User talk:GOG88

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

Hello, GOG88, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.

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.

November 2022

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to Ghana Football Association, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 02:31, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Ghana Football Association. Your edits continue to appear to constitute vandalism and have been automatically reverted.

• If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
• ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
• If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place {{Help me}} on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.
• The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Ghana Football Association was changed by GOG88 (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.914566 on 2022-11-10T03:01:38+00:00

Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 03:01, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Ghana Football Association, you may be blocked from editing. Adakiko (talk) 03:31, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Senegalese Football Federation. Vizzinifezzikwomanchuck (talk) 03:51, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Quit lying about me or you will get blocked indefinitely. Your next block should be at least a month. Your edits made the article significantly shorter and unencyclopedic. Stop it now. Nearly but not perfect (talk) 19:38, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed a recent edit you made does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Adakiko (talk) 10:52, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Block

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because of persistent disruptive editing, and apparently inability to understand what the problems with your editing are, which, unfortunately, makes it difficult to have any hope of your ever overcoming the problems.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  JBW (talk) 19:43, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

@JBW: that is my last revert there, I'm just going to open a discussion and wouldn't revert anymore, however you are quick to block me. All I want to do right now is discussing with the other user about the content. GOG88 (talk) 19:47, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

As I indicated above, you are free to make an unblock request, which will be given an independent review by another administrator, who is welcome to make a decision either way without consulting me. However, I think it only fair to advise you that you are likely to find persuading any administrator to unblock you an uphill struggle, because it really really looks to me as though you simply can't understand what the problems are.
