User talk:Damomate

Welcome
Thank you very much for assessing my contribution and congratulations on the project. I would like to add more to my contribution but I am still a little uncertain as to what. Any suggestions are welcome. I hope my references are in order as I had a little trouble getting them right. Damomate (talk) 18:05, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Your welcome. As far as the references go, what you've done is fine for a short article that's just beginning (usually referred to as a stub), but it's almost always better to use inline references (putting the reference inside  tags) immediately after the statement(s) they support. You can take a look at Help:Introduction to referencing for the basics on what, why, and how to reference, or Citing sources for more detailed information.
 * For improving articles generally, take a look at the tips in Writing better articles. As for expanding a particular article, that depends on what information you can find in reliable sources – some subjects just don't have a lot of (reliable) information available, or at least not online – there may be information offline in libraries. For any articles related to Australia, you can ask questions and get answers from librarians from the National Library of Australia at (and similar services exist for the state libraries), and it looks like you've already found Trove, another amazing NLA service.
 * If you're not sure on what sort of content should be in the article, then it's a good idea to have a look at other similar articles (eg those listed in Category:Settlers of Western Australia) to see what they've got.
 * And finally, you can post messages at a WikiProject's talk page to see if other editors with similar interests can help. In this case, the relevant pages would be Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Western Australia, Australian Wikipedians' notice board, or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. I hope that helps (and isn't too overwhelming) - Evad37 &#91;talk] 01:57, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
