Welcome

NAMASKARAM!

Greetings. I am Tiara from Vadodara, India. As a student of journalism and a part-time law student, I intend to become a full-fledged journalist as soon as those godly degrees are bestowed upon me.

I began editing Wikipedia on January 24, 2007; only because of the abyssmal state of one of the articles which I set out to improve. The truth is, I have quite a sizeable number of contributions at this place, but I never took this project seriously, until I received an invitation from a local daily newspaper, where I was interning, to write about Wikipedia. I have been officially branded as a Wikipedia-expert at my place of work. ;)

I am mostly interested in editing India-related articles, as I intend to increase the coverage on various subjects which have not received the kind of attention they ought to have had. Like every Indian, I am a huge cricket fan and would be interested in extensively contributing to cricket-related articles and lists.

In addition to the above pages, I like reading and absorbing various policies and guidelines pages. They are very interesting, as I find it quite entrancing to learn how this project sustains itself through a community of ever-increasing number of users. Further, I would be interesting in contributing to Wikipedia's process of article deletion.

Feel free to make any edits to this page that will make it aesthetically better! I am always willing to help out too (although it would be more likely that I am the person needing help!), so PLEASE don't hesitate to contact me on talk page or through e-mail!

Contributions

Although, I have been contributing since quite sometime, most of those edits I made through anon IPs were trivial and some typographical corrections. The only article I have significantly contributed to is 2006 Noida serial murder investigation and am proud of it. Another contribution of mine was to copyedit a featured article – Sheikh Mujibur Rehman.

Awards

None yet, but I will be expecting some soon. :P

Information

There are many India related articles that need work on neutrality concerns. I will be taking a look at a few of those below:-

Some articles which need to be expanded and worked on:-

Common starling
The common starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is a medium-sized perching bird in the starling family, Sturnidae. It is about 20 centimetres (8 inches) long and has glossy black plumage, which is speckled with white at some times of year. The legs are pink and the bill is black in winter and yellow in summer; young birds have browner plumage than the adults. It is a noisy bird, especially in communal roosts, with an unmusical but varied song. The starling has about a dozen subspecies breeding in open habitats across its native range in temperate Europe and western Asia, and it has been introduced elsewhere. This bird is resident in southern and western Europe and southwestern Asia, while northeastern populations migrate south and west in winter. The starling builds an untidy nest in a natural or artificial cavity in which four or five glossy, pale blue eggs are laid. These take two weeks to hatch and the young remain in the nest for another three weeks. The species is omnivorous, taking a wide range of invertebrates, as well as seeds and fruit. The starling's gift for mimicry has been noted in literature including the medieval Welsh Mabinogion and the works of Pliny the Elder and William Shakespeare. This common starling was photographed at Bodega Head on the northern coast of the U.S. state of California.Photograph credit: Frank Schulenburg
