Citing sources

[edit]

MLGoddardEsq I've noticed you've added a good deal of material to the article but without any citations. Please review Wikipedia's content guideline on citing sources here: Wikipedia:Citing sources. GuineaPigC77 (talk) 04:33, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello GuineaPigC77,
I am new to Wikipedia so am unsure how to cite this. The main body of this text is a transcription of a privately published booklet from 1910.
I have referenced the author and publisher in the text
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

I think I have sorted it out, I hope it was done correctly MLGoddardEsq (talk) 05:56, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So if I understand correctly, the new text is a direct quote from the booklet? Or is this paraphrased in your own words? Check out Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Quotations. GuineaPigC77 (talk) 06:16, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
