[edit]I have noticed your edits to the article. On Wikipedia, all edits will need to be substantiated with a reference to reliable media sources (like Hindu or Times of India). They will have to removed otherwise. Please let me know if you have any questions. — Ganeshk (talk) 16:01, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Re:
[edit]Hi Mayura, The first part of my message was a welcome with some links that will get you acquainted with Wikipedia. The second message was a need for a reference from a reliable source for all edits to an article. I was assuming that this edit was yours. For example, you cannot write your original thoughts on an article or quote a Facebook post/page. All edits will need to be based on work already published in a newspaper. It is important that you write the Wikipedia article in your own words and not copy the newspaper content verbatim. Pragathi does not have a lot of coverage in the newspapers. We can expand the article when she does. Please read, Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. — Ganeshk (talk) 15:27, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
