Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, TalkM, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.

Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
How do I create an article?
See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
  1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
  2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
  3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
  4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
  5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
  6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
  7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Use Reliable sources.

Don't use Bollywood Bubble as a source. It's not reliable source. Use Reliable sources like Bollywood Hungama, The Times of India, The Indian Express, Hindustan Times, Firstpost, India Today, Mid Day, DNS, Mumbai Mirror, The Hindu, Zee news, Abp news, ANI News etc. Sush150 (talk) 17:24, 15 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please don't use Bollywood Bubble source it's not appropriate source. Sush150 (talk) 21:39, 29 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I see that you have been advised by Sush150 twice before, regarding use of Bollywood Bubble as a reliable source. You have again cited content at Vicky Kaushal using this source, and this has been reverted. If you have questions or would like to discuss about this source, feel free to ask. Jay (talk) 13:02, 9 December 2021 (UTC)Reply


But Bollywood Bubble is a reliable source. It's a online new portal and they are into the business since 8-12 years.

Ok thanks. Since the above posts were in November, and there was no counter from you, I assumed it was agreed that the site was unreliable. Sush150 may want to bring up any points as to the unreliability. Jay (talk) 15:36, 9 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Read WP:ICTFSOURCES TalkM Sush150 (talk) 04:25, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Again I warn you don't use Bollywood Bubble source it's not appropriate source. Sush150 (talk) 08:42, 2 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please let me know why do you consider Bollywood Bubble as inappropriate source so that it will be easier for me in future. Bollywood Bubble is into the business for the last 12 years.

Please read our old discussion I already told that Bollywood Bubble was not appropriate source. So stop adding it and make a habit to add appropriate sources. Sush150 (talk) 09:36, 2 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I didn't get an appropriate reason for calling Bollywood Bubble as an unreliable source. You have mentioned to use TOI, Indian Express, HT's citation but didn't mention the reason for calling BB as unreliable source.

Did you go through the above mentioned WP:ICTFSOURCES page which mentions Bollywood Bubble as unreliable? Do you have an issue with the site being listed as unreliable at that page? Jay (talk) 10:11, 2 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

In WP:ICTFSOURCES clearly mentioned Bollywood Bubble is not reliable source. Sush150 (talk) 13:19, 3 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

@TalkM: Please stop using Bollywood Bubble as a source, it's a non-reliable one, as already mentioned by the other editors. I guess you've still not gone through WP:ICTFSOURCES, kindly read it once. ManaliJain (talk) 10:38, 30 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Jay (talk) 06:13, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

You have been adding links from bollywoodbubble to several articles, despite they getting reverted. You are continuing to do the same, despite the section above when you were asked not to. Jay (talk) 06:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Nayandeep Rakshit

edit
 

The article Nayandeep Rakshit has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

  Hi TalkM! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. You are making almost all your edits as Minor, while they are not. Jay 💬 12:43, 28 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Jawan (film). Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.
