[edit] Citations

Hi and welcome. You'll find citation information here: WP:REF. Rklawton 17:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

The tag is directed at the article in general. Rklawton 18:33, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Does (album)

Hi, that is a problem that comes up quite often. A quick google search should be able to find some good sources- The band's website, the record label's website, shopping websites, directory websites and the like, which will have most of the information on. On the other hand, referencing the CD insert for any information that you can't find reliable sources for would be a perfectly valid option. Feel free to contact me if I can be of any help.

For websites, Template:Cite web arranges it very nicely. J Milburn 19:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh, sorry, forgot to mention, cite web works best when you use the <ref></ref> tags. They are explained here, and aren't nearly as complicated as they first look. J Milburn 19:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Yep, much better. Thanks for doing that, most new editors just can't be bothered to. Good work. J Milburn 19:53, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Strobilus, I notice that you're interested in open-source/free software. Please consider joining WikiProject Free Software. We're just starting out, and we could really use some members. Thanks! Geekman314(contact me) 22:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing Discussions

Hi Strobilus. Just a quick heads up, we never remove discussions, if the page is full (read too long) we archive them, so we can gaze back on history and know why we have done what we have done. I leave it with you to restore that discussion, I think you should. WayeMason 13:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
