Hey admin take my greetings. I am a newly joined user and interested to edit.But I do not want to edit at this time. I will edit later if it is possible. So I want to know about 4 question from you.

1. How do I edit the article by adding acceptable information?

2. How do I add references to articles?

3. How do I draw attention to a user in my talk page without commenting on his talk page?

4. How do I communicate with others through email?

I expect you will answer this. Ksmda12 (talk) 01:53, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you really a new user? In some ways you don't give that impression, but I will take your word for it. I will answer your questions out of order, starting with the ones which I think are easiest.

• 3: There are several slightly different versions of how to do this, but the following is as good as any. If you post on a talk page, either your own or another one, and you want to call another user's attention to your post, do the following. Suppose for example that I am the user you wish to notify. Then in your message include {{ping|JBW}}. Make sure that you also sign your message with ~~~~. If you do that, the user will be automatically notified of your message. (WARNING: Where you typed {{ping|JBW}} it will show up on the page as @JBW: but just typing @JBW: will not work.) Also, make sure that you post {{ping|JBW}} and ~~~~ in the same message: doing one and then making a separate edit to do the other won't work. Now here is a real example of doing that: @Ksmda12:. You should receive a notification from that.
• 4: Go to your preferences. Email options are in the "user profile" tab. Set an email address, and make sure that "Allow other users to email me" is selected. After you have done that, if you are on the user page or user talk page of any user, there will be an "email this user" link. (To get to preferences, if you are using the default user interface (known as "Vector 2022") you need to use a drop-down list from the little silhouette of a person's head near the top right hand corner of the page. However, I don't recommend Vector 2022; in my opinion "MonoBook" is much easier to use. That too can be changed in preferences.)
• 2: Adding references can, I'm afraid, be confusing for new editors. The main guideline on referencing is Wikipedia:Citing sources, but that is so long and complex that there's a simpler version at Help:Referencing for beginners.
• 1: I'm afraid there is really no simple answer to that question, because there are many different aspects of it, and many different situations that may arise. On your talk page I will give you some links to various policies, guidelines, and information pages, which may help. Don't try to read and learn all of them, because there's too much there, but do have a look and see if some of them are useful to you, and of course you can always come back and read more of them later, if you wish to. However, I will give you one piece of advice which I very strongly urge you to follow. Start out by making very small improvements to articles, and don't make major changes until you have a significant amount of experience of how Wikipedia works. New editors who try to dive straight into large scale editing, such as writing whole new articles, very often have a frustrating and disheartening experience, as they keep doing things they didn't know wouldn't be acceptable, so that their work keeps getting reverted or deleted.

I hope at least some of those comments may be helpful to you. JBW (talk) 19:43, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A sockpuppet user[1] is still vandalizing the Virtua Fighter 5 page[2], making a statement that's up to those who made the game to say that its the final game and this user is ignoring the fact that they're still making updates to the last game from 2021.108.208.137.30 (talk) 22:11, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thankyou for responding to my recent request for help from a administrator, I am wondering if you can help me with clarification of the process for investigation into these matters for now and in the future as I do not want to become the problem. Thankyou for your time. Foristslow (talk) 21:23, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you block this user, M S Hassan for reverting contructive edits by other users indefinitely. This user have been blocked thrice for edit warring. Thank you in advance. 175.136.86.211 (talk) 13:08, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't revert any of your edits, in fact you reverted my edit without any explanation. M S Hassan (talk | contributions) 13:26, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
