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.

Orphaned non-free image File:Sharjah aerial view 2021.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Sharjah aerial view 2021.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:01, 28 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

June 2022 edit

  Hello, I'm Arjayay. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sabyasachi Chakrabarty, 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. - Arjayay (talk) 08:53, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Raka (film director) moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Raka (film director), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Blocked as a sockpuppet edit

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:Musicfaneditor per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Musicfaneditor. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  -- RoySmith (talk) 17:31, 8 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Proudly Indian09 (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Dear User:RoySmith I do not own multiple accounts nor I am associated with User:Musicfaneditor. You have mistakenly blocked me. Hence I request you to unblock me, or I have to raise complain against you for blocking me for sockpuppetry based on your assumption. Proudly Indian09 (talk) 09:21, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

It's not an assumption. It's based on evidence, which this request does not address. Every sock puppet says they aren't one, so that is insufficient. Even if you personally only have this account, that would make this meat puppetry. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 10:50, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

331dot & User:RoySmith I am reiterating that, I do not have any other accounts, nor I am associated with the abovementioned blocked user. If there is any similarities of contribution history between me and the blocked user, it is purely coincidence. Based on assumption I have been blocked. If you have proof that I am involved with the mentioned account, show me the evidence. Unless, I will raise complain against all those users who will decline my unblock request.

Decline reason:

Checkuser verified abuser of multiple accounts. I've also reblocked one of your other accounts that I unblocked. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 15:16, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

You are already free to review the SPI. You will have to do better than "it's not me" and "it's a coincidence" as all socks say that. 331dot (talk) 15:10, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

331dot what kind of proof you need to prove myself of not being involved with User:Musicfaneditor? If you need proof then come to my country, face me off in the court. I will prove you that I am not involved with the mentioned account neither I am involved in any wrongdoing on Wikipedia. In reply, you have to face a harassment case for harassing me this way.
@--jpgordon, 331dot, User:RoySmith You did not do well blocking my main account User:ImSonyR9! Since you unblocked that account, I have not been involved in any kind of abusive or unconstructive edits neither from that account nor from this account. Despite that you have blocked both the account. Well, I do not want to waste time arguing about this. Just want to say, Without me, Wikiproject Cricket, Some Stub and C class articles (related to India) development would hugely be impacted, as I was working to to develop those poorly written or sourced articles. Even Wikiproject Cricket is left with only a few editors. Again, I am not connected with User:Musicfaneditor. I have only two accounts, this one & User:ImSonyR9. Except those, I do not own anyother account. Really frustrated to see how poorly I have been treated despite contributing to Wikipedia for its development for several years. Good bye Wikipedia!

Your draft article, Draft:Raka (film director) edit

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
