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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Notable people who have edited Wikipedia). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for your mail. The Article, "Shounak Roy (Sarod)", I tried to contribute is not an autobiography. It is about Shounak Roy, my younger brother, regarding his first few steps in the art form of playing Indian Classical String Instrument -Sarod, i.e. his musical journey in brief. However, I am a beginner in the Wikipedia environment and might have done some un-intentional mistake. So your suggestion shall be highly appreciated. Thanks and Regards...

Notice!

Hello @Sarodiyabrothers,

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However, I've reviewed your page Sarodiya Brothers (Arka Roy and Shounak Roy) and found it to resemble an advertisement, which is against Wikipedia's policies.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a platform for self-promotion or advertising. Pages should provide neutral, informative content, not promote individuals, businesses, or organizations.

Thankyou! 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 09:40, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi @S-Aura

Thank you so much for your inputs. I am absolutely new in the Wikipedia Environment and have been trying to contribute to Wikipedia without having any specific knowledge of different aspects of Wikipedia policies.

I shall be much obliged if you kindly do the needful on my behalf or help me out to improve the page.

Regards
