Welcome!

Hello, LeónGonsalvesofGoa, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Goa, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see:

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

I'm feeling a bit baffled. How am I including promotional content?LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 17:22, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

I just realized that you copied content from List of people from Goa into Goa. I apologise for the above message implying that you're promoting. Also, we don't have to copy all the content. Separate pages exist for their topics. And, in cases where we copy from page to another in Wikipedia, we need to attribute it as described at WP:CWW. Welcome to Wikipedia, happy editing and sorry once again! — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 07:51, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
I did some further reading. I don't understand why the section has to remain blank on the page. Could you please clarify? LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 03:28, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

No problem at all, I appreciate your swift response. I have a lot of reading to do.LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 17:22, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to the drive!

Welcome, welcome, welcome LeónGonsalvesofGoa! I'm glad that you are joining the drive! Please, have a cup of WikiTea, and go cite some articles.

Welcome to the DCWC!

Welcome to the 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest, LeónGonsalvesofGoa! The contest is now open for submissions. List your work at your submissions page to earn points. If you haven't done so already, please review the following:

After reviewing the contest, I don't think I am qualified to review pages. I'd like to withdraw and work on developing my expertise before participating in similar contests. LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 04:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Hey León, I'm sorry to hear that! I have removed you from the contest at your request. I do want you to be informed, however, that the DCWC rewards more than just reviewing. For example, you could create an article to nominate at Did you know? or In the news, which you may then nominate to be a good article — which are all non-reviewing opportunities. If you would like to improve your content reviewing skills specifically, you can ask for a mentor, and an experienced editor will guide you through your first review of a good article nominee on a topic of your choice. I'm here to answer any relevant questions if you have them! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:58, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
On second thought, I would benefit from mentorship. I'm a bit stretched for time, so I will pace myself. Do I need to re-enlist? My name is still on the sign-up list. (Wikipedia:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Signups) LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 03:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Great to hear that! I have put your name back up on the leaderboard; no further action is needed from you. I hope you'll find the mentorship resources educational, and I'm looking forward to your submissions to the contest! I just want to leave another friendly reminder that you can always reach out on the contest talk page for help and guidance from other experienced participants. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:24, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Bangladesh Anti-Hindu Violence 2024: Concerns About Recent Edits

I noticed that your recent edits to the section on the anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh from September 6, 2024, removed crucial details and citations from my contribution. The removed information provided essential context about the attack, including specifics about the mosque's involvement and the resulting injuries.

Please be aware that these edits may violate Wikipedia’s guidelines on neutrality and verifiability. The changes seem to obscure significant aspects of the incident, potentially misleading readers. My code edit was intended to ensure the article reflects an accurate and comprehensive account based on reliable sources.

I suggest we discuss this on the talk page to address these concerns and ensure that all relevant information is presented fairly and accurately. Restoring the detailed information is crucial for maintaining the article’s integrity. JESUS (talk) 06:27, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

DCWC closing update

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, Bronze Belt Buckle – 3rd place Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; Silver Belt Buckle – 2nd place Tuvalu BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, Gold Belt Buckle – 1st place Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!

In addition to his spot in the top three, Tuvalu BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! India Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.

The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

Talk page Talk:California Cantonese

Hello @LeónGonsalvesofGoa,

I recently notified you on the talk page of California Cantonese of a recent edit; thank you! Aearthrise (talk) 14:56, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

- Ratnahastin (talk) 17:22, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in South Asian social groups. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Nomination of Lingayat Vani for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Lingayat Vani is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lingayat Vani until a consensus is reached, @LeónGonsalvesofGoa I welcome you to vote in it and contribute to the discussion. PerspicazHistorian (talk) 12:48, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

While I’m sure this was not the outcome you had anticipated, I believe it is the best one for now. If I hadn’t fallen ill, I had planned to change my vote. LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 05:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Its okay. I have also been busy lately in my college exams, will try to write it again after proving its notability with more references. PerspicazHistorian (talk) 08:09, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
@LeónGonsalvesofGoa is there any way to find archive of the earlier version of article? I lost all the references and citations. Thank You ! PerspicazHistorian (talk) 08:11, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
Should i put it for Deletion review ? PerspicazHistorian (talk) 08:16, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
From what I reviewed, I noticed several references being misrepresented, such as using content about Lingayats but claiming on Wikipedia that it pertains to Lingayat Vani. I suggest taking a step back to assess how much content you can actually find specific to Lingayat Vani before considering a deletion review. LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 07:25, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Your Vote Matters

I welcome you to vote in it and contribute to the discussion, Talk:Lingayatism#Requested move 14 December 2024. Thank You ! PerspicazHistorian (talk) 07:58, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
