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

Hello, Arkady2512, 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.

  Hello, I'm Wham2001. I noticed that you removed topically relevant content from Voronezh radar. However, Wikipedia is not censored. Please do not remove or censor information that directly relates to the subject of the article. If the content in question involves images, you have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. This also applies to secrecy censorship: see WP:NOTCENSORED. Wham2001 (talk) 10:04, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Voronezh radar. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Your unmotivated speed delete tagging is also disruptive. If you carry on like this you will likely be blocked from editing.

  Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Voronezh radar, you may be blocked from editing. Renewal6 (talk) 10:11, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Stop adding blank speedy deletion tags

edit

Stop adding speedy deletion tags to those two article. They will not be deleted unless you explain why they should be deleted. You should review WP:CSD. I do not believe any of the criteria apply. You will probably need to use WP:AFD to get the articles deleted. ~ GB fan 10:14, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
