Guide to referencing

I thought you might find it useful to have some information about references (refs) on wikipedia. These are important to validate your writing and inform the reader. Any editor can removed unreferenced material; and unsubstantiated articles may end up getting deleted, so when you add something to an article, it's highly advisable to also include a reference to say where it came from. Referencing may look daunting, but it's easy enough to do. Here's a guide to getting started. Good referenceseditA reference must be accurate, i.e. it must prove the statement in the text. To validate "Mike Brown climbed Everest", it's no good linking to a page about Everest, if Mike Brown isn't mentioned, nor to one on Mike Brown, if it doesn't say that he climbed Everest. You have to link to a source that proves his achievement is true. You must use reliable sources, such as published books, mainstream press, authorised web sites, and official documents. Blogs, Myspace, Youtube, fan sites and extreme minority texts are not usually acceptable, nor is original research, e.g. your own unpublished, or self-published, essay or research. Inserting a referenceeditThe first thing you have to do is to create a "Notes and references" section (unless it already exists). This goes towards the bottom of the page, below the "See also" section and above the "External links" section. Enter this code:
The next step is to put a reference in the text. Here is the code to do that. It goes at the end of the relevant term, phrase, sentence, or paragraph to which the note refers, and after punctuation such as a full stop, without a space (to prevent separation through line wrap):
Whatever text you put in between these two tags will become visible in the "Notes and references" section as your reference. Test it outeditOpen the edit box for this page, copy the following text (inserting your own text where indicated), paste it at the bottom of the page and save the page:
(End of text to copy and paste.) It should appear like this:
Information to includeeditYou need to include the information to enable the reader to find your source. For an online newspaper source, it might look like this:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Note the single square brackets around the URL and the article title. The format is:
Make sure there is a space between the URL and the Title. This code results in the URL being hidden and the title showing as a link. Use double apostrophes for the article title (it is quoted text), and two single quote marks either side of the name of the paper (to generate italics). Double square brackets round the name of the paper create an internal link (a wikilink) to the relevant wikipedia article. Apostrophes must go outside the brackets. The date after The Guardian is the date of the newspaper, and the date after "Retrieved on" is the date you accessed the site – useful for searching the web archive in case the link goes dead. Dates are wikilinked so that they work with user preference settings to display the date in the format the user wishes. References not onlineeditYou can use sources which are not online, but which you have found in a library or elsewhere—in which case leave out the information which is not relevant. The newspaper example above would be formatted like this:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Here is an example for a book:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Make sure you put two single quote marks round the title (to generate italics), rather than one double quote mark. Date formateditThese formats are all acceptable for dates:
Citation templateseditYou may prefer to use a citation template to compile details of the source. The template goes between the ref tags and you fill out the fields you wish to. Basic templates can be found here: Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Citation quick reference Same ref used twice or moreeditThe first time a reference appears in the article, you can give it a simple name in the <ref> code:
The second time you use the same reference in the article, you need only to create a short cut instead of typing it all out again:
You can then use the short cut as many times as you want. Don't forget the /, or it will blank the rest of the article! A short cut will only pick up from higher up the page, so make sure the first ref is the full one. Some symbols don't work in the ref name, but you'll find out if you use them. You can see multiple use of the same refs in action in the article William Bowyer (artist). There are 3 sources and they are each referenced 3 times. Each statement in the article has a footnote to show what its source is. Alternative systemeditThe above method is simple and combines references and notes into one section. A refinement is to put the full details of the references in their own section headed "References", while the notes which apply to them appear in a separate section headed "Notes". The notes can be inserted in the main article text in an abbreviated form as seen in Harriet Arbuthnot or in a full form as in Brown Dog affair.

You uploaded this image as your copyright. Presumably you are Patrick Hughes. Otherwise, could you explain how you have the copyright. If you own the copyright, you don't have to relinquish all rights to the work for it to be on wikipedia. It can be uploaded under Fair use (though actually not by you, only by another editor), in which case you relinquish no rights. However, its use on wikipedia would then be very limited, probably to just the article on the artist. Public Domain release is fine, if you are happy with that, but Wikipedia is quite content with a free licence, such as GFDL: either option means the image can be used freely throughout wikipedia (e.g. maybe in articles such as Venice). The V&A museum has released a lot of images under GFDL. See User_talk:VAwebteam#GFDL. If you do release under PD (or GFDL) you might want to state that the licence applies only to the specific file, not the original image—unless of course you wish otherwise. I see you have released other images, so the same applies to them. You can reply here, or on my talk page. Tyrenius (talk) 00:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- PS It would be great to get an angled photo of Vanishing Venice so the 3-d surface was apparent. Tyrenius (talk) 02:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Copyright confirmation
editI noticed you had edited since my posts above, but not replied. It is important that wikipedia establishes confirmation of the copyright status of the images with PD tags. For example, a statement on www.patrickhughes.co.uk that the images were released as PD would suffice and this could be linked to from the image page on wikipedia. Thanks.

Alternate Account
editAre you able to confirm whether James Heartfield (talk · contribs) is your alternate account? Singularity42 (talk) 20:08, 30 October 2009 (UTC) Yes, Sorry, I made it by mistake. It seems to be harder to get rid of than create.Heartfield01 (talk) 20:59, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Re:Cathy Rogers
editWell this is interesting, however I fear it falls foul of WP:NOR and therefore inadmissable as a source anyone could have written that and claimed they were Cathy Rogers and wrote that. There was a similar issue here (at the bottom of it) where a user had recieved an e-mail from the subject's creator but could not put it in as it was original research. The Channel 4 broadcast where it was mentioned i'm afraid is the reliable source rather that the screenshot. If you can get something that says what's in the e-mail from a published source (ie. a Newspaper, Channel 4 etc.) Then you can use it but the main problem is that that screenshot can't be used to source that, sorry.

- Now that's more like it. Seems reliably published to me. If you want to use the book to source it, make sure you include the ISBN number. There's a template here you can use for that i've lifted from List of sports clubs inspired by others (look at it through the edit view).
