Jacks Run Brewing

There are links to other businesses in Purcellville because they are the subject of Wikipedia articles. There is no link to Jacks Run Brewing so a citation is needed to verify that this is a business in Purcellville and not a fake addition. A citation to the Jacks Run Brewing web site should suffice in this case. You can add that by inserting the following after Jacks Run Brewing. <ref>[https://www.jacksrunbrewing.com/ Jacks Run Brewing web site]. Retrieved January 23, 2017.</ref> Don't add the no wiki tags. I have used them here to prevent the appearance of a footnote with the information on this page.

Do not add brackets because it will produce a red link since there are no articles. Although red links were more common in the past and may still be placed in some instances, they are mainly intended to signal that there is no article and perhaps someone should add one. As Wikipedia has expanded, this is no longer very useful and red links often just sit in one or a few of the articles in which they are placed.

The links I left in the previous message concerning reliable sources and footnotes should provide some general guidance, although I know that there are quite a few alternatives and quite a bit of information in them. I hope you understand that I do not want to add this myself because I hope that by doing it yourself, you will learn how to do it and it will be easier for you to add citations in the future.

Let me add that in the unlikely event someone contests that reference, please find a newspaper story or some other verifiable third-party reference and use that instead. Donner60 (talk) 22:53, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
