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.
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 user page. Seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Welcome
[edit]First I would like to thank you for your photo contribution to the Kolkata page. I would request you to kindly add edit summary, so that it helps future editors to understand. Second, kindly sign by using four tildes ~~~~ when posting a message on talk pages, but don't sign on the wikipages. If, you face any problem in understanding anything on wikipedia, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Amartyabag TALK2ME 07:32, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

- Don't worry about the syntax and rules much, with time you will learn them easily. Start writing the articles if you can and leave the rest to other editors. There will be many editors, who will correct small errors. BTW, I am on SSC as BengaliTiger. Amartyabag TALK2ME 10:18, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
Fill the articles in the list with as many images you have. The links take you to a Template, which contains sub-articles.
- Kolkata Topics
- Streets of Kolkata
- Neighbourhoods in Kolkata
- Pic of B.B.D. Bagh, Writers Building, Governor House, Bidhansabha, Tata Medical Center / Any good hospital in Kolkata.

| For the awesome photo contributions to the articles of Kolkata. Hope for more such beautiful photos. Amartyabag TALK2ME 08:56, 17 November 2011 (UTC) |
Hi, welcome to Wikipedia! Kindly make it a habit to discuss on the talk page whenever you want to make broad edits, as you did to Kolkata. Its a much simpler and neater process than seeing your edits reverted. Hope you have a good time here! Lynch7 17:59, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks a lot for your honest efforts to improve the article Kolkata. Kolkata is a featured article in wikipedia, however currently it is in featured article review as the community agrees that the quality of the article has fallen from featured status. So we have to work together to improve the quality of the article. You can see the cocerns why the article is not very good any more. The article lacks adequate references and good references. So, I would request you that if you add something very new, please try to supply references for that. Also, lots of images do not make an article better, although images are very very important and complement the text.
- As a relatively new wikipedian, you may be interested to know further about the referencing process, some good things are here : Wikipedia:Citing sources. Again, thank you for your effort. Please help to maintain the featured article status of Kolkata. Regards. --Dwaipayan (talk) 23:35, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
Overwriting images
[edit]Please don't overwrite images with other images except for cosmetic changes. If you have another image you want to use, please upload it to a new name and replace all the instances of the old image. Magog the Ogre (talk) 22:33, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for July 13
[edit]Hi. When you recently edited List of shopping malls in Kolkata, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Salt Lake and Bhawanipur (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
