FAQ

Referencing 1 In order to establish notability for the purposes of Wikipedia, articles need to include references that demonstrate sustained non-trivial coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. For guidance on referencing for Wikipedia, see Help:Referencing for beginners. If you need additional help, feel free to ask here or at my talk page. Referencing 2 There are multiple ways to include references in an article, but probably the easiest and most common is to use: <ref>REFERENCE HERE</ref>. So for example when you type this: Johnny told the devil "you son of a gun, I'm the best there's ever been."<ref>The Devil went down to Georgia. (1979) Charlie Daniels. ''Epic Records''.</ref> What you get is this: Johnny told the devil "you son of a gun, I'm the best there's ever been." References Also, you may want to look over guidance at Help:Referencing for beginners. Ref name Johnny told the devil "you son of a gun, I'm the best there's ever been."<ref>The Devil went down to Georgia. (1979) Charlie Daniels. ''Epic Records''.</ref> They engaged in a fiddle playing contest which Johnny Won.<ref>The Devil went down to Georgia. (1979) Charlie Daniels. ''Epic Records''.</ref> The story was later told in a popular song by Charlie Daniels.<ref>The Devil went down to Georgia. (1979) Charlie Daniels. ''Epic Records''.</ref> Which gives you this: Johnny told the devil "you son of a gun, I'm the best there's ever been." They engaged in a fiddle playing contest which Johnny Won. The story was later told in a popular song by Charlie Daniels. References But instead of repeating the reference, you name it like this, and just repeat the name with a "/": Johnny told the devil "you son of a gun, I'm the best there's ever been."<ref name="Daniels">The Devil went down to Georgia. (1979) Charlie Daniels. ''Epic Records''.</ref> They engaged in a fiddle playing contest which Johnny Won.<ref name="Daniels"/> The story was later told in a popular song by Charlie Daniels.<ref name="Daniels"/> Which gives you this: Johnny told the devil "you son of a gun, I'm the best there's ever been." They engaged in a fiddle playing contest which Johnny Won. The story was later told in a popular song by Charlie Daniels. References

Funny...ish

This message contains important information about a fairly exceptionally complex and esoteric set of special rules on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date, which we feel the need to point out explicitly, because everything else about this template screams exactly that. Please carefully read this information: The Arbitration Committee has authorized discretionary sanctions related to a fairly arbitrary set of topics. The Committee's decision is probably not remotely intelligible to new users, of the type who would need a notification such as this, so we've opted to omit the link altogether moving forward. Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to corral disruption on controversial topics to its very own special venue, with special rules regarding how we enforce our special rules, which must be followed in exquisite lawyerly detail, despite any rumor to the contrary. This means uninvolved administrators can unilaterally impose comparatively arbitrary sanctions for conduct that would often not be sanctionable in an open community discussion. These should normally be immediately appealed at the Administrators' Noticeboard, in a discussion that will waste a maximum amount of community time, and almost certainly result in no consensus. This message is a compulsory notification as part of the above mentioned special rules that must be unflinchingly adhered to. Please do not bother to familiarize yourself with the discretionary sanctions system, because if we're being completely honest, half the time some of our most experienced editors, including sitting and former committee members, don't themselves perfectly agree on what they mean and how they should be enforced. This user reserves the right to be occasionally and egregiously silly. We've all been there...
