Attaching references
Hi Plantton, here’s a late reply to your previous question on how to attach references.

First, make sure that the source you’re going to use is not categorised as “unreliable” on this list. If you can’t find your source on that page, you may still use it (e.g., many Chinese newspapers’ sites aren’t there but can still be used). On the contrary, if it’s categorised as “unreliable” on that list, we won’t use it. Second, to format your references, you can use tools like: As a side, there seems to be variation in citation styles for different pages, and people usually refer red to those as WP:CITEVAR. I can never understand them the differences between the formats of those citation methods or how to use them correctly though.

 * https://citer.toolforge.org/ (enter the URL, choose the date format, I usually choose the last one, press Submit, and there you go)
 * https://citation-template-filling.toolforge.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi (this one is usually for medical content, the source may have a Pubmed ID which can be used to generate the citation)


 * And this is a useful page to learn more about the formats. All I’ve mentioned above are for adding references to the articles. To add a link to the talk page, as you may have already known, is relatively simple. Just paste the link, or, if you want it short, put the URL inside a square blanket, e.g., [Your URL] . -- Dustfreeworld (talk) 23:19, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the reminder. I will take that into account. Plantton (talk) 15:11, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
