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.

Amphicyonidae

I've reverted your change. All sources I've seen say Haeckel. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:17, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok the sources of who erected the Amphicyonidae are definitely inconsistent, because from I've seen, some sources of the Amphicyonidae [1] [2] [3] say that it was Trouessart in 1885 who erected the family, but according to some other sources [4] [5] [6], it was Haeckel in 1866 who erected the family. I must've read the source starting that it was the former, and so I've decided to investigate the respective primary sources. According to the German source "Generelle Morphologie der Organismen" (Volume 2) by Haeckel, he does recognize the family "Amphicyonida," but he recognizes two genera: Amphicyon and Hyaenodon. Now according to "Catalogue des mammiferes vivants et fossiles (carnivores)" by Trouessart, the subfamily "Amphicyoninae" is recognized under the Canidae family, although it recognizes more genera that are today defined as members of the Amphicyonidae family (and misidentifying the hemicyonines as amphicyonines).

So as a result, I was incorrect, my apologies, but this is the result of using sources that state the Amphicyonidae as being originally erected by Trouessart. PrimalMustelid (talk) 13:34, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Diplobune

		The Bio-star
		Diplobune is an excellent, excellent article – well done! Have you considered nominating it for DYK? Edward-Woodrow :) _[talk] 12:07, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the barnstar, I really appreciate it! I'm definitely going to consider nominating it for DYK, likely going for the fact that unlike other "even-toed ungulates," all species of Diplobune had entirely three-toed feet! PrimalMustelid (talk) 13:37, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Enhydriodon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Suid. 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.)

DYK for Diplobune

On 16 October 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Diplobune, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the three-toed species of Diplobune (fossils pictured) were mammals of the order of "even-toed ungulates"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Diplobune. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Diplobune), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Ballet

You just approved Appalachian Spring for DYK, and I looked at the nomination for the first time. Of the hooks, I find the original the weakest, tickling "Indian girl" a bit but not even supplying the knowledge that it is a ballet. Yes, it's an iconic ballet, and many reader will know that it's one of Copland's most successful compositions, but isn't the Main page for other readers as well? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:17, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ps: The other hooks have the same problem of not saying what it is, but the original has the extra load of "Indian" - do we even say that without quotation marks in 2023? - And without context, it would mean "from India". - I'd chose the "Simple gifts" hook, as including substantially the spirit of the work, while the original just says what it is not. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:22, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I did choose the "Indian girl" fun fact because I thought that cut content of famous works are interesting, and in hindsight, I didn't think about asking the nominator to correct the term to "Native American" for more preciseness. I decided to roll with that one initially because the reviewer suggested that either that hook or the popularity one was interesting, and I thought that the details of the latter one could be interpreted too differently from how it reads in the main text. The counted text count is 149 words, so the hook would probably need a rework if we change "Indian girl" to "Native American girl." Pinging @theleekycauldron for input and possible reworks of the hook.

Regarding the gifts hook, I'm not completely sure if it is consistent with what is suggest in the article's text. The article says, "Shaker themes are also heavily present in Appalachian Spring. This idea is found in the original "House of Victory" script, where the Pioneer Woman is said to sit in a 'Shaker rocking chair.'" Not to mention also that the reviewer considered the hook "less interesting."

By the way, we can just discuss these issues in the talk page of the DYK page instead of in my talk page. PrimalMustelid (talk) 09:09, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Anoplotherium

On 11 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Anoplotherium, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1822, the Paleogene mammal Anoplotherium commune (reconstruction pictured) was the first fossil species to be subjected to a brain cast study? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Anoplotherium. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Anoplotherium), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Gordo, we hardly knew ye

Hello, and I come by to ask that you please reconsider your close of the merge discussion at Gordo (dinosaur). Gordo has many notable points in his favor. He is one of the two largest specimens of his species, is the most complete specimen of the species, is the largest dinosaur fossil in Canada, and is the showcase fossil of the Royal Ontario Museum (even mounted to be exhibited through the second floor series of museum windows). These seem a formidable foursome.

The close per "majority consensus" brings up an unusual fact: the members of Wikipedia's dinosaur project seem to object to additional stand-alone fossil pages. Their possible "I don't like it" reasoning, that everything in the Gordo page is already on the merge target page, diminishes the addition of very good new sources and text by Econterms, as well as the promise of new photographs, made and taken during an edit-a-thon at the museum during the recent North American Wikimedia Conference. It was nice observing Gordo with Econterms and meeting a young librarian from the UK whose panoramic photo of Gordo will be a nice addition to the page, or any page on dinosaur specimens and who expressed a longtime interest in becoming a Wikipedian. Would also like to point out that editor Bluerasberry was shown the changes and additional sourced material as they were being added, and quickly, through keen eye and site discernment, recognized that a save had taken place. This save would likely apply to probably most mainspace articles outside of a local consensus, and I'd ask that you consider re-judging it accordingly. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:43, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the merge proposal. Please also see Gordo's talk page for the 2017 close to mainspace as well as the shiny 2023 North American Wikimedia Conference improvement template. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:47, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Mrs. Brisby

On 1 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mrs. Brisby, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the mouse protagonist Mrs. Brisby from The Secret of NIMH had her name changed because of a trademark issue from a toy named "Frisbee"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mrs. Brisby. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Mrs. Brisby), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Re: The image for Bonfire (Dark Souls)

There is already a previously uploaded image of a Bonfire used for the article that exists at Soulsborne. You may want to use it instead, adding a new rationale, and remove the newer one as redundant. If you disagree let me know, but I do think the old one's original Firelink background is a bit more evocative than DSIII's ash pit :P ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:55, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, there! Originally, I was going to consider using the Dark Souls III image because it was the latest rendition of one, was later going to replace the Dark Souls I image if necessary. However, you may have a point about the iconicity of the original Dark Souls bonfire. Very well, I reused the Dark Souls I image with a new rationale and had the Dark Souls III set up as an orphan-based deletion. PrimalMustelid (talk) 11:03, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi PrimalMustelid. Thank you for your work on Research history of Palaeotherium. Another editor, Aszx5000, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Very high quality work (and interesting article); you should be autopatrolled.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Aszx5000}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Aszx5000 (talk) 16:35, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled granted

Hi PrimalMustelid, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede 66 21:23, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Editing Template:Taxonomy/Hippomorpha

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Editing Template:Taxonomy/Hippomorpha, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It covers a topic on which we already have an article - Template:Taxonomy/Hippomorpha. (See section A10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Template:Taxonomy/Hippomorpha, or to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi there. If you don’t mind me asking, is there a reason for a deletion of the Hippomorpha taxonomy template page? This is mainly intended to be for use for the brontothere and possibly equoid taxonomy template pages. PrimalMustelid (talk) 04:38, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because the page already exists at Template:Taxonomy/Hippomorpha, and you created a duplicate with an incorrectly formatted namespace (note that "Editing Template" is not a valid namespace). CycloneYoris ^talk! 04:46, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. My apologies, I should’ve noticed, but I was preparing some taxonomy stuff as I was heading to bed. I already contested it before your message, so I seemingly can’t retract it. PrimalMustelid (talk) 04:50, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. The patrolling admin will likely notice the error and delete the page. CycloneYoris ^talk! 04:59, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
