Welcome to Wikipedia, Bigbrenriley! I am Ged UK and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Ged UK (talk) 14:22, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Citation
editFor easy citation try using this:
- <ref> {{cite web |title= |publisher= |url= |accessdate=2008-07-08}} </ref>
or this for references with authors
- <ref> {{cite web |last= |first= |title= |publisher= |date= |url= |accessdate=2008-07-08}} </ref>
Just copy/paste it into the article from here. If you don't close the reference with a </ref> then it causes the whole page below it disappears into the footnotes. (Be sure to update the accessdate as you go!)
For citing a reference in the same article more than once replace the first <ref> with <ref name=NameHere> then afterwards you can just put <ref name=NameHere/> and it will automatically do it. Oh, and you can't use spaces in the ref name you give. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 15:05, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Note that Gerardo Bruna is up for deletion. I think we've salvaged it though. Hope to see him in a few FA cup games next season, the first team thing surprised even me! Sillyfolkboy (talk) 16:09, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Going, going, gone. Ah well. I'll ask angelo to undelete it after he gets his first game; don't just copy and paste because that destroys the article history. If we're right about the Bruna then it's only a matter of time until he has his own article. Sillyfolkboy (talk) 11:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
