Why can't I edit some particular pages?

Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.

Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?

Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.

How do I create an article?

See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.

How do I create citations?

1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?

A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

A lengthy welcome

Hi Alenoach. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily in collaboration.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.

If you find yourself in a disagreement with another editor, it's best to discuss the matter on the relevant talk page.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal (talk) 17:49, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Artificial Intelligence, Brian Christian, The Alignment Problem

I noticed you changed a few page numbers in artificial intelligence#Transparency. I think we may be working from different editions of Christian's book. I'm going to check the citation and make sure it's my edition, and then change the page numbers back. I don't plan on changing your rewrites. (Just letting you know in case you're watching the page). Cheers. ---- CharlesTGillingham (talk) 18:05, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi CharlesTGillingham. I used the e-book version from 2020. In this version, p. 110 corresponds to the end of the part "SALIENCY: THE WHITES OF ITS EYES", and 88-91 correspond to all of "THE WRONG RULES" except the last page. Feel free to change the page numbers, as long as it's consistent. Or alternatively, you could also put the section names instead of the page numbers, which may be less ambiguous.

January 2024

Hello, I'm Philipnelson99. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Glossary of artificial intelligence—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Philipnelson99 (talk) 02:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

I didn't notice the added content at the beginning, sorry. Thanks for having fixed it quickly! I should have double-checked for any accidental copy-pasting before publishing the modification. You can check the rest of the contributions, they are serious, so I will add them back if it's ok to you. Alenoach (talk) 02:58, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

What happened is probably a "Ctrl + F, Ctrl + V" attempt that someway ended up copying the content into the article instead of the search bar. Alenoach (talk) 07:58, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Reinforcement learning from human feedback

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I reverted your edit on Reinforcement learning from human feedback because it cited an unreliable source. Please see WP:FORBESCON for more info. Happy editing! GrayStorm^{(Talk|Contributions)} 00:07, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification. I added back the content, but this time with a source from Analytics India Magazine and one from Ars Technica. Alenoach (talk) 01:00, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Centre for Effective Altruism

I appreciate your point about keeping the lead simple. The problem is the use of CEA's quote without making it clear that it's self-description by proponents. The way to solve it is to use the descriptions of third parties rather than linking to a boosterish website.Essence of nightshade (talk) 22:39, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Essence of nightshade,

I think the fact that it is a quote already suggests that it comes from proponents, which can be easily verified by checking the references. And given that, according to the 2nd reference, it is endorsed by 11 organizations, it seems ok to me to not mention the Centre for Effective Altruism to keep the first sentence easy to digest. I think the quote is a pretty clear description of what effective altruism overall advocates for, despite some failures like with FTX. Even if we supposed that their advocacy is counter-productive or not genuine, it wouldn't necessarily invalidate the fact that they are advocating for it. That's how I see it. But I will probably spend some time on the article this week to reduce the number of sources that come from effective altruists, potentially removing some content at the same time.

DYK for Jan Leike

On 17 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jan Leike, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that AI researcher Jan Leike believes "safety culture and processes have taken a backseat to shiny products" at OpenAI? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jan Leike. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jan Leike), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Please do not restore SPAM / COI links

If you need further explanation of why promotional links are being removed, please ask first. Arllaw (talk) 21:42, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

I see that in removing some older spam I accidentally reverted some content to an earlier version. That was unintentional, and I appreciate that you corrected that error. Arllaw (talk) 21:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Ok, no problem. If I restored some spam reference along with the rest, you can of course remove the reference or COI content, as long as it's a targeted edit. Alenoach (talk) 21:53, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
