I removed the name you added to Rory Cellan-Jones because it lacked a source. See the links in the Welcome message above regarding WP:Verifiability and reliable sources. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 22:10, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

BAREURL at Ros Atkins
Thank you for your edit to Ros Atkins, and in particular for adding the citation to BBC. I just wanted to let you know that the citation you added is what is known in Wikipedia-speak as a BAREURL, which is just a url between &lt;ref>...&lt;/ref>, without any other information. Bare urls are subject to something called WP:LINKROT, which means that since urls change or disappear, we might lose verifiability on that content. WP:Help footnotes explains more about how to create footnotes. You can also look at some fill-in models (Wikipedia calls them "Templates") which are ready to use, at Template:Cite web, Template:Cite book, and Template:Cite news (there are many other citation templates as well).

So, how can you prevent link rot on the citation you added at Ros Atkins? You can use the cite web template to add more information about that BBC article, including the title, date, author, publisher, and the date you accessed it, like this:

Can you add this in place of the WP:BAREURL at the Ros Atkins article?

Going forward, here are some fill-in models of the three templates I mentioned. You can copy-paste them right out of this page and into an article, and then just fill them in: Just pick the right one for the kind of source you are using, fill it in and paste it into the article. Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me at my Talk page any time, if you have questions. There is also the WP:Help desk, and the WP:Tea house. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:37, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
