I thought you might find it useful to have some information about references (refs) on wikipedia. These are important to validate ↗ your writing and inform the reader. Any editor can remove unreferenced material; and unsubstantiated articles may end up getting deleted, so when you add something to an article, it's highly advisable to also include a reference ↗ to say where it came from. Referencing may look daunting, but it's easy enough to do. Here's a guide to getting started. If you need any assistance, let me know. -- '''''<span style="color:#880088;">Ty</span>''''' 04:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

;<big>Good references</big>

A reference must be accurate, i.e. it must prove the statement in the text. To validate "Mike Brown climbed Everest", it's no good linking to a page about Everest, if Mike Brown isn't mentioned, nor to one on Mike Brown, if it doesn't say that he climbed Everest. You have to link to a source that proves his achievement is true. You must use reliable sources ↗, such as published books, mainstream press, and authorised web sites. Blogs, Myspace, Youtube, fan sites and extreme minority texts are not usually acceptable, nor is original research ↗ (e.g. your own unpublished, or self-published, essay or research), or another wikipedia article.

;<big>Inserting a reference</big>

The first thing you have to do is to create a "Notes and references" section (unless it already exists). This goes towards the bottom of the page, below the "See also" section and above the "External links" section. Enter this code:

:<nowiki>==Notes and references==</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki>

The next step is to put a reference in the text. Here is the code to do that. It goes at the end of the relevant term, phrase, sentence, or paragraph to which the note refers, and ''after'' punctuation such as a full stop, without a space (to prevent separation through line wrap):

:<nowiki><ref> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </ref></nowiki>

Whatever text you put in between these two tags will become visible in the "Notes and references" section as your reference.

;<big>Test it out</big>

Open the edit box for this page, copy the following text (inserting your own text where indicated), paste it at the bottom of the page and save the page:

:<nowiki>==Reference test==</nowiki>

:This is the text which you are going to verify with a reference.<nowiki><ref></nowiki>''Reference details go here''<nowiki></ref></nowiki>

:<nowiki>==Notes and references==</nowiki>

:<nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki>

(End of text to copy and paste.)

It should appear like this:

:;Reference test

:This is the text which you are going to verify with a reference.<ref>''Reference details go here''</ref>

:;Notes and references

:{{reflist}}

;<big>Information to include</big>

You need to include the information to enable the reader to find your source. For an online newspaper source, it might look like this:

:<nowiki><ref>Plunkett, John. "Sorrell accuses Murdoch of panic buying" ↗, ''The Guardian ↗'', 2005-10-27 ↗. Retrieved on 2005-10-27 ↗.</ref></nowiki>

When uploaded, it appears as:
:Plunkett, John. "Sorrell accuses Murdoch of panic buying" ↗, ''The Guardian ↗'', 2005-10-27 ↗. Retrieved on 2005-10-27 ↗.

Note the single square brackets around the URL and the article title. The format is:
:<nowiki>"Title of article" ↗</nowiki>
Make sure there is a space between the URL and the Title. This code results in the URL being hidden and the title showing as a link. Use double apostrophes for the article title (it is quoted text), and two single quote marks either side of the name of the paper (to generate italics). Double square brackets round the name of the paper create an internal link (a wikilink) to the relevant wikipedia article. Apostrophes must go outside the brackets.

The date after ''The Guardian'' is the date of the newspaper, and the date after "Retrieved on" is the date you accessed the site &ndash; useful for searching the web archive ↗ in case the link goes dead. Dates are wikilinked so that they work with user preference settings ↗ to display the date in the format the user wishes.

;<big>References not online</big>

You can use sources which are not online, but which you have found in a library or elsewhere&mdash;in which case leave out the information which is not relevant. The newspaper example above would be formatted like this:
:<nowiki><ref>Plunkett, John. "Sorrell accuses Murdoch of panic buying", ''The Guardian ↗'', 2005-10-27 ↗.</ref></nowiki>

When uploaded, it appears as:
:Plunkett, John. "Sorrell accuses Murdoch of panic buying", ''The Guardian ↗'', 2005-10-27 ↗.

Here is an example for a book:

:<nowiki><ref>Charmley, John (2006). ''The Princess and the Politicians'', p.60. Penguin Books Ltd., London. ISBN 0140289712.</ref></nowiki>

When uploaded, it appears as:
::Charmley, John (2006). ''The Princess and the Politicians''. Penguin Books Ltd., London. {{ISBN|0140289712}}.

Make sure you put two single quote marks round the title (to generate italics), rather than one double quote mark.

;<big>Date format</big>

These formats are all acceptable for dates:
:<nowiki>2005-01-27 ↗</nowiki>
:<nowiki>27 January ↗ 2007 ↗</nowiki>
:<nowiki>January 27 ↗, 2007 ↗</nowiki>

;<big>Citation templates</big>

You may prefer to use a citation template to compile details of the source. The template goes between the ref tags and you fill out the fields you wish to. Basic templates can be found here: Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Citation quick reference ↗

;<big>Same ref used twice or more</big>

The first time a reference appears in the article, you can give it a simple name in the <nowiki><ref></nowiki> code:

:<nowiki><ref name=smith>Details of ref here</ref></nowiki>

The second time you use the same reference in the article, you need only to create a short cut instead of typing it all out again:

:<nowiki><ref name=smith/></nowiki>

You can then use the short cut as many times as you want. Don't forget the /, or it will blank the rest of the article! Some symbols don't work in the ref name, but you'll find out if you use them.

You can see multiple use of the same refs in action in the article William Bowyer (artist). ↗ There are 3 sources and they are each referenced 3 times. Each statement in the article has a footnote to show what its source is.

;<big>Alternative system</big>
The above method is simple and combines references and notes into one section. A refinement is to put the full details of the references in their own section headed "References", while the notes which apply to them appear in a separate section headed "Notes". The notes can be inserted in the main article text in an abbreviated form as seen in Harriet Arbuthnot ↗ or in a full form as in Brown Dog affair. ↗

Hello Wiki:
I thought you wanted to have more references added. These items are all well known, at least in USA. Sony's boar you have seen every news years, psi chi is highly known in academia, east villiage art movement was the 70's high art movement ((Keith Heering)), etc, La Salle Christian Brothers, not only made wine but are an established brotherhood since 17th century,the Pett. museum has been since 1900 in RI, build originally as the town jail, and the legio of merit is a USA army medal of honor??

Hello Wiki: here is the link inside wiki which writes about the legion of merit, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_of_Merit. Do you mean that when I included the word 'award' it didn't link properly to your article? I thought when I got the scene asking me to type it, it was part of the indentification process. Please explain further. Thank you.

Speedy deletion of :'Legion of Merit award' ↗


48px|left ↗ A tag has been placed on :'Legion of Merit award' ↗, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox ↗ for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion ↗''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''the talk page ↗''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins ↗ to request that a copy be emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-nonsense-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:small; color:red;">'''Red'''</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:small; color:black;">'''Thunder'''</span> 16:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC)



Hello Wiki: I have made the corrections, removed the references or corrected the exact phrasing to connect. Sorry for the confusion. I have realized the mistake I made in the internal link process. Search the word/phrase, then link. Again, thank you for your patience.

:Category:Actors living in New York City ↗


left ↗I notice that this category ↗ is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to (are members of) it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1 ↗. I'm notifying you, the creator of the category, in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding <nowiki>Category:</nowiki>Actors living in New York City<nowiki> ↗</nowiki> to articles/categories that belong in it.

I have also blanked the category page. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of blanking and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to revert ↗ the blanking if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with {{tl|db-author}}.

MOS:REFERENCES ↗ and MOS:TEXT ↗



Curious why you removed references section and your use of formatting in this edit here ↗. Note that we have a Wikipedia:Manual of Style ↗ that explains sections, referencing, and text formatting, if your unsure. Bobby Cohn&nbsp;🍁 (talk) 18:14, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

:I removed all items in yours and Dans two comments. Add five articles/books. Thanks, I am correcting based on your recommendations. Formatting the references I look on other articles and they are not consistent, will check out the manual, FilmPens FilmPens (talk) 00:44, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
::I was discussing in particular in regard to the lines:
:::<code><nowiki>==References==</nowiki></code>
:::<code><nowiki>{{reflist}}</nowiki></code>
::These are section headings ↗ and the coding to collect the references at the bottom. That is what was linked to for you above in my first comment.
::I have added them back in. Please do not remove them again. Bobby Cohn&nbsp;🍁 (talk) 13:31, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
