re: post on my talk page

Well, I really am not sure how to apologize, as I have probably gone too far for that, but I was not paying attention (which is normal for me) and I jumped to conclusions. You were correct, 100%. I owe you such an apology as I probably can't give to you through a keyboard, but I hope you will forgive me. I will undo my edit to Lynchburg, and put something in the summary so that people know I was in the wrong. Again, I hope you can forgive me for my stupidity. I am very impetuous and quick to make assumptions, but that is no excuse for what I did to you. I hope I haven't made you want to leave Wikipedia.
Also, if you want to post on a talk page, add two equals signs on each side of whatever you want to name the header, like this: == Headline text ==, and put your addition to the bottom of the page. At the end of your post sign your name with four tildes, like this: ~~~~ J.delanoy^gabs_adds 15:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

How to re-reference a source

Hey there, I stumbled upon your question on J.delanoy's page about re-citing references. This is something that took me awhile to learn, so I figured I would take the time to explain it:

1. First, create the initial reference this way: **<ref name="WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL THE REFERENCE"> the reference goes here, consider using a Citation template </ref>
2. Then, each time you need to re-use that reference, just type this: <ref name="WHAT YOU CALLED THE REFERENCE ABOVE"/>

• • Note how the recycled ref has the backslash before the end: />
  • Also, you can call the reference whatever you want, but make sure it is in quotation marks.
  • Example:
  • I am hungry, in fact I'm so hungry that I'm eating some bagels with cheese right now. And boy do they taste great.

Hope this helps! Lazulilasher (talk) 16:07, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

How to cite the same source in more than one place

Well, I was going to type a long description and then provide an example, but I just deleted it all, and it took me so long to type all this out (because I type horribly) that someone else gave a you a suggestion. However, it is better to use the citeweb tag, so I will include what I was going to type out because it tells how to use it.


The best way to re-cite an article is to use the citeweb tag - <ref name="this">{{cite web|url=|title=|author=|publisher=|accessdate=|date=}}</ref>. By naming the reference, you can re-use it as many times as you need. I will give an example of how to use the citeweb tag. Let's say I want to cite Google's home page in an article. (Which I would probably never do in real life.)

Typing this,

Google's current home page was copyright in 2008 <ref name="google">{{cite web|url=http://www.google.com|title=Google|author=|publisher=Google Inc.|accessdate=2008-02-01|date=}}</ref>. There are two giant buttons under the search box, and one of them is bigger than the other <ref name="google"/>. In addition, there are many links to various Google services set in different places on Google's home page <ref name="google"/>.

produces this.

Google's current home page was copyright in 2008 . There are two giant buttons under the search box, and one of them is bigger than the other. . In addition, there are many links to various Google services set in different places on Google's home page .

and the references look like this:

(it wont work, look at the refs on Eli Manning)

A few note notes on using the citeweb tag:

1. It doesn't matter if you don't fill out the tag completely. You are only required to have the URL and the title, but you should add as much info as you can. The title should describe what the page is about. Most news sources, such as CNN.com, have a title above the article, if any page has it, put that for the title. If it doesn't, just try to describe the article as concisely as possible.
2. A LOT of news websites get their info from other places, such as Reuters or the Associated Press. If an article says it got the info from an external source, I usually say what the source is under "publisher", but this is by no means a hard-fast rule.
3. The access date is the date you personally viewed the page. In order to work correctly, the access date must be in an exact format. That format is yyyy-mm-dd e.g. if you viewed an article today, put 2008-02-01 under "access date". You can use whatever format you want for the "date", which is the date the article was published.

Hope that helps (and wasn't too long) J.delanoy^gabs_adds 16:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
