January 2019[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Biryani, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically, please read MOS:SECTIONCAPS, and please do look at a lot of good articles to see how they are formatted. Almost none of the things you capitalized in this article should have been; names of foods are almost never capitalized, and section headings and titles are always in sentence case, i.e. "Biryani variations in southeast Asia" (I made that up to include a couple of different issues) versus "Biryani Variations In Southeast Asia." Likewise, it's chicken biryani, beef vindaloo, and so forth; the exceptions are things like oysters Rockefeller, or Maytag blue cheese, in which the name of the food incorporates a person or place name that does get capitalized. There's a lot to learn! Keep at it! Thanks! - Julietdeltalima (talk) 03:19, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
