There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
    Perform maintenance tasks
           
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

September 2023 edit

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Mehmana, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Only extended confirmed users are authorized to edit topics related to politics, ethnic relations, and conflicts involving Armenia, Azerbaijan, or both — broadly construed, per WP:GS/AA.

Hello. Mehmana and whole Nagorno-Karabakh is under the control of Azerbaijan. That's why I edited this article. What did I wrong? Əhməd Qurbanov (talk) 20:43, 29 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

As I stated previously, only extended confirmed users are authorized to edit topics related to politics, ethnic relations, and conflicts involving Armenia, Azerbaijan, or both — broadly construed, per WP:GS/AA. AntonSamuel (talk) 17:28, 1 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
It doesn't mean that you have right to revert changes wrongfully. It is the fact that whole of Nagorno Karabakh is under the control of Azerbaijan. Both de-facto and de-jure it is part of Azerbaijan. Why you are insisting to revert changes? You violate neutrality rule here. Okay, if I can not edit these articles, so do it for me, if you are looking for the truth. Don't keep articles as outdated and wrong. Əhməd Qurbanov (talk) 07:14, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. AntonSamuel (talk) 12:27, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Final warning: WP:GS/AA edit

Over the past few days you've made talk page comments suggesting that articles related to Nagorno-Karabakh be retitled. While talk page comments are usually fair game for protected articles, WP:GS/AA (alongside a few other contentious topics measures) specifies that non-extended-confirmed editors may not make edits to internal project discussions related to the topic area, even within the "Talk:" namespace. Internal project discussions include, but are not limited to, AfDs, WikiProjects, RfCs, RMs, and noticeboard discussions.--emphasis mine, as RM refers to move (i.e. renaming) requests.

Further violations of WP:GS/AA will result in blocks. I'm going to include the standard CTOPS notice for Armenia-Azerbaijan topics so that you are aware of it and can read through its explanations. signed, Rosguill talk 15:19, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

So, @Rosguill How I can contribute these articles even if I don't have any ability to discuss in talk pages? Əhməd Qurbanov (talk) 18:06, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
You are not supposed to be contributing to these articles. To protect against sockpuppetry, new accounts are prohibited from editing certain contentious topics. Go get some experience editing other topics that are less controversial and come back when you have 500 edits and a strong understanding of relevant policy and guidelines. signed, Rosguill talk 20:19, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Rosguill So, after 500 thorough edits, I am eligible to edit these articles? Əhməd Qurbanov (talk) 21:34, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yes, but please note that attempting to rush your way to 500 is against guidelines (WP:PGAME) signed, Rosguill talk 21:39, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Okay, no worries. Thanks for informing. @Rosguill -- Əhməd Qurbanov (talk) 21:41, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics edit

You have recently edited a page related to Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
