Reference formatting
Hello, I'm BlackcurrantTea. Thanks for your your edit to Carles Puigdemont. You used an edit summary and included a reference, which is a great start. One thing that can take some practise is reference formatting. You added your reference as an external link in the body of the text, and that's not how it's done. References begin with. That tells the Wikipedia software that what's between those 'ref tags' goes in the references section. Once you add those tags, there are different ways to format the reference itself. Have a look at then, when you've some time, have a go at it! Go back to any of the pages where you added an unformatted reference, and fix it. If all of them have been taken care of, look at other articles. Chances are you'll soon find a reference that needs your attention. Happy editing! BlackcurrantTea (talk) 11:07, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
