Some tips

 * When you include the references as in-line tags (e.g. ), you do not need to repeat the citation later in a references section. It is a good idea to put the Reflist template toward the end of the article, which will repeat all of the references you cited earlier.
 * To do a header, place it between two sets of two equal signs, == like this == . To do a subheader, throw in an additional equal sign on each side, === like this ===
 * To italicize, place two single quote marks on either side of the portion you wish to italicize, like this (but not "like this").
 * To bold, place three single quote marks on either side of the portion you wish to bold, like this'.
 * I strongly recommend that you go to Changing_username and apply for a username change. Our username policy usually restricts usernames with the word "Wiki" in them to accounts affiliated with the Wikimedia foundation.
 * When in doubt, look at how other articles do things.

 * Oh, I forgot: we also have a manual of style that discusses some other finer points of formatting. Ian.thomson (talk) 04:02, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!
I'm ready to move this to the "real" site. I have read the replies to my teahouse queries, but I'm still not sure how to process the move, especially since I am not yet autoconfirmed and have no "MOVE" option on my page. Could someone process the move for me? EditWikiJapan (talk) 01:42, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
 * You may not have permission to move articles yet, I'm not sure how that works. I do know I have permission, so I'll move it for you. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:51, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I've moved it to Japan Chernobyl Foundation, and reset your sandbox so you can use it for other stuff. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:58, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. I appreciate all the advice and assistance. EditWikiJapan (talk) 02:12, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
