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.

The validity of your sources in Gim (food) edit

Sorry, my message in the article's revision history was cut off. We should perhaps have the further discussion in the article's talk page.

Please consult WP:VERIFY. It states that the responsibility to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds the information. And that the supporting sources must "directly" support the information presented. This means the sources must directly state that the sheet form of nori was introduced from Japan to Korea.

I have previously checked your sources multiple times, but I couldn't find any statement directly or explicitly stating that nori's sheet form was introduced from Japan to Korea. They only discussed on how nori's sheet form was made during Edo period. Can you provide the passage from the sources that directly support your claim in either talk page or my mail (if it's the scan of the book's page) at iwantramyeon@naver.com? I've even looked up Wikipedia's Nori article, but couldn't find such information.

Nori and Gim are distinct dishes. Both dishes likely had distinct developments including their sheet forms. Gim was already referred numerousn times as sea cloth or sheet at least by the early Joseon before Edo period as explained in this page. Just merely because Japanese made the sheet form of nori similar to gim in Edo period doesn't mean you can speculate that nori must have been introduced to Korea. Speculating the fact is original research as outlined in Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard and disallowed. It is also outlined in WP:FICTREF that the meaning of the source text cannot differ significantly from the information claimed in the Wikipedia's page.
