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.

Request reason:

Subject: Appeal Against Unjust Block on Wikipedia

I am writing to appeal the recent block placed on my Wikipedia account, as I believe it was issued without proper investigation and consideration of the circumstances surrounding the edit war.

During the edit war, I encountered several users who appeared to be fans or supporters of the individual whose page was being edited. Despite providing proper citations and adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines, these users continued to revert the edits without valid justification.

I strongly believe that my block was a result of bias and unfair treatment, as other users involved in the edit war were not subjected to similar sanctions. It is evident that the dispute was fueled by personal opinions rather than adherence to Wikipedia's policies.

I request a thorough review of the situation and urge you to reconsider the block placed on my account. I am committed to upholding Wikipedia's principles of neutrality, verifiability, and consensus-building, and I am willing to engage in constructive dialogue to resolve any disputes.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope for a fair and equitable resolution.

Decline reason:

You are not blocked for edit warring. You are blocked for violation of our biographies policy. You'll need to address this instead in any future unblock request. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 19:27, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Sak7340 (talk) 19:17, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

To be fair, there would probably have been no block without the edit warring. The repeated unsourced addition of "alleged" and the addition of "is known for being heavily trolled" in Wikipedia's voice to a biography led to the noticeboard reports and this decision. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:34, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

I added alleged because there is no proper source to claim that he is a journalist. His background shows he is a software engineer, that's why I used the word alleged. Sak7340 (talk) 19:53, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

That alone is entirely sufficient grounds to block you. There is absolutely nothing that prevents a software engineer (or anyone else) becoming a journalist. We aren't the slightest bit interested in your personal opinion of whether he is one or not, and addition of the word 'alleged' was entirely improper. Persisting with such facile arguments is more likely to result in the block being made indefinite than it being lifted. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:01, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Anyone can become a journalist??, even without a degree in journalism! It's like saying, "I think I'm a scientist because I've watched every episode of Bill Nye the Science Guy!" But hey, who knows? Maybe you'll discover the next scientific breakthrough while binge-watching Netflix. Sak7340 (talk) 20:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

If I have been blocked due to violations of biography policies, I would like to clarify that I have provided proper references and engaged in discussions in the talk section. However, other users continue to edit without proper references or discussion. Sak7340 (talk) 19:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I agree with the block, and as you do not think you have done anything wrong, I am not going to unblock you. PhilKnight (talk) 21:11, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Sak7340 (talk) 19:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

We don't need references to state that your addition of the word 'alleged' to the biography was a violation of our policies. Policies which permit immediate removal of content violating WP:BLP in particular. Likewise, your blatant editorialising is a violation. If you want to be unblocked, I suggest you make a proper appeal, acknowledging that Wikipedia policy determines what is or isn't permitted in articles. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:50, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Given the facile argumentation being put forward above, [1][2] I suggest this block be extended to indefinite, per WP:NOTHERE. Sak7340 clearly has no intention of using Wikipedia for anything other than a soapbox. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:24, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

what tf is "WE". You're not even an admin. Go somewhere else don't cry here, no one invited you here. XD Sak7340 (talk) 20:31, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Tempted to block indefinitely you just for that comment. I don’t see much evidence you are going to be an asset here. Doug Weller talk 20:40, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Endorse indefinite block"" Cf,. UTRS appeal #86803 -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:44, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Support indef as WP:NOTHERE. Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 21:54, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

I have increased the block to indefinite. You are clearly not here to build an encyclopedia, and have doubled down on said behaviour after the original two-week block. Daniel (talk) 21:57, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

@Daniel Funny, I had an edit conflict with you while I was indefinitely blocking, never saw that before. It showed me your block and asked if I wanted to override it. Doug Weller talk 21:59, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Who tf cares? I will make just another account. We all know how wikipedia is controlled by left lobbies and hv so much misleading articles here. Also, not to forget how they cry for donations everytime. Sak7340 (talk) 23:18, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Good luck with that. @Deepfriedokra @Doug Weller @Daniel drawing attention to above statement. Fantastic Mr. Fox (talk) 23:33, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

@Fantastic Mr. Fox: "The grapes are sour". (Irony noted.) To be fair, we don't cry for money. That's the WMF for you. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:38, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
