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?
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.

July 2023 edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Hinduism in Canada. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. The removal of that material is not vandalism. The user gave what appears to be a valid reason for contesting the inclusion of that material. It is a personal attack for you to label that as vandalism. And furthermore, it does not matter that you claim the edits "go against the collective voice of the Canadian Hindu society". This is Wikipedia's article, we report what reliable sources say, and we edit by consensus. Meters (talk) 18:10, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

The user in question has already attempted to discuss the issue on the article's talk page. I suggest that you stop edit warring and participate in the discussion. Meters (talk) 18:14, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have replied to the user there and asked to not make any further vandalism without consensus. JaleRosetta (talk) 05:05, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Please be respectful while discussing the disagreement. The tone of your comment is highly offensive, based on assumptions, inauthentic and derogatory. Restructure your comment for a constructive dialog. JaleRosetta (talk) 05:04, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Hinduism in Canada. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Really? You restored your edit twice before commenting on after user:Suthasianhistorian8's talk page thread. You directly called their edits vandalism, you've doubled down on that after being warned that it was a personal attack to do so, and now you are attacking me and have restored the material again.

Blocked as a sockpuppet edit

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts as a sockpuppet of User:JoshuaClark9990 per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JoshuaClark9990. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  qedk (t c) 20:43, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
