Hello, John Tenis, 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of churches in Chennai, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages St. Mary's Church, Church of Our Lady of Light and Armenian Street. 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.)

Gothic Revival architecture

[edit]

Hi - I know it is tempting to add pictures of your favourite building to architecture pages like Gothic Revival architecture, but the problem is that they end up with large, picture-book style, galleries that don’t add much for the general reader. We have six examples already of GR churches in Asia, including one from India. The one you’re trying to add, doesn’t bring anything new or different to the ones that are there already. If you really think it should be there, I’d suggest you start a discussion on the Talkpage. All the best, KJP1 (talk) 12:09, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I am sorry John Tenis (talk) 12:15, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
