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?
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.

Alstom article

Hi Hajer-12, thanks for your work improving the Alstom article. However, to prevent vast numbers of minor edits clogging up editors' watchlists, may I ask if you would consider grouping multiple small improvements into one edit? For example, in the last 50 minutes, your 9 edits to this page could, theoretically, have been grouped into just one edit. Feel free to use the 'Preview edit' box when using the Source editor to do this. Not a major issue, but just a little tip for the future! Thanks again, Mattdaviesfsic ( talk) 18:13, 18 December 2022 (UTC) reply

Hello, thank you for your feedback! I have just started and thought I should take it slowly on Alstom. You will notice that on Legrand, upon which I have done deeper research, I am grouping together the important changes. Well-noted and I am implementing :)!

Refs for Rare Beauty

Hi Hajer-12. I reverted two of the three references you added to Rare Beauty [1] TheRichest.com doesn't appear reliable, and the cosmeticsbusiness.com ref was a doubly-redundant, warmed-over press release. The third is similarly poor, and I've left it but would not argue for it's inclusion if it came up. You may want to check WP:RSP and WP:RSN in the future to help determine if a source is reliable. - Hipal ( talk) 20:57, 1 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Additions to DICK's Sporting Goods page.

Hi Hajer-12, I see that you've contributed to the pages of Columbia Sportswear and Decathlon (retailer) in the past. I hope you will consider implementing the edit request I posted at Talk:Dick's Sporting Goods#Additions to page. Since Dick's Sporting Goods is also a sports retailer, I thought you'd be an appropriate person to edit their page. Thank you, Amanda144 ( talk) 15:36, 4 March 2024 (UTC) reply
