- I'll say right from the start that WP:REFB is a much more comprehensive page on how to edit references. Now, on to your question.
- References are placed on the page between ref tags;
<ref>This is a reference</ref>
. Editing a reference is as easy as finding that reference on the page (it will be in the body of the text) and changing what's inside the ref tags. REFB has more information about easily adding references and some of the more complex syntax of referencing. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 19:16, 31 October 2015 (UTC)- (e/c) Since I was composing an answer that is now partially redundant by the edit conflict, I am providing one aspect of what I think may be the problem, by posting a canned answer through a template below that may help clear up an issue of understanding you're having:
- When you are reading an article and see a references section near the bottom populated by a series of numbered citations, you might think that if you edit the page, you will see those citations typed in that section and be able to edit them. However, normally what you will see is markup similar to this:
==References==
{{reflist}} or<references />
The text of citations is actually in the body of the article, directly next to statements or paragraphs the citations support, using
<ref>...</ref>
tags, which display as Footnotes (e.g.[1][2]) when you are reading an article. The template code shown above in the references section collates and displays all of the citations within the article in a numbered list in which the numbers correspond to the footnote numbers in the text. By clicking on the ^ symbol next to a citation display, you can easily find exactly where in the body of the article the citation text appears in order to edit it.

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Diatribe Records has been reverted.
Your edit here to Diatribe Records was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://cmcireland.wordpress.com/2012/11/01/tronic-one-launch/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:13, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Calia8888. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Nick Roth (composer), for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Nick Roth (composer) to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.
If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.
Thanks,
