Little tip
[edit]If you are referencing scientific papers in your edits, you might find {{cite doi}} useful. If you add <ref>{{cite doi|the doi of the paper}}</ref> a computer comes along and converts it to something like this automatically:[1]
- ^ o’Donnell, S. (2011). "In memoriam Carl W. Rettenmeyer (1931–2009)". Insectes Sociaux. 58 (3): 279–280. doi:10.1007/s00040-011-0178-6.
Please let me know if you're unsure about anything. SmartSE (talk) 16:37, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
