Adding citations
See wp:citations When editing, if you have a browser which supports RefToolbar/2.0, you should see this at the top of the edit window Clicking on Cite will drop down an additional bar, clicking on "Templates" will drop down a list: Mine has an additional. See template:Cite web (for web pages) template:Cite news (for news sources) template:Cite book and template:Cite journal for scientific journals, not on the options is template:cite magazine and others. See Citation Style 1 below.

For wp:inline citations, One typically uses ...Bob married Alice. If you want to put it in the external links section, leave off the and just add THe former becomes ...Bob married Alice. The latter becomes: As you can see, it didn't like my date and shows a warning in red. It's best to check one's work by clicking the Preview button before the Save page button. If you are only editing a section, the citations don't show. I sometimes add the reflist temporarily (don't forget to remove it!)

One needs a to display the citations in the desired spot. Otherwise they are displayed at the end of the page.
