Line 102: ==Citing sources== [[Wikipedia:Tutorial/Citing sources]] has a lot of information about formatting references to create footnotes and you'll see people do it in a variety of ways, including using "templates." ''But all you have to know for now is how to make a simple link like the below.'' [[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. : <nowiki><ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/article_name.html</nowiki> Article in ''The New York Times''<nowiki>]</ref></nowiki> Make such simple links for all the references below, putting the various words and phrases in the appropriate order. Don't forget your Wikilinks to famous people, books, periodicals, etc. But do NOT try to put them ''inside'' your external links. Format the references also. In general book, movie and album titles are italicized and articles have quotation marks around their titles; so make those formatting changes too. Some editors italicize publication names, others do not. Adding ISBN to book numbers is helpful but not required. Make sure you copy this whole section separately to a sandbox and include the "references" section at the bottom so you can see how your footnotes look after you save your page. ----- 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"], (News paper or ''The New York Times'', (Volume, Number etc. if appropriate), date (usually is available), (add page number if appropriate), ISBN: #</ref> http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1278863/Richard-Kay-17-May-2010.html "Watch out, boys. . .
