Where's the citation gadget gone?

[edit]

Hi Excirial. I am supporting a new member who is an academic well able to contribute a lot to Wiki, but is looking to orient himself with house-style, gadgets etc. I want to recommend the citation gadget to him - the one which appears on your toolbar in edit mode, with links to various forms for citations for web, news etc. I vaguely remember getting mine from My Preferences a couple of years ago. I looked for it in My Prefs but can't find it. Where has it gone? Or has everyone got it automatically now? --Storye book (talk) 07:27, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hiyas there Storye - long time no see!
The citation gadget is a standard button in the new user interface (Vector). Since you mention he is a new member i am quite certain he uses that interface, since few users switch around from the default (Unless one is attached to the old monobook interface, such as me). In the new vector interface there is a Cite button on the absolute right side of the edit bar. Once it is clicked it will expand and allow one to select Cite web, Cite news, Cite book and Cite journal. Once it is selected it comes up with a new window where this information can be filled in.
One extra handy tool which you may like (And this is the tool i use myself), is [1]. This tool allows you to automatically convert barebone references to cite templates (+ it fills them in as far as possible). It will even name duplicate references so that they will be grouped automatically - really convenient if you ask me. An example of a reflinks edit is [2], in case you are wondering.
I hope that helps, and good luck with your mentee! If you need any help, just ask. :) Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 17:49, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hastings, John Howell etc.

[edit]

Hi – thanks for your note from last week here (sorry for the late reply!). Although I don't have it to hand, I suspect the book by David Thornton to which I made reference in some of the church articles (Hastings: a Living History, 1987) may be useful for some of the historical bits – I'm sure he wrote about the development of all the "services" stuff such as the sewers. The Memorial Chapel seems to have been a General Baptist chapel built in the 1860s/1870s and closed soon after (but after 1884); I can see it on a couple of the old maps on http://www.old-maps.co.uk/. The street layout has now changed completely and I know the building isn't there now. I remember reading a passing reference to it in one of my sources when I was doing the research for List of places of worship in Hastings a year ago, but haven't been able to trace an architect or builder yet.

I haven't found a lot in any other Hastings-related books I have to hand. Hastings library is mediocre, but there is a large local studies section in Eastbourne library, which is nearer me; I will need to go there at some point in the future to do some research for Eastbourne churches. I'll keep an eye out for anything Hastings-related when I go there. It's quite an interesting topic; good luck with your continued work on it!
