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.

April 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Dogra conquest of Ladakh, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 18:10, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

I provided WP:RS in Dogra conquest of Ladakh, Do Check. Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 13:48, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

When an edit is reverted, you need to follow WP:BRD and attempt to reach WP:CONSENSUS before reinserting the contested content again. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:58, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Kautilya3. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Zorawar Singh (Dogra general), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 18:11, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

I only stated that Zorawar Singh conquered ladakh from Tibetans which isn't wrong.

All ladakhis are tibetics. Did I really need to cite a source for this?

Thank you for your concern. Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 08:54, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

See WP:SYNTHESIS and WP:STICKTOSOURCE. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 13:41, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief 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.

Disambiguation link notification for April 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bengal Sultanate–Delhi Sultanate War, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pandua. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 17:55, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of French prisoners

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, the introduction of inappropriate pages, such as French prisoners, is considered vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

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. Coop (talk) 16:48, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

My apologies. I agree with the deletion. Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 17:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

May 2024

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Vigraharaja IV's first war against the Muslims. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Imperial^[AFCND] 13:18, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Mongol invasions of India, you may be blocked from editing. Imperial^[AFCND] 13:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

i didn't do any Vandalism in Mongol invasions of India

All I did was adding  † on Ali beg's name. Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 13:28, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Please stop generalizing adding "Indian" to every kingdoms that ruled over India. Especially in the infoboxes. Refrain from making such edits to avoid getting blocked. Expecting good faith edits from you. Imperial^[AFCND] 13:30, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

That's understandable and Alright. Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 13:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Yijing (monk), you may be blocked from editing. Please provide citations along with your edits. Imperial^[AFCND] 12:17, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

But do we have to provide citations for basic things? All I edited was I tsing is known for his works in india. Isn't it a well known fact? I am new in wiki so parson me if I make any mistake. Thank you. Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 13:32, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Even if it is a well known fact, we have to provide citations. Imperial^[AFCND] 17:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Gupta Empire. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Imperial^[AFCND] 18:17, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. HistoryofIran (talk) 12:35, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Can you tell me what is that? Should I reply to this here or to the given link? Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 15:27, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Nevermind I got that. Malik-Al-Hind (talk) 17:59, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
