Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, Oos88, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.

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?

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.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Your edits are under discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography#MOS:SIR. Please do not continue these edits while they are under discussion. See Wikipedia:Disruptive editing#Examples of disruptive editing #5. DrKay (talk) 13:52, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You have continued to add Dom and Dona to Portuguese monarchs despite being warned against doing so above. It is disruptive to continue a series of edits after being asked to stop. DrKay (talk) 18:45, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them.

• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Portugal, you may be blocked from editing. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 18:23, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Oos88, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Consuela9890 (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 19:02, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

I must say I myself thought about this, but I actually just started to edit after @Consuela9890 opened a new topic of discussion about File:Flag of Portugal.svg regarding the color of the flag, which I never quite understood why they are like that, but I added a few files back on commons before, since then I try to be only a reader but when I see something I know, I try to change it, but I keep it at the bare minimum. Btw, I'm portuguese who likes to talk about our history, like so many of us so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a couple of people who eddit portuguese pages on a certain pattern purely by coincidence, so it's understandable your concern, but I don't know anyone who is on wikipedia/or have multiple accounts Oos88 (talk) 19:19, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

I am going around now warning editors who continue to editwar on Portugal may be blocked. If it is found you are coordinating with another contributor, that's another blockable offense. BusterD (talk) 19:22, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
