Hello, {{subst:PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Bharatpedia! Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/{{subst:PAGENAME}}|your contributions]]. I hope you like this place and decide to stay. We are working hard to make this one of the most popular websites in the world, and it's only possible through the contributions of editors like you. This website is not just a collection of articles, it's an active community. The real fun here is contributing to Bharatpedia, but don't feel hurt if some of your first few edits get removed, as there are some central guidelines you may not be familiar with.

Some good advice: be bold in your editing, and use the talk pages to discuss with other editors. Be kind to others, because there's a lot you can learn from them, and there's lots they can help you with.

There's lots of resources to help you become a great editor, from our basic introduction to our in-depth manual. But if you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page, or ask a question on your talk page. Oh, and please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. Again, welcome!

AFC Backlog

Articles for Creation urgently needs your help!

Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 26 submissions waiting to be reviewed.

Do you have what it takes?
  1. Are you familiar with Bharatpedia's policies and guidelines?
  2. Do you know what Bharatpedia is and is not?
  3. Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
  4. Are you autoconfirmed?
  5. Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.

PS: we have a great script AFC helper which helps in reviewing in just a few edits easily! To install the script go to your user preferences and check the checkbox at: Preferences → Gadgets → Yet Another AFC Helper Script: easily review Articles for creation submissions and redirect requests.

We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial.
