Help request
[edit]{{helpme}} I have contributed a new article, my first, and find everything very confusing. I am awaiting a review but I am unsure as to whether I have done everything correctly so that I am entitled to a review.

- I guess you mean, User:Fredmw/Frederic Joseph Walker Memorial Fountain, Hyde Park, Sydney ,Australia?
- "written by F J Walker's grandson" does not count as a "reliable source" - the facts need references to books, newspapers, or other publications; see WP:VRS. I'll add help on how to format references, below.
- Also, it'd be good to add some "wiki links". For example, if I put...
Chzz is from [[London]]. She is a [[Dentistry|dentist]].
- ...that appears as;
Chzz is from London. She is a dentist.
- I just added a couple to your article; I changed the first line to;
The '''Frederic Joseph Walker Memorial Fountain''' is in [[Hyde Park, Sydney|Hyde Park]], [[Sydney]], Australia.
- See also WP:CHEATSHEET.
- The most important thing, though, is the references.
- Once you think it is ready, you can submit it for a review, just by putting exactly this on the top linel
{{subst:AFC submission/submit}}
- If you have problems, just use another {{helpme}}. Cheers! Chzz ► 09:38, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
How references work
[edit]Simple references
[edit]These require two parts;
- a)
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>
- 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:Fredmw/reftest and try it out.
Named references
[edit]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
[edit]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 = [[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 needs some tidying-up before it could be made live. You need to add 'inline references' - to say where the information comes from.
