Help me!

Hello,

Please help me with...I am having problems adding external links to my article.

Hi Obxpirates. I've just made this edit to your draft, which I hope helps solve the problem you're having. First off, you can link any Wikipedia article by adding double square brackets, like this: [[Field of Corn]], which creates a direct link to the article: Field of Corn. You should include external links (i.e. links that go to a website other than Wikipedia) in their own section at the bottom of the page, exactly as you have done. You also seem to have gotten the hang of references (nice one, most people struggle with that), but you need the {{Reflist}} template at the bottom to get them to display properly. You should remove the link to the Cleveland Public Library website, as it doesn't provide any info on the sculpture there (if so, it should be a reference) and we don't include external links in the actual body of the article.
Nice draft you've got going there; I look forward to seeing it hit mainspace very soon. Feel free to message me on my talkpage if you have any questions. Oh,and for formatting stuff, you may find this page helpful. All the best, Yunshui  15:23, 15 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
