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

Hello, Yashpalgoyal1304, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.

thanks a lot for the fruits and all other info too :) Yashpalgoyal1304 (talk) 04:43, 5 August 2021 (UTC)Reply


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.

Use of bold

edit

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for working to improve Wikipedia.

Your recent edit of wave was reverted because it did not comply with Wikipedia's manual of style, WP:MOS. In particular, bold is reserved for the first occurrence of the subject of the article, which would be "wave" in that particular article. You can see more information on the use of bold here: WP:BOLD.

Happy editing! Constant314 (talk) 15:32, 4 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

<note 4 self: dont use edit button to reply> hi, @constant314 yeah, thanks for reaching out. i was looking somewhere to discuss about that. i highlighted that as it's the other thing/counterpart of the term already highlighted/bold just before - that is, the travelling wave. that automatically leaves my brain to think that the counterpart will be highlighted too. therefore, i think that "travelling wave" should be unhighlighted too. and while we are at it, i would also like to know why the word domain is highlighted as well. thanks :) Yashpalgoyal1304 (talk) 15:46, 4 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, traveling wave <edit> and domain </edit> should not be bold. I fixed that. Constant314 (talk) 15:54/16:40, 4 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
awesome. any input on "domain" thingy slightly down the article? <reply to this merged above with edit> Yashpalgoyal1304 (talk) 15:59, 4 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
summary: traveling wave , standing wave , and domain all italicized.

Tools which are not notable (do not have their own wikipedia articles) are probably going to need to be removed.
