Hello, पदाति, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! 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 Misplaced Pages? 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages. (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.

Information icon Hello, I'm Fowler&fowler. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Subhas Chandra Bose have been undone because they did not appear constructive.

Important Information

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.  Fowler&fowler«Talk» 04:40, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

@पदाति: The practical effect of the above notice is that edit warring at articles such as Indigenous peoples and Subhas Chandra Bose will result in a topic ban to prevent further disruption. Your account was created on 9 October 2021 and you have 18 edits in total, including your first which was to create a blank user page. You must discuss contested edits on the article talk page and wait for consensus. Johnuniq (talk) 05:45, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm GenQuest. Misplaced Pages is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to California High-Speed Rail seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Groups in the article are further identified in their own articles; this addition is not needed in this article. GenQuest 07:46, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
