User talk:Amanduhbean

Amanduhbean, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Hello Amanduhbean. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to User:Amanduhbean/sandbox. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Amanduhbean. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message.


 * Hi, I'm not sure where I am supposed to reply. I am not being indirectly or directly compensated and it is not a conflict of interested.Amanduhbean (talk) 23:26, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Do note that not all conflicts of interest are financial. If you are writing about a close friend or a family member, say, you also have a COI. You can write an article even with a COI, but be extra careful to stick to what the sources say, and to declare any COI. DES (talk) 01:54, 9 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello, could you review my draft in Sandbox and give me some input on how I can continue perfecting it for submission? I've added the citations & quoted from the texts. Thank you!

Sourcing on User:Amanduhbean/sandbox
When citing sources, please include bibliographic information also known as "citation metadata". This includes such information as the title of the source, the name of the larger work it was published in, if any (such as a web site or newspaper or magazine), the date of publication, the author if known, the publisher if known and if not obvious from the work (when the work is The New York Times, it adds nothing to tell us that the publisher is the New York Times company), and the page number for a printed or paginated source. Referencing for Beginners and the other pages linked there describe how to do this in some detail. DES (talk) 01:52, 9 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Where do I put this additional information? I have just been ending sentences taken from the articles by using 'Inserting references'. I can provide these bibliographic infos if I know where to put it. Many thanks Amanduhbean (talk) 22:05, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * You can do it manually, by putting the information between the  and the   tags. This would convert something like   into something like
 * for example.
 * You can use citation templates, which would make the above into:
 * Such templates can be inserted using the ref tooolbar, which appears above the editing window. Position your cursor at the end of the sentence to be referenced. Select "cite" on the right, then select "templates" on the left on the next line (which appears when "cite" is selected) then click the arrow next to templates and select one of the templates from the list. A form will be displayed. Fill in the relevant fields (almost no ref uses all of them). Click "insrt" ,when you have filled in the info. The cite template will be added to the article.
 * All of this and much more is explained in detail, with examples and screenshots, in Help:Referencing for beginners which i pointed you at before. Please read it, it explains the process thoroughly, both for those using the Visual Editor, and for those using the wiki-source editor. It explains several methods. Help:Referencing for beginners with citation templates goes into a bit more detail about one method. Please read at least the first of these. DES (talk) 02:15, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
