Re. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jan David Winitz

I have tried to format the article for you, using inline references. Please check that I got things in the right place; also, it is best avoiding using "Op. Cit" and "ibid", because it can create confusion about which one it refers to; instead, it's possible to use 'named references'; please see the help below.

It would also be helpful if you added links to other wikipedia articles, do not use the full address; instead, just put double square brackets around the word to link. For example, putting I like in [[England]] produces: I like in England.

You can also link when the text differs from the article title, like this: I am a [[Dentistry|dentist]]. produces: I am a dentist.

Please try to reformat the article in this way. If you have problems, you can get help, here.

See also: WP:CHEATSHEET.

Note, I have not actually 'reviewed' the article yet; possibly someone else will do so soon; I just wanted to help with the formatting. Best,  Chzz  ►  01:24, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

How references work

Simple references

These require two parts;

a)

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>

b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";

== References ==
{{reflist}}

(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)

To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:Thomasdakota/reftest and try it out.

Named references

Chzz was born in 1837. <ref name=MyBook>
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. 
</ref> 

Chzz lives in Footown.<ref name=MyBook/>

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates

You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation
 | last = Smith
 | first = John
 | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century
 | publication-date = 2001
 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]]
 | page = 125
 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4
}}
</ref>

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.
