'''Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages:'''
* ] – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
* Maintain a ] – this is one of Misplaced Pages's core policies.
* Take particular care while adding biographical material about a ] to any Misplaced Pages page and follow ]. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be ] with multiple ].
* No ] or ].
* If you are testing, please use the ] to <span class="plainlinks"></span>.
* Do not add troublesome content to any ], such as: ]ed text, ], ] or ], and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being ].
* Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Misplaced Pages is ].

The ] is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the ], add a question to the ] or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!<!-- Template:Welcomelaws --> ] (]) 11:53, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

== Edit summaries ==
] As far as I can tell, you are making good edits to the article on ]. But you often forget to leave an ]. It would help other editors if you used the edit summary field, either: (1) to explain your reasoning for an edit, or (2) to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be ].

The edit summary field looks like this:
{{The edit-summary field/OOUI}}

Please try to provide an edit summary for every edit you make (I know we all forget sometimes). With a ] you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting {{myprefs|3|check=Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary}}, and then click the "Save" button.

:Thanks for your suggestion, I will keep that in mind.
:I have something to ask- I have created a new wiki ]. Could you please give some suggestion on how to improve it so it doesn't get rejected? ] (]) 15:53, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
::Well to start with you need to delete the "Controversies" heading. See ].

::All the newspaper citations need going through. If there is a Misplaced Pages article on the newspaper in question, this should be wikilinked inside the citation. Newspaper articles have a publication date - that needs to go in the citation. Newspaper articles often list their authors; the best way to list these is to use the |first1 |last1 |first2 |last2 fields (if there 6 authors, you will have |first6 |last6 fields); sometimes articles list editors so use |editor1-first |editor1-last.

::If someone was arrested, the article should say when. Also, when did he get bail, and when did the Odisha Government decide not to accord sanctions of his prosecution and withdraw all cases against him.

::He has written for national and international dailies and has several academic publications and books - the article should say which national and international dailies he was written for, and have a section listing his books, and significant academic publications.

::Do you know his date of birth? If yes, how do you know it - i.e. we need a citation.<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">--] ]</span> 16:10, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

::The article says that he created a storm in Odisha Assembly and outside. Unless you mean that he has control of the weather, you need to rephrase that.<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">--] ]</span> 16:15, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

:::I do not understand why you had the ] deleted. Writing a new Misplaced Pages article is a lot of work. You have to build it up, and look for mistakes and try to fix them.<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">--] ]</span> 23:13, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
::::I just shifted that article to the main space ( I still have a lot of work to do on that one). I was busy creating this ] , it's 70% complete. Do you know how it's indexed on search engines? ] (]) 09:42, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
:::::There is a utility the counts the number of page views per day. The interface has various settings on the left hand side.<sup></sup> It shows that on 15 Feb 2023 the article on ] had:
:::::*89 page views by users (73 desktop, 2 mobile app, 14 mobile web)
:::::*81 page views by ] programs (73 desktop, 0 mobile app, 8 mobile web)
:::::*4 page views by automated (3 desktop, 0 mobile app, 1 mobile web)
:::::Internet search engines and some other websites use spider software (also known as ]s) to update their web content or indices of other sites' web content. You can see that the spiders came back each day (81 times on 15th, 21 on 16th, and 8 on 17th). If you look at a long-standing page that rarely gets edited, you can see that it got an average of 2 visits from spiders per day since July 2015, but some days it got lots of visits . You do not need to do anything to get the page indexed - the spiders will look at content and do it automatically. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">--] ]</span> 14:10, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
::::::ok thanks, I was confused by ] , it says indexing requires "patrolling". ] (]) 15:21, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
:::::::] says that article pages need to be either 90 days old or to have been marked as patrolled before they are indexed. There is evidently an invisible tag. I do not know how to tell whether a page has been patrolled.<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">--] ]</span> 20:55, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

== Advice when people cite policies for reverting you ==
] Sometimes people cite policies (or essays) and explain how the policy/essay applies.

But sometimes they cite a policy or essay but do not explain how it applied. When that happens, it is worth you looking at the policy/essay and asking how it applies. If you cannot see how it applies, say so on the article talk page. We all make mistakes - sometimes a policy shortcut that sounds like it should apply is to a policy that is either irrelevant or says the opposite of what the other editor assumed it did. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">--] ]</span> 10:05, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

== Abhijit Iyer Mitra ==

You would increase the chances of the article on ] being kept if you went through the citations, as I advised when I reviewed the article for you.

Another think that would increase the chances of the article being kept would be if you searched for more about Abhijit Iyer Mitra.

Potentially there is lots of stuff, but be careful because more than one person might have the same name.<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:10pt;color:#000000">--] ]</span> 21:08, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

:I am aware about these incidents and I am going to do some changes to the article but I need time. I can't do everything at once. Last week I was busy in this article ]. ] (]) 21:12, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
