Your submission at Articles for creation

edit
 

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Foraminoplasty. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's a video tutorial - hit play, then right-click for "full screen".

Here's an example of how to add references:

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>

== References ==

{{reflist}}

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help connect.

Noleover Hi Many thanks for your guidance and support. The text on our Charity Web site (The Spinal Foundation) is written by me and indeed I am re=writing the text in our Wikipedia Page so that it is not plagiary. I am the pioneer of this technique. I see some pages on Wikipedia identified with the author. I would be pleased to make this the format for my page. I am concerned that others less informed and experienced might try to change the page and invalidate the information which I am writing up for the page. So I would value your advice on that point. I have to confess that as a beginner I am struggling for as you see I am trying to produce a reliable reference page for you. I would be grateful if you could also advise me how to show a reference to certain specific words in my text. For instance the term "Foraminotomy". I would like to highlight this term for which there is a good Wikipedia page. Finally when I was amending things last night I am not sure if all my amendments were accepted because the page refreshed and seem hardly change. I also found it difficult to alter the top paragraph. It did not seem to have an edit button I note your comments about the save button but I really searched for it but could find it. Sorry to be making such heavy weather of this but now I have started I would like to see it through Missurgeon (talk) 20:18, 21 February 2012 (UTC) So now as the article has been removed how do I go about restarting it. It seems that starting it in sandbox is no use as this is wiped every 12 hours. I would like to work with and develop the pages and then submit for improvement by you each time I save the page Hoping this is feaible MK Missurgeon (talk) 20:24, 21 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
