[edit] Citing references

Main pages: WP:V, WP:RS and WP:CITE

Quick guide:

Short statement of fact taken from a website.<ref>http://website/path/file</ref>

Another statement of fact taken from a website.<ref>[http://website/path/file Short description of reference]</ref>

Some statement of fact taken from another wikipedia page.<ref>[[Page name|Short description of reference]]</ref>

Information from a non web source.<ref>citation template</ref>

Now you can know almost as much about references and citing sources as I do! DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 15:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

ps. I did the first one (reference from school website) for you.

pps. Self published references should be avoided if possible - you need to find external references that report on notable things like newspaper articles about schools visiting the library, new principals being appointed etc. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 15:36, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
