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

Hello, Holmart, 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.

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. 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. Please stop adding full text of sources against consensus and in violation of WP:NOFULLTEXT. Also, your accusation of "digital cleansing" or your demand that "practising Hindus" need to approve edits to Wikipedia are absurd. If you continue this way, you'll find your account blocked.kashmīrī TALK 16:59, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. — kashmīrī TALK 17:22, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Also, IAR does not apply when other editors object to your edit and revert it. Your responsibility at that point is to start a discussion on the article talk page and seek consensus for your edit. Ravensfire (talk) 18:47, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
got it, i will do that Holmart (talk) 05:22, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. You've been asked to stop edit warring.kashmīrī TALK 22:02, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

ok, but you haven't addressed my arguments, why is the WP:NOFULLTEXT not applied to psalms like this one which has text in Hebrew and English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_88. So your argument to remove the text is hypocritical. Holmart (talk) 22:08, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
