Welcome to Wikipedia, J.gadbois! Thank you for your contributions. This is an encyclopedia, so remember that it's a necessity to include references listing reliable websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you have used to write or expand articles. Please understand that these sources should verify the information in a fair and accurate manner. However, you must not copy and paste text you find anywhere, except for short quotations, marked as such with quote marks and carefully cited to the source the quote was taken from. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted by others if unreferenced or referenced poorly or if they are copyright violations. See referencing for beginners for more details.

I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page.

Hi J.gadbois and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for uploading recent images of Old Spanish Fort and adding a needed reference. Although photographs are important for reader interest, it is also important not to create excessive clutter. Per MOS:IMAGEQUALITY, poor quality photos should not be used unless absolutely necessary and are best left in Wikimedia Commons, which is referred to in the 'External links' section of the article.

Citations

[edit]

You can reuse inline citations; see wp:NAMEDREF. An example follows[1] To cite a book, I recommend using the wp:template template:cite book. Documentation can be found at that link. It has a field "|page=",[1] I don't believe there is a paragraph field which is hinted at in the documentation. I tried "|para=" and got an error.[1]. Note: inline citations follow punctuation! I see you removed the citation needed tag.
An essay on citation templates: wp:Citation templates are evil. If you want to see more errors add this: Help:CS1 errors# Controlling error message display - caution, experts only! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 21:00, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
