{{helpme}} Is there a way to make references and footnotes appear on a discussion page of an article? JenCom (talk) 15:42, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- Sure. The same way you would in an article: put the website/book/whatever you want to cite between <ref> and </ref> and add <references/> at the end of the section or the bottom of your message. Like this:[1] HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:48, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Strange- I thought I followed the same codes as I did in my article, but I can't seem to get it to work on the discussion page. Is it possible for someone to verify my codes on the Chemical process of decomposition discussion page please? JenCom (talk) 15:53, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
- Hey - I've figured out the issue. When you use named refs, you have to enclose the name in quotes (<ref name="Human nutrition"> vs. <ref name=Human nutrition>). That should fix it. However, you really don't need to use refs on talkpages...

Hi. Thank you for your contribution of this article to Wikipedia. Can you perhaps think of an alternative title so that it does not clash with Decomposition, which should not be linked as the title word? If you need any help don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page.--Kudpung (talk) 07:41, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
