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 @Vyom.Y I recently noticed your revision on Suryakant Tripathi. You mentioned that the photo in Anamika is not an artwork but captured image. To be honest it looks like a sketch and not a captured image. I request you to look into it carefully for once. Vedant Katyayan (talk) 16:47, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Dear @Vedant Katyayan

The image is actually a photograph, not an artwork. I found it in a rare edition of Anamika (1923) while I was still at college. Interestingly, the same photograph appeared again in the 1937 (second) edition.

Since I've graduated, I don't have access to the physical copies anymore. However, I found an online resource where you can view the original photograph yourself. You can find it on page 7 of this Anamika ebook on Rekhta: https://www.rekhta.org/ebooks/detail/anamika-sooriya-kant-ji-tirpathi-nirala-ebooks?lang=hi

I still think that photo from Anamika is a sketch which probably can be based on actual photograph. I am leaving it here and won't make any revisions. Let experienced editors decide. Thank you. Vedant Katyayan (talk) 08:39, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your understanding. To summarize, it was a common practice at that time for Bharti Bhandar Publishers in Allahabad to include photographs (taken, not painted) before the preface of their publications. Authors were specifically called in for a photoshoot for this purpose. Additionally, since Nirala was an emerging poet at the time, it is unlikely that admirers would have painted his portrait, as he was still establishing his reputation in the world of Hindi literature.

Thank you for removing vandalism from Lataji's article, but you should be more careful and not remove good information along with vandalism. It's better to use the undo link in article history than to edit manually, this way you can be sure everything is fixed properly. It's also preferable not to put insults towards the vandal in your own edit summary. 221.118.128.239 (talk) 03:18, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestions. The vandalism was highly abusive hence I used that retort. Will take care. Vyom.Y (talk) 11:13, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
