Referencing tip
Hello, JonMiMo and thank you for your edits. I'm very glad you are including references, and as a member of WP:USCITY want to give you some advice on how to make the valuable references better, which I hope you will take.

Take for example your edit to Bonanza, Colorado. I improved the reference so that readers can read the preview on Google Books. That way readers can confirm the accuracy themselves simply by clicking on the Google Books link, and this makes Wikipedia seem much more reliable.

I urge you to link directly to Google Books whenever possible, and doing so is easy with Citation tool for Google Books. All you have to do is copy and paste the link you are reading into the tool and it will automatically generate a pretty reference for you to add to Wikipedia.

Again, thank you very much for your contribution.– Gilliam (talk) 01:56, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * On Google Books, you have to click on the button next to the scissors (kind of looks like a bowtie?) to get the URL for the page you want. For example, at Monroe Township, Anderson County, Kansas, you wrote that the information is on page 67, but the preview took readers to page 105. (Don't worry, I fixed it). No matter what page you're on, click that bowtie button and copy/paste that page's URL, then insert the URL into the Citation tool to get a reference pointing directly to the relevant page. Thank you.– Gilliam (talk) 02:41, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
