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.

Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. I noticed that you made a change to an article, The Old Rivalry, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 13:24, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022

Hello! I'm Certes. Your recent edit(s) to the page Boulder appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Certes (talk) 14:38, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2024 United States presidential election. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 19:09, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Bass guitar. David Biddulph (talk) 14:08, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent further vandalism, as you did at Bass_guitar.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:12, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I wont do it again Limbobob (talk) 15:28, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This has been going on for months. You had plenty of warnings. You'll need a substantially more convincing unblock request. Yamla (talk) 15:30, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Request reason:

Hey man I get it, what I did was wrong. I know I had warnings, it was stupid of me to not take them seriously. I understand that I got blocked because of vandalism, I will not make an error like this again, especially if I am warned of it. I would like for the block to be lifted, or at least shortened. Limbobob (talk) 16:46, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Putting an end date on the block does nothing to convince us that your behavior will not repeat. The block can be removed when you tell us what constructive contributions you will make. 331dot (talk) 18:34, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I´ll try everything I can to be better. i´ll add citations to pages, i´ll review information, spelling and grammar checks. I originally meant Wikipedia to be a small hobby for me, I never thought I would turn to the dark side like this Limbobob (talk) 18:50, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Closing as unresponsive. You may make a new request if you wish to respond to the questions posed below. 331dot (talk) 10:57, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could you be more specific, and tell us what subject areas are of interest to you? PhilKnight (talk) 16:06, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am very interested in music theory, as well as Christian Theology. Those are my two main areas Limbobob (talk)

Hi Limbobob, thanks for answering the questions above. Before I can unblock you, I need to feel confident that you understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Please answer the questions below to help me make this determination:

Please select an article that you are interested in editing. What change or addition would you make to the article? Please be brief in your suggested edit (one sentence will suffice) and please outline the exact text that you want to add/change, and include the source that verifies the text.
In the previous unblock request, you state that you were stupid to ignore the warnings. What actions should you have taken instead when given these warnings?

Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 16:24, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!
