Welcome

Hi, Jainav. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Jainav/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Help needed for creating a new page

(This is a copy of your message on my talk page, and my reply. My own talk page is archived regularly, so I've put this copy here so that it might remain useful to you, with the links, etc. Chzz ► 22:35, 7 June 2009 (UTC))[reply]

I want to create a new page for a famous surgeon in India. His speciality is that he does the surgery of large intestine by a procedure call total procto-colectomy for the people suffering for ulcerative colitis and familial adenametous polypsis. the speciality of this procedure that he removes the entire large intestine and replaces that with some artificial stuff called staples. this uniqueness of this procedure is that unlike other doctors who remove the intestine and attach a bag for the excretion on the abdomin for the life, he doesn't puts a bag. he is the only surgeon in India who does this type of surgery. i want to create a page for him to spread the awareness so that others can benefit from this.

Firstly, as a new user, I recommend creating a test page (as explained in the welcome note), and trying some things there. There are also tutorials and help-files linked in the welcome.

Secondly, I suggest editing some existing articles before creating a new one - to get used to Wikipedia style.

When you do want to create this new page, there are some questions;

Do you have a 'conflict of interest' here? If so, please read WP:COI and WP:BESTCOI

Is this person sufficiently notable to have a Wikipedia article? See the criteria WP:ACADEMIC and WP:GNG.

Are there enough reliable, secondary sources of information to make the article? All the facts must be verifiable - there must be reliable sources available, such as newspaper articles or books. Note that primary sources will not be enough.

If the proposed article meets all of the above criteria, then I suggest trying to write it in your own area first, and asking someone to take a look at it before making it live. Good luck with it, and please ask for help whenever you need.

This talk-page is archived regularly, so I will put a copy of this message on your own talk page. Cheers, Chzz ► 22:35, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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:Jainav/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.
