User talk:Diasporic Sikh

Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, Diasporic Sikh, 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?

Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.

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.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. PerpetuityGrat (talk) 17:47, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

The novel is based in pre colonial texts. Should they be added instead? Diasporic Sikh (talk) 18:00, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

@Diasporic Sikh: 12 of your 16 edits (75%) have been reverted. I'm not sure what you are referencing above, but your edits are being reverted because they seem to be original research, are unsourced, or for other reasons. I'm not the only user reverting your edits here. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:03, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

I would strongly recommend checking out Wikipedia:WikiProject Sikhism before making further edits. I hope this helps! --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:04, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

So much for Wikipedia being an independent source of information. Most of the revisions made were on narrative and adequately referenced. Diasporic Sikh (talk) 18:09, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

@Diasporic Sikh: I'm sorry that you're disappointed in the editing process here... but again, I'm not the only one reverting your edits. You did not introduce any sources for any of the edits that I saw. Was there somewhere where you added references? I just don't see any. All edits need to be supported with references on Wikipedia. Not sure why you're insinuating that Wikipedia is not an independent source of information when you are including content that is unsourced. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:14, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Again, maybe you missed it but it was all sourced. Does it not bother you that the Insurgency in Punjab page is so heavily seeped in government propaganda? Diasporic Sikh (talk) 18:17, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

I think you should participate in a discussion on the talk page: Talk:Insurgency in Punjab. Your recent edits included the word "genocide" more than once, and I'm not sure if that is considered neutral in this case or not. I am unfamiliar with the article subject, but I would strong encourage you to start a discussion there or on the project page I linked above. Again, I am not the only user who has undone your edits here, please understand that. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:26, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm new to this so appreciate the adbvice. I don't mean to be rude, it's just Sikhs have endured this BS state narrative for decades. I'll look into the discussion facility. Thanks again. Diasporic Sikh (talk) 18:31, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

It's quite alright. You can talk to me here or on my talk page if you have any other questions or need additional guidance. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:51, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
