::Hi Randeepa, I saw your message on the Bodu Bala Sena article, and I agree with you. I started the article two years ago, and I think it is terrible. It has a very large bias against the Buddhists, and that is not good, because articles are supposed to be [[WP:NPOV|neutral]]. But it is hard to find good information about this group in English, also I think none of the editors are Buddhist. By the way, you can add your signature by typing four tildes, like this <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> after your message. —[[User:Neotarf|Neotarf]] ([[User talk:Neotarf|talk]]) 15:30, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

==Sept 2014==
[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, and [[Wikipedia:Introduction|welcome to Wikipedia]]. You appear to be engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]] with one or more editors according to your reverts at [[:Bodu Bala Sena]]. Although repeatedly [[Help:Reverting|reverting or undoing]] another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the [[Wikipedia:Editing policy|normal editing process]], and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] on the [[:Talk:Bodu Bala Sena|talk page]].

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|block]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-ewsoft --> [[User:U3964057|Andrew]] ([[User talk:U3964057|talk]]) 00:48, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did to Bodu Bala Sena, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please do not change the wording in quotes.

Hi Randeepa, I saw your message on the Bodu Bala Sena article, and I agree with you. I started the article two years ago, and I think it is terrible. It has a very large bias against the Buddhists, and that is not good, because articles are supposed to be neutral. But it is hard to find good information about this group in English, also I think none of the editors are Buddhist. By the way, you can add your signature by typing four tildes, like this ~~~~ after your message. —Neotarf (talk) 15:30, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Bodu Bala Sena. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Andrew (talk) 00:48, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Welcome Randeepa!

Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are 47,865,980 registered users!
Hello, Randeepa. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Neotarf, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.
Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
  Introduction to Wikipedia
  The five pillars of Wikipedia
  Editing tutorial
  How to edit a page
  Simplified Manual of Style
  The basics of Wikicode
  How to develop an article
  How to create an article
  Help pages
  What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Do's and Don'ts:
  Do be bold
  Do assume good faith
  Do be civil
  Do keep cool!
  Do maintain a neutral point of view
  Don't spam
  Don't infringe copyright
  Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
  Don't vandalize
  Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
  Ask a question
or you can:
  Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
  Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page, and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
           
  Perform maintenance tasks
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.
