The Horrid World of Finding Citations

[edit]

Ah yes, what every Wikipedian has to do eventually, find a slimy citation. When writing an article or editing one you have to have GOOD citations, when you first think that you can find a GOOD citation, you go on a giddy little Google search thinking that you will find something useful, this is most likely...….. not true. Soon you will start crying because you can't find anything useful. This is okay you should just give up, Wikipedia hates you. Now, lets say that you don't heed my advice and still decide to find a citation, if you are a meek hearted individual you will soon go crazy and die. Though you may be strong enough to keep searching for the perfect citation, for hours, for days, for months you will be searching. You will soon grow old searching for a stupid little citation for a article with 7 page views. But then, at the end of Google, at the end of Bing, you will find it, the citation, the blissful citation that gets rid of that pesky little "citation needed" sign.[citation needed] It does feel good, finding the citation, you will soon feel like a god. But then in the shadows, you see it.... another citation needed.[citation needed]
