Citing[edit]

I'm kind of unclear when to cite sources or not. Should I cite a website if I just steal a huge chunk of info from it? (like I did for the JICA Obihiro blurb)Yaki-gaijin 02:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you should provide a citation in some form for pretty much any statement of fact that is not reasonably obvious. External links in the article body are undesirable, so use the <ref></ref> tags and, for instance, the {{cite}} template.

Note that you shouldn't steal text wholesale from another site unless that site's content is properly licensed, or the passage falls under fair use.

Oooook, so maybe I should delete that whole paragraph and rewrite in my own words...? (the entire description of JICA Obihiro) Yaki-gaijin 02:53, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like a good idea. Descriptions straight from the entity in question, like the JICA example, tend to be extremely POV in terms of self-promotion and have unnecessarily flowery language. -Amake 03:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Obihiro, Hokkaido. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20080411054507/http://www.city.obihiro.hokkaido.jp/mpsdata/web/246/012_kouzi0701.pdf to http://www.city.obihiro.hokkaido.jp/mpsdata/web/246/012_kouzi0701.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).
