-Most successful edit requests are highly specific, and include citations to high-quality [[WP:RS|reliable]], [[WP:IS|independent]] sources. They are also uncontroversial changes, or they have already been supported by [[WP:CONSENSUS|consensus]] elsewhere on the talk page. For additional guidance around planning an edit request, and ensuring that they are specific, uncontroversial, necessary, and sensible, see [[Wikipedia:Edit requests#General considerations]].
+Dear en.wikipedia.org Team,
-Here are some examples of such requests that you can modify for your own use:
+I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request your assistance in replacing a broken link on with a new link to our website, https://examsabi.com/the-brand-bible/
-== Quick fixes ==
-For the purposes of this example, let's say there is an article titled "Dog", which currently contains this sentence in the "Anatomy" section:
-{{blockquote|Modern [[dog breed]]s show more variation in size, apperance and behavior than any other domestic animal.{{dummy reference}}}}

-{{quote frame|
-{{Edit semi-protected|demo=yes}}
-There is a typo in the "Anatomy" section, where it says "Modern dog breeds show more variation in size, apperance and behavior than any other domestic animal." "Appearance" has been misspelled. {{dummy signature}}
-}}
+If you require any further information or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. We are more than willing to assist with this transition and ensure that the new link works seamlessly on your platform.
-This is a high-quality edit request because it provides a specific location of the error, and points out specifically what the error is. This level of specificity is more useful than "There is a typo in this article", even if the typo appears obvious.
+Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. We look forward to your positive response and a successful update of the link on YouTube.
-== Introducing new information ==
-For the purposes of this example, let's say there is an article titled "Bird", which currently consists of two sentences:
+Best regards,
-{{blockquote|'''Birds''' are vertebrates.{{dummy reference}} They have feathers.{{dummy reference}}}}
+[Nobe]
-An example edit request to add new information:
-{{quote frame|
-{{Edit semi-protected|demo=yes}}
-Add to the first sentence that birds evolved from dinosaurs. See [https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/140925-bird-dinosaur-evolution-burst-science "Birds Evolved From Dinosaurs Slowly—Then Took Off"] from ''National Geographic'' ("Birds evolved from dinosaurs in patchwork fashion over tens of millions of years before finally taking to the skies some 150 million years ago, paleontologists report.") and [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982215009458 "The Origin and Diversification of Birds"] from ''Current Biology'' ("It is now widely accepted, even by ornithologists, that birds evolved from dinosaurs..."). Suggested wording with citations:
-'''Birds''' are vertebrates that evolved from [[dinosaur]]s.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Vergano |first1=Dan |title=Birds Evolved From Dinosaurs Slowly—Then Took Off |url=https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/140925-bird-dinosaur-evolution-burst-science |website=[[National Geographic]] |language=en |date=25 September 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Brusatte|first1=Stephen L.|last2=O'Connor|first2=Jingmai K.|last3=Jarvis|first3=Erich D.|title=The Origin and Diversification of Birds |journal=[[Current Biology]] |date=October 2015 |volume=25 |issue=19 |pages=R888–R898 |doi=10.1016/j.cub.2015.08.003}}</ref>
-{{dummy signature}}
-{{reftalk}}
-}}
-This is a high-quality edit request because it provides a specific change, including the location in the article where the information ought to be added. The requester also provided two high-quality reliable sources, with links to them and direct quotes showing that they support the suggested change. Finally, the requester provided the specific wording and wikimarkup they thought ought to be used, complete with inline citations which they [[WP:INTREF3|formatted with citation templates using RefToolbar]]. The usage of the {{tl|reftalk}} template allows these to render directly in the edit request so they are easily visible to people who respond to the edit request, and do not obstruct other talk page comments by rendering in the default location at the bottom of the page.
-'''Note''': These kinds of changes can be the type of edit that would need consensus before it could be implemented, so when making possibly contentious changes you should consider beginning a discussion ''without'' the edit request template first, and then use the template once consensus is reached if you need someone to help you implement the change.

-Add to the first sentence that birds evolved from dinosaurs. See [https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/140925-bird-dinosaur-evolution-burst-science "Birds Evolved From Dinosaurs Slowly—Then Took Off"] from ''National Geographic'' ("Birds evolved from dinosaurs in patchwork fashion over tens of millions of years before finally taking to the skies some 150 million years ago, paleontologists report.") and [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982215009458 "The Origin and Diversification of Birds"] from ''Current Biology'' ("It is now widely accepted, even by ornithologists, that birds evolved from dinosaurs...").

-== Changing content ==
-For the purposes of this example, let's say there is an article titled "Pluto", which currently consists of the sentence:
-{{blockquote|'''Pluto''' is a planet in the [[Kuiper belt]].}}
-An example edit request to change information:
-{{quote frame|
-{{Edit semi-protected|demo=yes}}
-After the [[IAU definition of planet|IAU definition of ''planet'']] in 2006, Pluto was reclassified as a [[dwarf planet]]. This is not made clear in the sentence "Pluto is a planet in the [[Kuiper belt]]", which should be rephrased to clarify that Pluto is a dwarf planet. This can be sourced to [https://www.iau.org/public/themes/pluto/ "Pluto and the Developing Landscape of Our Solar System"] by the International Astronomical Union (IAU): "The IAU Resolution means that the Solar System officially consists of eight planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. A new distinct class of objects called dwarf planets was also decided on. It was agreed that planets and dwarf planets are two distinct classes of objects. The first members of the dwarf planet category are Ceres, Pluto and Eris, formerly known as 2003 UB313." It is also supported by [https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/dwarf-planets-pluto-ceres "Pluto"] by ''National Geographic'': "The world was introduced to dwarf planets in 2006, when petite Pluto was stripped of its planet status and reclassified as a dwarf planet.". Suggested wording with citations:

-This is a high-quality edit request because it provides a specific change in the format of [[WP:EDITXY|"change '''X''' to '''Y'''"]]. The requester also provided two high-quality reliable sources, with links to them and direct quotes showing that they support the suggested change.

-== Deleting content ==
-For the purposes of this example, let's say there is an article titled "Bird", which currently consists of two sentences:
-{{blockquote|'''Birds''' are vertebrates.{{dummy reference}} All birds can fly.}}
-An example edit request to delete information:
-{{quote frame|1=
-{{Edit semi-protected|demo=yes}}
-Remove the sentence "All birds can fly". It is unsourced, and it is not accurate. According to page 300 of [https://www.google.com/books/edition/Ornithology/jN5wDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=flightless+birds&pg=PA300&printsec=frontcover ''Ornithology: Foundation, Analysis, and Application''], "Though we often associate birds with flight, flightless birds are actually rather common..." {{dummy signature}}
-}}
-This is a high-quality edit request because it specifies exactly which text ought to be removed, and why. Note that the requester included a source describing why the text is inaccurate, which shows that it ought to be removed entirely—in some cases, unsourced text simply needs to be sourced.
-'''Note''': These kinds of changes can be the type of edit that would need consensus before it could be implemented, so when making possibly contentious changes you should consider beginning a discussion ''without'' the edit request template first, and then use the template once consensus is reached if you need someone to help you implement the change.
