User talk:Somename somewhere

In response to your feedback

Glad your happy. If you need help editing, check out the tutorial.

In-line references support the text of an article and give source information proving the article is not 'Original Research' (see WP:OR).

Thanks Ariconte. I'm not certain I understand why you're pointing to this Original Research policy.

Cheers and have a good Easter, --Somename somewhere (talk) 23:24, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because the article your working on 'User:Somename somewhere/sandbox' does not yet have in-line cites..... it was a hint that they would be useful. Possibly I should have only mentioned (and pointed to) Wikipedia:Inline citation. Regards, Ariconte (talk) 00:12, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. The biographical part of it is actually based on interviewing this person (nothing has been published on his biography to this extend as far as I am aware). There will be lots of sources once I get to the meat of this article. --Somename somewhere (talk) 00:16, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"interviewing this person" is definitely WP:OR. Regards, Ariconte (talk) 03:02, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for converting those references in the article. Could you also kindly advise me on how to cite properly book sources? --Somename somewhere (talk) 23:01, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Citation templates and particularly Template:Cite book or use the editing tool:

There is a "Cite" toolbar at the top of the edit window which allows you to automatically generate the required wiki code.

You click one of the templates, e.g. "book", and fill in the details.

More information can be found in Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or the citations tutorial (the below video will play best in Firefox or Chrome):
