Notable people section in Ranni
Hi Rojin,

Thank you for your interest in Ranni article. Please see the talk page about the section. As a new comer, there will be lots of reading to be done to write and edit good articles. Especially see the five pillar section. I did a lot of work on the Ranni to make it some sort of encyclopedic. However there are much work remaining. I guess, much of the online resources about Ranni are exhausted. More resource will be there in books, which I haven't got an opportunity to look into. When editing articles please try to model other Featured Articles, like Cochin, Bangalore, Mysore and most of the other Indian states. That way it will be easier to create comprehensive article of encyclopedic value. You are welcome to work on Ranni. Please make sure the information added are required. Also look into WP:NOT. If you are unsure about adding, you can post it on the talk page. The article also lack photos. I think next time I visit, I'll get a few. I'm currently working on Pathanamthitta District. My aim is to make it atleast a B class article. Now it is C. After that I'll try to do some more work in Ranni. Once again thank you for your interest, and happy editing. - Mathew Joy (talk) 13:04, 11 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I am not an experienced wiki writer either. As wikipedians, all are encouraged to edit articles. Before editing, there are few questions that need to be answered:
 * Is it informative (to the article)?
 * Does the information fit in (under the given guidelines)?
 * Does it have proper citation?
 * If the answer is yes, then you can go ahead and do the edit. If you are unsure about, you can post it in the articles talk page. Some editors can look into it. As a new comer, you often find you edits being deleted or modified. That's a part of collective editing, I guess. But many newcomers find that as an unwelcome sign. This is also one of the reason I didn't edit the PIN code that you put. Actually Ranni will have a list of pincodes, since the article is about Ranni taluk, not Ranni village. Soon I'll put a list of todo's in the Ranni talk page, and you can contribute in those areas. Once you do the wiki guidelines reading, you'll get fairly good idea what to edit, and the chance of somebody overwriting you edits will be less. About me, yes I'm from Ranni. - Mathew Joy (talk) 05:47, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
