Tips on referencing
[edit]There are lots of ways to do this, some are simple, some more complex.
Personally, I like using citation templates, and fill in as much as I possibly can; maybe a bit more work, but I think it looks better. You have a <REF> at the start, then a suitable cite tag, then </REF>. An example usage is;
<ref> {{Citation | last = Preston | first = Peter | title = D. H. Lawrence in the modern world | last2 = Hoare | first2 = Peter | publication-date = 1989 | place = [[Cambridge]], [England] | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] | page = 125 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4 | url = http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=J5nRoaOwkPMC&printsec=frontcover#PPA125,M1 | accessdate = 2008-05-11 }} </ref>
For all the possible things to include, see Template:Citation
Of course, you don't have to put everything in, just whatever you can. The above example is a book, but I've included a 'convenience link' to a website that displays it.
Then, at the end of the document (but before any 'category' tags), you need a references section. You just put,
== References == {{reflist}}
Hard work? - help is at hand. There are lots of tools that create cite tags automagically. Personally, I use Zotero for the web links, and the cite book generator for books.
I also recommend you look at other articles and copy from them - especially featured articles, which should have good refs.
Hope this help, cheers, Chzz ► 03:23, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited William J. Tully, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Episcopal Church. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
