Adding references to Wikipedia
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you recently added a reference to the Lollapalooza article, but there were a couple of issues. First and foremost, you did not give any useful information about what the reference actually was. This can cause issues with LINKROT, for instance if the University of Arizona changes its URL scheme. The second (which actually goes along with the first) is that it's behind a University login. This means that, combined with point #1, there is simply no way for anyone other than a UA student to see it or even know what is the source.

The best thing to do in the future is use the refToolbar (a description is at WP:REFB section 3.1); it allows you to easily add information about references such as the author, title, etc. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.
