to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.
I'm sorry, I will provide a more reliable source after this sir. Eustatius Strijder (talk) 07:59, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lmharding
Hi Eustatius Strijder, thanks for appreciating my recent edits. I noted that a user by the name of Lmharding reverted my edits without reason. I've reverted it back, and looking at their talk page, this is an habitual behavior of this user who has done this on various other articles, and has been warned multiple times by different users. It seems like a case of
Fake news I have talked to you multiple times on the talk page, you;re the one who keeps reverting instead of continuing to discuss your edits. You're WP:NOTTHERE nice attempt at a projection. Keep lying. User:Lmharding (talk) 00:29, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No need to fight in my talk page Guys, calm down. It’s better to restore the edits to the previous one bcs the law against homosexuality were not enforced at all even before the Supreme Court decision in 2022. Eustatius Strijder (talk) 11:07, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am talking about the LGBT rights in Singapore issue on this matters, the dispute claims weren’t clearly sourced. Eustatius Strijder (talk) 11:09, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, but who reverts Jacob Kennedy's Revert time's Jllproductions, Russian vodka's Moneyspender's 4chankek's Ususer445's personal attacks. Like calls Pauline Muley 'keep lying" . He knows he is being against all Wikipedia rules, but thinks they do not apply to him. A disease dishonesty 103.12.202.139 (talk) 12:43, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks
for your editing on Indonesian subjects - one small problem is that edit summaries are not a suitable location for arguing for an edit change - it is much more recoverable and understandable on the talk page - if there is likely to be any issue arise - talk pages are the place for explanation - and even more so are
WP:RS to clarify or establish a claim... cheers JarrahTree 06:22, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply

Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:57, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is standard practice to only include official support from a government. Until there is an official statement from a government agency explicitly stating their support for a cause, it is not the country, it is the individual/organization. Political parties do not in fact count, especially if they are in the opposition. Juxlos (talk) 05:42, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In the same way, support from former leaders does not count. And in any case your reference to the Ghana "support" is an article about amphibians. Davidelit (Talk) 09:25, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I’m not here to support West Papuan independence. That was for another reason, also the reference said that Ghana had opposed the Act of Free Choice in the UNGA since 1969. It was not meant to be the statement of 2 Former Prime minister’s alone. Eustatius Strijder (talk) 09:31, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody here is supporting anything except the facts. You cannot claim a country supports anything based on the opinions of former leaders. Also your citation for the Ghana claim is an article about amphibians - the clue is in the title: Amphibians with TailsDavidelit (Talk) 10:03, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Citation about Ghana was the former one that is in Wikipedia’s sources, it was not by my edit reference. Ghana opposed The Act of Free choice by its statement in the United Nations General Assembly in 1969 in favor of West Papuan independence as for “Support” refs said. The support doesn’t only come from the former Prime Minister but Ghana in the United Nations as a whole leading the African backed countries. Eustatius Strijder (talk) 10:27, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ghana did not even vote against it at the UNGA. If you classify that as "support", or any of the pacific nation signing a declaration and that’s it, then every -other- country would qualify as supporting Indonesia. Based on your previous edits, you have clearly demonstrated a lack of understanding of
WP:V
, in addition to lacking basic reading comprehension of sources (like, really, reading a couple Green MPs showing up to an event as “New Zealand supports West Papuan independence?).
You are putting an absurdly low threshold for “Support” there, as none of the Pacific Islands have given any actual support to West Papuan independence - certainly none comparable to Libya (funding/training) or Netherlands (training/organization/funding). Unless you can provide sources that state, say, Vanuatu has been funding the OPM, do not include them. Juxlos (talk) 16:20, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
