Citations

[edit]

I'm still pretty new at this, I need to learn how to do citations and references and I fully intend to return and do these, but if anyone else wants to fine - please just don't delete what I've written out of hand, the citations are good and here's a link to my source, I just need to learn how to do this correctly in Wikipedia's format. All the reviews I cited are from IMDb's page at: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1517238/criticreviews

The first quote, in the Plot summary section, is from Stephen Holden's New York times review here: http://movies.nytimes.com/2011/05/27/movies/puzzle-with-maria-onetto-review.html?ref=movies

I have not visited the other reviews yet directly for orginal source citations. Beadmatrix (talk) 12:17, 13 January 2012 (UTC)Beadmatrix[reply]

Hi and thanks for the additions. You can use the format given in the opening line to reference the festival screening as a template for including the inline citations. Lugnuts (talk) 12:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Lugnuts! I'd get cross-eyed trying to do these manually now, and everytime I clicked on the {{}} it put my citation at the top of the page, but that's okay. Maybe it's just my hinky laptop. Meantime I'm feeling guilty because I'm not sure if the reference name vs the publisher is correct - I used the website for publisher and the website's parent company for the reference? but I only went to the AV Club's FAQ page, to get their location and saw the copyright by the Onion, Inc. I should really look at other movie review quotes more closely, that's my next task, but I need a break. And should I put the : before this paragraph?

No problem - and again, thanks for expanding the article. If you have any generic questions, please feel free to ask at the talk page of the Film Project. The : acts as an indent. Usually the first reply has one of them, the next two and so on, but it's not essential. Lugnuts (talk) 17:41, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
