Welcome!
Hello, Ancientmaths, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.
If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Please be bold and improve the article. Please only contribute information with a reliable source; see: WP:RS. Inline references (see WP:ILC) support the text of an article and give source information proving the article is not 'Original Research' (see WP:OR). For a hard headed summary see WP:42

[edit]Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Caucasian race, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Hi - you must have checked this in your preferences, please uncheck it. Thanks.

Did you know that you removed a word from a quotation in this article? That's something you should never do, for obvious (I hope) reasons.
I've responded on my talk page to your post. Dougweller (talk) 12:45, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Taxila, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. lTopGunl (talk) 09:41, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
