Welcome
Hello, Powerofjourney, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page List of Indian Institutes of Technology alumni have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

 * Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Muhandes (talk) 11:27, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Adding people to a list of alumni
Note that in order to add someone who does not have an article to a list of alumni, one needs to both establish notability and supply reliable sources to verify the membership in the list of alumni. The sources you provided definitely do not do the second (and the first may be questionable, just hosting something is not enough for notability). Feel free to reintroduce it (but maybe at the end of the list) with proper sources. Best regards. --Muhandes (talk) 11:30, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
