Welcome
NAMASKARAM!
Greetings. I am Tiara from Vadodara, India. As a student of journalism and a part-time law student, I intend to become a full-fledged journalist as soon as those godly degrees are bestowed upon me.
I began editing Wikipedia on January 24, 2007; only because of the abyssmal state of one of the articles which I set out to improve. The truth is, I have quite a sizeable number of contributions at this place, but I never took this project seriously, until I received an invitation from a local daily newspaper, where I was interning, to write about Wikipedia. I have been officially branded as a Wikipedia-expert at my place of work. ;)
I am mostly interested in editing India-related articles, as I intend to increase the coverage on various subjects which have not received the kind of attention they ought to have had. Like every Indian, I am a huge cricket fan and would be interested in extensively contributing to cricket-related articles and lists.
In addition to the above pages, I like reading and absorbing various policies and guidelines pages. They are very interesting, as I find it quite entrancing to learn how this project sustains itself through a community of ever-increasing number of users. Further, I would be interesting in contributing to Wikipedia's process of article deletion.
Feel free to make any edits to this page that will make it aesthetically better! I am always willing to help out too (although it would be more likely that I am the person needing help!), so PLEASE don't hesitate to contact me on talk page or through e-mail!
Contributions
Although, I have been contributing since quite sometime, most of those edits I made through anon IPs were trivial and some typographical corrections. The only article I have significantly contributed to is 2006 Noida serial murder investigation and am proud of it. Another contribution of mine was to copyedit a featured article – Sheikh Mujibur Rehman.
Awards
None yet, but I will be expecting some soon. :P
Information
There are many India related articles that need work on neutrality concerns. I will be taking a look at a few of those below:-

Some articles which need to be expanded and worked on:-
Features of the day
George Norman Barnard (December 23, 1819 – February 4, 1902) was an American photographer who was one of the first to use daguerreotype, the first commercially available form of photography, in the United States. A fire in 1853 destroyed the grain elevators in Oswego, New York, an event Barnard photographed. Historians consider these some of the first "news" photographs. Barnard also photographed Abraham Lincoln's 1861 inauguration. Barnard is best known for American Civil War era photos. He was the official army photographer for the Military Division of the Mississippi commanded by Union general William T. Sherman; his 1866 book, Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign, showed the devastation of the war. This photograph, by Mathew Brady, shows Barnard c. 1865.Photograph credit: Mathew Brady; restored by Adam Cuerden
