Also, It should be noted that Bharatpedia has no affiliation with Wikipedia. Although both use the term "pedia" in their name, they have always been completely separate and unaffiliated projects. When writing articles here: Use Indian English vocabulary and shorter sentences. This allows people to understand normally complex terms or phrases. Write good pages. The best encyclopedia pages have useful, well-written information. Use the pages to learn and teach. These pages can help people learn English. Writing in Indian English means that simple words are used. It does not mean readers want basic information. Articles do not have to be short to be simple; expand articles, add details, but use basic vocabulary. Be bold! Your article does not have to be perfect because other editors will fix it and make it better. And most importantly, do not be afraid to start and make articles better yourself.
