Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using [[double square brackets with|thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people]]
Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
Now you know how to add pictures to Wikipedia, why not add your own? This shows you articles that are near you. Is there one without a picture or where you could take a better one? In many countries modern buildings are still copyrighted, but not in the UK and some other places. This is the upload page on Wikimedia Commons.
Add headings with ==double equal signs==
If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Four or more sections and you get a table of contents.
When you add information to Wikipedia please summarize things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format <ref>[The webpage, book or magazine you are citing, a description, the word "retrieved" and today's date]</ref>
If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it yourself. If you know it is wrong, correct it, if you can't find a source then ((fact)) adds the famous [citation needed]. If, after a week no-one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.
''Double single quotes'' gives you Italic and '''triple quotes''' Bold.
Many Wikipedians organise themselves by subject area, we have hundreds of WikiProjects ranging from Arts to Zoology, and I'm sure there will be ones that fit your interests. A good place to look for them is Category:WikiProjects by topic, alternatively the talkpages of articles you are interested in may have links to relevant Wikiprojects.
Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.
Current signature: [[User:Sofy2004|<font face="Bookman Old Style" color="#99 32 cc "><big>''Sofy''</big></font>]] [[User talk:Sofy2004|<font face="Bookman old style" color="99 32 cc"><sup>''<big>₪</big>''</sup></font>]]''
Fixed signature: [[User:Sura Shukurlu|<big><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style'; color:#9932cc ;">''Sofy''</span></big>]] [[User talk:Sura Shukurlu|<sup>''<big><span style="font-family:'Bookman Old Style'; color:#9932cc ;">₪</span></big>''</sup>]]

AntonSamuel, Hi! This is territory of Azerbaijan de facto. Why? --Surə🗯 19:08, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sura Shukurlu: The claim by pro-Azeri sources regarding the village being captured by Azerbaijan has not been confirmed by neutral or pro-Armenian sources per WP:NPOV. The article already explains this. AntonSamuel (talk) 19:11, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Sura Shukurlu. I have been looking through the informative articles you have written about women and their works since the beginning of the year. If you intend to continue along these lines, you might like to join WikiProject Women in Red where we are trying to improve coverage of women on Wikipedia. You can sign up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:21, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I had been thinking about it and I would be happy to register, thanks. Surə🗯 09:13, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Quick work! So welcome to Women in Red. While your editing has already reached a high standard, when writing about women you may find some useful tips in our Primer. I've taken the liberty of adding the WIR user box to your user page where others will be able to see your interest in the project. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 12:16, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ipigott: Thanks for your attention to my contributions and for all the guidelines you provide me; it helped me a lot to have an idea about the project. --Sura Shukurlu (talk) 15:54, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your contributions to Aliya Rustambeyova. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 14:18, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
