[MoSockra]

[thinBillyBoy]

Is it possible to edit the top section of a wiki page? Because there is one that is really old.

[xxxxBunnyraptorxxxx]

I want to edit Justin Bieber and change it to the description of the penis.

I'm not the only one that thought he was typing "ASSHOLE" as the username, right?

[Mikaykay009]

lol Im editing Arks music factory.

[sambomberger]

What if there is a "locked" symbol next to the text. Are you not permitted to edit this text?

[tommorris]

@sambomberger Yes, if the page is locked it is because it has been vandalised by others. you can make suggestions on the talk page and an admin or trusted user will move the text into the article.

@tommorris lol,the charlie sheen page was locked.everyone was probably putting he's winning.

I changed Super Mario's page to "Is a real hobo, who wears the same clothes every day, who runs in sewers to find coins, and buy mushrooms with the coins, his brother, Luigi also does this." but wikipedia changed it yesterday

[PS3GamerN3rd]

[TheMohguy]

i tried to edit i dont have an account on wikipedia and it says my edit was unconstructive how do i get past the verification thing

[mutchy126]

@TheMohguy You SHOULD Get a Account, Wikipedia Shows your IP Address to the Public, IF A HACKER GETS YOUR IP HE COULD CONTROL YOUR COMPUTER AND STEAL PASSWORDS YOU ENTER OVER YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION

[pedrocol9]

i say wiki

[rathat48]

Everyone says "wikapedia" i think i'm the only person who says wiki not wika

[nn123654]

Note that you must have your own account, per the policy on Suckpuppets (WP:SOCK) role accounts are not permitted. Also note that Wikipedia has a policy on conflict of interest (WP:COI), you should take great care in editing articles for which you have a conflict of interest, and use the talkpage before you make any non-trivial edit to wikipedia. Avoiding topics where you have a COI is the best approach, wikipedia has over 3.5 million articles, so finding another one shouldn't be too hard.

[cp9lol]

what about tables how you edit them?

[nn123654]

@cp9lol You edit tables the same way you edit any other part of the page. Tables do follow wiki syntax, see Help:Table for information on what the syntax is. If you need help you can always use the New Contributor's Help Page (the shortcut is WP:NCHP, which you can navigate to by typing it in the search box) or post on your user talk page and use the {{helpme}} template.

[busybuzzbuzz]

When you said "your image" I thought you meant a profile picture or avatar.

[NeutralityChecker]

@theawsomegamefreak: Only admins can do that. Try adding {{db-author}} to a page your created. They would delete the page if you made all edits to the page before the tag was added.

[wikinihiltres]

Ugh, the image advice is horrible. Instead of adding it as an external link, include a thumbnail in the article by using syntax like the following:

[[File:StressAP.jpg|thumb|Capt­ion text]]

This will add a thumbnail of the file named "StressAP.jpg" (of default size and alignment) with the caption "Caption text".

[JustOneLastQuestion]

TYSM !!!! =)))

[UberBreannaDinosaur]
