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.

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Russia. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Mellk (talk) 17:32, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Maybe learn how to read before you accuse me of having insulted someone, because I have not. AlbrechtVonWallenstein (talk) 20:00, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

If you are calling other editors Putin's bots, that is a personal attack. Even now telling me learn how to read is a personal attack. If you still disagree and decide to continue, an administrator can take the appropriate action. Mellk (talk) 20:17, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

It is not an insult to others if I say that wikipedia is under attack by Russian bots. For instance, articles on the Russian Wikipedia concerning the MH17 crash and the Russo-Ukrainian War were targeted by Russian internet propaganda bots, and the English wikipedia article concerning Russia has also been under attack by Russian bots. It is not an insult because this statement is based on facts alone. AlbrechtVonWallenstein (talk) 20:48, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Unless you have solid evidence of this, you will need to retract this. Blindly claiming other editors are bots (which is not even the right word) without evidence is WP:CASTING ASPERSIONS Mellk (talk) 21:26, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Feel free to visit the wikipedia article concerning Russian bot attacks on Wikipedia. AlbrechtVonWallenstein (talk) 14:05, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm K.e.coffman. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Russia that didn't seem very civil. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please do not attack other editors based on their perceived national origin, as you did in this section. -- K.e.coffman (talk) 16:41, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

I have not attacked anyone based on their origin. I have merely mentioned their national origin and left the interpretation to other editors. AlbrechtVonWallenstein (talk) 19:00, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
