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?

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.
Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
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.
Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
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).
In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
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.

Dendrocnide moroides

Hi Geranium1001. I've reverted your edit on the subject page for two reasons - first, it wasn't supported with a citation, and secondly it changed the meaning of the paragraph it was inserted into. Thanks for your interest in this topic, but please ensure your edits are properly supported. Cheers Junglenut |Talk 09:05, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Steller sea lion, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Washington, Northern Pacific and First Nations. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:43, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May 2023

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Another Gay Movie, 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. DonIago (talk) 17:16, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit on Callistemon

@Geranium1001 Hi. I have rolled back your edit on this page because, while it has some good information on the cultivation of this group of plants, you put it under the "Description" section. Please see WP:PLANTS for the recommended structure of plant articles. Secondly you did not provide any references for the info you added (I note that the above message also mentioned this - please take this advice seriously). References are an important part of the Wikipedia project, giving it credibility. If you want to add that information to the article again, please do so but put it the correct place within the article and add one or more references. Cheers, Steve Junglenut |Talk 00:57, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:CURLY

Please do not use curly quotes in Wikipedia per our manual of style; use standard ("") quotes instead. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 02:40, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, please use Wiki formatting instead of HTML tags. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:10, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Desperado

Thank you for your contributions at Desperado (roller coaster), but some of the changes in your recent edits were not supported by inline citations. You also wrote from a non-neutral perspective. I have made some corrections and added "citation needed" tags for now. However, if reliable sources are not cited in the near future, these claims will be removed. Please take the time to learn why citations are important for most statements, as I see you've already been warned about this. If you need help, consider asking questions at the Teahouse. Thank you. --GoneIn60 (talk) 10:19, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Snowsheeptrio.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Snowsheeptrio.png. 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) 17:21, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable non-free use File:Jonnymcgovernheadshot.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Jonnymcgovernheadshot.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:04, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

July 2023

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Garnet, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:37, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding "stuff you know". Wikipedia does not accept original research. Please stop. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:46, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Nilgai, you may be blocked from editing. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:44, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Zefr (talk) 22:45, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
