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.

Hello I think I have made sufficient edits so that the page doesn't get deleted. I know that the place doesn't have much notability but that doesn't justify its nomination for deletion. Many places having lesser notability than this place are present in Wiki, but they don't get deleted or get nominated for deletion. So, I think its nomination is unjustified.

I humbly request you to remove the deletion notice from the article, this is my first article and I don't want it to get it deleted. I assure you that I will improve with time.

Warm Regards

March 2021 edit

  Hello, I'm Rdp060707. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Jaraka because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. ----Rdp060707|Let's discuss about the plans 03:21, 7 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Jaraka. Wikipedia is not a collection of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links may include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. ----Rdp060707|Let's discuss about the plans 03:22, 7 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please add it back to my draft and don't delete it...I will make necessary changes over time.

Warm Regards SambitK SambitK (talk) 03:23, 7 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sir, as I couldn't find any reliable links to this place, I used third party links so that my article doesn't get deleted.

I am new to Wikipedia and don't know much about article writing and the policies of Wikipedia. So can you please help me to make this article good enough so that it doesn't get deleted. SambitK (talk) 03:30, 7 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for April 25 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ashok Pati, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Helen. 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.)
