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.

June 2020

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Stop inserting random images in multiple city montages. None of them are an improvement and is considered disruptive editing. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 07:29, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to List of Indian states and territories by Human Development Index. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Vibhss (talk) 18:42, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

July 2020

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at List of administrative divisions of Greater China by Human Development Index, you may be blocked from editing.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:25, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 days for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

PixelNow (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Please unblock me as I have used 100% factual information

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 11:14, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

October 2020

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Pune, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Prolix 💬 15:45, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia. AppalachianCentrist (talk) 16:25, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pixelnow, you made 30 or 40 edits today to the lead image of articles about cities. Every edit has been reverted. I want to make sure you know what you did wrong: You changed the name of the image (the line that ends in .jpg). Don't do that. It messes things up. You did the same thing in September, and again they all had to be reverted. Do yourself and us a favor: don't ever try to edit the photo caption of an article again. Because you don't know what you are doing. I just want to reinforce the warning above: if you do this kind of thing again, now or in the future, you will be blocked from editing. -- MelanieN (talk) 21:04, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

~~I warned you not to try to edit the picture captions on city articles. You do not know what you are doing there.~~ Actually, looking again, you have not been changing the captions; you have been changing the lead pictures to other, less appropriate pictures. That is disruptive; stop doing it. This one-week block is your last warning. The next block will be permanent. -- MelanieN (talk) 23:31, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
