[edit] Your recent edit on the India article

I have had to revert your recent edits in the geography section because it is a wholesale copy of the Encarta article on India found at [1]. You should try to rewrite the text so that it still conveys the message but does not match exactly word for word. Green Giant 19:07, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I apologise wholeheartedly if I seemed to be accusing you - quite the opposite I was pointing out that the edited text needed rewriting before it can be inserted into the article. Please don't hesitate to ask me if you require any assistance with rewriting or rules or anything in general. Green Giant 19:26, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

It appears that my bot (an automated computer program that catches vandalism) had reverted an IP who was blanking the page not you so no worries, it wasn't you it was overriding -- Tawker 19:57, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Hydrosphere

I removed a passage that you added to hydrosphere, because it didn't seem well integrated into the article. Maybe you would like to have a look and expand? See Talk:Hydrosphere.

[edit] Re 2006 Atlantic hurricane season

Just to let you know, I reverted your changes, as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and speculation is not one of the things included here. Please keep editing, but be sure to only include verifiable facts. Also, if possible, specify where you got the information. Again, thank you for contributing, and keep at it. -Runningonbrains 20:20, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured articles

Only articles that have been successfully promoted at WP:FAC are meant to be added to that list. Thanks, Marskell 19:04, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to India

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks!

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 18:57, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
