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

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Faizan Global Relief Foundation has been accepted[edit]

Faizan Global Relief Foundation, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

An important message about adding hyperlinks[edit]

Hi ArshaqArif, welcome to Wikipedia and many thanks for your efforts to improve the encyclopedia by adding wikilinks to other articles! I just wanted to let you know that you should probably read MOS:REPEATLINK (the whole page, MOS:LINK, is also good to read in general, though it's a little bit long). In short, we try not to link to the same article more than once on a page, especially in close proximity (with some exceptions). For example, at Portsmouth you recently added a link to Southsea Castle. However, in the paragraph just above, Southsea Castle was already linked - this should be avoided if possible. Thanks, and happy editing — Jumbo T (talk) 09:56, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for guiding me, and I'm sorry I didn't notice the previous link. I'll take care about it further. ArshaqArif (talk) 10:05, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

January 2023[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In one of your recent edits, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. Technopat (talk) 10:31, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for guidance. Working on it. ArshaqArif (talk) 11:02, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
