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

Hello, Kabel1927, 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?
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.

Your recent editing history at Death shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. tgeorgescu (talk) 21:25, 25 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

I’m sorry isn’t the idea of permanence required in the article? Kabel1927 (talk) 21:34, 25 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Life, you may be blocked from editing. tgeorgescu (talk) 23:13, 25 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

That wasn’t unsourced Kabel1927 (talk) 23:19, 25 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Permanent is WP:V (verbatim). tgeorgescu (talk) 23:24, 25 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

It’s still means permanent though. Permanent and lasting have pretty much the same damn meaning. Kabel1927 (talk) 01:16, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

I meant the same meaning Kabel1927 (talk) 01:17, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Verify lasting then too Kabel1927 (talk) 01:23, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

How to edit or delete replies in talk page

edit
You can delete content from your talk page the same way you edit content in articles. However, the history of the page will not change, so there's no point in changing what other people have said. DS (talk) 01:46, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Can u delete discussions on your talk page? Kabel1927 (talk) 02:10, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Kinu t/c 13:32, 28 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Ferret. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Battle royale game have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. -- ferret (talk) 17:59, 28 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to WXIA-TV, 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. We've been moving away from listing cable channels in the ledes of TV station articles. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 00:37, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at The Super Mario Bros. Movie, you may be blocked from editing. Mike Allen 03:05, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Tom & Jerry Kids. WPscatter t/c 15:43, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. Thank you.

Please don't add incorrect information to Autism spectrum. I've twice reverted your edits now, next time I'll have to report you for disruptive editing.--TempusTacet (talk) 19:22, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

What did I vandalize? Kabel1927 (talk) 00:26, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Kabel1927, you changed the word release to iteration on every article about the major releases of iOS. Though changing singular words on Wikipedia is allowed unless it changes the meaning of the text, I bet you can agree that the word release fits better than iteration. I am content to assume good faith, but it appears you have a history of making suspicious edits. ItsCheck (talk) 00:10, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I just like to use big words to expand one’s vocabulary. Kabel1927 (talk) 13:14, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Like vocabulary no one's familiar with; my intent is to make people familiar with unfamiliar vocabulary. Kabel1927 (talk) 13:16, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Kabel1927, Wikipedia does have big words but does is really sound right to say iteration? I understand that you did not make a bad edit. ItsCheck (talk) 00:32, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Iteration means “a new version of a piece of computer hardware or software.” Kabel1927 (talk) 13:34, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Kagney Linn Karter, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 03:40, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Mvcg66b3r. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, KLEW-TV, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 22:07, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
