Not a problem. I will leave you some illustrated instructions on referencing and an invitation to a Q&A forum especially for new editors. Gtwfan52 (talk) 08:57, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Adding references can be easy

Just follow the steps 1, 2 and 3 as shown and fill in the details

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:

1. 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.
2. Then click on "Templates".
3. 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.
4. Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
5. Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
6. 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, --Gtwfan52 (talk) 08:57, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Danjel. Your recent edit to the page The Ensworth School appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 09:24, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:

I don't understand why I was blocked. I joined yesterday and hardly made any edits. I don't know what I did to deserve this block, especially because I don't know what infringement of the Wikipedia user guidelines I violated. If you could review this block by DoRD, then I would be very grateful. I'm extremely confused as to why I've been blocked and would like to be unblocked or given an explanation of this block. Thanks, Ricky.

Decline reason:

You have been blocked by a checkuser. Now I know that you know wahat that means, but for the benefit of any non-admin reading this it means that you have been found to be abusing multiple accounts. An ordinary admin will not unblock you. Either apply through your primary account or e-mail the blocking admin. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 20:03, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
