Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
• Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to .
• Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

I am also writing to tell you why I reverted your changes to Template:Hinduism small. The insertion of numbers created what we call on wikipedia "redlinks". Compare this version to this version. Do you see how the links with the numbers before them are red? Click on those links. A "redlink" is a link to an article that doesn't exist. Inserting the numbers like you did broke the links so that users can no longer click on those links to go to the page in question. Therefore, I reverted your changes in order to fix those links. I hope this makes sense.-Andrew c ^[talk] 17:26, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
