helpme Hi I am asking for a bit of assistance as a nubie. I added an update to the page for arthur bremer with today's news that he will be released from prison probably this year. I tried to cite the AP press release. My cite and anyone elses's seem not to work now. The various help sections here do not seem to be very inuitive to me (for example in using cite templates). Many of them could benefit if actual step by step examples were introduced, imho. In any event could somone be so kind as to see if they can 'clean up' my addition to this entry. Thank you!

 * The problem was caused because you didn't close the tag. If you don't close it, the software assumes that you intend to make the whole rest of the article a reference, which of course is not what you wanted to do. I've fixed it for now, though. There's more information on footnotes here, and also some information on citing sources. Please also keep in mind that when you add content to an article, it needs to be in your own words. News articles, and in fact most information on the internet, is held under some form of copyright which we don't have the permission to distribute. Thanks, and happy editing!

Well thank you for that help. Funny thing that copyright law....so many exceptions, etc. But I paraphrased, etc. and it should be good to go so Cheers!
