User talk:Kickdown

Welcome, and thanks for creating RadSec
Hello Kickdown,

First of, welcome to Wikipedia! I did not expect that i could start with a hello, seeing the quality of the article you just contributed (In other words, great job for a new article! :-) ). Aside from dropping in to compliment on the obvious quality of the article, i would like to give you some suggestions regarding the article (I already changed the article to incorporate them).

I see you added references to the article by adding numbers in the textm and then adding the references in a separate subsection. It is actually easier to add the references between ref tags like this:  . This will automatically interpret anything between the tags as a reference. Under the references subsection, adding   will then automatically generate the list for you. (You can see an example of this in your RadSec article now).

Along with being a more manageable method, it also allows you to cite a single source multiple times by creating named references. This is what is called a named reference and it can be used like this:   (See the difference? In the first tag a new variable called name=ietf is added). If you want to cite the same reference again, just place   at the place where you want to cite it. A more detailed description can be found at WP:REF.

Again, thanks for adding the article, and i wish you a pleasant stay at Wikipedia. With kind regards, Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 11:04, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
