{{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:

Welcome aboard; do you have a big interest in race and ethnicity topics?
Hi, Wilsc889,

I see you are new here and have added paragraphs about a book published a few years ago to several articles. Welcome aboard. I reverted some of those edits in articles for which I thought the paragraphs focused too much attention on one subtopic of the article topic, but reasonable minds can differ, and we'll what other editors think (and what anyone thinks about the edits you made today where I looked at them but left them as is). Based on the one book that you are citing to all the articles you edited today, it occurs to me that you may be interested in the Anthropology and Human Biology Citations bibliography I've been updating since 2010 to share resources with other Wikipedians. There are a lot of good books mentioned there, and I will see how soon I can take a look at the book you recommend to see how it fits into the literature. Feel free to suggest other books for inclusion in that bibliography if you know of other good books. I'm always chronically behind in updating that bibliography, but it grows over time. See you on the wiki. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 20:37, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! I actually just finished reading that book and was just so impressed by the level of research, the narrative and all that was put together. After a lot of racial and ethnic discussions that have been going on in the U.S. I thought it was just too important not to share with other people. I even went as far as to reach out to the author just based on my fascination and apparently he is working on something new, too. Thanks for reaching out and I am really curious to see how things progress with Wikipedia. I cannot wait to see how other editors and other updates transform on the platform here!

Rich Benjamin, etc.
I noticed your addition to Whiteness studies. In that article and another, I wiki linked the author: Rich Benjamin and book: Searching for Whitopia: An Improbable Journey to the Heart of White America. I notice that the articles Rich Benjamin and Searching for Whitopia are stubs. If you are familiar with the book and author, please consider expanding those articles. That would be much appreciated! I'm a horrible editor, but know a bit about the workings. So, if you need any help in those areas, let me know! Cheers Ping me with &#123;&#123;u&#124;Jim1138&#125;&#125; and sign "&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;" or message me on my talk page. 18:30, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

This is perfect. I am very interested in the piece and really wanted to get the information out there. This is a great addition!! I will try to add more into the book segment. Thanks so much.Wilsc889 (talk) 17:35, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
