I love Wikipedia and have been editing for years; for nearly a decade, I edited without logging in unless making a particular edit required me to do so. I'm particularly interested in food issues, including local artisanal foods, food writers, and food history, and in biographies and works of women and people of color, but on a regular basis some other topic sets off an edit binge.  

I have an alt account [[User:TrainerValereee]] which I created so I could demonstrate editing without all the extra buttons.

*<nowiki>{{subst:Uw-ewsoft|Article|Additional text}}</nowiki> produces [[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, and [[Wikipedia:Introduction|welcome to Wikipedia]]. You appear to be repeatedly [[Help:Reverting|reverting or undoing]] other editors' contributions at [[:Article]]. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "[[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit warring]]" and is usually seen as obstructing the [[Wikipedia:Editing policy|normal editing process]], as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] on the [[:Talk:Article|talk page]]. If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Additional text<!-- Template:uw-ewsoft -->

* Reliable Indian sources from [[User:Cesdeva]] (copied from an AfD post for [[Bibhusita Das]]) In case you are still interested: the two big news RS in India are '[[The Times of India]]' (TOI) (except for entertainment coverage, which is for-pay spam per WBG) and [[The Hindu]]. After that you have the [[New Indian Express]], [[The Economic Times]], [[The Telegraph (Calcutta)|The Telegraph]] and the [[Hindustan Times]]. There are some decent regionals such as the [[Deccan Chronicle]] etc. I'd put [[Firstpost]] and [[The Business Standard]] on the list too, but some may not agree.
