Welcome to Wikipedia, Klaus

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.

Blue-winged goose

Can you add an egg image for the Blue-winged goose ? Zzorse (talk) 18:31, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very very much for your question. Right now I am at hom I will be at the museum tomorrow and I will check our stock for an image of the blue winged goose. I will be in touch with you. Best regards Klaus RassingerKlausrassinger (talk) 21:04, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Images of eggs

I see you are doing some useful work adding images of eggs to various bird articles. It would be even more useful if you used the wikilink [[Museum Wiesbaden]], Germany, which links to the correct page rather than [[Museum Wiesbaden, Germany]] which you are using at the moment and which gives a non-functioning red link. Thank you. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:38, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Upps, I think I made a mistake with my idea to add the hometown of our museum. I thought some people don't know the city of Wiesbaden and therefore I added the name of the city where the museum is located. But you are right. In the future I will use only the official name "Museum Wiesbaden"! Thank you and very best regards. Klaus RassingerKlausrassinger (talk) 21:12, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
