Talk:Gummery

Cleanup concerns
It's OK as an article, but please refer to Manual of Style to Wikify it. For example, try not to link names within the main article directly to external websites. Use inline citations instead or a reference section at the bottom. Good luck. I've also noticed nobody has bothered formally welcoming you to Wikipedia. I will rectify that on your talk page now. :) Bubba hotep 12:30, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bubba - thanks for your comments and welcome. I'm VERY new to Wikipedia and am feeling my way around. Could you please explain these inline citations I should use? --Linda Hansen 12:49, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


 * If you take a look at the section "People with the Surname Gummery" – instead of putting the name of the person "inside" a link (as you originally did), put the link at the end of the sentence – example – without adding any displayable text and it will create a numbered external link which people can click on to verify the info you had just stated in that paragraph. In-line citations are links in the main body of the article as opposed to separate external links at the bottom. Hope I haven't confused you too much. :) Anything else you need to know, I will try to help! Bubba hotep 12:58, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


 * By the way, you had already done an inline citation after the sentence "...but had spread to other industrial centres in the country..." - the numbered link is an inline citation, just don't label it with a name or anything. So I just taught you something you did know! Bubba hotep 13:01, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I get you !! Thanks. It's all a matter of understanding the terminology!! Linda Loosabelles 13:09, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Believe me, it's very easy to fall into the trap of using jargon! I've only been on here a few months, but you soon get the hang of it and find some really useful people to help. Bubba hotep 13:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Just corrected the Bayswater link to an internal link - a WikiLink, if you will. Bubba hotep 13:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
