- Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
- Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
- In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like
<ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>
, copy the whole thing). - In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
- If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References== {{Reflist}}

Hello, I'm Edwardx. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Edwardx (talk) 21:37, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- If you don't mention the article name, how would I know and fix it?? L5boat (talk) 10:53, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. Go to Special:Contributions/L5boat and search for "reverted", and you will find Romesh Wadhwani. Not hard, after all you are not a prolific editor. Edwardx (talk) 11:07, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Full date of birth MUST be cited with a reliable source, see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons and Wikipedia:Reliable sources. You cannot use the Forbes citation for this, when it is not in the source. Have had to revert. Edwardx (talk) 13:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
