Hello. Welcome to my user page. Veera Narayana is not my true name. I am using it here as my username from August 2018, and calling me Veera would be appropriate.
I am an Indian, Telugu language-speaking person. I live in Hyderabad. I started collaborating to Telugu film articles in particular, in 2012. I was made a pending changes reviewer later, something which i am still today. Retired twice, i am back for reasons best known to me. My English language skills are not that impressive. But i can manage at a decent level.
WP:OWN says: "All Wikipedia content—articles, categories, templates, and other types of pages—is edited collaboratively. No one, no matter how skilled, or how high-standing in the community, has the right to act as though they are the owner of a particular page." With respect to the same, i decided against listing my Good and Featured content contributions. Not even their number, because i find that pretty useless as well. Having said that, this act of mine is based on opinions that are purely subjective. Nobody would object you guys listing your contributions citing WP:OWN.
I did meet many skilled contributors here. I did collaborate with all of them in some or the other way and considered them my friends. But not all turned out to be, and i realised that Wikipedia is as professional as any other activity where people from different places across the world work with a common cause: building this encyclopaedia. There are chances that informal discussions shall happen in talk pages. But, they are few and far, usually helpful to create understanding between themselves. It was painful initially to learn that i was really isolated, but that is something everyone faces here. All do what they are expected to.
There are also instances of me receiving "Barnstars", a token of appreciation for doing something. However, one might receive them for sheer trivial reasons as well. I decided not to display them as well, as i don't want to be judged based on them.
