Help me!

edit

Please help me with adding citations to the infobox on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alyangula,_Northern_Territory I attended a training session on how to create and edit Wikipedia articles and we only had 20 minutes to create a stub article. The trainer didn't know how to add the citations to the population, etc so I'm really hoping someone can help me tidy up my very hastily created article. :)

I notice you use VisualEditor. This link will show you how to use VisualEditor to create a link, but to quote the page:
Position your cursor after the sentence or paragraph that the citation is intended to support. Click the "Reference" icon in the VisualEditor toolbar. A dialog will appear, with a text box in which you can either insert a plain citation or a citation template. If you want to insert a template, click the puzzle piece icon to bring up the templates dialog. Type "Cite" into the template text box, and a number of suggestions will be provided. Choose the appropriate template, and add as many parameters as you can easily fill.
