Hello, ZuhaSarai, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

National varieties of English

[edit]

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Article 370 of the Constitution of India, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 03:04, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Zuha, welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for choosing the Article 370 page as your course project. I am one of the major contributors to the page and welcome your participation.

This page is a high-traffic page which receives a lot of scrutiny. So, there is no particular need for making cosmetic edits. If you are wondering what work you can do on the page, you can start by verifying some of the source citations, in order to check and make sure that the content accurately describes what the sources say. You can also attend to some of the problems that have been flagged, e.g., one whole section is tagged as being non-neutral. Please be sure to read the talk page (as well as its archives) to understand what the issues are.

Beyond that, new coverage is needed for practically everything that happened after 1954. In particular the State Autonomy Committee report has not been covered in any detail.

Some additional content on the current revocation of the special status and its legal issues would also be useful. But I would put this in the 'advanced material' category, which you can get to after you have had enough experience in editing.

Please feel free to ask me for any help or advice. Cheers. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:03, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
