Editing Philosophy
[edit]"As editors, we are not merely curators of facts but architects of accessibility. Every correction, citation, and clarification builds a more trustworthy encyclopedia for generations to come."
My approach to Wikipedia editing is guided by the principle that quality supersedes quantity. I believe in:
- Incremental improvement — Small, consistent edits accumulate into substantial enhancements
- Source evaluation — Prioritizing academic journals and institutional publications over news articles when possible
- Regional balance — Ensuring equitable coverage of educational institutions across urban and rural India
- Accessibility — Structuring content to be navigable for readers of varied backgrounds and technical proficiency
