Adding references can be easy

Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Adding a well formatted references is very easy to do.

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.
Then click on "Templates"
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 website link (web URL) becomes inactive (dead/link rot) after some time.

You can read more about it on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.

References

Hello Trisha, real life interfered while we were chatting about your draft; I'm sorry for that. Your draft's references (as of this version) are, in order:

1. http://www.highschoolfootballamerica.com, supposed to support the claim that Fisher hosts High School Football America/SoCal. It's a primary source, Fisher's own organization, and I don't see where it actually says so.

2. http://www.ocvarsity.com/articles/football-33757-team-league.html doesn't mention Fisher at all.

3. http://www.WFMZ.com looks malformed to me; the sentence that uses it as a reference seems to lack a few words. It doesn't mention Fisher anyway, and even if it dit it would still be a primary source: Fisher's former employer speaking about its employee.

4. Lehigh Men's Basketball record book, used for the Sixth Man Award. Doesn't devote as much as a single sentence to Fisher, and it looks like a primary source anyway: The organization giving the award reporting on its own award.

5. Feinstein's book. A reliable, independent source, but how much does it have to say about Fisher? Right now we cite it only for the claim that it mentions Fisher, which isn't all that helpful. Surely being mentioned in that book is not what's important about Fisher, is it?

6. and 7. A CNBC website and a CNBC video, used only for Fisher's appearance on CNBC. These have the same issues as the Feinstein book, except here it's pretty obvious that the sources don't cover Fisher in detail.

These are all the sources whose footnotes support the article proper. Then there's a list of footnotes for footnotes' sake:

8. Fisher's column at highschoolfootballamerica.com, a primary source just like no. 1.

9. and 10. Fisher's page at artistsfirst.com (and a broken link that looks as if it's related). "Brought to you by:" Jeff Fisher: A primary source.

11. The LA Times' newsblog. Devotes all of two lines to Fisher, but it's actually one of the better references because it's independent and provides some facts about him.

12. "Jeff Fisher debuts high school football show on Los Angeles airwaves", The Express-Times article about Fisher. Our best source by far: Independent, reliable, more detailed than any other (with the possible exception of Feinstein which I can't read right now). This source alone would allow us to write a short biography of Fisher. It details his education, his work for WFMZ-69 and KLAC AM 570 Fox Sports LA, "his High School Football America – SoCal" and so on. But right now we don't really make use of the source.

I'm not sure that last source is enough to establish Fisher's notability; that requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", where "significant coverage" is usually interpreted as "multiple sources of at least a paragraph each". But currently it's our best shot. Thus I'd suggest making the most use of it: Adding those details to the article proper and citing the newspaper article for the additions. Conversely, we should probably entirely remove all the primary sources and all the sources that don't mention Fisher, and we should try and cite Feinstein and CNBC for what they actually say about Fisher, not merely for the fact that they feature him. I hope this helps. Huon (talk) 19:21, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
