Multiple References
[edit]This is a small tutorial which I'll be using greatly. Its for citing multiple areas in an article, using just one reference, so that it looks neat and tidy in the reference section of the page.
1) Firstly add this code after the first section of text that you want to cite. (Just as you would a normal reference link.) Where there is text in bold, this has to be replaced.
<ref name="Create a reference name here">[Add the reference link and a brief explanation here]</ref>
2) Secondly add this code after the section of text which is being cited using the original reference. (This is the second piece of text that uses the same reference.) Where there is text in bold, this has to be replaced.
<ref name="Insert created reference name here (as above)"/>
An example from the article: Ice Age 3:
Confirmed Cast
- Manfred aka Manny (Mammoth) - Ray Romano[1]
- Sid (Synocnus) - John Leguizamo[1]
- Diego (Smilodon) - Denis Leary[1]

Articles & Contributions
[edit]| Article | Notes |
| Article: Creations | |
| Cell (Film Adaptation) | I'm a huge fan of Eli Roth, and decided that I'd like to create another page, and this one was perfect. Unfortunately there's not a lot of information, but everything on the current page is all my work. As more news is released I'll start updating the article. |
| Ice Age 3 | With announcement of the film I created the article. Since then I've added more and more, but with it not being released until 2009, the page is lacking in information. As soon as more is released I'll add it to the article. |
| Puss in Boots: The Story of an Ogre Killer | I heard of this film and decided to create the page. It was in fact my first article creation that survived not being deleted. The films isn't due out until 2011 so until more information gets released I won't be contributing to the article - apart from rescuing it from vandalism. |
| Contributions: Major | |
| House of 9 | This article was in major need of being updated and was lacking in many areas. When I fist came to the article, I was presented with this, and after a short while I had managed to add a decent introduction, a cast list and chapter view. It wasn't easy to revamp, because of the little information available on the web but I was up for the challenge. I hope to add more contributions in the future. This is the article today. |
| James Wan | When I went to contribute to this page I found it in a bad way. I decided to help improve the article by adding a decent introduction, a newly written biography (which the first was lacking in references, so I made it my duty to add a good few), and a filmography which I was surprise the article didn't already have. Some of the images have been removed since, but I hope to liven it up by acquiring some images that fall under the terms of Wikipedia. I've left the article like this for now, but hope to come back to it at a later stage. |
| Saw IV | This has been an ongoing contribution since the page was newly created. I've added to almost every part of the article, excluding the plot, which seemed to take off when I wasn't really contributing much. With it being my one of my favourite film series, I take great care in making sure its saved from acts of vandalism, and this is a regular occurrence. The current page is still being edited and will continue to be, well past the release of the film. I'm sure I'll still be there at these stages. |
| Saw Series | When I came to edit the page it was like this. It wasn't really that bad, but I felt I could add to a few areas to make it a good deal better. My main contribution has been the extension of the info box and addition of the records sections, as well as other moderate contributions to the page throughout. I haven't edited the article in quite sometime, and there's not much else that can be done until the release of the upcoming forth installment. Until then I'll be away from contribution to this article. |
| Shrek 4 | Most of what you see now is due to be contributions. I've added the info box, and created the cast section. My later contributions have been to the plot and production areas. I love the series, so I imagine I'll be contributing up until its released in 2012 and far beyond. With only a small article so far there's not a lot to say, but I'm hoping more news soon will help it to grow. |
| Splat Pack | This is a new addition to my contributions. I'm hoping to find more information to expand the article, but when I came to it, there wasn't much. I decided that more information was needed and complied a very informative table with films, directors and producers, as well as distributors. My contribution that I left was this, but I'm hoping that its not my final one. With more news, I'll expand the article in the future. |

| Contributions: Work Needed to Improve | |
| Final Destination Series | I feel I can add to the page by way of style and composition. It doesn't look the best of film series articles (no offense to those that contribute) but I'd like to help improve it. Also I think I can add a few extra sections that the page is missing; awards and media information (DVD, soundtracks etc). |
| Maximum Ride | This isn't a very good article for a series of books. A few links is very poor, so by looking into what other book series have on their pages, I hope to create an outstanding summary of the series itself. Something of a mammoth task that will take a great deal of time. |
| Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment | In general it needs a major revamp, the plot and cast aren't very well written for the style of wikipedia, and also its missing references from the book. This is another large task which will take more than a couple of hours. |
| Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever | Like above, the page is in major need of help, and a big section missing is the relationship between this and the first book. I'll re-do this page once I've done the prequel. |
| Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports | Like above, the page is also in major need of a revamp, and it too is missing the relationship between this and prequels in the series. I'll re-do this page once I've done the prequels. |
| Maximum Ride Soundtrack | Not sure as of yet how I'm going to improve the article, but I'll find a way. I can see sub-sections of information about recording and the bands that complied the album. |
| The Zodiac (Film Adaptation) | One of my favourite films so if I can help with improving it I'd love that. I think I need to look at other film articles and see what the page is considerably lacking. If I can improve it and get it up to the GA status that would be even better. |
| Contributions: Future | |
| Maximum Ride: The Last Global Warming Warning | I know I'm going to love this book, so why not create the page when more information comes out about the plot, and characters. I imagine however that (with books in general) not a great deal of information comes out before hand, so I'll be creating the pages as soon as I can (assuming I'm not beaten to it). |
| The Sims (Film Adaptation) | I can't even believe they are trying this as a movie, but it intrigues me so I'll look forward to finding out about it. There's a section in The Sims 2 article, that will remain there until its official released. Once it has been I'll create an article of its own (assuming I'm not beaten to it). |
| The Sims 3 | I'm a huge fan of the other games in the series and will, when its official and more information has been released, move the section from The Sims 2 article, to an article of its own (assuming I'm not beaten to it). |
| Articles: To Improve to GA Status | |
| Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment | |
| Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever | |
| Maximum Ride: Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports | |

Referencing Correctly
[edit]I encourage everyone who edits wikipedia to use this tutorial in citing references correctly. Around the site there are many different types, but the following is the best and most professional way of going about referencing material.
Use the following code when you wish to cite a source correctly. This gives credit to the author, publisher and the dates they got the scoop on the news.
<ref>{{cite news | author= Insert the name of the author of the information | url= Add the reference link | title= Copy the title of the source | publisher= Insert the name of the publisher of the information | date= Insert the date of when the information was uploaded to the original site | accessdate= Insert the date when you retrieved the information }}</ref>
For easy use:
<ref>{{cite news | author= | url= | title= | publisher= | date= | accessdate= }}</ref>
This code is pretty self explanatory, and can be used in conjunction with citing multiple references. All that needs to change is...
<ref>
to...
<ref name="Create a reference name here">. (click the above link for an explanation).
I decided to have a go at changing the template, because most people working around the related articles, don't want a large info box.
