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.

Nomination of Provable fairness for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Provable fairness is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Provable fairness until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Superseded theories in science

Please revert your changes to Superseded theories in science. Renaming an article solely to include a single item which is based on an unreliable source isn't constructive. The Stack Exchange sites, including MathOverflow, are user-generated content that should not be used as sources for Wikipedia articles (see its entry at WP:RSPS). Thank you.

New message to ModernDaySlavery

I've undone many of your page moves, as they were done without any discussion and no grounding in site policy. Please peruse WP:NC for our core policy on how we use terms in article titles and the like. I would also recommend you start move requests instead of making the moves yourself if you're not really sure about them.

Also, I think you should consider changing your username, as it potentially violates our username policy. Thanks. Remsense ‥ 论 02:08, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

November 2024

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it.

The *Show preview* button is right next to the *Publish changes* button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 20:38, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Undiscussed moves

You need to stop making undiscussed moves without any clear explanation. Please start making move requests going forward instead. Thanks. Remsense ‥ 论 05:26, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ModernDaySlavery- Adding to this as you just logged two requests at WP:RMTR ([2], [3]).

This also does not mean you should re-list the very same articles you tried to move yourself such as Face (sociological concept) at WP:RM/TR - if these moves are potentially controversial (which someone reverting them indicates), then they should go through a full formal WP:RM#CM requested move discussion for contentious moves. Especially so when another user has told you explicitly that the move was not good. Raladic (talk) 00:23, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ModernDaySlavery you've done it again with Distance education—and no, listing it as a technical move and then just doing it anyway when no one immediately swats you down or does it for you is not a discussion. Your consistently poor article title choices show that you do not know what you are doing, and you should not be moving pages unilaterally. The next time you make an undiscussed move like this, I am going to report you to ANI. Remsense ‥ 论 14:12, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source as you did here [4]. You can learn which sources Wikipedia considers reliable at WP:Reliable sources and find out how to add the sources at Help:Referencing for beginners. And don't add content that is sourced to something that doesn't mention or support the content, as you did here. [5], [6] Thank you. _signed,Willondon (talk) 13:51, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
