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.

Euthanasia[edit]
You are right that the picture about Socrates is not about euthanasia. But saying he is executed is also not correct. "Forced suicide" is the correct term. The Banner talk 09:16, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- fuck off nerd i didnt ask for you to correct my minor terminology mistakes that ultimately didnt matter for the edit i was making, you sound like a redditor Ulcerative (talk) 02:52, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- There is no need for personal attacks here. What we need is correct information. The Banner talk 09:57, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- You would have a point if what I wrote was in an actual article. However what I had written was in an edit description where the difference between execution and forced suicide is inconsequential, since the only important part of my edit description was the fact that the painting did not depict euthanasia. By coming on to my talk page to correct me on such trivial mistakes you have shown that you are a pedantic redditor who should kill himself. Ulcerative (talk) 10:26, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- It does not matter where you place personal attacks. The Banner talk 10:55, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
