If you want to discuss an issue, the talk pages (like this one) are the appropriate places to do it. I'm deleting Blondeonblonde, which isn't appropriate as an encyclopedia article. -FisherQueen (Talk) 19:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

References & Citations
I was posting Bearcat's talk page and noticed you asked about how to do citations. Here are a couple of good places to look and so way of citing references:

A formal way which is needed for feature status is on...Citation templates wherein you would then type instead... and fill in the appropriate fields {any not filled in won't show up}..the only two fields which are required are URL and title. Then this way of citing sources will give a little superscript number in the text...and if you have a section named....References or notes, the only thing that needs to be in that section is this code... and the formal bibliographic style of citation will magically auto number and appear nicely referenced down below for you.

User:Jeepday/Cite has forumlas for citing references.

I hope this helps. Mr. C.C. 06:45, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Kevin Patterson and other stuff
Yes, an article should always have as many sources as possible. The main challenge at this point is that so many articles were contributed over the years while Wikipedia policies and practices were still in development, and thus didn't get as fully sourced and referenced at the time as they should have been, so there's a lot of cleanup to do on a lot of articles. The citation format that Mr. C.C. posted for you above is ideal, but having external links present at the bottom of the article, even if individual statements aren't footnoted, is still better than nothing at all. At one time that was the closest thing Wikipedia actually had to a referencing standard (or at least the closest thing we had to a properly communicated one, which admittedly isn't quite the same thing) — it's just that not all articles have been fully upgraded to the more thorough standard that we apply now.

Need help with changing password
I want to change my password. I am not receiving an email response after I hit “forgot password. “ I think this is because I created my account, years ago, with an email address that no longer exists. I see no other option to allow a change. If anyone knows what I need to do, please advise. Thank you. Blondeonblonde (talk) 15:02, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
