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?
- 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.
- Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
- 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.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- 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). - In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
- 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.

[edit]
Hello, I'm Jiffles1. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Corporation for Public Broadcasting—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Jiffles1 (talk) 02:48, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
- I agree that dictatorships are not constructive. But calling them like they are is constructive.
- For reference, he is Constitutionally banned from holding office in the US per amendment 14 section 3. Calling him president is nonsensical. Fangolives (talk) 03:01, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi there! I understand that you have a strong opinion on the subject, but Wikipedia isn't the place for expressing political opinions. Wikipedia requires all content to follow its core policies, including neutral point of view and verifiability. Describing the Trump administration as a "dictatorship" clearly goes against Wikipedia's standards for neutrality and original research, unless such terminology is widely used by reliable, independent sources and is properly attributed. Thanks. Jiffles1 (talk) 03:11, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
- The contents of the Constitution are not an opinion. The neutral point of view calls a dictatorship for what it is, it does not lie and claim that the dictatorship is legitimate. Fangolives (talk) 03:24, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
