{{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 [//tools.wmflabs.org/makeref/ 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:

Rocket engine
Suggest you the person who you are addressing on you talk:Rocket engine post. Otherwise your post may not be noticed. Remember to sign with four tildes ~ so that the ping is activated. GliderMaven did add an wp:edit summary as to why the revert was made here. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:14, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I thank you for helping out a noob editor, but I honestly don't think I have the motivation necessary to get the change made. And now its even worse than it was before for me trying, sorry for fucking the place up :/ RequiaAngelite (talk) 18:07, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It would appear that you weren't the only one "stomped on" at talk:Rocket engine. Unfortunately, there are too many edits and too few watching. So, something that is a bit off often gets undone without contacting the editor as to specifics. It would be best if editors would have a discussion with the editors who they revert. I, too get complaints about this, unfortunately... The problem seems to be that the ornery, thick-skinned editors hang around while the more sensitive type leave or avoid being wp:bold. I wish User:Jimbo Wales would do something, but has not. The excuse being that some of the psychopathic editors are really good. Or, something like that.


 * My recommendation would be to try something simple on an article that is not so well established. There are often wp:own issues with well established articles. Hope to see you around! Leave me another note if you would like some advice. Also, check out the wp:teahouse Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 21:47, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I don't have much in the way of other plans. This was more of a 'I need to figure this shit out and I'll work on the page while I do that' thing. Will see whats there when I'm on my next non politics topic (cause well...).  As for Wales, I'm fairly certain he's invested in the idea that Wikipedia will work without him trying to control the site. And in fairness while he seems levelheaded I've seen lots of sites die crushed beneath the egos of their owners, so it could be way worse than a hands off approach.
