How references work

Simple references

These require two parts;

a)

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>
He likes tea. <ref>  </ref>

b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";

== 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:DinosaursLoveExistence/reftest and try it out.

Named references

Chzz was born in 1837. <ref name=MyBook>
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. 
</ref> 
Chzz lives 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 templates

You 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 = ]
 | 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.

Ways to improve Bill Price (physicist)

Hi, I'm Modern.Jewelry.Historian. DinosaursLoveExistence, thanks for creating Bill Price (physicist)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. FRS members get a pass to Misplaced Pages according to WP:PROF, but this still needs references to support claims about the importance of his work.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Thank for writing this article on A W Wolstenholme. I think this is a good start. However, some fine tuning is still required. At the moment it reads "he..., he..., he..." I predict and hope that you can also find more than one referecne.

Proposed deletion of Extra Strong Mints

The article Extra Strong Mints has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

Women in Red World Contest

Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Proposed deletion of Attack on HMS Invincible

The article Attack on HMS Invincible has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not sufficiently notable to have its own page. This article also contains information different to that in the one cited source. (In the one citation some claimed that "HMS Avenger shot it down" but the article states that, "The Royal Navy witnessed the Exocet missile running out of fuel and falling into the sea." I don't think it is worth merging this article with the HMS Invincible (R05) article in view of this inexplicable contradiction. Either the web page cited in this article is reliable or it is not. In any event the paragraph in the HMS Invincible (R05) page is more comprehensive and has better citations. It would make no sense to wiki-link this orphan article from the HMS Invincible (R05) article given the coverage of this incident there.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

A tag has been placed on Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Proposed deletion of Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators

The article Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A7 declined because it publishes a journal and has existed since 1988. Neither publishing a journal nor merely existing are credible claims to significance. I did not locate any significant sourcing about this organization on a search, only publications by them or citing them.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
