User talk:Nick Moyes/Easier Referencing for Beginners

Thank you Nick, this is really helpful page. I am also looking for an easy to use guide to fixing errors (red) in citations. I like WP:CS and use WP:DATE is there anything else you would suggest?--

I would like to second this opinion. Really awesome. I think this should be on the front page of Wikipedia to be read by anyone that wants to start editing. Wes sideman (talk) 11:57, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick Moyes: Hi. A totally minor thing, I fixed a couple of unbalanced apostrophes and changed a couple more instances of ''''blah'''', which renders as 'blah', to just blah, because it renders them inconsistently, with the trailing apo bolded, but the leading one, not. I then saw there are a few more of those "4-quote" instances in other sections. Is there a reason why some menu choices or button names should be quoted and others, not? I also note there's an inconsistency in the type of quote used – some things use a (perhaps more American-style) double-quote, while others use a single-quote (apostrophe). Shall I make them consistent and, if so, which? Or maybe just remove the already-bolded-item quoting consistently? Cheers! —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 02:18, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:REFBEGIN has been cleaned up, it's less important than it was. Cheers, Nick Moyes (talk) 15:57, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply
