Hello, संयुक्त अरब अमीरात, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.



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.

Previous accounts

[edit]

Please list the previous accounts you are using or have used at Wikipedia. You are obviously not new user, given your ability to do intricate edits such as addition of new columns in an existing table. The use of multiple accounts is permitted under certain circumstances, but you must be transparent about them and declare them. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 19:17, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed these 20 edits adding one digit at a time to your sandbox, before blanking it in the last edit. Going for the next level of user privilege, I presume? Mathglot (talk) 03:14, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Look, I'm just here to constructively edit pages in which I feel need improvement. If I made a poor edit, I usually revert it. Please do not try to micromanage me. You have better things to do. I'm not a vandal, to the best of my knowledge and I do my best not to fall in that category. So yes, please focus your energies elsewhere and stop worrying how I edit my sandbox. संयुक्त अरब अमीरात (talk) 14:05, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I used the visual editor to modify the tables. It makes it much easier than it would to manually code all that in. संयुक्त अरब अमीरात (talk) 15:48, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

[edit]

The material you recently added to List of Indian states and union territories by Human Development Index was unsourced; I have removed it. Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's WP:Verifiability policy, and guidelines on the use of citations to reliable sources. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 19:59, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. संयुक्त अरब अमीरात (talk) 14:08, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
