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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Gold Coast Youth Conference (September 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by HouseBlaster were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Additionally, we like to use secondary sources instead of primary sources in citations, to avoid original research.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Gold Coast Youth Conference and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

License tagging for File:YvonneOseiAdobea.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:YvonneOseiAdobea.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 08:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Esme Akosua Praah Siriboe

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Esme Akosua Praah Siriboe, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Ok

June 2024

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without evidence of permission. Please take this opportunity to ensure that you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 18:06, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please use the {{help me}} template appropriately.
The {{help me}} template is for help in using Wikipedia, not for unrelated issues. If you would like to ask such a question, replace the code {{help me-inappropriate}} on this page with {{help me}} to reactivate the help request. Alternatively, you can also ask your question at the Teahouse, the help desk, or join Wikipedia's Live Help IRC channel to get real-time assistance.

Request reason:

Your reason here Maame1Yaa (talk) 18:12, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Per below. If you have any future questions regarding copyright (or anything else), you can ask them at the Teahouse. Also, while this may just have been because you were copying organizations' own material and of course their own stuff will talk them up, please also be careful that your future edits are neutral and do not promote anyone or anything. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 00:14, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i understand that some of the linked i cited to the article i created are copyright infringements. i would take more care in the future to ensure the links i use do not infringe copyright rules

What do you understand copyright infringement to be, and how will you avoid it going forward? You may want to review our policy on copyright violations first. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 19:00, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you are no longer a user in good standing, I have revoked IPBE. --Yamla (talk) 22:02, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that you may reapply for IPBE once the very serious concerns about copyright are resolved. --Yamla (talk) 22:04, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright infringement is the use of writing or pictures protected by copyright without seeking the necessary permission to use it where it is required. I reviewed the Wikipedia copyright policy after I received the notice of the block and so now I am aware of what it entails.

You were not specific about what needs to change going forward. Be specific about what you understand you should not have done, and how that will change. Don't just say you understand it now, demonstrate that you do. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 16:40, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would use my own words to create articles, not just copy from the websites Maame1Yaa (talk) 19:36, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's half the issue, so that's progress. You would also need to stop uploading images you randomly found on the Web. It is very unlikely that an image you find elsewhere will have a license compatible with Wikipedia. Is that clear as well? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 22:32, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is
