Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Golden frog. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:
- Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
- Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
- Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
- Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
- Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
- Do not insert external links or references

I also noticed that you corrected an apparent error in a direct guote in Aisa Yeh Jahaan. Per the Manual of Style, we do not correct major errors in quotes. I have therefore restored the original wording of the quote and added Template:Sic to indicate that the error is in the original text. - Donald Albury 13:40, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks sir. I am a beginner, and did what I thought was proper. But as you tell me I was wrong. I am so happy I got teachers like you to teach me/guide me. Thanks again. MyNameIsAnthonyGonsalves (talk) 17:11, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- We have a lot of policies and guidelines, and I often have to refer to them to remind myself how to do things. Take some time to read some of the links from Help:Contents, the five pillars, and the Manual of Style. Ask questions at the Teahouse. Play with things in your sandbox. Don't worry about getting everything perfect, and try not to take reversions and/or warnings personally. We always have a tension between encouraging new editors and keeping the encyclopedia in line with policies and guidelines, so if you make mistakes, and everybody does, someone will likely fix it and let you know.

- Thanks Sir. I read your reply carefully, and distilled 6 pieces of advice out of it. Please confirm. I am giving it in table, for two reasons. (1) It will help many beginners (2) It will help me learn making tables. Thanks again sir.
