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.

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.

India's three stage nuclear power programme

Thanks for your warm welcome. Appreciate it. :) Wondering how I can get this article tagged at higher importance and quality. Is there any process for that? Charminarin (talk) 16:01, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Charminarin, I am glad that you are interested in the Indian Article I have posted the link for Wiki project India, where you can find a number of Other editors who would like to help in improving the article, feel free to post on the talk page there. About improving the article, I will suggest that you should read

1. Tutorial: Getting an article to featured article status
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dweller/Dweller,_on_Featured_Article_Candidates
3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:FAC

To understand what is expected from a good wikipedia article in general. To address the special case of article India's three stage nuclear power programme it would be a good idea to visit

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Energy Energy Portal and look at some of the Good Article or featured article from U.S. etc. on a similar topic from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Energy WikiProject Energy . Once we know what is expected from the article we can fulfil the requirements and get a Featured article status for this article by getting it assessed. (please do not assess the article yourself ). I would like to see your reply after seeing the links that i have posted. I will also try to help you in contributing in this article whenever i can. thanks and regards -- ÐℬigXЯaɣ 18:16, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
