Pratik Bhatade

A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Pratik Bhatade. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! bonadea contributions talk 10:48, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Vin09. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Vijayawada Junction railway station without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Pukhrayan train derailment. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. —MBlaze Lightning ^T 10:06, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mewar Express, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Bharatpur and Hazrat Nizamuddin. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Indore–Patna Express, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Use of show preview option

Whenever you are editing articles on Wikipedia, would suggest you use the "Show Preview" option instead of directly publishing changes as you are creating a large number of edits which can be difficult to review.

For example, you have edited the Dedicated Intercity trains of India page more than 50 times. How can anyone else be reasonably expected to review all your corrections ?? Superfast1111 (talk) 12:02, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

• Hi Pratik,

Once again, request you to use the Show Preview option whenever you edit pages on Wikipedia.

Also, on Dedicated Intercity trains of India, the intent is to show multiple trains between cities not a single service as you put it (Kerala Sampark Kranti Express). Superfast1111 (talk) 05:29, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

July 2019

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to 2006 Mumbai train bombings, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The "show preview" button is right next to the "publish changes" button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 17:15, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. As this report shows, you're very seldom adding an edit summary. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:04, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
