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?

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.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 08:53, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

i couldnt understand P. S. N. Srikar (talk) 08:54, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Kamakshi Amman Temple, you may be blocked from editing. Doug Weller talk 08:58, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

what is the problem with unsourced or poorly sourced information. It is information anyway P. S. N. Srikar (talk) 09:01, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Kamakshi Amman Temple and Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 09:06, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

@Doug Weller: I plead for less clemency in this case - and maybe a SPI may be warranted? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 09:10, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Venkateswara, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 09:29, 8 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.

You are not permitted to remove declined unblock requests for your currently active block. Do not do so again. You may want to change your open unblock request to better reflect the truth; you tried to mislead us and I declined your attempt already. --Yamla (talk) 11:53, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

please unblock me. my IP Adress was really hacked. I will make sure that no such incident happens again. Please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by P. S. N. Srikar (talk • contribs)

There's no meaningful chance you'll ever be unblocked unless you start being honest with us. --Yamla (talk) 13:11, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

By the way, IP addresses can't be hacked. You have shown you're bad at lying. Why not tell us the truth? But if you don't, we know the truth anyway. thetechie@wikimedia: ~/talk/ $ 15:29, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Well, there's Border Gateway Protocol hijacking, but that didn't happen here. --Yamla (talk) 16:40, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

see, I just wanted to see how people react here. for that, I created some trouble. I promise that I going forward will make sure no such incident takes place if you unblock me. P. S. N. Srikar (talk) 05:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

I am really sorry for what I did and I promise to be a better user and a meaningful contributor. Please. P. S. N. Srikar (talk) 05:03, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

I just wanted to have fun. I am sorry. P. S. N. Srikar (talk) 05:04, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Now you are admitting that you lied. I can't see anyone unblocking you. Doug Weller talk 07:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

P. S. N. Srikar, you've worked hard to demonstrate you cannot be trusted. However, WP:SO is a way for you to earn back trust. You'll need to go at least six months with zero edits and zero block evasion and will need to convince us that you'll take a completely different approach to honesty going forward. Be warned, your repeated and largely incompetent attempts to mislead us will count against you as we need to be able to trust editors' words here. --Yamla (talk) 10:27, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

oh come on, six months is a long time. I only reacted like that because mods reverted my edits. and my edits only consisted of extra info, additional pictures. just today, an editor reverted back my edits to the Venkateswara page. my edits just comprised of spelling edits ant I changed the picture of the page. Due to such reverts without proper reason, I reacted in such a way. P. S. N. Srikar (talk) 11:31, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

You should consider yourself exceptionally lucky if six months is all it takes, given your repeated dishonesty. 2024-10-11 at the absolute earliest, and only if you stop editing everywhere, including this page. I think you are underestimating how serious your dishonesty was. Please take the next six months to reflect on this. --Yamla (talk) 11:38, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

you are just saying tha same thing again and again. why dont you answer my question as well. P. S. N. Srikar (talk) 11:43, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm done here. Don't ping me, I won't respond further and no longer have any hope you'll be constructive in the future. --Yamla (talk) 11:44, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
