Welcome to Wikipedia, AndyeditsWP! Thank you for your contributions. This is an encyclopedia, so remember that it's a necessity to include references listing reliable websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you have used to write or expand articles. Please understand that these sources should verify the information in a fair and accurate manner. However, you must not copy and paste text you find anywhere, except for short quotations, marked as such with quote marks and carefully cited to the source the quote was taken from. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted by others if unreferenced or referenced poorly or if they are copyright violations. See referencing for beginners for more details.
I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page.

English variants
editThe English-language Wikipedia uses multiple English variants including American English, Australian English, British English, Indian English, South African English, and others. This includes spelling, word choice, date formats, etc. Articles should be written in the variant associated with a national tie. e.g. India Habitat Centre otherwise should retain the existing variant; the variant used by the article creator. See WP:ENGVAR.
BTW: You missed "centre". Thank you Adakiko (talk) 04:44, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello. I'd like to ask that you stop making these kinds of edits. Redirects are not errors that need to be "fixed"—in fact, they are helpful to have for a variety of reasons. Per the Wikipedia guideline WP:NOTBROKEN, editors are asked not to make edits solely to remove redirects. ― Tartan357 Talk 02:06, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
wikilinks
editHi Andy, just wanted to let you know how wikilinks work. All wikipedia page titles start with a capital letter, which is a limitation of the platform on which it is built as I understand it. But either case works in a wikilink. When a wikilink is renamed in the text with a vertical bar, the target page title is not displayed. So inert and inert are the same; you needn't change these. Look at iPhone to see how a page that starts with a lowercase letter is dealt with via the {{lowercase title}} template. Hope that helps. Tayste (edits) 23:33, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
