How does X work?

{{helpme}} I'm writing a progressive death metal article in this user page that I will publish later, how can I attract the attention of other users who may be interested in contributing. And how can I cite sources and leave a visible [1], [2]. I managed to do that but it said it was wrong and I have to do it another way which shows the url and some of the code. --Chairmaneoin (talk) 01:31, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can ask for comments from other users by posting a request at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback.

The reason you are seeing a cite error on User:Chairmaneoin is because you need to add {{reflist}} near the end of the page in order to show the references that are in the content. Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners has more information on how to insert references in articles.

Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao ^talk 02:03, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How does X work?

{{helpme}} Do I need to cite sources for information that can be found in other wikipedia articles. I've said that opeth use acoustic guitars and mellotrons, this is in their wikipedia page, will I need to cite a seperate source, the wikipedia page or nothing?--Chairmaneoin (talk) 01:31, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can't cite Wikipedia to itself so finding a separate source is best. Finding sources that directly address the subject of the article are best. -- Banjeboi 23:32, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
