Adoption request

Hi FordPrefect1979, I notice you've had a request for adoption up for a little while. If you would still like to be adopted, can I suggest that you contact one of the editors on the list of adopters? As Wikipedia is a volunteer project and many adopters are busy, a more pro-active approach would mean that you are more likely to be noticed. If you've got any questions, feel free to leave me a message. Worm^TT · (talk) 11:42, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gita Message!

Don't add each and everyone's quote on Gita in the article. I could not find anything in talk, discuss in talk first! --Tito Dutta ✉ 05:14, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We generally post a new message in talk page at the bottom --Tito Dutta ✉ 05:18, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Why not? I missed your post since you posted at top of talk page! If we find you were correct, I'll myself revert my edit there, please join Talk:Bhagavad_Gita#Norman_Allen_Quote --Tito Dutta ✉ 05:25, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tips

We generally use heading 2 to create a new section in someone's talk page (i.e. ==Your title==), and not heading 3 (===Heading===).
Also in article talk page, there is absolutely no problem in creating Notes subsection with reflist template (that means you can do it), but it is an uncommon practice, we generally post the URL directly, that means, we write like this

See the [http://www.example.com referenece here]

Which produces: See the referenece here

Let me know if you have any question on Wikipedia editing and formatting etc. Welcome to Wikipedia. --Tito Dutta ✉ 05:37, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
