Hello Kuttappan Chettan. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Sm8900, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

If you need further help, you can:   Ask a question

or you can:   Get help at the Teahouse

or even:   Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{helpme}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:   Fight vandalism   Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome   Help contribute to articles   Perform maintenance tasks

Become a member of a project that interests you   Help design new templates   Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost   Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your userpage.

Please remember to:

• Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
• Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
  

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

File:Blum at Berkeley (cropped).jpg

Hi Kuttappan Chettan, you recently transferred File:Blum at Berkeley (cropped).jpg to Commons. The uploader of that file vaguely attributed the original author. Could you transfer the original image File:Blum at Berkeley.JPG to Commons as well? Thanks! ✗plicit 10:11, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Sure. Did that now. Thanks for the help in cleaning up the transferred files. --Kuttappan Chettan (talk) 04:02, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Much appreciated! ✗plicit 05:12, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

File deletions

Please don't use {{Now Commons}} on files with {{Keep local}} as you did here. This causes a bot to mark it for deletion (although the deleting admin should spot the problem, they often don't as happened here). I believer the Keep local template will take care of the Now Commons functionality by itself, see File:Mobility analogy resonator vertical.svg for instance. SpinningSpark 13:15, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

I've seen a few more like that since I posted the above message so it is not a one-off mistake. Please be more careful with this. SpinningSpark 16:39, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

I have made modifications to my user script file to prevent such transfers. This mistake should not happen again (fingers crossed) --Kuttappan Chettan (talk) 18:09, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that. SpinningSpark 18:58, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
