User talk:Rajnish980

July 2015
Hello, and welcome to editing Wikipedia. I'm afraid your first contribution, the article Rajnish980, has been deleted, in accordance with Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. This was because the article, about a person, did not give any indication that the person is significant enough to be the subject of an article in an encyclopaedia. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information about anything and everything, but requires subjects of articles to satisfy certain notability standards. In addition, writing an article about oneself is strongly discouraged: doing so is not in line with Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest. Also, the title of an article about a person should normally be that person's name, and "Rajnish980" is not likely to be a real name. (A Wikipedia username is a different matter altogether, and unlike an article title need not be a real name.) My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make (which you will, because we all do) will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.
