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.

Hi Donchocolate! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Dawnseeker2000 18:23, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Donchocolate: I am politely asking that you refrain from any further disruptive editing. This includes marking your changes as "minor" when making substantial changes to Wikipedia articles. This flag is reserved for actual minor changes, such as a typographical correction. This is not intended to be used when introducing new content to any article. Furthermore it is not necessary to reference the distance to/from Gwalior in the lede of so many unrelated articles. If this pattern continues please be aware that your account will be blocked from further editing. Please let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 19:04, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Utcursch. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sasbahu Temple, Gwalior, 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. utcursch | talk 23:17, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Utcrusch, please refer the citation 43 for your reference. Donchocolate (talk) 04:12, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Gwalior, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please do not add content without sources. Thanks. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:11, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most of what you have added don't have accompanying sources. The sources you added for the nicknames are not reliable, "Exotic India" for example. Also do not edit war, instead discuss in the talk page, we can have a WP:CONSENSUS. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:11, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then what are the reliable sources if books are not the reliable source? Donchocolate (talk) 12:31, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which book? You'll find books here. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:10, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Todar Mal. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Selective removal of sourced content related to caste and POV-pushing in order to promote one particular caste (violating WP:NPOV) and further marking the edit as minor, is equivalent to vandalism. You may be blocked from editing if you continue! Ekdalian (talk) 18:23, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Mahadaji Shinde, you may be blocked from editing. Sam Sailor 10:52, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then why don't you provide the verified citation regarding the correct dynasty and place of order or a legal notice would suffice. Let the court decide. Donchocolate (talk) 12:00, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Atal Bihari Vajpayee, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victoria College. 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) 19:55, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of discretionary sanctions

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in South Asian social groups. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Rani of Jhansi

Hello, You need to explain on the Talk page of that article whether the kind of changes you have been making have some evidence in favour of them before doing them. Other editors can then comment on that. Johnsoniensis (talk) 14:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024

Hello, I'm Yamaguchi先生. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Kuno National Park, 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. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 15:38, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yamaguchi, I have provided the reliable website of Kuno National Park as the reference. Kindly check Donchocolate (talk) 16:23, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Donchocolate- The website that you linked doesn't meet our threshold as a reliable source. Is there any particular reason that you're inserting what amounts to trivial mentions of Gwalior to so many articles? Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 18:54, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Jiwajirao Scindia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted.
