How references work |
---|
Simple referenceseditThese require two parts;
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
== References == {{reflist}} (an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections) To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:Vs26/reftest and try it out. Named referenceseditChzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook"> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/> Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result. Citation templateseditYou can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look; Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation | last = Smith | first = John | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century | publication-date = 2001 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] | page = 125 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4 }} </ref> Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result. For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs. |
Edits to your test page
editHiya.
I made a few edits to your test page - adding one citation example, and some minor tweaks; as I think I said, normally nobody would edit things in your userspace. However, I thought you wouldn't mind me doing so... you can see the edits I made by looking in the page history; by clicking on (prev) in the list there, it'll show you the changes between one version and the previous one.
Hello!
editHello! This is just to show how your talk page works, since you asked in IRC! That, and I felt like beating Chzz to the punch for once! Welcome to Wikipedia! --ANowlin: talk 04:44, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

editI've replied to your message; see User talk:Chzz#Thank You. Chzz ► 04:46, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Note, I have now archived the replies, into User talk:Chzz/Archive 25#Thank You (from Vs26).
Please don't edit that page though - it is just for old messages; to contact me again, start a new section on my user talk page. Cheers, Chzz ► 23:49, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
