TTP

You've got like 5 edits. What makes you an expert on what's "relevant"? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:46, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

I read the MOS on DABs....Dilbert is not relevant to TTP as currently written. Are you new here?

You're funny. Do you even know what Dilbert is? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:52, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Per the instructions, I have commented on the talking page for the article, as I said above the link needs to be relevant according to the style page. Dilbert does not meet the requirements as currently written. The instructions are pretty simple on what you should add to the page. Thank you. If you are new here, there is a help desk that I found. Maybe they can explain it to you.

I've been here for 9 years. You've been here 7 days. Under your current username, anyway. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:57, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Yea right. You've been here 9 years and you don't know what you should link in a Disambiguation page? I don't think anyone is that slow. Gabs Blue Labs (talk) 11:25, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Citing sources

Hello, this is linked above in your Welcome message but could you try to use fuller cites when sourcing? This helps prevent future link rot and also tidies up the reference sections, even if you simply use <ref>[<URL> <article title>]</ref>. Thank you. — Wyliepedia 04:10, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

So...I am missing the title of the article? From the syntax/example it looks like that is what you are referring to. Gabs Blue Labs (talk) 04:18, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. Just add brackets and put the article title one space after URL. Some editors prefer to see a {{Cite web}} (article author name, dates and media name), but this is the quick and dirty acceptable ref. Thanks. — Wyliepedia 04:24, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
