The link I sent you is the policies of Wikipedia so you understand what is and what is not appropriate to do here. It contains a lot of content divided up into various other pages, so it will take some reading. What you are looking for however is editing help. I could simply tell you how to do it, but that would only assist you with this one task. Rather, I suggest you find it here: Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia and along the way you will probably learn some other things as well. The reflist is an automated feature which collects all references in the article and places them in an organized, numbered list that corresponds to the reference numbers in the article. Clicking on the article reference numbers then takes you to the appropriate place on the list. For an example of why this might be necessary, take a look at the reference list on this article.

Rather than replacing Knowyourmeme, you should add your citation next to it. You will see many places on wikipedia where multiple sources are cited for a single statement, to provide additional proof. However, I cannot guarantee that other users will not remove your citation if they believe it is not appropriate. Again, please take the time to read Help:Contents/Policies and guidelines to understand how and why you should edit things.P924 CarreraGTS (talk) 18:44, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, Knowyourmeme is NOT paying wikipedia to be here, and neither are you. Its role in the reference list is proving the claim that the phrase is used frequently on the internet (hence making it a meme). Wikipedia is not an ad board. You cannot purchase ad space here. You will notice a distinct lack of ads on the side of the page as you find on Google, Facebook, and nearly every other site on the Internet. If you are interested in receiving more hits on your website, you should consider putting an ad on another page, or posting about it in forums and blogs. Wikipedia is not a free-for-all where anyone can put their promotional material and personal discussions. Without meaning to sound rude, it is clear to me that you are unfamiliar with this site, as you have been failing to sign your comments, asking if websites are "paying to be promoted" and asking if I am an "employee." Please read Help:Contents/Policies and guidelines before posting any more content. Thanks, and I hope you will learn the purpose of this site and be able to contribute positively.

I don't believe you understand how a citation list works. Citations are used to provide backup or "proof" for claims made in the article. Knowyourmeme, while not the best site to use as a citation as it is essentially also a wiki, does catalog popular memes on the Internet, making it the most logical choice for a citation of the claim "This song has sparked the saying, "like a boss," in many different places, particularly on the internet." Your site, as a single website, does NOT provide citation that "like a boss" is used in MANY different places on the internet, as it is only one place. Furthermore, "Knowyourmeme" is not being "promoted" by having their site in the reflist. You are trying to promote your own website on Wikipedia, and this is simply not how it works. Sadly, I will NOT agree that your site is better for a citation because it really is not. P924 CarreraGTS (talk) 18:20, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The "knowyourmeme" site on the Like a Boss page is a citation, not an external link. You are attempting to promote your own website via an external link, which is prohibited. Citations are used to provide reference in the article, not to promote other sites. In fact, citations are an extremely important part of Wikipedia as they ensure that factual information, not hearsay or original research, is being posted. I will not remove a citation from the article unless it is invalid, and in this case it is not. P924 CarreraGTS (talk) 18:13, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
