Referencing

[edit]

I have 'collapsed' the earlier warnings, above.

The essential thing is, that you start using references to 'reliable sources'.

You have to say where information comes from - books, newspapers, etc.

See WP:VRS.

How references work

You put reference details directly after each 'fact', in-between <ref> and </ref>.

The system then makes a small number, like [1]

You also need a 'reflist'.

The two parts looks like this;

a)
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>
b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";
== 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.

The article you created "Pobreng Alindahaw" was deleted, because it had no references. I have re-written it and recreated it, in a valid format - see Pobreng Alindahaw.

Please read Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners.

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Dumbele. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.  Chzz  ►  13:57, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
