Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, Sakthíyvël, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.

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.

March 2023 edit

  Hello, I'm Arjayay. I noticed that you recently removed content from MAM College of Engineering without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. - Arjayay (talk) 17:07, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at MAM College of Engineering, 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. - Arjayay (talk) 17:07, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology & Research Academy, you may be blocked from editing. Idontknowwhattouseasmyusername300 (talk) 18:16, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Flipkart. — DaxServer (t · m · c) 18:40, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please slow down edit

Although you may want to jump right into editing, you are causing a number of issues with your edits (e.g. adding unsourced content, introducing trivial information based on your personal knowledge and breaking image files). Please take the time to review the messages and links provided on your userpage before making any further edits.-- Ponyobons mots 18:24, 22 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Concern regarding User:Sakthíyvël/sandbox edit

  Hello, Sakthíyvël. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that User:Sakthíyvël/sandbox, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
