Hi,

I had submitted an article on Navarasa Dance Theater that was not accepted because it was not verifiable. Would links like the following be used as references? Please let me know. I am a newbie. http://www.pressherald.com/life/bates-dance-festival-offers-provocative-diverse-works_2011-08-13.html http://www.bates.edu/news/2011/08/05/bdf11-different-voices/ http://www.charpo-montreal.com/2011/05/upstage-interview-aparna-sindhoor.html

Hi,
I have one more reference for Navarasa Dance Theater from Boston Globe http://articles.boston.com/2010-09-27/ae/29319556_1_aerial-dance-traditional-indian-dance-modern-dance The other links are in my previous talk. My question was if these links can be used as verifiable references. Thanks and Regards. Kumarknowledge (talk) 05:35, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hiyas there Kumarknowledge,
To be honest, i am not entirely certain about the sources. The sources should be reliable (Its a newspaper), but some sources seems to be covering a festival, with just a short mention of the Navarasa Dance Theater in the article body. Equally the sources are somewhat local as they cover a performance in a specific city. Personally i wouldn't fail the article over reliable sources in this case, but i am still somewhat concerned about the subjects notability. In this case i would probably ask another reviewer for a second opinion, since it seems to be a bit of an edgy case. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 17:57, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Excirial,
Two of the sources are Portalnd Press Herald and Boston Globe, both the biggest newspapers in Maine and Massachusetts.
And the festival that Portland press is the Bates Dance Festival, which again is a major dance festival. In Boston Globe they are the subject. Also the subject has been pretty much reviewed in all major newspapers in India in the past. The big problem is the web article to be found on the net. Some of it is there on their website in the reviews section where they have scanned and put the actual newspaper. Also, a bigger question, how does one cite offline resources in wikipedia? I am planning to write an article on a particular style of dance from India and it does not have very many online articles. Sorry if I i have made mistakes with the colon etc. in answering the answer. I am still new at all this.
Thanks and Regards. Kumarknowledge (talk) 13:50, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hiyas there Kumarknowledge,
Citing offline sources is done with the help of some templates that allow you to supply the information, while the template takes care of the layout and the presentation of the reference. There are different templates for different types of sources - for example, the template for books is different then the website version, since you will want to supply different types of information for each of them.
Now, before even trying to decipher how to add such a template, I'd mention that it is thankfully possible to do so trough the edit interface. Placing one manually is also possible, but it is more complex and less intuitive to do so. Now, based on the skin you use (Interface setting - you can see yours Here), the buttons and menu's for doing so might be located in a slightly different place. As a elated sidenote: If someone ever points you to a button or tab which just doesn't seem to be there, ask what skin they use. A lot of longer term editors like myself still use the old Mono skin which used to be Wikipedia's default for years, while new accounts use the new Vector skin by default.
Assuming you are on the vector skin: go into edit mode for a page. On the editing menu bar you will see the word "Cite" on the far right of the bar. Click that, an a menu under it will expand. In the submenu you will see a dropdown stating "Templates". Here you can select the template type you wish to use. This is mostly self-explanatory; Cite Web for websites, Cite book for Books, Cite News for news article's and so on. Clicking on any of those create a pop up fill-me-in screen where you can add the details for the reference. Its not mandatory to fill all fields, just fill as many as possible. Once you press insert, it will insert the reference in the article, at the cursors current location. And presto - you added an offline reference.
