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.

Informal Tottenham Hotspur project

Hey, as it seems that creating a taskforce under Wikiproject Football likely won't happen, if you're still interested I'd say it's still a good idea to try as an informal project. We can set it up in a similar way to the Tottenham Hotspur women project page I linked in the initial discussion, creating a place to make tasks, list articles of interest, etc., and we can always create subpages (like the women's one) to tackle more specific parts of the scope.

We can also try and see if there are frequent editors of Spurs related articles and make them aware of what we're trying to do. Christiangamer7 (talk) 07:44, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, why not. Do you want to put it in your userspace?

I guess you could try pinging someone who you know may be interested into this discussion or into the original discussion Pksois23 (talk) 08:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is User:Christiangamer7/THFC, and I don't currently know of any others of interest but can look into it. Christiangamer7 (talk) 18:47, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That looks great, I will see if I can find anyone else. Pksois23 (talk) 01:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Realized we could look through Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Members, and just ctrl+f for "Tottenham" and then message folks. I'll start leaving some messages tonight, linking them to the page. Christiangamer7 (talk) 02:31, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ended up reaching out to all the folks on that list, there's another group to potentially look at Category:Wikipedians interested in Tottenham Hotspur F.C. but I'll leave it with the initial group for now. Christiangamer7 (talk) 02:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, I'll try looking for people outside of these lists Pksois23 (talk) 02:53, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
