Welcome

Hello, Wes97 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Adam9007 (talk) 01:46, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Fingerprint

Does your class at Sydney require you to use only sources in English for your article? I would expect an academic environment to appreciate your being able to use sources in another language.

The reason I ask is just to emphasize that Wikipedia has no limitation on the language of sources, except that English sources are preferred when equal or better. In this case, it is likely that there are a large number of in-depth articles in Dagens Industri, Affärsvärlden, Veckans Affärer or the business pages of SvD that could add to your article, if you have access to them from where you are. There are also no less than two books written about Fingerprint Cards in the last couple of years: [1] and [2]. --Hegvald (talk) 05:07, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Hegvald, I am allowed to use non-english sources, but if the source is available in english that would be preferred by the university. I'm currently working on the referencing and grammar as well as finishing some of the sections. I have a subscription on SvD, where I have found some good information that I will use. I will probably also use both Affärvärlden and Veckans Affärer. However, I do not have a subscription on Dagens Industri. Thank you for the recommendation on the two books!

If you are using the same source twice or more, you can avoid repeating it by giving it a name, like <ref name="Olausson 2019">{{cite web |author=Olausson, Sven |title= ......etc ...}} .... and then reusing it like <ref name="Olausson 2019"/>. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:34, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
