Hello, Derwydd74, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.

  • If you have a question that is not one of the frequently asked questions below, check out the Teahouse, ask me on my talk page, or click the button below. Happy editing and again, welcome! Rasnaboy (talk) 07:20, 10 December 2022 (UTC)Reply


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.
Thank you very much for your warm welcome and advice, I really appreciate it. It's always great to have the guidance of a much experienced person.

Editor status edit

Hello, Derwydd74,

You contributions make it appear as if you are trying to rapidly gain extended confirmed status for some reason. You are making quick, pointless edits, rather than purposeful edits that improve content. Please don't try to game the system or it could backfire on you.

If you have questions about editing on Wikipedia, please bring them to the Teahouse. Liz Read! Talk! 00:17, 13 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Derwydd74,
I'm still concerned about your pattern of editing. Why, for instance, are you editing old drafts, doing minor edits to them that serve no purpose? Please consider how you are contributing to the project and don't do many, random small edits to gain extended confirmed status. Liz Read! Talk! 05:58, 19 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hello, Derwydd74,
What previous accounts have you edited Wikipedia with? Were any of them blocked? Liz Read! Talk! 05:47, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

The previous accounts were Biocci Toeplitz, GroppeBoucher, and Bachelor 200. They were blocked. Derwydd74 (talk) 06:31, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for December 14 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited FIA European Cup for Cross-Country Bajas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page João Ferreira. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Eddy Baldewijns moved to draftspace edit

Thanks for creating Eddy Baldewijns. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it is a poor translation and The Template:Infobox politicus België needs converting to an English language version. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Josey Wales Parley 13:44, 7 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Dubai Herbal and Treatment Centre edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Dubai Herbal and Treatment Centre requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Concern regarding Draft:Eddy Baldewijns edit

  Hello, Derwydd74. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Eddy Baldewijns, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 16:01, 12 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
