Welcome
As you must have guessed; this is my first attempt at editing a wikipedia article (entry) and if I am not doing so correctly perhaps you could help me? Thanks. NTWofPenna.NTWofPenna. (talk) 12:09, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * -BlueBonnet: I have discovered that the entry for Henry F. Pringle contained at least two errors which I have tried to correct (edit). One error was writing "Pringle debunked" when it should fairly have said "Pringle attempted to debunk".  The second error was calling Pringle's biography of Theodore Roosevelt an "autobiography" when it is obviously a "biography". (It was written by Pringle and not by Theodore Roosevelt therefore it is a biography.) I would also like to edit the text and give the source as Edmund Morris: "Colonel Roosevelt" Random House but I do not know how to do this. The edit from the source would be to add that Pringle was "clever enough to conceal the fact that he knew little about the final decade of his subject's life". This line needs to be included where it says that Pringle made a detailed study of the president's political life. How can the study be called "detailed" if Pringle knew little about the final decade of his subject's life?

Hi NTWof Penna, I think I can help you with that. You will add the info the same way you did the other edits - just type it in while you're in the "edit" screen. At the end of the sentence where you've added the info you will add the reference. You can do that using the toolbar - in the edit screen click on "cite" (above the text), another bar will appear with "template" to the left, click on the arrow, then click on "cite book" and fill in as much of the info as you can. You can also just write out a citation manually. See this page: Referencing for beginners, the manual referencing section. Other links that might be helpful: WP:Cite Referencing for beginners without using templates I added a reference section to the article. The reference will automatically appear in that section even though you type it with the text. Don't worry too much about making a mistake as it can always be undone. Let me know if you have any other questions. BlueBonnet 15:54, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
