Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, Meridiana solare, 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?

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.

European ex-royalty/nobility articles tagging

We get that you don’t think deposed/former royal houses etc should have ongoing references to past titles or even have articles. It’s a ‘point of view’ (POV) that’s often been debated at various articles. But notability tagging or ‘expert needed’ tagging is WP:POINTy and an incorrect use of maintenance tags. By all means open up a talk page discussion - but when there are multiple newspaper articles about the subject cited, for instance, the notability tag is inappropriate per WP:GNG.

Allowed Wikilinks

Hi, please could you note that it is not overlinking to link the first instance in the main text, as well as once in the lead, and once in an image caption. Other links may be acceptable in some cases All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 02:13, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

@Chiswick Chap, sorry, which article are you talking about? Meridiana solare (talk) 13:53, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Oh sorry, Silmarils. I put a couple of links back. All ok now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:29, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

@Chiswick Chap But they were not in an image caption, the were both the main text (once in lead section and once in another section). Actually one wikilinks was repeated the very next line of text. Meridiana solare (talk) 14:33, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

I only mentioned the caption as a further instance which would be ok. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:35, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

What you just posted did not substitute properly. I suggest you try again, but this time, precede "Uw-test1" with "subst:"

@Anita5192, thank you. I've give a look. It's seem that a bot has already substed it. Meridiana solare (talk) 19:45, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Calicanto

Buona sera @Meridiana solare. Nel mio più recente commento sulla Wikipedia in Italiano, ho dichiarato che non modificherò più almeno fino al 29 febbraio incluso, prendendo atto dei consigli tuoi e degli altri utenti. Per quanto riguarda la tua curiosità, me lo hanno detto nella mia pagina di discussione. In particolare: "However, wikipedia admins of any project tend to look kindly on a history of constructive contributions to other Wikimedia projects, so if you can undertake to build up such a history of constructive contributions for six months or a year, with no socking on the Italian Wikipedia, a subsequent unblock request may be granted". Comunque ripeto che come ho già detto non contribuirò, nè da IP nè da altra utenza, almeno fino al 29 febbraio/1 marzo, sulla Wikipedia in Italiano 14 novembre (talk) 18:54, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

@14 novembre Sì, ma non sono tenuti a farlo. Può invogliare un pochino a sbloccare, se già ci sono altri motivi per farlo e i motivi del blocco non erano gravi (ora io non so cosa sia successo nel tuo caso, ma il blocco è infinito, quindi non penso una cosa leggera..)

P.S. 29 febbraio / 1 marzo mi sembra po' prestino, vorrebbe dire -hanno detto che si bloccato da 2 mesi- 4 mesi di blocco. Magari avresti più possibilità di successo se non ti prefiggesti questi "obbiettivi" di tornare per un giorno X. E capire, visti gli ultimissimi messaggi allo Aiuto:Sportello informazioni , perché anche (alcune? molte?) delle tue modifiche non vandaliche non vadano bene. Meridiana solare (talk) 18:59, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

@Meridiana solare Non ti voglio far perdere tempo in una cosa che non ti riguarda, comunque il mio caso (anche e soprattutto nel primo blocco) era stato segnalato nei CU, quindi puoi vedere lì. Poi ti ringrazio per il consiglio di non pormi obbiettivi di rientro, comunque era una dichiarazione di non voler assolutamente contribuire prima di quella data, di poter valutare, magari sentendo il parere di qualcuno qui. E comunque, assolutamente, nel periodo di inattività (più o meno lungo che sia) rifletterò su cosa c'era che non andava in modo da non fare gli stessi errori al momento di eventuale rientro. Grazie di nuovo per la disponibilità e buona serata 14 novembre (talk) 19:09, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Evidente vandalismo Coppa dei Campioni 1983-1984

Da correggere risultato finale nel tabellone, grazie 14 novembre (talk) 19:55, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Eh, @14 novembre, di calcio non me ne intendo proprio, tanto meno dei (complicati e spesso per nulla intuitivi) template e sintassi che usano. Meridiana solare (talk) 20:39, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Va bene grazie lo stesso. A chi posso segnalare? 14 novembre (talk) 18:27, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Di utenti non saprei. In teoria dovresti segnalarlo nella pagina di discussone della voce, ma sei bloccato. Meridiana solare (talk) 18:51, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

@Meridiana solare Grazie della risposta, se non fossi bloccato avrei potuto farlo anch'io. Cercherò di farlo presente qui sulla wikipedia inglese a qualche utente di quella italiana che contribuisce molto sul calcio. Buona serata 14 novembre (talk) 18:53, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
