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.

Your thread has been archived

Hi Svartava! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Question with the article Ehelepola Nilame, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days.

You can still read the archived discussion. If you have follow-up questions, please create a new thread.

See also the help page about the archival process. The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} on top of the current page (your user talk page). Muninnbot (talk) 19:02, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Problematic messages on your talk page

If someone leaves a fowl message like that, please report them to wp:AIV. I reported 117.225.101.165 (talk · contribs) and they are blocked for a day. If they do it again, another AIV should increase the block for a week. You can also request that your talk and user pages be protected. See wp:RfPP. I suppose that would need to be done for every language. You can also setup a special page for anons to leave messages on such as user talk:Svartava/Anon for instance.

@Adakiko: That was an LTA from hiwiki, Adam Chacko. Cheers, —Svārtava (t/u) • 10:44, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You said an exit wass deleted for no source …

But the info on the page has no sources and literally 99.9 percent of the information is unverified (and cannot be verified) and you allow it. You’re helping a fraudulent criminal lie. Why? 47.134.6.218 (talk) 08:36, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You were making the article contradict itself by add by adding words like false, etc. besides the information given. Read WP:CHALLENGE. —Svārtava (t/u) • 08:42, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was correcting lies on an article

Perpetrating lies by a criminal and you’re not making him list sources. What are you saying? Is English your 7th language? 47.134.6.218 (talk) 08:44, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the Joe K page..

Not subject to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHALLENGE, but the revisions are? Please explain…. 47.134.6.218 (talk) 08:46, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the article is also subject to WP:CHALLENGE, and you could have simply removed the material rather than making statements such as "false" etc. which made the article look just nonsensical and self-contradictory. I have now removed the unsourced material from the article, which may be restored by anyone else if they provide sources for it. Thanks, —Svārtava (t/u) • 10:07, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can not remove historically accurate information that has been on Wiki for years. I have been editing this article for years. Your removal of factual information is improper. Vandalism has been taking place on this page for years. It will continue to be monitored and updated with factual information. Work history, is not subject to citations where none are available.
