Welcome
editHello, Brandon Figaro and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Drm310 🍁 (talk) 03:23, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

How do I use Wikicoding to cite text? It is not working in my sandbox article draft.
- Looking at User:Brandon Figaro/Film criticism, you have successfully created a footnote. Is there something else you wanted to be able to do?
- I should point out that the draft appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article so it is unsuitable to submit for review. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 00:53, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- How do I cite an Honors' Thesis in my sandbox article draft on Film criticism? Specifically, how would I cite this Honors' Thesis that I have linked after my questions? https://soar.suny.edu/bitstream/handle/20.500.12648/6777/honors/32/fulltext%20(1).pdf?sequence=1
- Try to use {{Cite thesis}}. Be warned, though, that there have been discussions in the past about whether a thesis can be cited as a reliable source. WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 26#Masters Theses
- As commonly occurs, the outcome seems to be "it depends" and it also depends on what facts you are using the content of the thesis to support. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 05:18, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
