Welcome!

Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.  

Hello, Tpafla82, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.

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?
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.


Thanks especially for updating our Hunger article with the 2012 FAO report. If you're especially interested in that article, you might want to look and possibly even respond to the comment I just added to the article's talk page. FeydHuxtable (talk) 18:02, 4 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ha! The communities always busy, although not often on the big articles relating to global dev. You're quite (un)lucky to have edited one being watched by a semi active editor. Often you can make whatever changes you like to that sort of article and they'll stick for years. Whereas there are many articles about relatively trivial things with scores of editors haveing endless discussions about what to say. Anyhow, happy editing!

WFP Innovation Accelerator moved to draftspace

edit

Thanks for your contributions to WFP Innovation Accelerator. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because Sending to draft as an WP:ATD. I removed the initial WP:COAT that was promoting one of the participants. A WP:BEFORE search only finds one useful reference that could meet WP:ORGCRIT, but on further observation, it was written by a freelance writer and NOT a staff writer of NPR. . I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. CNMall41 (talk) 21:36, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
