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.

Welcome to the drive!

Welcome, welcome, welcome NoahKale! I'm glad that you are joining the drive! Please, have a cup of WikiTea, and go cite some articles.

Rebecca Herzig, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Hi NoahKale, I took the liberty of resubmitting the draft on your behalf so I could accept it. There's enough coverage about her/her work, even if it is not cited in the article, that she meets notability. I still encourage you to create an article about Plucked. It's an easy pass. S0091 (talk) 19:30, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

That's great, thank you! I'm definitely interested in continuing to work on the Herzig article, and work on a Plucked one too. I really appreciate your advice through the process! NoahKale (talk) 19:33, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Anytime! To be honest I was disappointed another reviewer declined it given my comments made it clear additional sources exists and it was clear you were engaged. However, I had forgotten about it until you updated your User page today which popped up on my WP:Watchlist. If you need help, I suggest reaching out to WikiProject Women in Red which is a highly active project with helpful editors whose focus is expanding Wikipedia's coverage of women and related topics.
