Harry W. Baals
I'm new to wikipedia and find it a bit confusing to read this information, but here goes. I have a source that states that Minnie Baals is the wife of Harry Baals. Why do you guys take it off the page? How do I site my source? Here it is : Harry W. Baals was born November 16, 1886, the son of August and Margaret (Felger) Baals. He was married February 5, 1909, to Minnie Marie Witte. http://www.genealogycenter.info/results_builders.php?acsurname=minnie baals Please help!! --Tomes1978 (talk) 18:18, 19 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that is a 'false positive' response from the anti-vandal bot; sorry about that.


 * I suspect it was a combination of a) you not referencing it in the 'correct' way, and b) probably because the bot mistook "Minnie baals" as vandalism - which is, I suppose, understandable.,


 * The correct way to reference information is to place the reference details in-between &lt;ref> and &lt;/ref>, directly after the fact. So, I have corrected your edit to read;

 | spouse         = Minnie Marie Baals

{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" ! How references work

Simple references
These require two parts;


 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.


 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837, in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.
