What are the four general rules at Wikipedia?

The four general rules are to respect your fellow Wikipedians, remain neutral, cite your sources, and to ignore a rule if it prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia.

How do I edit a page?

1. Click 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' on the top of the page that you want to edit.
2. Make your changes in the edit window.
3. Preview your changes by clicking the 'Show preview' button.
4. Click the 'Save page' button.

See Wikipedia:How to edit a page for more detailed information.

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.

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?

Please use the Article Wizard to create one, then add references to the article as explained below.

What are references, sources, and citations all about?

All claims must be supported by a book, website, or news organization independent of the subject of the article. The source must be reliable, meaning it cannot be a blog, MySpace page, or personal website. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to prove that an inaccurate statement is true, and that it should stay in the article. The policy regarding this states that the statement has to be verifiable, not necessarily true. See Wikipedia:Verifiability for more information.

How do I insert a reference into an article?

For inline references:

1. Do a search on Ask.com, Google, or your preferred search engine for the subject of the article that you want to put a reference in.
2. Click 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' in the Wikipedia article, and insert a claim into that article stating a fact about the subject. Don't click the save button just yet.
3. In the search you did in step 1, find a website that supports the claim you made in step 2. Highlight the address in the address bar (where it says http://www.some-website.com/some-page.htm).
4. Go to the reference generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out the as many fields as you can. Then click 'Get reference wiki text'.
5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text.
6. In the article, after the claim you made in step 2, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied in step 5.
7. If the article does not have a References, Footnotes, Notes, or Bibliography section, then add this below the See Also section and above the External Links section:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

For references put at the end of an article:

1. Do a search on Ask.com, Google, or your preferred search engine for the subject of the article that you want to put a reference in.
2. In the search, find a website that supports the claims made in the article. Highlight the address in the address bar (where it says http://www.some-website.com/some-page.htm).
3. Go to the reference generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out the as many fields as you can. Then click 'Get reference wiki text'.
4. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text.
5. Go to the Wikipedia article. If the article does not have a References, Footnotes, Notes, or Bibliography section, then add this below the See Also section and above the External Links section:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

Then, add this after the {{Reflist}}, in a new line:

{{Refbegin}}
*Press paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) after this asterisk, then remove the <ref></ref> tags

{{Refend}}

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. If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

How do I format text on Wikipedia?

Seijiō Kōyama

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed you created a page on Hachiko Monogatari. Thanks for doing that. You also, however, also went to Seijirō Kōyama and changed all the macrons into circumflexes. Please don't do that. Macrons are the norm on Wikipedia. Also, please check other citations on Wikipedia or IMDb before creating a page. "Hachikō Monogatari" or "Hachi-ko (film)" were actually had more numerous citations than "Hachiko Monogatari" and probably should have been the page title. IMDb gives the official English title as "Hachi-ko." I went through and added re-directs for all of these.Michitaro (talk) 14:03, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

{{Helpme}} I want to send a private message to User:Michitaro. User talk:Michitaro does not have E-mail this user option in Toolbox. Thank you! P.PradeepRaj (talk) 14:38, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Unless they choose to enable email, there is nothing you can do; and having that enabled is entirely optional.

I suggest you put a message on their talk page, User talk:Michitaro, asking if they would mind enabling the email in their preferences.  Chzz  ►  15:07, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi again. Glad to see your enthusiasm for this Japanese film (I'm a big fan of Japanese movies too). But I did have to cut what are called "peacock terms" from the text for Hachiko Monogatari. Please note for future reference that such terminology does not match Wikipedia's aim of being neutral and verifiable. See WP:WORDS, WP:NPOV, or WP:V. You yourself can not write that a film is the "greatest" in the article (you must remain neutral); at best, you can only quote an authoritative third-person source who says that.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
