User talk:Smitharao

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Dear Smitharao: welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:


 * Introduction
 * Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Frequently Asked Questions
 * How do you edit a page?
 * How do you revert to a previous version of a page?
 * What about copyrights?
 * Community Portal

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes ( ~ ). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 16:04, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

You edits to TCS
I see that you have re-inserted all the text that I reverted. First I would like to say that the quality of the text itself is very good. The reason for my revert was that I believe that the text could have copyright issues. It seems to taken be from an assignment paper or a research paper or an article. Even if you are the author of the article text then it could still also come under the no original research policy of wikipedia. That can be resolved by adding external references. Feel free to leave a message in my talk page if you need any help. ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 16:15, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Please post your responses in the user "Talk" page and not on the user page. My talk page is here. To keep relevant discussion together, please respond in this page. Also please sign your posts using "~" (more info). Regarding the text added, wikipedia is not the place for "original research." Please read through the policy and try to remove all original research text. Any text added with citations to the actual source are ok.

''Original research (OR) is a term used in Wikipedia to refer to unpublished facts, arguments, concepts, statements, or theories. The term also applies to any unpublished analysis or synthesis of published material that appears to advance a position — or, in the words of Wikipedia's co-founder Jimmy Wales, would amount to a "novel narrative or historical interpretation."'' ''Wikipedia is not the place for original research. Citing sources and avoiding original research are inextricably linked: the only way to demonstrate that you are not presenting original research is to cite reliable sources that provide information directly related to the topic of the article, and to adhere to what those sources say.''

Again, thanks for contributing to wikipedia. ɤіɡʍаɦɤʘʟʟ 16:15, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
