[edit] Citing sources
There are many different citing techniques, and I'm not quote sure I understand your exact question. Wikipedia:Citing sources might have what you're looking for. If that doesn't help let me then know. Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance) is also a good place to ask questions like this. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 01:04, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Edit summaries
As promised, [1]. It's nice to see someone asking the right questions so early on. Let me know if you have any other questions. Eubulides is the main author of autism, and he'll surely weigh in tomorrow with a better explanation on the images. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:06, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- All right, thank you. I suppose I'll be back tomorrow with a look at the rest of the numbering guideline. Apologies for the confusion. Kroyw 04:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Not at all! You're doing far better than I was at that stage :-) Let me know if I can direct you to anything else. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:15, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'll go take a look at the rest of that guideline now and see what we can do about the numbering system. My guess is that different editors used whatever system was in use at the particular source they were citing at the time, and that different publications had different editorial policies. Seeing as this is a health topic, my hunch is that we may do well to set the bar fairly high (as in 1 to 99, then one hundred and greater). I'll go see whether that fits stylebook advice.

- Hi again, glad you're on it. Tony1 (talk · contribs) (who is a professional copyeditor) has put a lot of time into WP:MOSNUM, and looked over autism when it was peer reviewed and promoted to one of Wiki's best articles, so you should find it in pretty good shape. Other articles that aren't WP:FA are a whole 'nother story :-) Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:07, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
