Use the {{citation needed}} template to request a citation at the end of a sentence or paragraph. Simply insert the template at the end of the sentence or paragraph by adding {{citation needed}} so it looks like this:[citationneeded] Resist the urge to insert this template into multiple sentences in the same article. Instead, use the {{not verified}} template at the top of the appropriate page or section.
Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

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 ⌘ Cmd+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 ⌘ Cmd+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.

Hello, Welcoming committee/Welcome templates! I welcome a lot of new school page authors to Wikipedia, and I would like to thank you for your contribution(s). Unfortunately, the page you created didn't quite work out according to the school page guidelines and it still needs your urgent attention. It may already have been redirected to the school district because according to our policies, we don't think it matches the requirements for primary or middle schools.
When you've made the fixes, you can take your time for the rest, so you'll want to read up on Your First Article and check out:
If you are still stuck, you can ask a question at the School help page or you can even ask me on my talk page. I hope you'll stay around and even help out on some other school project tasks. Happy editing!~~~~

Hello, Welcoming committee/Welcome templates, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but your new page does not conform to our policies. Because you seem to be interested in improving the article, your page has been moved so that you can continue to work on it. This is called "userfication", and is intended for articles which currently do not meet our policies and guidelines but which may become acceptable after substantial editing. The previous location for your article currently serves as a redirect to the new location, and will be deleted shortly. Although you may move the article back to "mainspace" yourself, it is highly recommended that you send it through the Articles for Creation process instead, when the article is ready. This process lets other, experienced editors help you develop it into a suitable article. If you move the article back yourself instead, you understand that it will likely be speedily deleted or deleted after a community discussion.
If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. If you still have questions, there is a help desk, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.
I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! ~~~~

Questions about the draft creation and publishing process should be directed to the Articles for creation Help Desk instead, where you can get assistance directly from reviewers. Don't hesitate to reach out on my talk page if you have any specific questions. Once again, welcome– I hope you enjoy your time here!
Hello, Welcoming committee/Welcome templates/Template gallery! Welcome to Wikipedia! It appears that you are here to participate in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we highly encourage you to go through our training page that's specifically created and catered for students such as yourself:
If you run into any questions or need help with anything, you can visit Wikipedia's page for questions in order to receive assistance, or you can reach out to me directly by visiting my user talk page and leaving a message. Alternatively, you can also ask for help at any time by editing this page and placing {{Help me}} before your question. This will alert other editors and volunteers that you need assistance, and you'll receive a response as soon as someone is available. Please make sure that you sign your messages on discussion pages by entering four tildes (~~~~) at the very end of them; this will automatically insert your username along with the current date and time. I also highly recommend that you review the advice for students page for additional resources.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one, please tell your instructor about creating one. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know that the article is a subject of an educational assignment as well as aid your communication with them.
Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay with us as a member of the community—even after your assignment is finished. Your time, energy, and your contributions will be highly valued and appreciated among us.

Someone using this temporary account, Welcoming committee/Welcome templates, has made edits which do not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the help desk where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly.
If you did not make this change, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors. Logging in is not mandatory to read or edit pages on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. Without a username, a temporary account is used to identify you.
Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and a timestamp. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or just use this link to ask for help; a volunteer will visit you here shortly!
Someone using this temporary account, {{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}, has made edits that were made in good faith, but have been deemed not to contribute positively to the article. These edits have thus been reverted. Wikipedia's page on unacceptable additions may explain why. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.
If you are confused by this message as it does not appear to relate to you, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I greatly appreciate your constructive edits on Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:
Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for each edit, or a summary of what you changed.
Advantages of registering for a free account
You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but many editors recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits, such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, a temporary account (Welcoming committee) is used to identify you instead.
Another advantage of registering for a Wikipedia account, is that you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting:
Preferences→ Editing→ Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary)
Start by clicking the "Preferences" link at the top of the page.
In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you have questions, just use this link to ask for help; a volunteer will visit you here shortly!

You have made edits which do not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not already been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.
Logging in is not mandatory to read or edit pages on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. Without a username, a temporary account is used to identify you.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I greatly appreciate your efforts to fight vandalism on Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but I highly recommend that you create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. To make vandalism reverts easier you can ask for the rollback feature to be enabled for your registered Wikipedia account. If you edit without a username, a temporary account (Welcoming committee/Welcome templates) is used to identify you instead.
If you find yourself cleaning up vandalism frequently, you might be interested in patrolling recent changes.

Hello, Welcoming committee/Welcome templates, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article (or draft of an article) about yourself. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.
As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to or change it, please propose the changes on its talk page.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!
I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, are related to, or represent, the subject of that article.Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, which will be reviewed by other editors. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed.

Hello, Welcoming committee/Welcome templates, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the articles you created may not meet Wikipedia's content policies. In short, to be included on Wikipedia, the topic of an article must be notable and have been covered by published reliable and independent sources. Articles must be written in a neutral manner and may not contain AI generated material.
Please read Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article for review. Note that articles are reviewed by volunteers and that it can take some time. If you'd like someone else to create an article, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.
Task Center– for contributing to other articles. Writing a new article is tough, so getting experience elsewhere is useful.

However, there is a small issue with your username. As it is not in Latin script, it may be illegible to most other contributors to the English Wikipedia. Although usernames like yours are not prohibited, Wikipedia's signature guideline and username policy encourage you, as a courtesy to other users, to alter your signature so that it also includes a transliteration of your username using Latin characters, so others can see it correctly. For the how-to of tailoring your username, please see WP:CUSTOMSIG.
Thanks, and feel free to message me about anything.
Hello, Welcoming committee/Welcome templates, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole.

It appears you have translated text from a foreign-language Wikipedia onto the English Wikipedia without the required attribution. While you are allowed to translate articles across Wikipedias, you must provide an edit summary on the page, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. Sample wording for this is given here. If you forgot, or were not aware of this requirement, attribution must be given retroactively, for example:
NOTE: Content in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 was translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution.

Hello Welcoming committee/Welcome templates and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox (but beware that the contents of the sandbox are deleted frequently) rather than in articles.
If you still have questions, there is a Help desk, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

Hello, Welcoming committee, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created is an unreferenced biography of a living person. The Wikipedia community has decided that all biographies of living persons (BLPs) created after 18 March 2010 must have reliable sources, or they can be deleted.
This is not a judgement of the quality or notability of your article. If someone has put a {{prod blp}} template on the article (click this link to see what it looks like), you have seven days to add at least one reliable source to the article. Once you have added at least one reliable source to the article, you can remove the template. (To learn more about what is a reliable source, read Wikipedia:Reliable sources, and to learn how to cite sources, read Wikipedia:Citing sources. Or if you want an easier newcomer's look at citing sources, read Help:External links and references first.)
Going over some of the pages below will help you get a sense of Wikipedia, and knowing about Wikipedia's most important policies will help keep you out of trouble here (click [show] to see the links):
Wikipedia:NPOV – Wikipedia's neutral point-of-view policy for articles
Wikipedia:Notability – talks about how to determine whether or not a subject is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia
Wikipedia:3RR – Wikipedia's three-revert rule, which says you shouldn't revert a single page more than 3 times in 24 hours
Wikipedia:Deletion policy and Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion – two pages that talk about reasons for deleting an article. The second page talks about special reasons that allow pages to be deleted quickly and without discussion (attack pages, copyright violations, etc.)

We're a group of editors dedicated to improving medical articles on Wikipedia. I noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing Wikipedia articles are:
Sourcing: Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. These guidelines typically require recent secondary sources to support information. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used.
Accessibility: Keep in mind that readers often do not have a medical background, so make sure additions are understandable to a wide audience.
Collaboration The Wikipedia community includes a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens behind the scenes. If you encounter any problems or would like feedback, you can post a message on the WPMED talk page or discuss them on an article's talk page. If you would like to join, please add your name to the participant list.
Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any questions. I wish you all the best, and thank you for your help!

As you seem to be interested in copy editing articles, I thought you might be interested in the Guild of Copy Editors: a community of Wikipedia editors who volunteer some of their time working on the list of articles in need of copy editing. Joining the guild is simple and noncommittal, and its members provide an invaluable service to the English-language Wikipedia.
