Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

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?

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.

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Your GA nomination of Ahmed Al-Kaf

The article Ahmed Al-Kaf you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Ahmed Al-Kaf for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Contentious topic notice: Syrian Civil War

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in the Syrian Civil War and ISIL. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

User talk of article Talk:Johnny Somali

References go on the main article, and you can get there by clicking on the "Read" tab in the upper left of the page you are currently viewing. I'm going to revert your edits, as I assume they are "test" edits. You should really focus your edits on the main page and not the talk page. The talk page is for discussion about the article, rather than the main components of the article. We talk about how the article can be improved, and then edit the main page. I hope this finds you well. Thanks! Dillard421♂♂ ^{(talk to me)} 23:12, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Okay, good to know! Sorry if that seemed a little unfocused... - OpalYosutebito (talk) 23:13, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Also, can I still add the {{refidea}} template back, or would that be overkill? - OpalYosutebito (talk) 17:46, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

North Korean involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Hi, I reverted two of your edits on the article in order to roll back to a time before three accounts, who shouldn't have been editing the article had made edits. Please reinstate your edits if they are still required. TarnishedPath^talk 05:06, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

I will, thanks! - OpalYosutebito (talk) 05:07, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
