Apologies. However we can change the reference to Fastenal. Fastspec and Portland are both wrong. http://www.fastenal.com/content/documents/FastenalTechnicalReferenceGuide.pdf page 36 Kilbert (talk) 14:17, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Screws help
In the Screws wiki page (Hex cap screws section) The reason for elimination of "Finished Hex Bolts" is : in response to an influx of counterfeit fasteners PL 101-592 was passed. The ASME B18 committee rewrote B18.2.1 and eliminated "Finished Hex Bolts" and renamed it todays Hex Cap Screw. I have no source for this other than it is in the preface to the ASME B18.2.1, The information is valid, and would make the article correct. Is there a way to reference the document or add the information though it is copyrighted and I cannot post it online? Kilbert (talk) 13:42, 3 May 2010 (UTC)


 * That sounds fine, Kilbert. You can give the full details of a reference between a &lt;ref> and &lt;/ref> directly after the fact - please give enough details so that a reader could locate the source. Do not post copyright material; if there is a link to an online copy, you could add that; if not, just give all the details you can - any code number, the publisher/organization, etc.


 * For example,


 * Model 42 screws are 4mm in length.


 * The details that you put in the reference will appear at the bottom of the document, automatically linked with a small 'reference' number.

{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" ! How references work

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, 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.

 * For more help, you can either;


 * Leave a message on my own talk page;
 * Use a - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put , and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~ at the end;
 * Talk to us live, with this or this.


 * The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello.  Chzz  ►  14:22, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
