Your Anthony Alan Foods article will likely be deleted as corporate PR
[edit]Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did on Anthony Alan Foods. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. You are, however, encouraged to add appropriate content to the encyclopedia. If you feel the material in question should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --A. B. (talk) 17:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Adding references can be easy
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5d/Wikipedia-_Using_Cite_option_from_toolbar.jpg/450px-Wikipedia-_Using_Cite_option_from_toolbar.jpg)
Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.
Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:
- While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
- Then click on "Templates".
- Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
- Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
- Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
- Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.
- Before clicking on Publish changes, check that a References header ==References== is near the end of the article.
- And check that {{Reflist}} is directly underneath that header.
- 7. Click on Publish changes. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.
You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.
Hope this helps, --NeilN talk to me 13:16, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
