User talk:Riyas202

Welcome

Hello, Riyas202, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created was User:Riyas202, which appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself has been or will shortly be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, but if you want to use the content from it, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 19:35, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

• Please read this. Please do not restore the bio until you have an established editing presence on Wikipedia, as as things are it appears very much to be using Wikipedia as a social networking site. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:22, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Riyas202, thank you for contributing here, and I'm sorry you're being treated this way. I don't know what else to say; it shames me that I'm part of the same "community" that is targeting you like this. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:06, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm OccultZone. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living person on Mamta Kulkarni, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. OccultZone (Talk) 17:29, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
