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.

Bankman-Fried

Any reason you keep deleting the fact that SBF is Jewish? Plenty of articles on Wiki mention ethnicity... almost all, in fact. Nswix (talk) 23:37, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

See:

Albert Einstein, Ben Shapiro, George Soros...

literally any article. Nswix (talk) 23:40, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

1) It was already discussed. 2) No sources to the effect. 3) If true, it would be irrelevant in his case, given that he doesn't identify as such (nor his family). First, find a good source and then we can discuss. Cartago3468 (talk) 23:42, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

link to the discussion in which this concensus was reached? Nswix (talk) 23:49, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

See the "Talk" page. I lean towards excluding this information, but may change my mind. Anyways, it is an interesting point to discuss and reach consensus about. (Much better than you adding and me deleting) Cartago3468 (talk) 23:56, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

@Nswix: Here's a qualified source: Sam Bankman-Fried: The rise and fall of the Jewish king of crypto. Please go ahead and add to the article, the whitewashing or whatever this is is ridiculous. Dahn (talk) 18:17, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Important notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Other accounts?

Hi Cartago3468,

Please provide a list of other accounts (previously or currently) used by you for editing Wikipedia, or a credible explanation why not doing so is compatible with the sockpuppetry policy.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:32, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

This is my one and only account. I was the one who asked SBF article to be protected. Best regards Cartago3468 (talk) 20:40, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay, no worries then. And yes, that's how I stumbled upon your contributions of course. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:11, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Avoiding an edit war in the article about Sam Bankman-Fried

Thank you very much for requesting protection of the article about Sam Bankman-Fried, and for discussing the matter on the article's talk page. This is already the right path to take and commendable; the following advice is just a standardized way of making sure that you are aware of the policy.

I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of the article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Sam Bankman-Fried, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war.

All the best,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:35, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Asking for a third opinion was a good step, thank you very much. And while generally the onus is on those favoring inclusion, that's not a justification for edit warring by itself. I should have pointed that out before, though. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 07:04, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
