Help request

{{helpme}} I have contributed a new article, my first, and find everything very confusing. I am awaiting a review but I am unsure as to whether I have done everything correctly so that I am entitled to a review.

Fredmw (talk) 08:31, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I guess you mean, User:Fredmw/Frederic Joseph Walker Memorial Fountain, Hyde Park, Sydney ,Australia?

"written by F J Walker's grandson" does not count as a "reliable source" - the facts need references to books, newspapers, or other publications; see WP:VRS. I'll add help on how to format references, below.

Also, it'd be good to add some "wiki links". For example, if I put...

Chzz is from [[London]]. She is a [[Dentistry|dentist]].

...that appears as;

Chzz is from London. She is a dentist.

I just added a couple to your article; I changed the first line to;

The '''Frederic Joseph Walker Memorial Fountain''' is in [[Hyde Park, Sydney|Hyde Park]], [[Sydney]], Australia.

See also WP:CHEATSHEET.

The most important thing, though, is the references.

Once you think it is ready, you can submit it for a review, just by putting exactly this on the top linel

{{subst:AFC submission/submit}}

If you have problems, just use another {{helpme}}. Cheers!  Chzz  ►  09:38, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

How references work

Simple references

These require two parts;

a)

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>

b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";

== 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:Fredmw/reftest and try it out.

Named references

Chzz was born in 1837. <ref name=MyBook>
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. 
</ref> 

Chzz lives 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 templates

You 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.

It needs some tidying-up before it could be made live. You need to add 'inline references' - to say where the information comes from.
