Question from Principe Mejia II (20:55, 25 July 2024)

Question from Principe Mejia II (00:11, 26 July 2024)

Si la percupacion es mi User name puede ser de otra manera, pero mi pocion es que es lamentable que un gobierno en todo lo que su ciudad #2 #3 no puedan estar. Osea los paises por porvincia y caba una gorbernntes diferentes.

If the concern is my User name it may be otherwise, but my point is that it is regrettable that a government in everything that its city #2 #3 cannot be. That is to say, the countries by province and caba a different governing body.

Se a percupação for o meu nome de utilizador poderia ser de outra forma, mas a minha opinião é que é uma pena que um governo em tudo o que a sua cidade #2 #3 não possa ser. Quer dizer, os países por província e havia governantes diferentes --Principe Mejia II (talk) 00:11, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

@Principe Mejia II Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Are you talking about a specific page? Please link it so I understand what you are talking about. If you need to make a change to a page, Be Bold!

Mistake of a Flag on your userpage

Hello! I just noticed that you've forgot to change from the California flag to the Virginia Flag where you wrote "Current location, Virginia, USA". You might want to fix it... Replicative Cloverleaf (talk) 11:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for pointing that out :) Guess I forgot to change that after getting back home in Virginia after being in California for a while for a research program 😆 ~delta ^{(talk • cont)} 17:37, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sadsolarpanel (04:57, 25 August 2024)

How do I cite something? I’ve read the tutorial and it didn’t make much sense to me. Many thanks. --Sadsolarpanel (talk) 04:57, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey Sadsolarpanel, I'm happy to help as it seems ~delta is taking a break at the moment. Citations are generally placed within <ref>...</ref> tags in the source code of an article, which causes a footnote to appear in the references list at the bottom. Write the reference information within the tags; you can write it in plain text but it is recommended to use a citation template such as {{cite book}}, which will automatically format the reference for you, among other benefits. As an example, to cite this book you would insert the following markup into the source: <ref>{{cite book |last=Napier |first=Susan J. |year=2018 |title=Miyazakiworld: A Life in Art |isbn=978-0-3002-2685-0}}</ref>. This generates this citation:

Consider reading Help:Referencing for beginners for further information, which is a simplified version of the main Wikipedia:Citing sources guideline. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:32, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
