Welcome
editHello, Emilytownsend and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ (talk) 20:40, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles.

Citation needed
editThanks for your efforts to fix [citation needed] problems on Dan Mintz. Adding a citation is a bit more complicated than replacing
{{citation needed|date=October 2016}}
with
{{http://www.somewebsite.com/somewebpage.html}}.
At a minimum, the enclosing double curly braces need to be changed to the wiki markup tags for references, like so:
<ref>http://www.somewebsite.com/somewebpage.html</ref>.
Doing this will make the inline citation display in the correct portion of the page (the references section), but is still far from optimal. Help:Referencing for beginners explains more refinements to referencing.
Also, any references added need to be to reliable sources. IMDB, like Wikipedia, is user-generated, so it is not a reliable source and should not be used as a reference. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:47, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
