Welcome!

Hello, Nithesh.tumkur, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Manual of Style

Since you've shown some interest in editing topics related to India, we hope you'll stay and add content to India related articles. Indian topics are generally underrepresented on wikipedia and you can help counter this imbalance by becoming a regular contributor and by joining or watchlisting India related discussions (for example, Noticeboard for India-related topics). Again, welcome!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. naveenpf (talk) 15:42, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Incident (festival). Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, please cite a reliable source for your addition.

Hi. Can you please specify the exact places where I went wrong? Was the content of the whole article promotional in nature or the Link I added is the only mistake?Nithesh.tumkur (talk) 05:42, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Incident (festival). Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 18:23, 12 June 2012 (UTC)


 * To answer your question above, every single word you added was unsourced. In fact, you removed the few sources already on the article completely! Please read WP:V about the importance of verification, WP:RS about reliable sources and WP:CITE on how to add inline citations. The article you are trying to add is also very promotional and un-encyclopedic. Just some random examples "The cultural fest has gathered new energy", "Incidents proves to be one of the few events that caters to wide range of tastes", and frankly, every second sentence in the article. Wikipedia is not a tool to promote Incident. --Muhandes (talk) 18:30, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Muhandes. I have added the references and made the article factual in nature. I don't want to promote Incident.By the way it is my first wiki article and I did not know that descriptive content is not allowed. Hope that the changes are ok.


 * First and most important, you have added copyright protected material to the article. I left you below a boilerplate message with some details on that. On top of that, the article is written in a very un-encyclopedic tone. Terms like "Gaming geeks are not left behind during the fest", "Dashing divas, funky clothes, flashy music and stylish ramp walk are the norm" and practically everything else. But I think you've beaten some new cheesy record with "Orange skies, sea breezes, endless sea, restless waves and beautiful sunsets are a reflection of the pristine beauty of the campus". Does this seem like an encyclopedic entry to you? I did my best to correct some of this, but I don't have so much time for more now. --Muhandes (talk) 06:24, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Addendum: on second look, most of the information you added is still lacking sources. I removed some of it, tagged some more. --Muhandes (talk) 06:56, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
