Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Until you have been here at least 30 days or made 500 edits, please avoid pages relevant to the Israeli-Arab conflict edit

Which in the case of your edits includes the List of oldest continuously inhabited cities. See WP:ECP. You'll find that many of the relevant pages will simply not accept your edits, but not all. That doesn't mean you can edit them. Doug Weller talk 14:31, 12 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
