Editing advice
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. PhilKnight (talk) 02:24, 23 February 2016 (UTC)


 * thanks for the help WIKI is incredibly difficult to navigate and it a good thing it is. i have been very busy these past 7 years and too busy to worry about these things getting pulled from this page.  i am trying to get the world to know about my famous father, Bobby Cameron.  He was the 1949 NASCAR Super Modified champion.  Big Bill France wrote him out of the history books.    France hated him for statrting the first ever Union in NASCAR. roy cameron (talk) 15:38, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of NASCAR fatalities, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 21:46, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Verifiability
Adding references is how we ensure that content is correct. Without references, there is no presumption of accuracy. Please help make Wikipedia wp:verifiable. Please wp:cite your edits with wp:reliable sources. See Help:Citation Style 1 An example: Steve Jobs (1955-2006) which generates: Steve Jobs (1955-2006) with the footnote automatically added to the References section ( needed). Remember, unsourced content may be removed. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 19:00, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Other's talk pages
Please don't add large amounts of content, especially without comment, as you did to my talk page. It is nearly meaningless to me. I will copy it to a sandbox in your user page and remove it from my talk page. You can refer to it if you wish. I will move it here: user:Royrizzo/Bob Cameron Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 19:07, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

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.

Hope this helps, --Shearonink (talk) 20:19, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
