About your feedback
Hi April. Thanks for working on the article Scars on 45. I saw your feedback and thought our cheatsheet and help guide on editing might be useful for you. Steven Walling &bull; talk   23:23, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

More HOWTO
In addition to what Steve Walling said, if you include enough sections headers (“== like this ==”), then the Table of Contents will automatically show up. “Section headings” on the Cheatsheat says:
 * A Table of Contents will automatically be generated when four headings are added to an article.
 * Do not use =Level 1=; it is reserved for page titles.

In response to your feedback
Hi AprilSteele, and thanks for leaving feedback. Linking in Wikipedia is pretty easy once you get the hang of it - it works like this: Hope this helps; if you need any more specific advice feel free to ask on my talkpage or at the helpdesk. You might also find the cheatsheet useful for working out markup commands.
 * Double square brackets link to existing articles: Badger = Badger.
 * Within those brackets, a pipe can be used to display different text: Hairy digging beastie = Hairy digging beastie (note that this still links to Badger).
 * A hash mark can be used to locate specific subheadings within the article: Where badgers live = Where badgers live (links to the "Distribution" section in the Badger article).
 * External links - on other websites - can be enclosed in single square brackets, and use a space instead of a pipe to create a different title: Dancing badgers = Dancing badgers. Note that the http:// prefix must be present.

Whoops, you asked about citations as well - the short version works like this: First, add the reflist template to the bottom of the page. Then, within your article, place the reference you want to use between reftags, like this:

Chzz is 98 years old.&lt;ref> The Book of Chzz, Aardvark Books, 2009. &lt;/ref>

He likes tea.&lt;ref> Smith, John. " Interview with Chzz", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22.

== References ==

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.
