User talk:Arboristy3

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia! (see also Welcoming committee/Welcome to Wikipedia)

I'm an ISA Certified Arborist in the Seattle area. I noticed your contributions to the article "Arborist" and wanted to thank you for joining us in expanding and improving the content.

I noticed that you got tripped up a bit on the wiki markup for citations. I'm no expert but I'll do the basic source citation here so you can see it.

It will look different on the saved page then what you will see in the edit box. The code below the "References" title tells the computer what to do with all the inline references in the body of the article. The computer numbers the footnotes as it goes through new edits. If you want to learn more there are a few links below to take you to the tutorials. Don't let any of this slow you down, the arborist article has real potential, but it still needs to be expanded, organized, clarified, sourced, and generally made better. If you want to contact me off the arborist discussion page my user talk page is over here User talk:Michael J Swassing. Here are some of the basics for getting started on the wikipedia project:
