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.

Changes at Sambhaji

Dude, that is not cool to just keep trying to make that change, and also nobody cares if documented history "hurts the sentiments" of any community. It's a very large world, and we can't just erase history because some people in Maharashtra dislike it.

If you have cogent arguments, make them on Talk, but you can't just try to force through your views. MatthewVanitas (talk) 00:29, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

@MatthewVanitas, Could you help me to Find Where in this reference has the Mention about Sambhaji's Sensual pleasure and Misbehave. There are numerous attempts by other users also to remove Controversial lines.

Article on Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj

Hi friend, I have observed that many people have tried to remove older, invalid references from the article of Sambhaji Maharaj which defame him.

But, 2 years ago, You were the only person who tried get the issue resolved through a constructive argument, and discussion. Although MatthewVanitas didn't agree to make those changes, still you gave your best to convince him. I really appreciate your efforts.

I am also an ardent follower of Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. I also tried to make some changes through constructive argument with editors such as MatthewVanitas, Bonadea and JonathanSammy but still they did not agree to my point of view. (You can view all those discussions on the talk page of Chatrapati Sambhaji's article).

Friend, I know you feel really bad when you see such defamation of our great beloved king. But I believe if we stay patient enough, we can definitely force a change in the article.

We will require a lot of new references about Sambhaji Maharaj. Which are not from novels such as Sambhaji and Chhava. Because wikipedia does not consider novels as an authentic source irrespective of their historical accuracy. I am trying to get access to references such as V.S.Bendre and Kamal Gokhle about Sambhaji. Which will give more strength to our argument.

If you get any such source then you please tell me about it. I have another new editor named Zeisteno2 with me who also wants to stop the defamation of our great king. If we go on building references and collecting them, then we will be able to force the changes in the article.

Even though we may not be able to force those changes in the main article immediately, I have started putting of new articles about Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's victorious campaigns and achievements. I have begun my work of putting his true history on Wikipedia. You can see them in the following link

Dear friend, I would like collaborate with you on the topic to make it sure that the true history of our king is put up on Wikipedia. I hope for your positive response and support. Thanks, cheers. Charvak157 (talk) 09:24, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
