[edit] References

Further information: Wikipedia:Footnotes, Wikipedia:Citation templates

I notice you're still having a bit of confusion over adding references so I thought I'd drop you some examples on your talk page.

There are various different ways to produce references, the easiest is to just type between the <ref> and </ref> tags like this -

<ref>Example 1, [http://en.wikipedia.org Source 1], [[Wikipedia]], [[January 1]] [[2007]]</ref>

Which would appear below at reference point 1.[1]

As you may know already; we wikilink the full date of January 1, 2007 because the display of this can be changed via user preferences, for example all dates appear on my screen as Day Month Year no matter how they are typed.

[[January 1]] [[2007]], [[1 January]] [[2007]], [[2007-01-01]] all appear the same if you've set the time and date preference.
January 1, 2007, 1 January 2007, 2007-01-01 all appear the same if you've set the time and date preference.

We can use templates between the <ref> tags like {{Citeweb}} as you've seen before. To see instructions on using Citeweb, click it's link above, for a list of all citation templates: see Wikipedia:Citation templates. All GOOD templates have instructions for use and the fields available and what each bit does.

We can use named refs to duplicate entries quickly and easily, the information need only be entered in the first instance of that particular ref on a page, it is ignored for all other instances. e.g. -

<ref name="example">This is a test of the ref name format</ref> -[2]
<ref name="example">This is a test of the ref name format using different text to show only the first instance will display</ref> -[2]
<ref name="example"> </ref> -[2]
<ref name="example"/> -[2]

If you see a template being used in a page and want to see how to use it, click edit and then hit preview. If you scroll to the very bottom of the page, a list of templates used is shown. You can then click on these template's links to see the information and instructions for it if any.

If using the templates is onerous or time consuming for you, you can also use an external program called Wikicite which simplifies the process a little.

Hope this is of some help, - Foxhill 11:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Felicia Browne

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Felicia Browne, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/WbrowneF.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 10:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Nan-Youngman.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 14:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
