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.

Please stop!

Please stop removing, adding, or changing something that you did in both articles Arithmetic and Counting. All of those edits you were trying to make are considered as disruption. If you want to make something a so-called experiment, please use your own sandbox: User:Logusmonkey/sandbox. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 15:16, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's please try to be generous with newcomers.

Hi @Logusmonkey, and welcome to Wikipedia. While anyone including you is free to edit any article at any time to make improvements, it is helpful to use the edit summary to explain why you are making a change, especially if it's not obvious.

Arithmetic in particular is a "good article" because it passed through an explicit peer review. Phlsph7 did a tremendous amount of work cleaning the article up starting late last year; compare the previous version special:permalink/1181710097. Like every other article on Wikipedia, further improvements are welcome, including bold changes. However if you want to rearrange the text of the lead section or make other significant changes, you should expect to have those changes reverted by anyone else who disagrees that they make the article better. If you still support your changes, you can start a conversation about it at Talk:Arithmetic. (See also WP:BRD.) –jacobolus (t) 16:09, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your polite explanation @Jacobolus. The changes I've made to arithmetic in hindsight is not that good and keeping the status quo of the article might be better. I don't know that there's an editor taking care of the article, and for that, I want to say sorry to him. @Dedhert.Jr, I'm sorry, but if you are the one that write the counting article, I don't know who are you targeting it to. The introduction to the article is way too complicated and of no use to anybody. Logusmonkey (talk) 18:23, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm... okay. My apologies for the rudeness of your point of view. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 23:57, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would a layperson read the article, seeing "Counting is the process of determining the number of elements of a finite set of objects; that is, determining the size of a set" and goes "wow, that made total sense"? Logusmonkey (talk) 04:19, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first few sentences could probably be made more accessible, but I think your version also has some rough patches. If you like, feel free to start a conversation at talk:Counting with a few concrete criticisms and suggestions, and see what other Wikipedians think. –jacobolus (t) 04:59, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hanoi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page City of Peace. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:59, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hanoi photo edits

Hi,

Please stop changing the photos when editing Hanoi's page. These photos are agreed upon by the whole community and represents the best features of the city. If you want to make a suggestion, do that in the talk page and don't change the photos yourself. It's okay to change minor texts and information within the page, but please leave the photos alone. JamesVuBigBrain (talk) 20:46, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also if you want to change the entire paragraph on top, make sure you discuss first before changing it yourself. Your newer version did not include many important information about the city, so the older version was restored. JamesVuBigBrain (talk) 21:13, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

STOP EDITING OR BAN

Immediately stop changing, rewriting, and fixing stuff in Hanoi. All of your edits are considered as disruption and will be reported and flagged if you continue. You changed multiple paragraphs and removed several important information on the page. Newly updated photos are unclear and insignificant (Trang Tien plaza is not of historic/cultural significance and should not be in the infobox). Please use your own sandbox to experiment and respect the page. ConciousHistorian (talk) 23:28, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you and jamesvubigbrain the same person? Logusmonkey (talk) 03:17, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are thousands of users on wikipedia updating information and ensuring accuracy. Your rewriting of an entire paragraph omitting important information and including insignificant photos is disruption. You have been flagged multiple times for changing info in different articles such as Arithmetic, Counting, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City. There are many users trying to undo all of your edits.
