Hi Lmeffert,

Welcome to wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edits on the Clinical neuropsychology page. I'm not sure whether you were trying to add a reference for the use of WAIS or whether you were trying to add an internal link to the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale page.

If you were trying to add a reference the best way to do this is by using the automatic citation templates. They are found by pushing "Edit" at the top of any page and then under the "Cite" tab there is a "Templates" drop down box. For articles like clinical neuropsychology you would mostly be using the cite journal or cite book options. You just fill in the appropriate spaces and it will automatically format the reference for you. You just need to make sure the information is relevant and its from a reliable source (ie journal article or textbook).

If you were trying to add an internal link, this is done by adding 2 square brackets  around the name of the page you want to add a link for. I didn't add the internal link, but you can do so if thats what you were trying to do.

I'm pretty new to wikipedia editing myself, so I know when you first start there is a fair bit to learn. If there is anything else you're not sure about, feel free to ask me on my (talk) page below.

Happy editing.

Adding references
Hi,

I noticed you inserted a reference for WAIS again. If you want to insert a link to the WAIS page use double square brackets around the words. Another wikipedia page isn't suitable as a reference. If the other page you are trying to reference has the information with a citation, you can use that citation though.

I've included some pages that might help you out with your referencing WP:REFB and WP:REF.

Don't get discouraged, there is a bit to learn when you are just starting out. If you have any questions or would like me to clarify anything use my (talk) page below.
