Adding references can be easy
Hello! Here's how to add references from reliable sources for the content you add to Wikipedia. This helps maintain the Wikipedia policy of verifiability.

Adding well formatted references is actually quite easy:
 * 1) While editing any article or a wikipage, on the top of the edit window you will see a toolbar which says "Cite". Click on it.
 * 2) Then click on "Templates".
 * 3) Choose the most appropriate template and fill in as many details as you can. This will add a well formatted reference that is helpful in case the web URL (or "website link") becomes inactive in the future.
 * 4) Click on Preview when you're done filling out the 'Cite (web/news/book/journal)' to make sure that the reference is correct.
 * 5) Click on Insert to insert the reference into your editing window content.
 * 6) Click on Show preview to Preview all your editing changes.
 * Before clicking on Save page, check that a References header  ==References==  is near the end of the article.
 * And check that    is directly underneath that header.
 * 7.Click on Save page. ...and you've just added a complete reference to a Wikipedia article.

You can read more about this on Help:Edit toolbar or see this video File:RefTools.ogv.

Quince Orchard High School
Thank you for your well-intentioned edits on the above article, but I have reverted them again. An encyclopedia by definition is a tertiary source. That means we have very little interest in what the school has to say about itself. Please only cite (and please actually add citations. See above for how) the school for the most mundane of information. Examples would include the address and the key staff (however the only staff we ever mention is the principal). This is the link for the latest stats on the school from the NCES. That would be a fine source for your recent edits! John from Idegon (talk) 02:13, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
