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.

Edit warring

Hi DeepstoneV! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Bajirao I several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you.

Don't distort sources

Hello, I'm Worldbruce. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Sher Shah Suri seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:58, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Siege of Moscow (1382), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Timurid. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 17:48, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do not change sourced content as per your pov/beliefs

Hello, I'm Salman Cooper Mapping, I've recently noticed your removal of sourced content such as that from the article of Tipu Sultan, please refrain from doing so. I can already see that you've been warned against edit warring and editing without a neutral pov, please try to avoid doing so again. Regards Salman Cooper Mapping (talk) 23:48, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Opinion is Disputed, There are also Many sources that Describing him A Sunni Muslim. So for not Causing Edit War, Only Muslim would be Perfect DeepstoneV (talk) 10:16, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any source by Oxford is automatically qualified as a WP:RS and is valued over all other sources, sources that call him Sunni seem to be from people writing a book and publishing it under their own name or unknown/non WP:RS publishers, please do not change the sourced info and repl with any substantial counter to this reply itself rather than changing info beforehand. Thank you, Salman Cooper Mapping (talk) 15:56, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive Editing on Tipu Sultan

Would you please stop removing sourced content from the article?
