Welcome
Hello, Bfryar, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

External link
External links do not belong within the article, there is most of the time a section called "External links" for links to other sites that are not sources are placed. The link you have been adding has been placed in the "External links section" within the 2010–2011 Queensland floods article. Please see Wikipedia's external linking policy.

 * Further to that I want to explain why the external links sections is better for your link. The page discusses the Fitzroy basin in general but not a thing about the recent floods.  It provides an understanding of the catchment and adds context.  This means it is suitable to placed in the External links section but not as an inline reference. If related information was placed in the Fitzroy River article that link would be appropriate to add as an inline reference there. - Shiftchange (talk) 04:17, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
