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?

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.
Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
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.
Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
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).
In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
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.

Alstom article

Hi Hajer-12, thanks for your work improving the Alstom article. However, to prevent vast numbers of minor edits clogging up editors' watchlists, may I ask if you would consider grouping multiple small improvements into one edit? For example, in the last 50 minutes, your 9 edits to this page could, theoretically, have been grouped into just one edit. Feel free to use the 'Preview edit' box when using the Source editor to do this. Not a major issue, but just a little tip for the future! Thanks again, Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 18:13, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for your feedback! I have just started and thought I should take it slowly on Alstom. You will notice that on Legrand, upon which I have done deeper research, I am grouping together the important changes. Well-noted and I am implementing :)!

Your draft article, Draft:Benoît Coquart

Hello, Hajer-12. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Benoît Coquart".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:29, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Refs for Rare Beauty

Hi Hajer-12. I reverted two of the three references you added to Rare Beauty [1] TheRichest.com doesn't appear reliable, and the cosmeticsbusiness.com ref was a doubly-redundant, warmed-over press release. The third is similarly poor, and I've left it but would not argue for it's inclusion if it came up. You may want to check WP:RSP and WP:RSN in the future to help determine if a source is reliable. - Hipal (talk) 20:57, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Additions to DICK's Sporting Goods page.

Hi Hajer-12, I see that you've contributed to the pages of Columbia Sportswear and Decathlon (retailer) in the past. I hope you will consider implementing the edit request I posted at Talk:Dick's Sporting Goods#Additions to page. Since Dick's Sporting Goods is also a sports retailer, I thought you'd be an appropriate person to edit their page. Thank you, Amanda144 (talk) 15:36, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paid

Hello Hajer-12. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Hajer-12. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Hajer-12|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Polygnotus (talk) 13:46, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

COI

Hello, Hajer-12. If you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Polygnotus (talk) 13:46, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I have been accused of COI and UPE and I am not actually involved in any of that.

First, the user who reported me did not even wait for me to answer his allegations. The editor promptly declared that I'm a paid profile and that I should be kicked off Wikipedia without specifying why, and most importantly, without evidence. I think their accusations were unfair and did not rest upon adequate grounds. Despite that, I did politely answer and express my good faith as well as my openness to constructive feedback. However, the user kept answering me aggressively with unjustified allegations “So my advice would be to find another job". I was not helped by the user who reported me in the first place. Instead, I received constructive feedback from other editors who helped me better understand what was wrong with my edits. Also, when other editors pointed out this hostile behavior, the user justified it with ‘confusion’, which is unacceptable! Most importantly, the attitude of the user seemed to violate Wikipedia’s fourth pillar which entails that ‘Wikipedia's editors should treat each other with respect and civility’.

First, thanks to the other editors’ feedback who helped me understand the reason behind my block. I now understand that my edits are sometimes badly worded which may seem like it’s too positive. I will make sure to be careful of that in the future. Besides, I would like to further explain my editing approach because I feel like I am being unfairly accused of COI and UPE. I am an academic (who has nothing to do with the field of PR) and I am used to dealing with purely academic and scientific sources, thereby, I thought when I relied on acknowledged sources relevant to the domain of the subject would be reliable. For example, I opted for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle for fashion. Another instance was resorting to magazines like Petfood Industry and Pet Food Processing for pet food pages. Moreover, I added information like ‘partnerships’, ‘openings’ and ‘brand ambassadors’ because I believe that they are neutral actions that pertain to the activities of the edited subjects. In fact, my intention was not to add ‘positive’ or ‘promotional’ information, I intended to add simple actions that I considered neutral and factual. I can also show you my good faith by going to the pages of which I am accused and doing what is necessary, and I also recognize that I have only put positive things, but without links of interest (since you can see they were several different companies).

I will change my editing method in the future. I will adhere to the fundamental pillars of Wikipedia. First, I will be more careful in terms of style and make sure that it is neutral. More precisely, I will not follow the style adopted in the article(s). More importantly, I will be cautious with the use of sources. I will make sure to only include accurate information extracted from reliable sources. Accordingly, I will avoid articles that seem biased (especially if they are press releases) and depend on more primary and independent sources which solely include true and useful information.

As for my connection to the user AZAA23, I do not have any connection with this user. I just checked the contributions of this user and it seems like we edited the same pages twice. However, I believe that it is a mere coincidence.

I would like to request an unblock so that I can help contribute to Wikipedia in better way! Thank you! Hajer-12 (talk) 14:21, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

my edits are sometimes badly worded which may seem like it’s too positive That means you do not understand the reason for the block. We still have to clean up the giant mess you made. You are not here to build an encyclopedia, just to promote certain brands. Polygnotus (talk) 14:27, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
