Citation help
[edit]- Composing footnotes using the WP cite templates
- (Summary of WP:FOOTNOTES section 3.1.)
- Please note that bare URL footnotes – i.e. footnotes that contain only the website http address – are susceptible to link-rot, which means that if the website moves to a new domain with a new URL, the link will be broken and readers will be unable to read the citation.
- First put the cursor at the point in the edit text where you want the footnote to go, then click "Cite" in the edit strip at the top of the Edit Page, then click "Templates" on the left, and a drop-down menu appears.
- Choose "cite web" or "cite news" (for articles and websites), "cite book" or "cite journal", click and a box comes up.
- Fill in the all details of the citation, then click "Preview" and "Show parsed preview" to see it looks right. (To correct anything, correct the box entries, then click the two "Previews" again.) In "cite book" remember to add the page number(s) of the book.
- Click "Insert" and the citation automatically goes into the edit text. (It may not go in at the exact point where the cursor is if you use Firefox or Chrome.)
My friend made the above template. Good luck with the new article. ~Technophant (talk) 23:21, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Kristina Shapran
[edit]Hello, LaraSophia. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Kristina Shapran".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Snowycats (talk) 17:25, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
