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.

Jesus Article

Hi there, I see you are making changes to the introduction of the Jesus article. The topic of your edit has already been discussed extensively at Talk:Jesus/Archive 134. May I advise you to please engage in discussion and reach a consensus before reverting other users edits or your contributions may be viewed as edit warring. Thanks, and have a good night.--Thebighomie123 (talk) 20:39, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

June 2022

Hello, I'm Dr.Pinsky. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Islam in Nicaragua, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Dr.Pinsky (talk) 07:50, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Islam has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Iskandar323 (talk) 08:07, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Islam in Mozambique

Hello, I noticed that your edits to Islam in Mozambique (here) includes text that is not mentioned in the sources. For example, while this source here by Deutsche Welledoes mention the presence of slave traders in East Africa, it makes no claim that they were one of the two factors involved with spreading Islam in Mozambique (it also doesn't even name the country). Your second source seems not to work and I therefore can't verify it. The last source which is a book, is about Kenya, not Mozambique. You also removed this existing source which is an academic article written by a Islamicist that specializes in East African Islam. I also plan to be place more academic sources. This source is more appropriate and actually backs what the text says. Be aware that I will likely revert your edit for the reasons cited. If I'm missing something here, please don't hesitate to reply. Thank you. SlackingViceroy (talk) 23:48, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

July 2022

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Jesus. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Both in my edit comment, and on the talk page discussion I pointed to the relevant guideline, MOS:OPEN, which explains the strict need for neutrality in the opening paragraph. Asserting that Jesus is a Christian figure and nothing else in that same opening paragraph is the opposite of neutral: it is a clearly biased point of view. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:52, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Kindly justify the changes you are making on the relevant article's talk page, not here. I have already given a detailed response there. RegardsNeplota (talk) 10:08, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Christianity

I don't see a good reason why you reverted the last edit. Temp0000002 (talk) 12:10, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Religion in Indonesia

Hi, I’m sorry I didn’t see a good reason why you deleted the edits previously. The content were already there previously, it has some sources and references too. It was just revised by another user to make it in the first opening. Please don’t do that again without providing a good reason. Thank you. Eustatius Strijder (talk) 23:43, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Moxy- 16:57, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Silly Question

When you said take "this" to the talk page what did you mean. Did you mean the whole infobox, specific info on the infobox the image? Greenhighwayconstruction (talk) 16:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

@Greenhighwayconstruction: the addition of the infobox to the article's lead has received opposition by several editors in the past, so it's better to take the matter to the talk page. Regards Neplota (talk) 16:30, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

thanks Greenhighwayconstruction (talk) 18:07, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 18:07, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Jesus Article

Hi, once again, I see you are making changes to the introduction of the Jesus article. The topic of your edit has already been discussed extensively at Talk:Jesus/Archive 134. May I advise you to please engage in discussion and reach a consensus before reverting other users edits or your contributions may be viewed as edit warring. Thebighomie123 (talk) 13:20, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Actually the current stable version of the article has been agreed upon on the talk page. See Talk:Jesus#Christians and the church. Regards Neplota (talk) 17:02, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes it has. But it's not the version that you are edit warring to change to. Try that nonsense again and I foresee that you won't be here long. DeCausa (talk) 17:16, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Neplota, please take this as the friendliest possible warning that you are in danger of violating WP:3RR. One more revert of any kind on Jesus within 20ish hours will have consequences. I see that you added a post to Talk:Jesus. As I do not currently see consensus for the 16-day-old edits that are now being contested-only a termination of discussion-please continue that discussion without further attempts to restore your edits, should they be removed again. An RFC would probably be the smartest, least time consuming option. See also WP:CON, especially WP:NOCON as well as WP:STABLE, which outline the difference between consensus and a discussion just ending, and why the concept of a "stable version" should not be referred to in this present discussion. Jtrevor99 (talk) 04:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

July 2022

Your recent editing history at Jesus shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. DeCausa (talk) 05:58, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Puerto Rico, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Symmachus Auxiliarus (talk) 02:35, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Religion in Kiribati

Hi. you have recently modified Kiribati by adding info that wasn’t exactly the same of the 2020 Census (files published June 2022), so I have reverted it and stated exactly what is written in the source. sorry for that and thanks again. Arorae (talk) 09:49, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

You cannot merge because it is too long (for you?) in Infobox, by adding potatoes and carrots together.--Arorae (talk) 11:36, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Relegon in Australia

Hi, this is my user page Regarding article on relegon in Australia, comment: Irish Catholics transported to Australia via the English criminal justice system, implies these were common criminals, where as most of these transportations were due to political activity such as the 1798 rebellions and later anti English political actions and not common criminal or treasonable acts as viewed by the English administration. This should be highlighted. 109.78.5.200 (talk) 05:25, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
