{{Hidden|style=width: 50%;|contentstyle=text-align: left;|1=How do I create citations?|2=#Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for. 
 * 1) Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
 * 2) In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
 * 3) Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
 * 4) Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like, copy the whole thing).
 * 5) In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
 * 6) If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:

Sorry
Sorry I haven't yet made the new article on the Necroscope characters/places that were removed here. I'll get to it as soon as possible. Samwb123T-C-E 21:48, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

British Slang
Hi Pizik, I have removed your definition of blag as I do not think it correct. I believe you were trying to describe 'blague', which is of French origin and would not be appropriate for an article about British slang.

describes blag as, "1. a robbery, esp. with violence. 2. to snatch (wages, someone's handbag etc.); steal 3. to rob (esp. a bank or post office). " It also describes blague as, "pretentious but empty talk; nonsense."

All the best--Ykraps (talk) 15:41, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Ykraps: I am 100% certain it is not what I mean, it is English undoubtedly. I have used it and I am english. The reference I gave was from a right wing, english nationalist-leaning newspaper. "Blagging" without doubt refers to "persuading with nefarious intent". As the linked article displays the usage in the way I described I fail to see what the issue is other than other editors disagree with me. Glad you posted your reasoning here yet I still believe it is incorrect. Thanks, Pizik (talk) 19:42, 31 March 2012 (UTC)


 * The problem with the reference you provided is that it does not define 'blagging', it merely says "Penfold blagged his way on to Mirabella". This could mean he hid inside a suitcase; or it could mean he told some bullshit story, which fits with the definition of 'blague', don't you think? I am familiar with the Daily Mail and wouldn't trust them to know the difference. Regards--Ykraps (talk) 08:32, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
