To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
Discretionary Sanctions notice
[edit]
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 India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. 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.

Thanks for this message. I am already aware of WP policies. I wish you also stick to these strict policies before making unsubstantiated rollbacks. Good day! OptimisticNihilist (talk) 08:13, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 17
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Renu Devi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mahagathbandhan. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Misleading edit summaries
[edit]Hi, I have noticed that you leave a lot of edit summaries that say "Added links", "Fixed typo", or "Fixed grammar" when they actually are more significant changes and sometimes add or change significant amount of content. I think you may want to choose your choice of words in your edit summaries more carefully so that other editors are aware of the actual purpose of the edit. Thanks and take care. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 08:27, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for your words. I will take care of this. OptimisticNihilist (talk) 21:05, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
