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.

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.

Use of minor edit m

G'day 23, Welcome. Can I just ask that when you do an edit, like the one you did recently on the Draza Mihailovic article, deleting existing information and adding other information, you don't click on minor edit, as most interested editors will not find your edit a minor one (which essentially means superficial), and may consider that discussion of the handing over of Allied aircrew to the Germans provides some balance against which the award of the Legion of Merit can be measured. The help page on minor edits is here Help:Minor edit. Enjoy your time on WP. Cheers! Peacemaker67 (talk) 05:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi again, you have probably gone overboard with the refs in the World War II persecution of Serbs infobox. They would be better placed in the text of the article alongside appropriate information from those refs. Peacemaker67 (talk) 03:09, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Arid Uka

Hello 23 editor. I see you are quite new here so I wish to explain something to you for future reference. You made a number of changes on Arid Uka which I initially reverted as non-constructive, only to discover that these are early days for you as an editor which is why I restored the bulk of your contributions, all except one. Like you, I am also from the former Yugoslavia (albeit born in the UK where I have always lived) and a fair chuck of my edits are connected to that part of the world. The reason his name was displayed in Serbian Cyrillic was because he was born in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and therefore that variation applied to him; we give Serbian or Serbo-Croat for all persons born on the territory of Serbia or Yugoslavia just as relevant variations are found across the site for other individuals of one ethnicity born in another country where a separate script is used. None of this suggests the spelling is an indication that the individual was of the ethnicity to which the translation pertains - the ethnicity is given in the article, usually on the opening line. If you have any questions on this, feel free to message me, thanks. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 12:07, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I reverted you edit[1] because other editors talk should not normally be blanked, even if it seems uncivil. If you think the edit is egregiously uncivil there are guidelines at WP:REMOVEUNCIVIL. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 13:47, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Evandro Goebel

Hello. I reverted your edit at Evandro Goebel because you removed sourced information. The point of the articles is to have all the necessary information written in the article body and then adequatly sourced, which was exactly the case, so your edit did not contributed in any way in improving the article, right the oposite. Also, it didn´t make any sense to remove the sourced information, and leave the source. Please don´t make such edits anymore, removing sourced information is a big no-no. What we need is editors that will contribute by adding sourced information, and replacing the unsourced with sourced one. For any help please feel free to contact me. Pozdrav!

Assumption of religion

Hi. I've reverted three of your recent edits (this, this and this) because you are adding categories that are not supported by the article text. For example, why would you add a category that purports Ana Ivanovic to be "Serbian Orthodox Christian" when there is no mention of "Christian" (or any religion) in her article? Please note that we are not here to take guesses; instead, we are here to include information that is referenced by reliable sources (especially in a biography of a living person). Please take the time to check the article text before adding categories. Thank you. GFHandel ♬  01:22, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

May 2012

Your recent editing history at Template:Bosnian War shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -- ◅PRODUCER _(TALK) 22:00, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Montenegrins vandalism

Hi, I've assumed good faith to the maximum, and now the vandalizing user has made 6 uncommented reverts (1 of them by ip), in spite of the talk page clearly stating that Ethnic Montenegrins and Montenegrins (a demonym) is not the same. We can safely say that if he does it one more time, we will have to report him, as he has not yet answered our questions.--Zoupan 11:41, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

You are involved in an issue at the Administrator's noticeboard

See here: [2].--R-41 (talk) 00:45, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Warning

At Montenegrins, your conduct has been not much better than that of your opponents. You have made about five reverts of the same material in as many days. What makes it worse is that most of your reverts lacked any explanation in edit summaries (let alone talk page participation), and your only form of communication with the other editor was to accuse them of "vandalism" [3][4][5]. This is not acceptable. You need to realize that (a) revert-warring at a constant rate of 1r per day is still revert-warring, (b) making edits you disagree with is not the same thing as "vandalism", and (c) you should always provide informative edit summaries for your edits, but especially when making potentially contentious edits in a conflict situation.

I'm giving you the official warning, which will be logged for the future:

In a 2007 arbitration case, administrators were given the power to impose discretionary sanctions on any user editing Balkans-related articles in a disruptive way. If you engage in further inappropriate behaviour in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article/topic ban. Thank you.

I momentarily blocked you as it appeared you were edit warring on Montenegrins. On further examination, I reconsidered. Mind you, this is a borderline case and continued reversion is considered disruption. Toddst1 (talk) 22:24, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

date format changes

You seemed to have made a series of changes to the article Croatian War of Independence in which you changed the inline date format, but you

1. didn't leave edit summaries on any of them
2. didn't do the same change in the references
3. didn't change the template {{Use mdy dates}}
4. occasionally made small copyedits along the way
5. occasionally made content changes (describing Pakrac clash as a single incident rather than a series of incidents; I'm not questioning the accuracy of that here, just pointing out it's not a mere copyedit)

Can you please do this kind of a mass change in a single edit with a proper edit summary? If I roll you back now, we lose not only the incomplete/wrong changes, but also random stuff. Please understand that respecting the standard editing procedures means respecting other editors by not causing extra work for them. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 07:36, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Petar II Petrović-Njegoš

Hello 23 editor, and thanks for the work you are doing on Petar II Petrović-Njegoš! I have a request for you - when you edit, can you include an edit summary? At first I thought that this edit might be vandalism as so much material was removed, and I only saw that it was constructive after carefully examining it. If you had included an informative edit summary, then I would have had a much easier time understanding what was going on. I think this is probably true for other editors who look at your edits as well - edit summaries are very useful for other people to understand what you're doing. Best regards — Mr. Stradivarius ^{(have a chat)} 00:57, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you added quite a bit of sourced material to the Serbian Canadians article. User:Bobrayner is vandalizing the article by removing sourced content that you added before.

Yes, i may help you, but i would inform you that user in question have several traveling circus buddies around, so, they can easily form their own view of edit interest, with overwhelming help in one sided POV. You may be lead to edit warring if try just to revert, so, my advice would be to ask for RfC, where we can bypass those several buddy editors, and get some neutral unrelated opinions.

Persons born in Yugoslavia (esp. Arid Uka)

23 editor, hold your horses and calm down! You are still relatively new here so you need to familiarise yourself with the general practice. When a subject is born in or has lived in a certain country for a significant period, we provide the local form of the individual name if it varies from the name being used. So if you are born in Greece, you will have your name in Greek regardles sof whether you are not ethnic Greek, same with Russia, Bulgaria, China and the Arab world. There are many manifestations for how such names appear and Hashim Thaçi is given his Slavic variants here. It is knowing where to find it. If some should have Cyrillic/Latinic and do not, then they can be added accordingly. Ethnic Albanians from Kosovo fall into the same category as their counterparts in Macedonia, or Hungarians in Vojvodina - they will all have their name presented in the Slavic form as it represents biographical information. Croatia and Slovenia, even in Yugoslav times, are different. Being Latinic-only languages, one maintains his name even with non-Slavic origin spelling forms (eg. Gordon Schildenfeld and Danilo Türk), but when people are born in Serbia, Montenegro or Macedonia, we give the respective form regardless of ethnicity. Any questions, please ask but I ask you not to make arbitrary amendments - the full catalogue of ethnic Albanians from Kosovo/Macedonia contains Slavic forms where relevant and if you are unhappy with these things, you need to gain a consensus for removal of foreign names on the whole of Wikipedia. Regards. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 20:26, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes, indeed. Ante Pavelić - no Serbian cyrillic spelling and yet he did spend a significant amount of time in what was then Yugoslavia. Hashim Thaci - still no Cyrillic. Agim Çeku - no Cyrillic spelling. Mladen Lorković - sorry, no Cyrillic spelling. Rita Ora - born in Kosovo, no Cyrillic spelling. All of these people are non-Serbs. Do you notice a pattern? 23 editor (talk) 20:33, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Rita Ora spent a few weeks of her life in Yugoslav Serbia so it is not relevant to her, she has never even learnt the language so we don't need it there. See Agim Çeku, see Hashim Thaçi. Ante Pavelić was Croat born in Austria-Hungary, as was Mladen Lorković. Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 20:38, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

In the Arid Uka article, it says specifically, and I quote, "Since 1991 Arid Uka has lived in Germany..." If he was born in 1990 and he's lived in Germany since '91, doesn't that mean that he only spent a year of his life living in Kosovo? See the hypocrisy in that? Then you say, "Rita Ora spent a few weeks of her life in Yugoslav Serbia so it is not relevant to her, she has never even learnt the language..." Do you have any reliable references that Uka knew Serbian, because that is what you seem to be implying by putting the Serbian Cyrillic spelling in the opening of his article. Are you following me or am I going to fast for you? 23 editor (talk) 20:43, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Then you say Pavelic was a Croat born in Austria-Hungary. I know that he was a Croat, so what? Are you trying to suggest that Uka was a Serb? 23 editor (talk) 20:46, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your effort, I was thinking of that too. We're agreed then. All the best! Evlekis (Евлекис) (argue) 21:08, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Agim Çeku

Hi! Just noticed you added SC spelling of Agim Çeku as Agim Čeku and I wanted to run this by you to see if a further explanation is required there or not. Croatian language ortography actually requires preservation of the original spelling of foreign names, with an option not to use the cedilla in this particular case. An example of correct application of this rule is here and an example with the cedilla omitted here. Of course there are examples of Croatian newspapers spelling his name Čeku, but their orhographic (and grammatical) errors are omnipresent. I have no problem with the recent addition to the notes of the article as those speakers who would identify language they speak as SC would probably tend to spell his name phonetically, but I wonder if the note as-is might produce confusion that the name is spelled the same in Serbian and Croatian languages. Any thoughts?--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:37, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I am not a linguistics expert. I think that this is starting to become a question of whether Croatian and Serbian are seperate languages and I do not wish to become part of a debate as to whether they are. If you believe that in the Croatian language Čeku should be spelled as it is in Albanian (Çeku), then feel free to make that revision. 23 editor (talk) 17:42, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Notwithstanding of the two languages - one language debate, the article provides both spellings so info is in, and I don't particularly care for starting an edit war. Cheers!--Tomobe03 (talk) 18:01, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

I noticed your bold unexplained removal of the referenced content in article about Kosovo and restored it. It is better to propose and gain consensus for important changes at the talkpage first. Especially in articles like Kosovo which is article on probation, watched by almost thousand editors and with 1RR restriction. All the best. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 00:25, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. I'll discuss it on the talk page. 23 editor (talk) 02:16, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

For the sake of thoroughness, I am posting a copy of the standard warning for Balkans-related articles here on your talk page. I am not taking sides here as to who is right and who is wrong; everyone needs to be on their best behaviour here, and edit warring is not an acceptable procedure in any case, even if you are convinced that you are right and others are wrong.

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to the Balkans. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you continue to misconduct yourself on pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban.
