Good to see you here. I checked your contributions. Few suggestions:

Please add edit summaries.
In this edit, you mention that he is the world-authority in Indian classical music. That will amount to original research unless you provide a reference for it.
In addition to the welcome links above, howwikipediaworks is good for beginners.

Valluvar Kottam

Noted that you have mentioned it being referred as Mylapore Big tank. Can you cite some source for this? VasuVR (talk, contribs) 12:17, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will certainly do so and let you know. --Shillika (talk) 05:15, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help

I saw your message. How can I help you? Just edit this section and ask your question. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 04:32, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A little confused with editing of the pages. Too many signs and brackets! Wondering how to start my user page too. (User talk:Shillika)

That (signs and brackets) is the wiki-syntax and yes it is complicated. But you will get used to it in no time (I promise :).

Editing help

Please go through these pages that will explain the basics of editing:

Recently Wikipedia got a $900,000 donation that will allow the developers to work on making editing easier. But that is in the future. :)

Sandbox

You can use a sandbox page, User:Shillika/Sandbox, to test editing syntax. You can then copy and paste the result to the articles.

User page

To start your userpage, simply click your user page, start typing and click Save page to complete.

User name move

If you like to get yourself renamed as "Clocks", follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations#Instructions. If you need help with it, just confirm you would like yourself renamed, I can do the paperwork for you.

Feel free to ask more questions. Please sign your messages (on talk pages) with ~~~~ (four tildes). Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 05:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If I could change my username to Clocks it would be nice. Thank you for the help. --Shillika (talk) 05:26, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. See Wikipedia:Changing_username/Usurpations#Shillika_.E2.86.92_Clocks Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 05:36, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Is there some other thing I need to take care of now? --Shillika (talk) 06:20, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, it may take about a week for the rename process. You will be notified here on your talk page once it is complete. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 15:20, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding pictures in Ramoji film city

Hello,

I see that you have put up some good pics in the article. It could be even better if you could mention the caption for the image. Please do that so that the article would be meaningful. You could revert back to me for any issues. Your input is appreciated —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.36.232.87 (talk) 12:31, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
