User:Mr. Straub/how to make a reference

Reference tags
'''References are the sources where you found information. How can you add a reference? See the example below.'''

We wrote the following sentence in the Fuyang wikipedia page.


 * Huang Haifeng (黄海峰) is the Vice Secretary of the Communist Party in Fuyang and the acting Mayor of Fuyang

'''How can we add a reference? By using the following tag to make a reference. Place the code after the item that you want to include in your article.'''

'''First, find a resource that has the information that you want to reference in the article. In this case, the Fuyang government website has a page that mentions Huang Haifeng.'''

Click here to see the webpage

This is a blank code:


 * URL is the internet link.
 * Title is the name of the source, in this case a webpage, not the website.
 * Date is the date that the source was created, not the date that you found the source.
 * Publisher is the name of the organization that published the source.
 * Accessdate is the date that you found the source, not the date that source was published.

Your reference tag with the Huang Haifeng reference information filled in will look like this:



Place the reference tag after the sentence with Huang Haifeng.


 * Huang Haifeng (黄海峰) is the Vice Secretary of the Communist Party in Fuyang and the acting Mayor of Fuyang.

'''Then scroll down and click on save. The Fuyang page will now have a reference that looks like this:'''


 * Huang Haifeng (黄海峰) is the Vice Secretary of the Communist Party in Fuyang and the acting Mayor of Fuyang.
