Hello, Plasmastate, 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.

Invitation to support the creation of WikiProject Effective altruism

[edit]

Hello, I've created a proposal for WikiProject Effective altruism to help coordinate efforts to create and articles related to effective altruism. I saw that you made significant improvements to the articles Wild animal suffering and Suffering risks, so I thought you might be interested. If you'd like, please support the WikiProject proposal here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Effective Altruism. Enervation (talk) 06:49, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mirror test

[edit]

Hi! Your edit to the mirror test article needs to be reviewed as you repeat an already existing source. Please have a look at the sentence before your two sentences. :-) Erkcan (talk) 04:39, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Erkcan, my bad. I just undid my edit. Thanks for notifying me! Plasmastate (talk) 18:09, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No problem at all. The fact that you needed to write it might be an indication that the single sentence was a little terse. Feel free to update that if you like. Erkcan (talk) 06:01, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
