Tip of the day...

Pretty tables

When using tables in articles, consider using class="wikitable" at the top of the table, like so: {| class="wikitable". This puts a grey border around all the cells, gives heading cells a grey tint, and uses many other common formatting settings without having to spell them all out.

Here are additional resources suitable for new as well as expert contributors:

• Introduction to tables – a four part quick introduction
• How to use tables – when and how tables should be used on Wikipedia
• Table accessibility – Manual of Style guidelines
• Table customising and styles – Styles and tricks to customise tables

Glyptodont, I appreciate your eagerness to edit but you can learn from more experienced editors when an edit is reverted. There are many citation styles that can be used on Wikipedia so a common beginner's mistake is to edit or delete something that is unfamiliar to them. A citation with the author and the year is only needed when the book is listed at the bottom. When you don't understand why an edit has been reverted, you can start a conversation on the article's talk page or leave a message on the editor's talk page. Thank you.
