Welcome!
Welcome!

Hello, Nikesh.kumar44, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Nehru Zoological Park, show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...
 * ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
 * ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
 * ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
 * ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
 * ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process - at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have!

Help me!
Hi,

The links I recently added to the reference section of relevant wiki pages were removed yesterday. The links I have added were written by me and published online in news sites. In this regard, I would be happy to listen from you as to why were they deleted so as to ensure that similar cases won't repeat.

Thanks Nikesh

Please help me with...

 * I would expect the editors who are reverting your additions to do you the courtesy of explaining why. Most often, this is done in the edit summary, but it looks like Beetstra has not been giving reasons.


 * If you are adding references to articles that you have written and published, please stop. As an interested party, you should bring these changes up on the Talk page of the article, so other uninvolved editors can determine whether the additions are appropriate.


 * But in looking at what you actually did, I think I can understand an editor treating it as vandalism. You incorrectly added your reference to the References section, not in support of any content in the articles. To experienced editors, this looks like out-and-out WP:LINKSPAM and would be reverted immediately. I'm surprised they did not go further and place warnings on your talk page.


 * Look, we appreciate that you want to help make Wikipedia better. But there are a lot of things to learn about how Wikipedia works both at a philosophical level (such as its opposition to being used for promotional purposes) and at the technical level (such as the proper way to code a web citation). Please take some time learning these things before charging in. The article Help:Referencing for beginners would probably be a good place for you to start.  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  04:28, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
