Rory Gallagher
What exactly are you trying to achieve by these edits? Normally putting a book in as a source is done as a separate source item and not as a reference, which are actually inline citations at the point where the statement made is verifies by the source itself on a specific page. It looks like you want to add this as a general source, so trying to add it as a numbered reference (49) will not work. Have a look at the inline citation structure in edit mode or ask me a specific question. I'll be happy to help. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 08:18, 12 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks so much for getting in touch. I accidentally deleted the reference section on the Rory Gallagher page by getting my code wrong and I can't seem to restore the reference section to the way it was previously, before I attempted to edit it. I would be hugely grateful for any help you can provide in restoring it.


 * I take your point about the book entry. Just tried to add it as I saw other book entries in the reference section. Kev "Kevink32 (talk) 21:32, 12 April 2013 (UTC)"


 * I've reverted all the attempts you made. The reference section does not contain actual book, or other source entries, what it contains is the citations that are entered inline where the source is being used to verify a statement in the prose and these citations are automatically transcluded into the reference section by the code, so long as a reflist tag exists and that is what was removed by Sfan00 IMG, not by you. You cannot add a new citation without it being inline with the prose but you can add a book's details as a source not as a citation if you are not using it to cite some statement. Have a read the link to inline citations that I gave you for a start. You can also drop the full details here and I will add it for you and then you can see how I did it. Also please use a Talkback tag on my talk page to let me know you added something else here as I won't be watching your page but that way we keep a discussion in one place. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 21:47, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Just wanted to say I've been following this as well and agree with WW2censor. I would encourage you to look at some of the major assertions in the article that aren't well sourced, I'm sure there are some, and use the Cork book to strengthen them. Adding a reference, especially to a book, is pretty straight forward, there is a citation tool in the basic editing widgets you can use. But if you don't want to do that, that is cool too, in any case even though I think the reference is now no longer there I took note of the book. I'm a relatively new fan of Rory's but I think he is amazing and want to read more about him and beef up his Wikipedia page so that others know about him. There aren't many books about him though so your reference was helpful, I'm going to try and get that book and I may also use it to beef up the references or add more detail to Rory's article.
