Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Redhotgold, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some tips that you might find helpful:

  • Link to other articles with [[double square brackets]]
  • Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using [[double square brackets with|thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people]]
    • Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
    • Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
  • Add headings with ==double equal signs==
    • If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Add enough sections and you get a contents section.
    • Here are articles where you can practice adding sections when you've finished splitting an article into sections you can remove the code {{sections|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
      • ===subheadings are similar===
  • When you add information to Wikipedia please precis things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format <ref>[The webpage, book or magazine you are citing, a description, the word "retrieved" and today's date]</ref>
  • If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it with a search on the internet. If you know it is wrong correct it, if you can't find a source then {{fact}} adds the famous [citation needed]. If after a week no-one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.
  • ''Double single quotes'' gives you Italic and '''triple quotes'' Bold.

Many Wikipedians organise themselves by subject area, we have hundreds of WikiProjects ranging from Arts to Zoology, and I'm sure there will be ones that fit your interests. A good place to look for them is Category:WikiProjects_by_area, alternatively look at the talkpages of articles you are interested in and see which Wikiprojects have placed templates there.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit The Teahouse, ask me on my talk page, or ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

Edit warring at Kolkata Derby

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Kolkata Derby shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
