- Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
- Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
- In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
- Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
- Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like
<ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>
, copy the whole thing). - In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
- If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References== {{Reflist}}

Hello, I'm Donner60. An edit you recently made to Areca nut seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 01:35, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
- I am deleting my message because the more specific message given by Jim1138 is sufficient and more helpful. Here are a few other links that also may be helpful to you.
- Help:Referencing for beginners and Help:Footnotes are useful for tips on references and instruction on inserting footnotes
- Wikipedia:Simplified ruleset
- Wikipedia:Simplified Manual of Style
- Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia

Please use wp:reliable sources (RS). Blogs are not considered RS as there is often no accountability. See wp:ELNO no 11. Also, you added too much specific detail into the lede (the first section of the article) Detail belongs in the body. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 01:40, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- I undid your edit again. Detail too specific for the lede. Also see WP:NOTADVOCATE. It would seem that you are advocating for a cause. Avoid advocating on Wikipedia. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 01:50, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, I am trying to promote clean sidewalks for all. Nothing wrong with saying no to the skeaviness that is buai pekpek!
