{{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:

 * Hi Shyam. There are a few options here; it rather depends upon what you want to achieve.
 * You can create a user subpage at User:Syamsunders/Shyam Sundar S.
 * You can add the code  to your userpage, which will change the name at the top of the page without actually renaming the page itself.
 * You can change your signature in your Preferences to display as "Shyam Sundar S" instead of "Syamsunders" (but make sure you read this guideline first).
 * You can create an alterate account as User:Shyam Sundar S, though you'll need to abide by the policy on multiple accounts.
 * You can rename your current account by filing a request at the username changes page.
 * I hope at least one of the above is useful; if not, give us a better idea of what you want to do and we'll try and help. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  09:33, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
