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]
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. RegentsPark (comment) 15:07, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
RegentsPark, I read the guidelines about primary and secondary references before posting, and also the page about Promotional material. I think I am in compliance of the guidelines as my posts are objective and unbiased. However, if you can please let me know specifically why you found my edits disruptive, I will be happy to comply. In the meantime, kindly restore my edits. Thank you Gaurang damani (talk) 06:47, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Gaurang, I have removed the links you re-added to a book apparently authored by you since, given your conflict of interest, it appears to be citation spamming. If you still believe that your work is worth citing Fifth Veda, or elsewhere on wikipedia, instead of adding the citations to the articles yourself, please discuss it on the relevant article's talkpage. And it would help if you could point to scholarly reviews of the book and specify what particular statement in the wikipedia article is being supported by what particular content in the book.
