Line 88: ==Wikipedia category links== Per [[Wikipedia:Tutorial/Wikipedia links]], at the bottom of every article is a list of category links which shows what categories the article is in. So at the bottom of an article on [[Bird]] you will find the following categories listed: Birds - Animals - Biological pest control - Dinosaurs . Open the article[[Bird]] and you will see near the bottom how a list of categories is added. If you create a new article, find the categories similar articles are in. Otherwise, this is something you will become more knowledgeable about and interested in adding. ==External links== [[Wikipedia:Tutorial/Citing sources]] shows how to make external links which are both for citing sources and any "External links" section of an article. Copy this section to your sandbox and make some like the simple examples you'll see in the editing screen. (The asteriks are for making bullet marks on lists.) ----- [http://www.birds.cornell.edu/ Cornell Lab of Ornithology] [http://www.birdpop.org/ The Institute for Bird Populations, California] [http://www.karalahana.com/fotograflar/thumbnails.php?album=93 Early 20th century USA High Quality photographs] http://www.bsc-eoc.org/avibase/avibase.jsp?lang=EN&pg=home The World Bird Database http://www.birdlife.org/ Birdlife International Bird biogeography http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/birdbiogeography1.htm * Birds and Science http://www.audubon.org/bird/index.html *http://www.birds.cornell.edu/ Cornell Lab of Ornithology ==Citing sources== [[Wikipedia:Tutorial/Citing sources]] has information about this and links to a lot of information that may seem overwhelming. ''But all you have to know how to do for now is make a simple link like the below.'' Over time you'll see how editors do it for different sources, when they do it correctly (which unfortunately some do not). Do it for all the references below, putting the various words and phrases in the appropriate order. Make sure you copy this whole section separately to a sandbox and include the "references" section at the bottom. Don't forget your Wikilinks to famous people, books, periodicals, etc. But do NOT try to put them ''inside'' your external links. ----- You should now be in an editing screen in a sandbox looking at this model: <ref>Name of author(s), [http://www.nytimes.com/article_name.html "Title of article"], ''The New York Times'', (Volume, Number etc. if appropriate), date, (add page number if appropriate)</ref>
