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?
- 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.

A problem is none of these explicitly make the point which then if summarized incorrectly result in Wikipedia:SYNTH. So it's problematic. Another problem is that from a wikipedia pov several of these sources lack standing relative to being included in wikipedia. It's also been a little bit since I verified the urls. I share them here to give you a sense that I've been looking into these things too. But some of have more standing than others. But this might be a place to get started from in making the case you are speaking of. There is also some work specifically in the Panentheism arena probably. Smkolins (talk) 12:55, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
- I also highly suggest you begin in someplace like [1] and create a sandbox article to work on the syntax. Smkolins (talk) 13:02, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
- And then add {{sand}} (without the nowiki syntax) as a content at the top so that it's more clearly a sandbox article in development. Smkolins (talk) 13:06, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
