Hello, Machinezoned, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.



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?
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.

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Machinezoned. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page National Cherry Blossom Festival, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. You may have connection to whattheplants.in as an email address machinezoned@gmail.com shows up on its "Contact us" subpage.[1] Please don't promote your website here by replacing references with your spam links.

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Gooseberry, you may be blocked from editing. Your content is a fabrication with no WP:MEDRS sources. There is no evidence eating gooseberries has any effect on health. Zefr (talk) 18:00, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please check a few articles and rethink your statement. No evidence ? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21317655/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6926135/#sec5title https://www.drbrahma.com/amla-top-10-scientific-research-on-health-benefits-of-amla-indian-gooseberry/ Please do your research well before posting such statements. Machinezoned (talk) 02:40, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For encyclopedia topics concerning human health and diseases, we use WP:MEDRS reviews, a quality which your sources don't have. Also, don't cite sources connected to Ayurveda, which is quackery. Zefr (talk) 05:15, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Whats your source for the quackery statement ? don't post things without source else you will be blocked. Machinezoned (talk) 07:12, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Here, here, and here among countless other examples you can Google yourself. Zefr (talk) 21:25, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
