Hello
Hi there.
Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia.
Re. Robert E. Millette - it is a good start, but it really could use some inline citations, so we can see where the facts come from.
How references work |
---|
Simple referencesThese require two parts;
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
== References == {{reflist}} (an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections) To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:At-par/reftest and try it out. Named referencesChzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook"> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/> Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result. Citation templatesYou can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look; Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation | last = Smith | first = John | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century | publication-date = 2001 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] | page = 125 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4 }} </ref> Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result. For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs. |
It would also be good if you could link from some other articles to this one.
I notice that you have blanked this page several times, and that is fine - but it would be clearer if, instead, you moved the files into an archive page - User talk:At-pa/Archive 1. If you did so, you could just put {{archive box}} at the top of this page, to give easy access to it.
When writing further articles, in the future, you may want to make a user space draft before moving it to the live area - so that you can work on it before it goes live, without having problems with proposed deletions, etc.
Thank you again, and thanks for your time reading this.
For more help, you can either;
- Leave a message on my own talk page;
OR
- Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end;
OR
- Talk to us live, with this or this.
The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello. Chzz ► 13:55, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
