Reliable sources
Hi,

Regards this edit, though any information is valuable, it's ten times more valuable if accompanied by a reliable source. Here's a variety of tools that can be used to generate a citation template quite easily, be it a book or a medical journal article. To turn a reference into an in-line citation/footnote, enclose it in the following tags. The wikipedia software will automagically turn it into a [1] and put the actual reference at the foot of the page.


 * Citation templates
 * pubmed/isbn template generator, incredibly useful, uses the pubmed number or isbn to automatically generate a citation template for you
 * Google scholar autocitation, a google-style search engine and reference generator. Useful when the article doesn't have a pubmed number (old, social sciences or humanities).
 * tools, but the above are my favourites to date

 * Incidentally, the contribution is good, but the tone needs adjusting, because wikipedia is not a how to manual. I shall endeavour to do so now.  WLU (talk) 18:19, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Oops, forgot to mention - for medical articles, WP:MEDRS and WP:MEDMOS both apply and are useful. WLU (talk) 18:20, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
