what is is considered an "essay" and why is this article considered as such? JohnMie (talk) 20:59, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * See No original research, one of our key content policies. JohnCD (talk) 21:07, 16 March 2011 (UTC)


 * It means, it is written like a personal reflection or essay and may require cleanup, because it is not in an encyclopedic style.


 * Articles need to state Encyclopaedic facts, with a reference to a reliable source directly after each fact.


 * We do not do original research.


 * The article contains vague terms, and opinion, rather than factual statements.


 * I suggest you look at a few featured articles or good articles, to get the idea of appropriate tone to use.


 * Please check some of those links, but if it is not clear, ask again and I could give specific examples. Cheers,  Chzz  ► 21:11, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Simple references
These require two parts;


 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.


 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837.

Chzz lives in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.  Chzz  ► 21:15, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
