Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Volten001 ^☎ 13:06, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

September 2023

Hello, I'm Julietdeltalima. I noticed that you recently removed content from Ruhul Quddus Talukdar without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Why did you believe this was a good content deletion? Julietdeltalima (talk) 16:47, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Lakshadweep. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please be much more mindful of Wikipedia's capitalisation guidelines and do not ever use ampersands unless they are part of a legal trademark or business name, per MOS:AMP. Write out "and". Thanks.

Overlinking

Hi SarahHill27, I have reverted a few of your edits, such as at Haugen Township, Aitkin County, Minnesota‎, for overlinking - so I have come to explain the reason.
As explained at ‎ WP:OVERLINKING we only link the first use of a term in any main section of an article, and we do not normally link:-

• Everyday words understood by most readers.
• Names familiar to most readers, including;- major countries, major cities, major languages, major nationalities/ethnicities and major religions
• Common units of measurement, years and dates

There are many articles where these are already, incorrectly, linked; however, we are trying to reduce this, not increase it - Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 10:54, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @SarahHill27. As mentioned by @Arjayay above, there is no real need to link names and topics familiar to most readers. Including major countries. Like Ireland. As you did here. See WP:OLINK. Please also consider reading MOS:ITALIC (The word "Ireland" also doesn't need italics. It is not a title or foreign term or otherwise appropriate for italicisation.) Thanks.
