Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Ladakh, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

 * the user did provided a reliable source when he reinstated their content . The first citation is to a regional news source, which is good enough for non-controversial content. I suggest that we retain the content, even though it might need to be copyedited to maintain proper encyclopaedic style. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 00:21, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

@Materialscientist: Have you ever travelled to Ladakh? How do you know my sources are not credible? I have cited 3 different sources, all are credible sources of information on the Ladakh region.
 * Hi Nitw, Materialscientist did not say "credible." He said "reliable source", which is a key critierion for deciding what can and cannot be included on Wikipedia. I recommend that you read WP:RS and digest what is defined there.
 * Secondly, you need to provide full citations for the sources, stating the publication, date etc. The editing tool you are using would have a menu for filling in full citation information. Please use it.
 * Finally, since you are just starting here, experienced users will often give you guidance on how things should be done. Please read and follow it. If there are blue links in their messages, you need to read them as well, because those links contain explanation of policies and criteria to be used on Wikipedia. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 11:59, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
