# Check that the Visual Editor is turned on by ensuring "Temporarily disable the visual editor..." is unchecked in your preferences on your main language Wikipedia ([[en:Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|here on the English Wikipedia]]). Visual Editor allows you to use a feature called "Citoid" which uses an [[en:w:Application_programming_interface|API]] to get preformatted reference information (see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide#Editing_references the documentation] for more details).</translate>

#Whenever you check whether a citation is Open Access in Wikipedia, make sure to include the hashtag #OAWiki in the [[edit summary]].</translate>

Tips</translate>==
<translate><!--T:32-->
*Wikipedia articles don't use any one standard reference style, though they favor the templates created by the tools described above, you can always write a plain-text citation.</translate>
<translate><!--T:33-->
*Reliable sources for Wikipedia include any source with a history of editorial control (newspapers, books, finding aids, scholarly journal articles, editorially controlled websites). The stronger the reputation or the greater the authority of the author on a topic, the more well received it will be.</translate>
<translate><!--T:34-->
*Though Wikipedia favors sources that are [[w:en:Open Access|Open Access]],<ref> See http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.07608 for more information about the impact of Open Access on Wikipedia</ref> it doesn't require them (after all, some knowledge can only be found in print books or behind paywalls). However, a reference to an open access source means that more public readers get a chance to find and read the research they need through Wikipedia.</translate>
