Hello, Saileshpat! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub. If you are familiar with Wikipedia, take a look over some of the differences here.

I greatly appreciate your work on improving the Bhubaneswar‎‎ article: It definitely needs improvement, as do many of Wikivoyage's guides about places in India, which is why we have an India Expedition that might interest you. Unfortunately, Wikivoyage varies from Wikipedia in various ways that are not immediately apparent to Wikipedians, and I regret that I've already moved the detailed bus schedules you put up and deleted your montage. Please have a look at Wikivoyage:Image policy for some relevant information on the montage; I'm not sure where the most relevant discussion or policy page is for bus schedules, but the general procedure is to avoid tables in Wikivoyage articles as much as possible and just link to bus company websites, where readers can go to see up-to-date schedules. Part of the issue here is that we don't have anywhere near as many editors as Wikipedia, so schedules won't get updated reliably on this site but will at company websites (one hopes).

I really hope that my deletions haven't cramped your style too much. Please do stick around and help. We really could use the assistance!

All the best,

Don't worry too much about that; just do your best. The most important thing is to put up the content. It can always be edited, but the lifeblood of this site is information.
One small thing: On talk pages (only), please "sign" your username by typing 4 tildes (the ~ key) in a row at the end up your message.
Thanks, and all the best,
