Adoption offer

edit

I just thought I would drop in and see if you're still looking to be adopted, I'm pretty active and hopefully should be answer any questions (or find the answers to the ones I can't). Let me know on my talk page if you're interested. By the way, I had a look at the Glenn Miller article and re-added the reference section. However, we could probably do some work on it to convert all those bare references and in-line citations. Would be a good first project. xenocidic (talk) 03:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I deleted the internal link from the reference. It wasn't a proper form for reference anyways.

One thing we can think about doing to improve the Glenn Miller article is using proper citation templates. The first time a book is cited, it should use the following form:

Indeed you don't have to use every field, but the most important ones (like author, title, etc.) should be filled in.

The next time the book is cited, the form being used now is fine (<ref>Smith, 191</ref>).

As for URL citations, here is the proper cite template:

I typically include at least the url, title, date, acccessdate, and it would be a good idea to include the author, and publisher if applicable.

Here's a handy tip for citing the same website multiple times in the article. If the first time you cite it, you use the format <ref name=insertdescription>{{cite web...}}</ref>, the next time you cite the same article, you can just type <ref name=insertdescription/>.

If you have any questions on the above, or would rather work on something else, just let me know. xenocidic (talk) 13:50, 1 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
