History of the Cossacks

Hi, and welcome to the wikipedia. When you add information to an article, you need to create a citation to a reliable source in that article. I understand you want to add material about the gothic origin of cossacks, and have a book "THE COSSACKS. By Philip Longworth. New York, Chicago, San Francisco: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1970". Is that correct?

I have made a copy of what a reference would look like here:

some of the Cossacks from crimea have ostrogothic roots^[1]

If you edit this talk page you can see the format for creating a reference. You need to cite the precise page number when referring to a page. If what you are citing spans multiple pages, lets discuss.

I've opened a new section to the talk page of History of Cossacks so we could discuss it there. Please give a short quote of what the book says in that page, so we can all understand it is being used in the right way.
