Practice with references: Use of ref begin and ref end
below is some text copied from Sanpaz to learn better ways to handle references. publication of the critical state concept. Roscoe obtained his undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering and his experiences trying to create tunnels to escape when held as a prisoner of war by the Nazis during WWII introduced him to soil mechanics.

a classic text book. Schofield was taught at Cambridge by Prof. John Baker, a structural engineer who was a strong believer in designing structures that would fail "plastically".

Text subsection
For any block of text you create, each non-common knowledge statement requires a citation (where this opening sentence is common knowledge). After each statement, you use HTML markup language with "ref" and "/ref" to mark the beginning and end of the references, in each case encompassed by angles brackets. The citation that appears can be in extended, or linear form (linear being the least wasting of editing space). When a citation appears a second time, it may be referenced like this. Always to remember to include page numbers, or other editors will tag the shortcoming. The "cite" markup can be followed by "journal," "book," "web," etc., as shown here; books that appears multiple times, and therefore reference multiple page numbers, can be presented thus, this time referencing page 4.

Comment from fellow faculty editor
Rewrote the lead of the DG article. Please, add any sources and information that you can (but help me stop the pattern of adding sources without information). If you bring new sources—bringing even one would increase the sourcing by 100%—feel free to modify existing text, radically, so it matches your sources. (Unsourced text here has no "rights" or authority.) Thanks for any future effort there.

Also, you appear to be using your Talk page as a Sandbox, and this has some downsides, have a look at Sandbox for more information. Also, I inserted reflist after each reference that you put in place with markup, so that your sources appear near to the text to which it pertains. (I hope this is helpful.)

See the new Section I created for you above, entitled "Practice with references: Simple example article section, referenced" for an example of how to easily create a referenced sentence or section.

Soil mechanics
Hello Prof. Kutter. We've met briefly at a conference last month. I've recently come across your brilliantly written article here on soil mechanics while trying to go through various articles on civil engineering and see what I can translate to other languages. I'm very impressed by the clarity of the article. Thank you for donating your great expertise in geotechnical engineering to Wikipedia! Deryck C. 19:57, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
