Again, welcome!<!-- Template:Welcomelaws --> [[User:Kautilya3|Kautilya3]] ([[User talk:Kautilya3|talk]]) 17:39, 11 September 2015 (UTC) : Hi HIAS, Not sure why nobody gave you a welcome message till now. Please note the key Wikipedia policies listed above. As for your edits of [[Jammu and Kashmir]] today, they are a bit problematic because newspapers are only reliable sources for news, as per [[WP:RS]]. For deeper analysis or historical information, we need to go to scholarly sources. So, I am going to tag them for now in the hope that you will find better sources. If you don't find scholarly sources, I or somebody will delete the problematic content. The stuff sourced to BBC is too blatant. So I am going to delete it right away. Cheers, [[User:Kautilya3|Kautilya3]] ([[User talk:Kautilya3|talk]]) 17:42, 11 September 2015 (UTC) :: I don't think his edits were problematic. When did inserting sourced content supported by reliable, secondary and third-party sources become problematic? Not only newspapers, but there are many books that support his edits too.
