December 2013[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, ನಿನ್ನಿಂದಲೇ, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will be removed shortly (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. This is the English Wikipedia. Please do not create pages in other languages. Please only create articles of encyclopedic significance. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:47, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Language[edit]
Hello, Praveen.dravid, and welcome to Wikipedia! While efforts to improve Wikipedia are always welcome, unfortunately your contributions are not written in English that is good enough to be useful. You appear to be more familiar with Kannada; did you know there is a Kannada Wikipedia? You may prefer to contribute there instead. In any case, welcome to the project, and thank you for your efforts! Vanjagenije (talk) 11:45, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
May 2019[edit]
Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Should follow WP:COMMONNAME. Even the Bangalore article is not Bengaluru Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:48, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Royal Challengers Bangalore shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Royal Challengers Bangalore[edit]
I've opened up a discussion at Talk:Royal Challengers Bangalore on why "Bangalore" should be used instead of "Bengaluru" in the article. You are invited to join the discussion - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:50, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
May 2019[edit]
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:Royal Challengers Bangalore, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button
located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
