Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. -- 12 N oo n 2¢ 22:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Assistance
I recently posted my first update on Wikipedia to the page on siding, specifically relating to vinyl siding. When I added the information, I could not find any way to add citations. Now the update I put up, which contains factual, verifiable information, is gone. While I understand the use of citations (and would have included something had I seen how), it is frustrating that there are no citations on the "siding" page at all (including information on why vinyl siding is "good"), and yet my update is removed for not having a citation. Please let me know what I need to do to get up very important factual information about the problems related to vinyl siding.

Please let me know what I need to do.

Sincerely Gnarlyoak


 * Hello, Gnarlyoak! See Citing sources to learn how to cite a source properly. If you are not planning on using Wikipedia all that frequently and would rather just have someone do it for you, that can arranged but you still must provide the source (i.e., URL link if it is a website, etc.). If you do need help with the citing technique, either leave another message on my talk page (I might be slow to respond as I am doing several things both on- and off-line right now!) or simply place another on your talk page (don't place all of the code this time, that keeps it from working). Regards.-- 12 N oo n  2¢ 20:43, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
