User talk:Thinker8
I am Thinker8, a new Wiki user. Although I have good computer skills, I am finding that article creation and formatting are difficult.
I am a horse racing fan and was surprised to see that there is no bio or reference article for Jeannine Edwards, the horseracing reporter on ESPN who does the Triple Crown coverage. I've researched her and have the material, references/citations, etc. but I am frustrated with the programming for the references.
Perhaps someone can guide me. I've been trying this for days now and am just about to throw in the towel! I can't make heads or tails on how to insert a reference and list. I've read the help pages. Thanks in advance. (Thinker8 (talk) 20:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC))
I would like an editor to take a look at the page I propose. (Thinker8 (talk) 22:25, 13 April 2012 (UTC))
