{{helpme}} Hello, I really need help, I am completely inexperienced. I took out text "work" , but I am unable to complete references and to put everything in order.Best regards Jeanberousse

No problem - can you come and talk to us live, with this?
If not, then have a look at user:chzz/help/ref, which might make it easier.
I will work to fix up the article. Hope to speak soon.  Chzz  ►  14:26, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Guide to referencing

[edit]

Click on "show" on the right of the orange bar to open contents.

I have reverted the edit you made to User:Chzz/help/ref. A userpage, like this one, should only be edited by the user who created it. Comments should be on a talk page. Chzz's talk page is at User talk:Chzz. That is the best place to thank him, and Chzz is more likely to see it there too. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 14:56, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ksenia Milicevic

[edit]

I have now extensively tidied up the article Ksenia Milicevic. I've reformatted it, and removed the 'essay-like' parts. It still lacks footnotes; it has references, but currently it is not possible to see where the various information comes from.

If possible, please work on that. I will paste my help-file below, so that you will have links to try things out.

Best of luck,  Chzz  ►  15:12, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Re. Thank you Chizz, this is terrific for beginners! Best regards, Jeanbarousse (here), you're welcome - but, as said above, in future please put comments on my talk page instead! Cheers,  Chzz  ►  15:13, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How references work

[edit]

Simple references

[edit]

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:Jeanbarousse/reftest and try it out.

Named references

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

[edit]

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.
