I'm already locked out of the page I created. They want a citation and I have it, but don't know how to apply it (them)
Locked out? If the citation is a web page, place it in like this next to the cited statement: [http://www.yourcitationurlhere.fart] (replace my fake URL with the url of your page, I mean the page, since original research is not allowed on Wikipedia! ViperSnake151 22:51, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Also see WP:CITET for some help with citing articles --Longing.... 23:16, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


How do I do this when the edit button isn't available?

The edit button should always be available. If not, it will say "View source", which is because the page was protected from editing due to vandalism. Please take a picture of the problem for us, and post it on imageshack --Longing.... 00:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

The link this link I hope I did this right...

What language is this?Fishing464 01:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Why are you looking at the page's source code? Please look at the actual page in HTML. If you are having problems with netscape, try another browser, such as Opera or Firefox --Longing.... 01:16, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Before you look, thank you for your time. Is this what you mean? <a href="http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture10au5.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/2310/picture10au5.th.gif" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a> Fishing464 01:41, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Never Mind... In my angst to send you the right info it has returned and I didn't even notice. Sorry Fishing464 01:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem. In the future, please do not add the {{helpme}} tag every time you leave a comment, it makes it hard to read, and it pretty annoying. If I wasn't planning on helping you, I wouldn't have removed it ^^ --Longing.... 01:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you once again. You've been extremely patient with me...Fishing464

Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Read the links people put on your page. They're there for a good reason --L--- 03:15, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


I can't figure out the Sandbox deal. I know I'm a dope, but this is all really foreign to me. Fishing464 03:27, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Also the problem I'm having is setting up the citation thing. There's something I'm not doing coding wise. Fishing464 03:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Again, see the links I posted above. If you need a sandbox, use WP:SANDBOX --L--- 03:32, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
