If it is on a webpage, then add that as above, otherwise just leave it out. There isn't any "set" method for citing (some like MLA, Chicago, etc.). For making a section,

==Section name here==

Use two equals signs, name, and two more. For subsections, use three equals signs on each side, use four for sub-sub-sections, etc.  fetchcomms☛ 20:15, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Er, don't worry about this message... actual editing is more important than your userpage.  fetchcomms☛ 23:25, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have cleaned it up some, but if you could find some more sources so as to establish his notability, per

I'm not sure where the photos are... but if you could just do the same inline citing as before, that would be all. Thanks!  fetchcomms☛ 22:21, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have now got my new article up for approval. It's Mungo Mackay. And the jpeg of the Sauce Boats is now part of the article. So it's no longer an orphan. Remove your deletion warning please. Thanks for the reminder. Block1945 (talk) 18:59, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I just stopped by to congratulate you on the very nice article you've written about Mungo Mackay. Of course there's always something a reviewer can find to complain about. So I have a couple of minor things I noticed: first one is that when citing a book it's best to put in page numbers that you're referring to (or even a chapter if that's easier) to help anyone looking for the material and background; the second one is that Wikipedia, being an encyclopedia, aims for, let's be honest, a rather dull style. It's generally thought best to avoid "we" and "us" and even "one". You'll have noticed that the sauce boat picture was deleted. When it comes to pictures, things tend to be very automated and ruthless. And we tend to be really quite restrictive about what kind of copyrighted pictures can be used. Basically, if you could go somewhere and take a picture yourself (or ask someone to do it for you), then we say that that is what we should do and that a copyrighted picture isn't really acceptable in that case. So, no more sauceboats I'm afraid. If you know where the originals are, it could be that we can find a brave volunteer to go and photograph them. Let me know if you do. And if you have any questions about images, you can either try Wikipedia:Media copyright questions or you can ask me if you like (but I'm more likely to be wrong). Again, thanks for contributing this fine article. Very best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:56, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
