Dear Uzma Gamal, |
|||
Thanks for your help as I wrote the article on Rudy Buttignol. I put at least 60 hours into it (over a 2 week plus period). I usually have to read "editor" notes like the ones you provided, a number of times before they sink into my Wikipedia practice. I find webreflinks extremely difficult to understand--probably because I don't understand what it does! |
|||
You mentioned that I should put the "Notes" for "Rudy Buttignol" under the "References" and I agree but don't know how to do that. Is it a mere cut & paste? |
|||
Also, I am still trying to navigate myself around the Wikipedia talk pages and came across a suggestion that you made re the final sentence in the 1st paragraph (related to BBC Kids). I loved your suggestion and would like to accept it but don't know how. |
|||
I hope that one day I can become proficient on Wikipedia and help other first-writers. |
|||
Thanks again for your help. |

Revision as of 23:53, 19 June 2012
Hello, Uzma Gamal, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}}
before the question. Again, welcome! Archive: 12
Re Rudy Buttignol Changed URLs from <ref> to external [link]; and added some book and newspaper articles as <ref>
Hi Uzma Gamal, I have changed all of my URLs from <ref> to [link]. I figure that this was the best thing to do as links are not sources. This information that I have linked is only available electronically.
As you suggested, I have also beefed up the references by adding 2 books and some newspaper (and other) articles
I tried to understand about Webreflinks but couldn't comprehend much. I understand about the fluidity of websites that may be here today and gone tomorrow. Does Webreflinks somehow capture the webpage that I am referring to?
There is a note at the top of the Rudy Buttignol page: "This article uses bare URLs for citations. Please consider adding full citations so that the article remains verifiable. Several templates and the Reflinks tool are available to assist in formatting. (Reflinks documentation) (June 2012)"
There is a funny symbol after three of the links and I don't know how to turn them into numbered links. Career paragraph # 3: 1) after The View from Here 2) after Dying at Grace (2003) 3) after Academy of Cinema and Television
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your help with "Rudy Buttignol". I hope to hear from him on Wikipedia.
Dear Uzma Gamal, Thanks for your help as I wrote the article on Rudy Buttignol. I put at least 60 hours into it (over a 2 week plus period). I usually have to read "editor" notes like the ones you provided, a number of times before they sink into my Wikipedia practice.
