Help me!

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Please help me with...

1. How does the point/reward system for editing Wikipedia works? Is there a fixed number of points for specific types of edits, based on major and minor?

I love Wikipedia, I would love to buy a "I edit Wikipedia" T-shirt. Unfortunately, they don't ship to India.

2. Is there a way to buy those T-shirts?

Harish.pentapalli (talk) 16:57, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reward system, other than when users give WIKILOVE. As for the t-shirt, I suggest asking at the Reference Desk or contact the Wikimedia store directly. Primefac (talk) 17:05, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with...

How does the reward/points system of giving a score of +something after a edit to a page, shows up in the user's contributions page work? Is there a system which awards a specific points for say, adding a hyperlink?

Harish.pentapalli (talk) 18:43, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is no points system. There is no rewards system. End of story. Primefac (talk) 18:44, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: I think you mean the numbers that show up after an edit in the history (for example, my previous edit on this page showed +161). This is not any sort of points system, but a way of showing the overall change in size of the page. If you add something, there's a +, if you remove text, there's a -. If you add and remove the same amount of text, it shows 0. Primefac (talk) 18:46, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

November 2015

Thank you for your recent contributions, such as Tourism in Guntur. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. —teb728 t c 05:14, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Tourism in Kurnool

A tag has been placed on Tourism in Kurnool requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016

Wikipedia Asian Month

Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)

Proposed deletion of List of tourist attractions in Anantapur district

The article List of tourist attractions in Anantapur district has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Policies violated by this page:
WP:NOTDIRECTORY "Simple listings without contextual information showing encyclopedic merit."
WP:NOTGUIDE Wikipedia is not a travel guide. We have Wikitravel for that, and many of these pages could be recreated (or already are) there.
The core content policies are: 1) neutral point of view, 2) no original research and 3) verifiability. This page violages policies 2 and 3.
WP:VERIFY What are the criteria to meet to be in the list? This page has vague or no criteria. By definition, then, there is no way to verify the inclusion or exclusion of any particular site in the list.

WP:NOR Original research "includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources. To demonstrate that you are not adding original research, you must be able to cite reliable, published sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and directly support the material being presented." Who says that each of the items in the list are tourist attractions? Given the lack of inclusion criteria, that's understandable, as there is no need to justify being in a list that doesn't have standards for inclusion. However, that also points to original research as being the source for inclusion.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:34, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
