 * Are you sure you're following all the steps at Tutorial/Editing? When you make changes in the edit box and press "Save page", does the page you're editing change at all? What page are you trying to edit? APerson (talk!) 15:26, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * , I think they mean none of their edits are being allowed to remain (they've all been reverted) -- the rest of this page tells the story. The "test edits" warning was uncalled for, as it was a good faith attempt to add content, but unfortunately I'm not good at providing the appropriate kind of help.  Perhaps  could point you in the right direction.  ekips39  (talk)  18:53, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

 The Adventure

Hey there Nikhil Nayak, I can at least point you in the right direction. I am not a good Wikipedia teacher, I have never written anything more than a paragraph on Wikipedia. Your best bet is to use your sandbox to write up what you want to merge in, then talk with people in the talk page of the article about assistance in merging it. Adding to Wikipedia is a daunting task (part of why I stay out of it)and I find it admirable that you want to contribute. You can rescue the stuff you wrote on pages earlier by looking at the history and copying it to a sandbox where you can work on formatting it to look nice and ask other more experienced editors about it. Sorry about the test edit warning, I meant to send a level 1 warning through and got it mixed up with another editor that happened to be vandalizing Wikipedia repeatedly. I highly encourage you not to give up and would love to see you add quality content to Wikipedia! Jcmcc (Talk) 20:01, 9 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Nikhil Nayak, hello and welcome to Wikipedia. As ekips39 said, your edits were saved, but other editors reverted them, for several reasons:
 * At Bugatti Veyron you removed information based on reliable sources and instead added what looks like a personal opinion, in a tone that's not appropriate for an encyclopedia. "As you know"? I don't know, and if everybody did know, there would be no need to mention that fact at all.
 * At Naik (military rank) you added quite a bit of information, but again did not cite reliable sources, and quite a bit of the content doesn't seem particularly relevant to the military rank anyway. For example, how does it help our readers' understanding of the rank to learn that "Naik, Nayak and Nayaka [in Madhya Pradesh] [is] a title used by brahmins and non-brahmins"? Furthermore, much of the content you added was copy-pasted from here in violation of copyright. Other parts were originally a part of the Nayak (title) article which deals with the medieval title as opposed to the modern military rank, but they were removed because there were issues with the sources; you can still find the old concerns here. If you can find reliable sources backing up that content, please add it to that article.
 * You may want to take a look at the video at WP:Referencing for beginners; it explains how to easily create nicely-formatted footnotes for the references. Huon (talk) 20:03, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
