Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. lTopGunl (talk) 19:10, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello, thanks for informing me. However, it is not exactly clear which part was not constructive or wrong. I can certainly edit it, if you pinpoint it. Thanks. Swarup.sahoo (talk) 08:19, 16 May 2012 (CST)
 * I think it informed you about this edit ... if you disagree and think it was a good faith attempt, you can start a discussion on the talk page and give sources which support your view. Changing factual content without providing sources or atleast explaining in edit-summary why you did it, is usually assumed to be vandalism. -- lTopGunl (talk) 13:49, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for pointing out. Yes, it was a constructive attempt to correct the mistake. Wadia family is very known parsi family, though they had briefly converted to christianity. It is even well explained in the wiki page for Neville_Wadia, that's why I didn't feel the need for citation. However, it would have been better to give more details/citations and explain in summary. I'll open a discussion on this after I investigate on this little more. Thanks. Swarup.sahoo (talk) 09:46, 16 May 2012 (CST)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. lTopGunl (talk) 19:11, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Is this also about the same change on the Jinnah page ? Thanks. Swarup.sahoo (talk) 09:46, 16 May 2012 (CST)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Qutb-ud-din Aibak into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to make a note in an edit summary at the source page as well. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. You copied text you encountered from this edit to here . lTopGunl (talk) 23:36, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for pointing this out. But, I had written the original text on Qutb Minar and copied my relevant text to Qutb-ud-din Aibak. Wikipedia doesn't require attribution, for my own contributions. In any case, I'll write it in edit-summary in future to avoid confusion. I think, you need to revert back this change and add the text back. Thanks. Swarup.sahoo (talk) 10:00, 16 May 2012 (CST)

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:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * 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).
