Welcome to Wikipedia!

I will start editing their articles, but first I need to do some research. By the way, you aren't supposed to write in Arabic in the English Wikipedia, and when editing in user talk pages (such as this one), you should sign your posts by typing four tildes (~~~~).

About starting to edit, I think it would be good if you started at Timeline of the 2011–2012 Bahraini uprising (from January 2012) by adding daily events. You can ignore all the rules as long as you are using common sense. Just make sure you abide by presenting a neutral point of view and citing of reliable sources. I'll watch your edits, correct them and notify you about any errors you made ;) For instance you could use these sources to expand the article: [1], [2] and [3] Mohamed CJ (talk) 16:25, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

July 2012

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Timeline of the 2011–2012 Bahraini uprising (from January 2012) has been reverted.
Your edit here to Timeline of the 2011–2012 Bahraini uprising (from January 2012) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ3R5oY5Ubg, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ0TILvDkz8) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 20:53, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit was reverted by a bot (i.e. not an actual person). On the bot page it says that it is "primarily intended to deal with domains which may have a legit use on-wiki, but are frequently misused by new and anonymous users" (i.e. you were reverted because you are a new user who inserted links to YouTube). I think you can safely ignore this and revert the bot. However, the problem I see in your edit is that it is not referenced (i.e. no reliable sources are used) and could be original research. YouTube links from non-official/anonymous channels are not reliable sources. If you wanted to write about events of 14 July, you should use a reliable source such as this. When citing the source you can write something like:

<ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/fresh-wave-of-protests-in-bahrain-after-authorities-move-to-curb-opposition-rallies/2012/07/14/gJQAAD0OkW_story.html "Fresh wave of protests in Bahrain after authorities move to curb opposition rallies"]. ''The Washington Post''. Associated Press. 14 July 2012. Retrieved 16 July 2012.</ref>

Alternatively you can use Template:Cite news like this:

<ref>{{cite news |title=Fresh wave of protests in Bahrain after authorities move to curb opposition rallies |author= |url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/fresh-wave-of-protests-in-bahrain-after-authorities-move-to-curb-opposition-rallies/2012/07/14/gJQAAD0OkW_story.html |newspaper=The Washington Post |agency=Associated Press |date=14 July 2012 |accessdate=16 July 2012}}</ref>

Verifiability is important, however, it doesn't necessarily lead to inclusion, because that also depends on notability and weight. Mohamed CJ (talk) 05:51, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You can take a look at my edit at the same section (14 July). Mohamed CJ (talk) 06:03, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
