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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Wiki1957BOT", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is a WP:BOTNAME. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 11:58, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Jamia Millia Islamia has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

I also had to remove some content from Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Jamia Millia Islamia for the same copyright reasons. Please take a moment to review out copyright policies, linked to you above by Dr.Pinsky. Thanks, /wiae /tlk 00:20, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding copyrighted content to articles

Hello, I have had to remove your additions to Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Jamia Millia Islamia once again, since your additions introduced text that was copied and pasted from copyrighted sources. Wikipedia's copyright policy is very clear on this: the text you add to articles must be written in your own words. Please do not continue to copy and paste text into Wikipedia. Let me know if you need help understanding or applying this policy. Thanks, /wiae /tlk 13:17, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's not copyrighted. It's from University that mostly public view Wiki1957BOY (talk) 15:53, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for discussing—working through these sorts of things through discussion is an important part of how Wikipedia works! If you check the bottom of the following pages: https://www.jmi.ac.in/aboutjamia/departments/environmentalscience/introduction; https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/bsc-degree-in-aeronautics-at-jamia/articleshow/59798876.cms; and https://www.jmi.ac.in/NAAC/self_study_report.pdf, you'll see that they either say "copyrighted" or do not provide a suitable license for our use. WP:COPYOTHERS says that All creative works are copyrighted, by international agreement, unless either they fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed, and that applies here too. Unless the university explicitly licenses its content in a way that Wikipedia can use, we unfortunately can't include it in Wikipedia articles. As in most cases, the best way for you to proceed here would be for you to rewrite the content in your own words. Keep in mind that Wikipedia also adheres to a neutral point of view; we are not here to advertise the university, but rather to factually and dispassionately describe it to readers. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, /wiae /tlk 15:59, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki1957BOY, you have once again added copyrighted content to Jamia Millia Islamia that I have had to remove. Please stop copying and pasting content into Wikipedia articles—this is against our copyright policy. If this doesn't stop then I will request administrator intervention. /wiae /tlk 20:52, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Timothy, I created the page for upcoming new football event to be held from 26 January 2023. AIFF announced the fixtures and schedule on 2nd January, 2023. I have attached the link https://www.the-aiff.com/article/twenty-teams-to-participate-in-maiden-hero-national-beach-soccer-championship Wiki1957BOY (talk) 13:13, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

National Beach Soccer Championship moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, National Beach Soccer Championship, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
