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?

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.

CS1 error on Economy of Malaysia

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Economy of Malaysia, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

Request reason:

Subject: Appeal Against Unjust Block on Wikipedia

I am writing to appeal the recent block placed on my Wikipedia account, as I believe it was issued without proper investigation and consideration of the circumstances surrounding the edit war.

During the edit war, I encountered several users who appeared to be fans or supporters of the individual whose page was being edited. Despite providing proper citations and adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines, these users continued to revert the edits without valid justification.

I strongly believe that my block was a result of bias and unfair treatment, as other users involved in the edit war were not subjected to similar sanctions. It is evident that the dispute was fueled by personal opinions rather than adherence to Wikipedia's policies.

I request a thorough review of the situation and urge you to reconsider the block placed on my account. I am committed to upholding Wikipedia's principles of neutrality, verifiability, and consensus-building, and I am willing to engage in constructive dialogue to resolve any disputes.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope for a fair and equitable resolution.

Decline reason:

You are not blocked for edit warring. You are blocked for violation of our biographies policy. You'll need to address this instead in any future unblock request. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 19:27, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Sak7340 (talk) 19:17, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

To be fair, there would probably have been no block without the edit warring. The repeated unsourced addition of "alleged" and the addition of "is known for being heavily trolled" in Wikipedia's voice to a biography led to the noticeboard reports and this decision. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:34, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

I added alleged because there is no proper source to claim that he is a journalist. His background shows he is a software engineer, that's why I used the word alleged. Sak7340 (talk) 19:53, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

If I have been blocked due to violations of biography policies, I would like to clarify that I have provided proper references and engaged in discussions in the talk section. However, other users continue to edit without proper references or discussion. Sak7340 (talk) 19:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=If I have been blocked due to violations of biography policies, I would like to clarify that I have provided proper references and engaged in discussions in the talk section. However, other users continue to edit without proper references or discussion. [[User:Sak7340|Sak7340]] ([[User talk:Sak7340#top|talk]]) 19:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=If I have been blocked due to violations of biography policies, I would like to clarify that I have provided proper references and engaged in discussions in the talk section. However, other users continue to edit without proper references or discussion. [[User:Sak7340|Sak7340]] ([[User talk:Sak7340#top|talk]]) 19:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=If I have been blocked due to violations of biography policies, I would like to clarify that I have provided proper references and engaged in discussions in the talk section.

We don't need references to state that your addition of the word 'alleged' to the biography was a violation of our policies. Policies which permit immediate removal of content violating WP:BLP in particular. Likewise, your blatant editorialising is a violation. If you want to be unblocked, I suggest you make a proper appeal, acknowledging that Wikipedia policy determines what is or isn't permitted in articles. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:50, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
