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.
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. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors
assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not appear to do at
Talk:Adam's Bridge. Here is Wikipedia's
welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! Thank you very much!

I have not edited a single word in the Adam's Bridge main page, I am not a vandal. I am shocked at receiving this message from you. On record, I have not made use of any abusive or derogatory language(or even a word) in the talk page cited by you. Could you please point out which comment or sentence or word posted by me is uncivil/abusive/ derogatory in this talk page? Hereby, I will desist from making any further comments or arguments in this particular talk page, since you have flagged this to me. I am actively considering never again to have anything to do with wiki edits or talk page following this rather shocking insinuation from you.

That's not the way I read your comments, but given that your other talk page edits on other articles seem fine, it's possible I overinterpreted.
