Your submission at Articles for creation

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Science Policy Support Group. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's a video tutorial - hit play, then right-click for "full screen".

Here's an example of how to add references:

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>

== References ==

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers^[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help ^connect.

Maybe talk

Hi. Just got your message (and haven't even read it properly) but wanted to say: it might be easier to explain if you click here and talk to me. It's a simple 'text-chat' thing. (If you don't, I will answer it soon, regardless) Chzz ► 11:13, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

--- later... ---

Hi again. As I didn't see you in the chat thing, I'll explain briefly here;

You do, indeed, need one {{references}} thingy, on any article page. Most existing pages already have one, and when you created the page the pre-filled text should have had one - it probably just got removed in the tidying-up.

I've now fixed it, by adding a == References == section with {{references}}. I also added "http://" to the URL, because that's required.

You can see my edit here.

Please add more references - for all the information; and note that you'll need independent reliable sources, to show notability.
