Welcome!
Hello, Prachiv25, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:00, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Tanbiruzzaman. An edit that you recently made to Kyoko Kirigiri seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! → Tanbiruzzaman &#128172; 02:26, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Akane Takayanagi. 🛧 Layah50♪ 🛪 ( 話す? 一緒に飛ぼう！  ) 02:28, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Crime in Oregon, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. → Tanbiruzzaman &#128172; 02:29, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Taj Mahal, you may be blocked from editing. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 08:05, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi. Kindly stop adding unreferenced or unreliable citations backed sections in the article. I have reverted it under WP:AGF for now, but you are currently on final warning stage. Please be careful, lest you might get reported to WP:AIV and lose editing privileges. Consider this as the last warning. Thank you. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 06:34, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @The Herald, Apologies for this. Check out my message below to the student and instructor. I've also emailed them to ask them to pause editing, so hopefully this will be the last of that.
 * If you ever come across this kind of editor behavior from a Wiki Ed student, feel free to ping me. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:11, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Sure. I really liked their enthusiasm and have been monitoring their edits for a while now. Ideally should've reported them earlier but those edits, even though had a hint of close paraphrasing and copying, were still AGF. Which is why I was hesitant to report them. Hence, I thought of writing one last message after 4im warnings. Also, Taj Mahal got over 800 page watchers. So, it could only get conplicated further. But glad to see you step in. I'll let you know if something similar happens. Happy editing. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 05:29, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Keep edits to a sandbox
Hi @Prachiv25, We appreciate your good faith edits and enthusiasm for editing Wikipedia, but most of your edits haven't adhered to Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and have been reverted by Wikipedia volunteers. If you continue on this path, your account might get blocked, which we don't want to happen.

I encourage you to pause your editing and first to look over Evaluating articles and sources, so you have a better idea of what's a reliable source, how to identify articles that need improvement, and then check out the training modules on sandboxes. If you want to continue editing for your summer coursework, please keep your edits in a sandbox, where your instructor can grade your work, and refrain from editing articles in the mainspace. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Looping in. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:56, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Prachiv25, I second what said above. In particular, several of your edits to Taj Mahal either outright copied or closely paraphrased content from the Smithsonian magazine  articles that you cited. For example:
 * "According to... romantic tragedy" was copied from here, and
 * "During British...transition has occurred" poorly paraphrased content from here through word/phrase substitution.
 * So please pay particular attention to sections 12-15 of Evaluating articles and sources and the policies I have linked to in this post. Abecedare (talk) 21:22, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
