Your recent edit to Sabrina Erdely

This edit added a bare URL instead of a complete citation. I know you're a long-time contributor to Wikipedia, so you know how helpful it is when citations are complete. Complete citations help guard against the dreaded link rot (yeah I know, the *horror*), and also make it easier for readers to verify information. Following this post I've added a referencing help - hope that's alright. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 18:19, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Novous (talk) 18:50, 6 April 2015 (UTC) Thanks, I'm actually only slightly familiar with the more exhaustive system, but I'll read up on it.[reply]

Adding references can be easy

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:

While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
Then click on "Templates".
Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.

Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header ==References== is near the end of the article.
And check that {{Reflist}} is directly underneath that header.

7. Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --Shearonink (talk) 18:19, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
