Two tips on adding references

@Briannlongzhao: - Welcome to Wikipedia! It's great that you are taking a course about Wikipedia. Thanks for making all the improvements to the Non-fungible token article. Two quick notes to help you with more edits that you do:

• In the article, you had a couple of places where you referenced the same article "What's the Deal with NFT Standards?", but you included each as a separate reference. The result was that there were four separate mentions of that same article down in the References section. To clean this up, what I did was change the first reference to start with having a 'name' attribute, as in

<ref name="whats-the-deal"> (and then the rest of the reference)

Then in the other three places where you referenced that same article, I replaced ALL of the reference text with simply this (note the trailing slash before the final angle bracket):

<ref name="whats-the-deal"/>

Now, if you look down the page, you will see that all of those references have the same number ("32" at this moment), and if you look down in the Reference you will see that after the 32 there is now a "a b c d" linking back up to where it was referenced in the article.

Want to try this yourself? I see there are multiple references to "What is Flow? The Blockchain Built for NFTs" (currently 37 and 38) that could be consolidated into one reference. (I do all my editing in Wikicode, so I'm not sure how to do this in the Visual Editor.. but what you are looking to do for the second one is insert a "named reference".)

• Most of your sources were good reliable sources, but the source you used for Mythical Games is just a press release about dGoods. A press release is a "primary source" from the company and so what you really want to do is find a "secondary source" in the form of an article on some other site that is about the dGoods standard.

Thanks again for editing the article and it's great that you are learning about how to improve Wikipedia. I hope these tips were helpful. - Dyork (talk) 01:18, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
