Draft:Ann Hall - Citation templates.
Hi Lisa,

I just noticed you managed to move Draft:Ann Hall to its new title - well done! Don't worry about not finding that option; after a while you get used to using the Mediawiki software that powers Wikipedia, but it is pretty much a maze for everyone who first tries to use it.

Now, i didn't just decide to drop by for some idle chatter. I had a look at the Draft:Ann Hall article, and i noticed you are using a lot of book references which is great. One thing i equally note is that you add them between barebone tags. There is nothing wrong with that, but i am guessing that after the 5th or so reference formatting them becomes tiresome and tedious. There is actually a more convenient way to cite a book or a webpage. If you edit the Draft:Ann Hall article (or any other page) you should see the word "Cite" to the right in the edit menu. If you click that button a menu should appear, with on the left side a dropdown stating "Templates". Click that one and select "Cite book" from the list. You will now see a popup that can be filled in with the reference details.

Now here is the handy trick. You can fill in the ISBN field and press the looking glass after it to have the template auto-fill itself with all the known book details. For example, the "American Women Artists: From the Early Indian Times to the Present" you cited had ISBN "9780816185351". Just fill that in and press the looking glass and presto, you got a filled in citation. All you need to do is add the page number, click the calendar icon next to "Access Date" and add a "Ref Name" (A name that identifies a specific reference).

It is also possible to use the same trick using a Google Books URL, though this only works if you use the Monobook skin for Wikipedia. Under the Monobook skin the option exists to paste a Google books URL, followed by a click on an icon that fetches the books data. It works wonders for books that are availible on Google Books yet lack an ISBN number. (To explain: Monobook used to be the default layout for Wikipedia until 2010. After that it was replaced by the "Vector" skin, the layout you currently see. While Monobook is less fancy, reader friendly and feels a tad outdated it is still in very common use due to people being used to it and due to it supporting a few features not available in the new skin).

Well, that is a whole lot of chatter from me i suppose. To give an example of the result i took the liberty to change the first two references on your draft into citations. I hope that trick proves to be useful! Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 23:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. 5 albert square (talk) 07:04, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Heya!
Hi Lisa,

Just a quick message to explain the message above – once you've changed your username, you'll be good to go again! One of the reasons we have individual usernames is so that you can be properly credited for your contributions.

I've had a gander at your articles and they look very good – well written, constructed and referenced. The help desk is good, but you might also like to check out the Teahouse, which has a handful of mentors and a more relaxed feel to it. Anyway, thanks for the articles and hope you enjoy editing in the future! Brammers (talk/c) 12:37, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
