Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Kautilya3 (talk) 17:24, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Jammu and Kashmir cities
Hi Skipperprime, thanks for your participation on the Jammu and Kashmir page. As the "Five pillars of Wikipedia" article explains, all information that is put on Wikipedia must be verifiable. However, not all editors are careful to follow it. The population figures for cities were apparently entered here, by a user long gone. This information has been here more than 10 years without anybody noticing the anomalies. I recommend that you update the three cities that are present in the Census table, and blank out the other cities' population figures.

Secondly, you are not allowed to provide Wikipedia pages as sources for content. I suggest that you replace it with a reference to the census table.

Finally, your own edit introduced plenty of unsourced content. Worse, it has been inserted into a paragraph which has citations. So, it appears as if your content is also verified by those citations. Normally, I would revert an edit like this saying it is unsourced content. But, since you have done good work in other parts of the page, I will not do so. I will simply tag it for citations, and I encourage you to find sources that verify your content. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 17:55, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
