Citing sources

Nice work on Mole Valley Farmers. You might want to take a look at the various citation templates such as {{Citation}}, {{Cite web}}, {{Cite book}}, {{Cite news}}, etc. These make references much easier to read and manage in an article. Take a look at any big article on WIkipedia and you will see them used frequently. Shout if you need help. --Simple Bob (talk) 10:33, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Also, checkout {{Infobox company}} which is commonly placed at the top of company articles. --Simple Bob (talk) 10:35, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
