Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

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?

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.

Comparison of BitTorrent clients

I have reverted your edit on Comparison of BitTorrent clients. To my opinion it is spam. Your addition is fully based on related sources, not on independent reliable sources. Beside that: external links should not be present in plain text. The Banner talk 10:19, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Nomination of Comparison of XMPP clients for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Comparison of XMPP clients, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of XMPP server software until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Context switch, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. David Biddulph (talk) 12:12, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Twomithe! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at List of unsolved problems in philosophy that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very 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. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Quote outside of cite

In your recent <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Context_switch&diff=prev&oldid=1127013213#cite_ref-1> edit to Context switch, which David Biddulph reverted, you added several paragraphs to a <ref>...</ref> but outside of the {{cite book|quote=}} and, in fact ,entirely outside of the {{cite book}}. Did that text come from Comer and, if not, was it intended to follow the </ref>? Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 13:36, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
