User talk:Venusa7

Hi

Hi Venusa7, with regards to your Thank You Australia article-somebody has rejected it as not having any reliable third party sources to establish notability. I have attached some links below for you to read through so you can get an idea how this works & then you can get it in. Give me a shout if you have any other questions.

Welcome

I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

Just some of the amazing imagery here.

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Venusa7/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below, feel free to read it in your own time. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

IRC

Hi Venusa7. Just leaving a msg. on chzz's behalf, re your chat on IRC earlier.

Unfortunately, when you were on IRC, chzz was already dealing with another user, so couldn't spend as much time as he'd have like with your query re the TYA Inc. article.

Please feel free to rejoin IRC whenever suits, and ask chzz or anybody there.

Or indeed leave talk on mine or chzz's talk pages. We'll definitely help you. Cheers, Trafford09 (talk) 09:54, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How references work

Simple references

These require two parts;

a)

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>

b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";

== References ==
{{reflist}}

(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)

To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:Venusa7/reftest and try it out.

Named references

Chzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook">
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. 
</ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/>

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates

You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation
 | last = Smith
 | first = John
 | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century
 | publication-date = 2001
 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]]
 | page = 125
 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4
}}
</ref>

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

Thank you Australia

Sorry about the delay in replying-I've had a look at your article. There are a few problems though-firstly it lacks notability. If you read that information, you will understand what i mean. The references are all from the official website which is not enough. It also reads as quite promotional-read this. If you have any other questions, ask away!
