- Yeah, citation needed. Your article need sources. --Tyw7 (☎ Contact me! • Contributions) Changing the world one edit at a time! 19:10, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

- Hi there!
- The article should not yet be made live, because it needs references to reliable sources, to show the notability. Please read user:chzz/vrs.
- You need to present facts supported by e.g. newspapers, books, etc.
How references work |
---|
Simple referencesThese require two parts;
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
== References == {{reflist}} (an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections) To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:TheLittleBlackBear/reftest and try it out. Named referencesChzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook"> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/> Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result. Citation templatesYou can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look; Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation | last = Smith | first = John | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century | publication-date = 2001 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] | page = 125 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4 }} </ref> Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result. For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs. |
- It also needs to be more neutral; you should avoid things like e.g. "most famous as", "a prominent Historian" because these are opinions, not facts.
- For more help, you can either;
- Leave a message on my own talk page;
OR
- Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end;
OR
- Talk to us live, with this or this.
- The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello. Chzz ► 19:15, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks guys! :) I'm getting better at this already. I have some sources listed at the bottom, still have to do some rewriting. What's the command for importing pictures and how do i embed them in the article??
- YOu might want to tidy up the source using the proper templates. Plus, it would be helpful to put the source next to the claims using the <ref> tags. See WP:IMAGE. Also, regarding the image, if you create the image it would be nice for you to upload it to Wikimedia Commons. It is also important to properly describe the image. --Tyw7 (☎ Contact me! • Contributions) Changing the world one edit at a time! 20:00, 2 May 2010 (UTC)]

I want to delete two articles I created because the names are wrong. Can you help me? how do I get this done
- If you're the only one who's contributed to them, put
{{db-g7}}
on the pages. Alternatively, you can put in a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to have the articles moved to the appropriate names. —Jeremy (v^_^v Dittobori) 04:21, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

- im not an admin so i can not see why it was deleted, most likely because of copyright problems. If you were the uploader, someone should of told you why it was deleted. Sophie 01:06, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
