- 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}}
Minor edit
Hi Sidpatil3! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Chandra Shekhar Azad that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

- Thank you for the tips on Minor edit. Would love to know why the real information I modified was reverted?
- First as a Indian Historian I am aware it is rightful to publish correct information about great freedom fighter.
- Please note,
- 1) Allahbad city is officially known as "Prayagraj", so to avoid confusion it must reflect the same.
- 2) "Rang De Basanti" movie information is repeated twice in same section. You reverted back for redundancy.
- 3) Most importantly "Chandrashekhar Sitaram Tiwari" is the person's name. Later in his life some people called him for political bias as Azad. I think Wikipedia being non-bias platform (I assume) it must put with respect to this freedom fighter's real name "Chandrashekhar" where applicable.

- Chandrashekhar Sitaram Tiwari - if you think that the article has the wrong name, you should use the process at WP:COMMONNAME, since this policy is very important. Inside an article, it is generally best to use the common name for the person throughout (there are exceptions to this). Consistency is also useful. We do not want readers of the article to imagine that Chandrashekhar, Tiwari, and Azad were three different people whose lives were somehow mixed up.-- Toddy1 (talk) 10:20, 17 June 2022 (UTC)]

Incorrectly using minor edits check box
Hi Sidpatil3! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Imran Khan (film actor) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Your edits to Imran Khan (film actor) added the name of his father; that is not a minor edit. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. -- Toddy1 (talk) 08:40, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
Need for citations
Hello, I'm Toddy1. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Imran Khan (film actor), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Toddy1 (talk) 08:42, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
