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.

== Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

recent edit

the photo for the recent event should be about the event itself, not a file photo. Augmented Seventh (talk) 16:14, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Abu Ali group

Hi, as mentioned above, pages related to the Arab-Israeli conflict (including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) are considered a contentious topic, and such pages should not be created by users with less than 500 edits, as navigating this kind of topic can be difficult for someone new to Wikipedia. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 17:06, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi, @Chaotic Enby, thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to follow this guideline as I get more familiar with Wikipedia. Appreciate your guidance. UnspokenPassion (talk) 12:58, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Islam in Europe

Hey, can you please edit the Islam in Europe page because I’m having trouble with the template. Ukraine should be 4-5 percent the same as Serbia/Italy. Moldova should also be coloured 1-2% like Croatia. Ireland is also 1-2% and should be coloured like Croatia. If you could do this I would appreciate it. 46.211.93.27 (talk) 16:38, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

prior acounts

Have you used any other account on Wikipedia? nableezy - 16:21, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

No, I haven't. Is there a particular reason you're asking? UnspokenPassion (talk) 19:29, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, this was your 565th edit, give or take. A complete article, with Harvard style citations. That level of proficiency is rare to see that early in one's editing. You also have a tone in your comments similar to another account I think may have been yours. But thank you for answering. nableezy - 13:51, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. UnspokenPassion (talk) 14:38, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

@Nableezy, which account? RodRabelo7 (talk) 03:14, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Referencing errors

Hi, I often correct sfn/harv no-target errors which you introduce to articles. An example is here. As you will see, I usually provide some helpful advice in my edit summaries that if followed would enable you to avoid making the same sort of mistakes. DuncanHill (talk) 17:13, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Well, shoot, I guess I messed up there. Still getting the hang of this sfn thing. I'll try to be more careful. Thank you, @DuncanHill. UnspokenPassion (talk) 11:45, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
