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.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Joint Entrance Examination – Advanced, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. WP:SHORTDESC reminds us "short descriptions are not intended to define the subject of the article, but rather to distinguish it from other similarly named articles in search results. Short descriptions provide a very brief indication of the field that is covered, a short descriptive annotation, and a disambiguation in searches (especially to distinguish the subject from similarly titled subjects in different fields)" and "Short descriptions exceeding 40 characters may be truncated in some contexts....Because they are intended to be scanned quickly, longer, more specific descriptions can be less useful."

List of schools in Delhi

Hello. Your recent edit to List of schools in Delhi appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 11:37, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Arjayay please search rajkiya pratibha vikas vidyalaya Kpaul24 (talk) 13:48, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What point are you trying to make? Rajkiya Pratibha Vikas Vidyalaya is a school system, not a specific school. The only one of their schools that I can see, which has its own article is Rajkiya Pratibha Vikas Vidyalaya, Shalimar Bagh, Delhi, which was already listed, before your additions, and still is. Arjayay (talk) 14:19, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Arjayay so if others have their own page then it's fine? Kpaul24 (talk) 09:59, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Mumbai, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not add any Indic script, to any of our India related articles, as you did at Mumbai, as this contravenes WP:NOINDICSCRIPT SovalValtos (talk) 10:32, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Tacyarg. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Rajdhani College, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 01:00, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tacyarg thankyou for the suggestion, added relevant links Kpaul24 (talk) 12:48, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Rajdhani College. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. SovalValtos (talk) 13:22, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SovalValtos but it's not promotional material but updation regarding the courses and students participation offered by the said college Kpaul24 (talk) 13:25, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NOTPROMO Independent sources are required.SovalValtos (talk) 17:00, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Mean as custard (talk) 13:38, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
