to any content you do eventually add.


 * Please don't make other users complete your incomplete citations. Your citations should be complete and meet wiki standards. A citation is considered complete if it has the name of author, name of book, page number, publisher, year of publication, ISBN, location of publication etc.


 * Please ensure what you add is located in that paragraph of the section where it makes most sense. Again, I take the example of your edit to Vijayanagara empire where you just dropped that line in the lead paragraph which the FA author used primarily to introduce the reader to an overall view of literature in the empire, without going into specific names of classics and writers. To put your line in the correct location (after making sure what you want to add is highly notable) you first need to know which language it was written in. The following five paragraphs in that section gives some detail about important poets and classics written in Sanskrit, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and secular works, in that order. Your line must have gone into the last paragraph, if at all.

I hope this helps you. wish you the best of luck.Tamilyomen (talk) 19:20, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
