Jasmia Robinson
Hi there.

I heard you were having a few problems with a draft article, so I'm trying to help sort things out. I hope I can clarify.

The draft article is in User:Freshstrawberry/Jasmia Robinson. That is, in a user sub-page. That is the one you should work on.

I have edited your user page, and added a link to that page, and others. You can always get to your user page by clicking on your user-name at the top of all Wikipedia pages - so, it is quite handy.

What I specifically did, on your user-pace, was added links like this;

 *User:Freshstrawberry/Jasmia Robinson *User:Freshstrawberry/My sandbox *User:Freshstrawberry/My test page *User:Freshstrawberry/Something else

The asterisks just make bullet-points.

Putting a page-name in brackets like that makes a wiki-link. Same as if I put e.g. Sausage, it makes a link to the page sausage. Or User:Chzz, to link to my own user page - User:Chzz.

The subpage names of "My sandbox", "My test page", and "Something else" are just things I made up. You could edit the user page and change them, if you wanted. Also, note that they are in red - because they don't yet exist; but you can click on them to create them.

I hope that helps clarify that bit.

As regards the draft article - you need to add references after each fact - so we can see where each piece of information comes from. So, you need to write things such as;

 Jasmia was born in Hackney.&lt;ref>"Interview with Jasmina", A. Person, page 42, The Times, 1st April 2010.&lt;/ref>

All the facts need a reliable source, so that the person reading the article can check it.

I hope that helps. Sorry if you've been confused; Wikipedia can be pretty challenging at first.

If you need any more help, please just put right here, on your user talk page, and ask your question.

Cheers!  Chzz  ► 17:52, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome and introduction
Hi, Freshstrawberry. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

Simple references
These require two parts;


 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.


 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837.

Chzz lives in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.
