Models
Hi, I see that you've added sections on models to several articles - I've had to fix them up, because you put the source so that it appeared in the text; in each case, I enclosed your ref in  tags, ; and sometimes needed to containing a  as well. In one case I needed to up a bit, to stay clear of the standard appendices. See WP:CITEBEGIN to find out more. -- Red rose64 (talk) 23:42, 17 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi


 * You commented on my editing and if I did it wrong I apologise, I copied from another page. However, your amendments just seem to confuse the issue.  I don't see the need for a reference.  Just need a link from Silver Fox Models to the page on the website.  Just want to keep it as simple as possible.


 * Regards

 * I've moved your reply here so that we can keep it all in one place
 * OK, it's possible that the page that you copied from was itself laid out incorrectly - which page was it?
 * There is a general need for references on Wikipedia, since we have a policy on verifiability; but it is preferred to use a third-party source, such as a review in a reputable modelling magazine like Railway Modeller or [//www.model-railways-live.co.uk/Magazine/ British Railway Modelling]. Links to a manufacturer's website aren't third-party, so if they are not being used as a reference, they must satisfy the guideline on external links. In particular, see WP:ELPOINTS and MOS:APPENDIX regarding placement; and WP:ELNO regarding the types of links that are prohibited (such as item 5 "links to individual web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services"). So, if you could find some magazine reviews, that'd be great.
 * I won't be online this afternoon, since I shall be at the meetup in Reading. You're welcome to come along if you like . -- Red rose64 (talk) 09:51, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
