External links

Wikipedia:Tutorial/Citing sources shows how to make external links which are both for citing sources and any "External links" section of an article. Copy this exercise to a sandbox and make all the examples like the first three correctly formatted ones. (The asterisks are for making bullet marks on lists.)

Citing sources

Wikipedia:Tutorial/Citing sources has a lot of information about formatting references to create footnotes. You'll see people do it in a variety of ways, including using complicated looking "templates." But all you have to know for now is how to make a simple link like the below.

<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/article_name.html Article in The New York Times]</ref>

Make such simple links for all the references below, putting the various words and phrases in the appropriate order. Don't forget your Wikilinks to famous people, books, periodicals, etc. But do NOT try to put them inside your external links. Format the references also. In general book, movie and album titles are italicized and articles have quotation marks around their titles; so make those formatting changes too. Some editors italicize publication names, others do not. Adding ISBN to book numbers is helpful but not required.

"Copy this whole section to a sandbox and include the "references" section at the bottom so you can see how your footnotes look after you save your page.

You should now be in an editing screen in a sandbox looking at this model:
