Credit for articles

Hello,

Wikipedia policy does not allow for any author to take credit for their contribution, for the simple fact that 'your' article can be modified/enhanced/edited by anyone else. In that case, it does not make sense to attribute someone else's contributiont to the original author, nor is it fair to rob the subsequent editors of due credit.

So please do not write your name anywhere in the article. Your name is recorded in the history section of each article you edit, provided you made the edit after loggin in using a user id. Also, you may write your name in the talk section of the articles you edit update. Many members also put links to their contributions on their member page, such as User:Manoj Killedar.

Wikipedia appreciates your contributions and looks forward to many more.

Regards,
