Cuban Migration To Miami

Hi and welcome to Wikipedia! I see you have run into some formatting problems with this page. Would you like some assistance, or are you okay on your own? (As a pointer, you shouldn't ever sign article pages with ~~~~, this is for talk pages only.) Best regards, — BillC ^talk 01:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you've been adding your signature to some of your article contributions. This is a simple mistake to make and is easy to correct. For future reference, the need to associate edits with users is taken care of by an article's edit history. Therefore, you should use your signature only when contributing to talk pages, the Village Pump, or other such discussion pages. For a better understanding of what distinguishes articles from these type of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thanks for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you. — BillC ^talk 02:53, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Editing help

Sure, no problem at all: I have done it in the article. I have to dash out now, so I can't stop right now to explain how it works, but will find time to do so later this evening. Best regards, — BillC ^talk 18:52, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

And now I can. I see you've got the <ref>... </ref> tags working. To make use of repeat references:

1. Make the first reference tag <ref name=some_text>, where some_text is an arbitrary and unique identifier.
2. Add the citation text, and close with a </ref> tag as before.
3. On all subsequent reuses of the reference, add the text <ref name=some_text/> (note the slash character at the end), without the citation text, or the closing </ref> tag.

This will do it. Other things to look out for are:

• Wikipedia thrives on internal links, which are added by placing double square brackets round relevant terms like this: [[Cuba]], which comes out like: Cuba.
• If you want to link to an article with not quite the same title, you 'pipe' the link with an vertical bar, like this: [[Fidel Castro|Castro]], which comes out like: Castro.
• Equally, it benefits any article to be linked to; you might want to consider what articles could reasonably link to this one, and edit them, if possible, to link back to Cuban Migration To Miami, either within the body of text, or in a 'See also' section at the end. Clearly, judgement should be exercised in placing such links only where relevant. Articles which have no incoming links are termed orphaned in Wikipedia parlance.
• Also, all articles should be in at least one category; I have placed a couple of category tags at the end of the article. These may not be ideal, and with some searching, you may be able to come up with something more suitable.

If you ever get stuck, just place the text {{helpme}} on your talk or user page, and before long someone will contact you. I hope this helps, and welcome to Wikipedia! — BillC ^talk 21:04, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Referencing more works by the same author

I think your current problems stem from point #1 above. The some_text in <ref name=some_text> must be unique for a given citation. Hence, if you wish to reference a second work from the same author, then if one is <ref name=author>, the reference to another work must be different: <ref name=author2>.

The red text Cite error 8; No text given you're seeing at present is because you're making use of the <ref name=some_text/> tag without having done the <ref name=author> first. In other words, you're implementing point #3 above, without first implementing all of point #1.

I hope this helps. I would tackle it myself, but at this point, I'm not sure what work you want to reference to which author, so I'll have to leave it to you. Regards, — BillC ^talk 11:38, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

El Nuevo Herald

I have reverted your edit in El Nuevo Herald as it is customary to cite the name of the first listed author when there is more than one author. -- Donald Albury 15:52, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
