Hello, Vajrasuchika, 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.

[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Kautilya3. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Muslim conquests in the Indian subcontinent seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please stick to topic when editing pages, and consult WP:WEIGHT to decide what can be included and what not. Kautilya3 (talk) 22:23, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kautilya3, Yes, I concur to the vision of having a neutral point of view in Wikipedia articles.
For the edit, I tried to retain the consistency surrounding my edit.
One of the proposed conversion theories were conversion due to caste discrimination. There was no elaboration on that topic. I used Richard Eaton's book as a source, the same source which was used against the temple destruction argument.
In short, Richard Eaton in his book stated that temple destruction by muslim rulers is "not unusual" and also mentioned that conversion to islam due to caste discrimination as "profoundly illogical".
I just used the same source. One can't choose one thing and ignore the other based on political preferences.
I'm for including both. Vajrasuchika (talk) 05:38, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
