Talk:Slowth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Added References section

The article did not contain any 'reliable sources' as references. See Wikipedia:Verifiability. I added a reference from The Hindu newspaper. Major newspapers are considered reliable sources. Discussion groups and forums are not, so I deleted the quote from the Yahoo discussion board. I believe the article is notable enough, but that notability had not been demonstrated. That's why I added a newspaper reference, to prevent the entire article from getting deleted. The article still needs some cleaning up. My suggestion is to first look for 'reliable sources' of information. Don't copy paragraphs of information directly, as that would be a breach of copyright. Rewrite it using your own words. Add a reference to the article for every piece of information you add. Study the format of the reference I added (Hindu Times). The reference is added 'inline' (which means next to the text in the article), but it will automatically be displayed in the References section at the bottom of the article. See Wikipedia:Citation_templates for Templates for other types of references. If you follow these guidelines, you will prove to other Wiki editors that your information is accurate and notable, and it is less likely that other editors will challenge your information or the article. Cheers, and happy editing. Pigmypossum (talk) 12:11, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
