References using cite.php
Hi, I noticed you are new to Wikipedia. Welcome and thank you for your contributions so far! I am writing to let you know I fixed the formatting on nitrogen cycle for your information about New Tank Syndrome. The tags is always hidden in the text. Instead, the text will display simply a superscript number. This number is a hyperlink to the reference which appears in the "References" section. It won't appear at all, of course, unless there is a section (usually entitled "References" or "Notes") that contains the tag. Using these tags, you can't make a reference appear as anything except the superscript number, which is automatically generated by the cite.php code. You can find more information here and here.

Adding new information and citing it is an excellent way to contribute to Wikipedia. I wish more editors would cite their sources! However, simply adding links to the "external links" sections without context can be considered "link spam." This kind of edit is likely to be reverted, and in fact I revert these types of edits on various articles all the time. You can read WP:EL for more information.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have questions or need anything. You can reply here as well, as I will add this page to my watchlist. Thanks again for your contributions. --Ginkgo100 talk · contribs · e@ 20:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

You edit to nitrate
Dear Jay0013, you have added a link to several pages. I have reverted one, and I saw that another was also reverted somewhere else on a page on my watch-list. I think it is fair to warn you, I am afraid that the addition of such links to the external link section on pages is considered 'spam' (see WP:SPAM), they are considered advertisements. --Dirk Beetstra T C 22:04, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Aquarium
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do.
