  Hello, I'm Steve Lux, Jr.. An edit that you recently made to Library seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Steve Lux, Jr. (talk) 15:02, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

As you may have noticed, the references that you added were not entered properly. Additionally, the references you added are not needed, as the information is redundant because it is explained with citations in those particular articles. If you are unsure if the information you want to include into an article is appropriate, use the talk page of the article. If you are unsure of how to properly make those edits, use your sandbox to test those edits. I also urge you to review how to cite your sources — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve Lux, Jr. (talkcontribs) 02:31, 24 November 2015‎ (UTC)Reply

Steve, I really need help here. I read "how to cite" and I'm still confused. Can you please just tell me if I need to put in the URLs for my three libraries or not, and if I do, where do I put them? I was under the impression you use the <ref ref> next to the item. Do they belong in the footnotes and if so if I add them will the list automatically change the numbers of the footnotes? I really would appreciate it if you would tell me what to do. I'm new to this and the help pages aren't basic enough for me to understand what's needed when there's a notation "Citation needed" According to the How to Cite it just says to use the <ref ref> but obviously you're saying that's not right. What do I need to do? Lakelandcrib 11/23/15 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lakelandcrib (talkcontribs) 04:17, 24 November 2015‎ (UTC)Reply

I note that this has been answered at the Help desk. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:16, 24 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Signing comments

edit

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:16, 24 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

It looks like you have been inserting the four tildes at the end of comments, but I think you need to do so after inserting a space, which is why it hasn't been working. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:19, 24 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
